  • Patent number: 8394041
    Abstract: One embodiment provides a body massager with a backrest, a lower torso massager, and an upper torso massager. The upper torso massager extends from the backrest for imparting a massage effect to the upper torso of the user. A biasing member is connected to the backrest and the upper torso massager for urging the upper torso massager into contact with the user. Another embodiment provides a body massager with a housing having a first guide oriented generally in a longitudinal direction of the housing. A carriage cooperates with the guide for limited longitudinal translation. A motor translates the carriage along the guide. A second guide is canted relative to a longitudinal direction of the housing. A massage member is supported on the carriage and cooperates with the second guide such that as the carriage is translated along the guide, the massage member is translated transversely relative to the carriage.
