  • Patent number: 4884574
    Abstract: A vibratory sauna having a cover rotatably connected to a lower housing that supports an elongate member adapted to support the torso of a person using the sauna. The cover forms a compartment that passes hot air over the torso by way of a blower mounted in a longitudinal air duct that is positioned in a chamber formed by the lower housing and the elongate member. Hot air coils are in the duct. The elongate member is resiliently supported by the lower housing so that a vibratory device causes the elongate member to move at a predetermined tempo. A head support extends longitudinally from the lower housing. One or more systems, such as a face fan, air purifier, radio and/or cassette player with stereo speakers, amy also be provided, if desired, and controls for all such systems may be suitably disposed on the inside of the cover for access during use of the vibratory sauna.
