Massaging apparatus having massage rollers rotatably mounted on

A carrier holding massage rollers is provided on an upper surface of a base plate so that the carrier can run on the upper surface of the base plate. A vibration transmission plate made of a material capable of transmitting vibration is provided on the base plate. The vibration transmission plate is provided with a vibration generator. Thus, when the vibration generator is actuated, the vibration transmission plate vibrates to massage a person lying on his/her back over the base plate.

Disclosed is an apparatus for selecting a mattress. The amounts of elastic deformation in a plurality of points of a measuring mattress having a predetermined hardness are electrically detected by pressure sensors. Based on the electric signals generated from the pressure sensors, a first average value in the amounts of deformation in the head portion and the leg portion of the user and a second average value in the amounts of deformation in the other portions of the user are calculated in a control device. First and second straight lines denoting these first and second average values, respectively, are displayed on a display device together with a mark designating the hardness of a mattress adapted to the user. The optimum hardness of the mattress is determined on the basis of the difference in the amount of deformation between the first and second straight lines, so as to enable the user to select a mattress of a hardness adapted to the user.

A massage apparatus is provided with a pair of foldable guide rails extending parallel to each other. Carriers having massage rollers thereon are set on the guide rails so as to be able to reciprocate along the guide rails. The carriers are coupled to belts which travel along the guide rails in a reciprocating manner.

Massage apparatus

A massage apparatus includes a foldable base plate, carriers with massage rollers thereon capable of running on the base plate, a pair of guide members arranged on the base plate and foldable together therewith, each having therein passages, and a drive mechanism for reciprocating the driving belt in the passages to transmit driving force to the carriers.

A self-contained tent includes a flat rectangular case which can be freely opened or closed. A tent sheet and a plurality of substantially U-shaped frame pipes are held in the case. The two ends of each frame pipe are pivotally supported in the case through a pair of supports. When the tent sheet is held in the case, the sheet covers the frame pipes. An edge of the tent sheet is attached to the edge of the case through a seal element, and the frame pipes are fastened at predetermined inner surface positions of the tent sheet.

A mattress comprises an upper layer having a number of projections formed integrally on the top surface thereof and a lower layer, the upper and lower layers being formed of foamed plastic capable of being deformed by compressive load and restored. A hygroscopic layer formed of a highly hygroscopic material such as cotton is disposed under the upper layer to absorb water from the upper layer. Between the hygroscopic layer and the lower layer lies a middle layer which has a number of columnar core members arranged parallel to and coupled with one another. The core members are formed from relatively hard foamed plastic. An outer covering covers the upper, hygroscopic, middle, and lower layers. Upper and lower spaces are defined between the middle and hygroscopic layers and between the middle and lower layers, respectively, and communicate each other. The water absorbed by the hygroscopic layer is discharged into the upper and lower spaces, where it is discharged into the open air through the outer covering.

In a tilting health table apparatus, a pair of first handles are horizontally set on both sides of the upper end portion of a leg assembly. A table is swingably fitted to the leg assembly to securely hold the user and the table is securely set in a prescribed position by means of first, second and third stopper mechanisms. A foot board is mounted on one end portion of the table, and a pair of second handles are fitted to both sides of the foot board.

Multi-projection multi-hole roller for massaging and chiropractic therapy

Chiropractic body massager

Apparatus for chiropractic therapy and massage having a housing on which the user lies, pressure means including a number of pressure rollers disposed in the housing which rolls to apply pressure on the user lying on the housing, a support frame provided in the housing and supporting the pressure roller, a pair of pulleys provided in the housing, and a wire stretched between the pulleys to reciprocate the support frame. The apparatus further comprises a spring coupled to both ends of the wire for absorbing the elongation and contraction of the wire; and first and second interlocking members coupled to both ends of the wire and to the support frame for transmitting the driving force of the wire directly to the support frame without transmitting the driving force to the spring.
