Abstract: Good massage can be performed on a wide range of user's body, extending from the shoulder to the buttocks. A chair massager (1) comprises a massaging mechanism (7) having a massager piece for massaging part of user's body as a target of massage, and a moving rail (8) disposed along a vertical direction to guide the massaging mechanism (7) in vertical movement. The massager piece includes a first massager piece (14) lying in an upper position as seen from the massaging mechanism (7), and a second massager piece (15) lying in a lower position as seen from the massaging mechanism (7). The massaging mechanism (7) is designed to perform massage by actuating the second massager piece (15) to jut toward the target of massage when set in position at the bottom part of the moving rail (8).

Abstract: A massage device for performing a kneading massage including paired left and right massage members, each having a treatment element, and a massage mechanism for operating at least one of the paired massage members to cause the treatment elements to move close to and away from each other in the horizontal direction to produce kneading actions. The massage member has an arm member extending substantially perpendicularly to the approaching/separating direction, and the treatment element is disposed at the front end of the arm member so that an extended line L extending along the protruding direction of the arm member passes through the interior of the treatment element.

Abstract: Provided is a massage device for giving a variety of non-boring kneading and massage feelings to a to-be-treated part. The massage device of the invention comprises: paired left and right massage members having a treatment element, and a massage mechanism for operating at least one of the paired massage members to cause the treatment elements to move close to and away from each other in the horizontal direction to produce kneading actions. The massage member has an arm member extending substantially perpendicularly to the approaching/separating direction, and the treatment element is disposed at the front end of the arm member so that an extended line L extending along the protruding direction of the arm member passes through the interior of the treatment element.

Abstract: In a chair-type massaging machine, when using a leg massaging device or when used as merely a chair or a sofa, it is made possible for a user to take a relaxed posture such as stretching legs forward. The leg massaging device provided in the chair-type massaging machine of the present invention is provided with an advancing and retreating mechanism. The advancing and retreating mechanism allows the leg massaging device to advance and retreat between a zero position in which the treating surface of the leg massaging device hangs down at the front end of the seat section and a second massaging position in which the treating surface is kept substantially horizontal in a massaging mode time.
