  • Patent number: 8579840
    Abstract: A massager has a base and a shaft mounted horizontally on the base. The shaft is rotated by a motor at a slow speed. The shaft has a plurality of spaced apart cams affixed to it. Elongate spring fingers are each affixed at one end to the base. Each finger has an intermediate portion that springably engages one of cams. A free end of the finger moves up and down as the cam rotates. The free end is provided with a projection that is suited to engage a body part. The projection is periodically pressed against the body as the cam rotates. The cams are mounted on the shaft so that they raise and lower the projections as different times. This action causes the projections to each press against the body at different times to emulate massaging fingers.

  • Patent number: 7744548
    Abstract: A massaging device includes a propeller shaft, at least one first swinging member mounted on the propeller shaft, and at least one second swinging member mounted on the propeller shaft by a male deflection block, a female deflection block and an adjusting rod. Thus, when the rotation direction of the propeller shaft is changed, the push block of the adjusting rod is slidable in the adjusting groove of the male deflection block to produce a time lag of the swinging actions between the second swinging member and the first swinging member, so that the second swinging member and the first swinging member are operated in the same swinging direction or in two different swinging directions so as to produce different swinging actions, thereby providing different massaging effects to the user.

  • Patent number: 6695799
    Abstract: A relaxation apparatus which comprises a reclining chair for supporting thereon a whole body of a person who desires relaxation. The person resting on the reclining chair is cyclically vibrated at a frequency not higher than 25 Hz. A control is provided for controlling the vibrating device. The maximum absolute value of acceleration of the vibration produced by the vibrating device to vibrate the person supported on the reclining chair is not greater than 0.1 G. The control controls the acceleration in dependence on the frequency of vibrations outputted by the vibrating device such that the acceleration is small when the frequency of vibrations outputted by the vibrating device is low while the acceleration is large when the frequency of vibrations is high.

  • Patent number: 6371897
    Abstract: Both feet-used arch swinging exerciser includes a hollow housing, a driving unit and an arch swinging mechanism. The driving has a rotary output shaft on which a rotary block is disposed. A driving rod extends from the rotary block. The arch swinging mechanism includes an arch swinging member and an extension rack for resting both feet of a user. The arch swinging exerciser is swung through a unique arch swinging path so that the arch swinging exerciser not only can horizontally swing and exercise both feet, but also can intermittently vertically exercise both feet. Therefore, the feet are more smoothly exercised to eliminate the tiredness of the feet and expedite blood circulation of the feet, legs and waist of the user. In addition, the safety in use of the arch swinging exerciser can be ensured.
