Abstract
A massage chair ( ) is provided. The massage chair ( ) includes (i) a front lower support ( ) including a front attachment section ( ), (ii) a rear lower support ( ) including a rear attachment section ( ), (iii) a seat ( ) secured to the rear lower support ( ), (iv) a front upper support ( ) including an upper attachment section ( ), (v) a chest rest ( ) secured to the front upper support ( ), and (vi) a connector ( ). Importantly, the connector ( ) connects the front attachment section ( ), the rear attachment section ( ) and the upper attachment section ( ) and allows for relative motion of the front lower support ( ), the rear lower support ( ) and the front upper support ( ) about the connector ( ). As a result of this design, the massage chair ( ) easily moves between a transport position ( ) and an upright position ( ). Further, as a result of this design, the profile of the massage chair ( ) in the transport position ( ) is relatively small.
