1) Field of the Invention
The field of this invention relates to massaging apparatuses and more particularly to a massaging apparatus for a human.
2) Description of the Prior Art
In the past there have been several different types of massaging devices for the human body. There have also been several attempts at designing a massaging device to be utilized in conjunction with a bed. All known,massaging devices in conjunction with a bed are incorporated within the mattress itself. This means that the massaging of the human occurs on the portion of the body that is in contact with the mattress.
If a human decides to partake of the service of a masseuse, the masseuse locates the human in a prone position on an elongated table and proceeds to massage the upper area of the body of the human. Over the years this has been developed to be the best technique for getting a massage. Even though it is acknowledged that massaging the human body from the top, as opposed to the undersurface of the human body, is most effective, prior to the present invention, all known prior art massaging apparatuses, when constructed in conjunction with a table or bed, applied the massage from the surface of the table or bed.
The primary objective of the present invention is to construct a massaging apparatus which applies the massage from above the body of the human when the human is located in a prone position.
Another objective of the present invention is to construct a massaging apparatus which is capable of being stored in the space provided under a conventional bed with this space being provided between the floor and the underside portion of the bed with the apparatus to be completely hidden from view.
Another objective of the present invention is that when the apparatus is in the storage position that it is quickly and easily movable to its operating position with the major portion of the apparatus still remaining in the storage position.
Another objective of the present invention is to construct a massaging apparatus which is most effective at providing a comfortable and enjoyable massage to the human user.
The massaging apparatus of the present invention comprises a rigid base on which is mounted appropriate electronics and a cross slide mechanism. Mounted on the cross slide mechanism is the inner end of an L-shaped mounting arm. This L-shaped mounting arm is to be movable from a storage position, where the arm is in juxtaposition with the base, to an extended position with the arm assuming a substantially upright position relative to the base. When in this upright position, the outer end of the mounting arm is to be connectable with an elongated arm. This elongated arm is mounted in a "teeter-totter" fashion on the mounting arm with the outer end of the elongated arm having mounted thereon a massaging device. The elongated arm includes a movable counterweight which is to be adjusted so that the massaging device will have a tendency to press lightly onto the skin of the human user. The mounting arm, the elongated arm and the massaging device are to be moved over a preprogrammed path as the mounting arm is moved on the cross slide mechanism. The massaging device is also separately driven by an electrical motor with the massaging being rapidly moved in a reciprocating manner.

Referring particularly to the drawings, there is shown in FIGS. 1 to 6 a bed 20 upon which a human 22 is located in a prone position. The bed 20 is located on a floor 24. Between the floor 24 and the bed 20 is located a space 26. Within the space 26 there may be totally confined the massaging apparatus 28 of the present invention.
The massaging apparatus 28 is basically composed of a base 30 and an elongated arm 32. The base 30 will generally be in the form a rigid box having a planer bottom 34 and planer sidewalls 36. There will also be a planer top 40 that is connected across the top edge of the sidewalls 36 which encloses an interior chamber 38. The bottom 34 defines a base plane.
Mounted on the bottom 34 within the interior chamber 38 are boxes 42, 44 and 46. These boxes 42, 44 and 46 are to include appropriate electronics (not shown) which when connected to an appropriate power source (not shown) will cause elongated arm 32 to move across the body of the human 22 along a preprogrammed path 48. It is to be understood that the electronics can be modified to have the elongated arm 32 to move along any desired preprogrammed path 48. It is also considered to be within the scope of this invention that the human 22 can select any one of several different preprogrammed paths 48. Generally the preprogrammed path 48 will result in movement completely across an area of the body of the human 22 such as is shown the back area of the human 22.
Electrically connected to the electronics within box 42 is a stepping motor 52. Stepping motor 52 is mounted on the bottom 34. Stepping motors work well with electronics in establishing and continual repeating of the preprogrammed path of movement. The stepping motor 52 is connected to a chain drive 54. The chain drive 54 is mounted about an idler pulley 56 which is fixedly mounted on the bottom 34. One end of the chain drive 54 is pivotally secured to a pin 58 with the opposite end of the chain drive 54 being pivotally secured to a pin 60. Pins 58 and 60 are fixedly mounted to a block 62. The block 62 is slidingly mounted on a guide rail 64. The guide rail 64 is fixedly mounted on the bottom 34. It is to be noted that the block 62 is permitted to move only longitudinally on the guide rail 64. The block 62 will come into contact with a stop block 66 which is fixedly secured adjacent one end of the guide rail 64. The opposite end of the block 62 is capable of coming into contact with a stop block 68. This defines the limits of movement of block 62 with the block 62 not being able to be disengaged from the guide rail 64. Mounted on the stop block 68 is an electrical switch 70. The electrical switch 70, when contacted by the stop block 62, establishing the y-axis of the home position.
Mounted on the bottom 34 and located in a spaced but parallel relationship to the guide rail 64 is a second guide rail 72. Mounted in engagement with the second guide rail 72 is a block 74 with the block 74 being longitudinally movable on the second guide rail 72. Mounted on top of the blocks 62 and 74 is a guide rail 76. Movably engaged with the guide rail 76 is a block 80. The block 80 is capable of moving transversely between block 62 and block 78 which is mounted on the guide rail 76. The block 78 is mounted on a portion of the guide rail 76 that extends some distance from the second guide rail 72. An electrical switch 82 is mounted on the block 78. This electrical switch 82 is electrically connected by wire 84 to the electronics and upon block 80 coming into contact with the switch 82 will, by closing of the switch 82, establishing the x-axis of the home position. The chain drive 86 is connected between drive pulley 88 and idler pulley 90. Idler pulley 90 is mounted on the block 62. The drive pulley 88 is fixedly mounted on the drive shaft 87 of a stepping motor 92. The stepping motor 92 is mounted by bracket 94 onto the rail 76. The stepping motor 92 is electrically driven by the electronics through wire 96. One end of the chain drive 86 is pivotally connected to a pin 98 with the opposite end of the chain drive 86 being pivotally mounted on a pin 100. The pins 98 and 100 are fixedly mounted on the block 80.
What has previously been described in relation to the guide rails 64, 72 and 76 is what is deemed to be a cross slide mechanism. This mechanism will permit movement of the block 80 within a single plane in essence along an X and a Y axis which is parallel to the base plane of the bottom 34. The movement of the block 80 is limited in the transverse direction by the spacing between blocks 62 and 78 and in the longitudinal direction by the spacing between blocks 66 and 70. Fixedly secured to the block 80 is a sleeve 102. The sleeve 102 has formed therein a bayonet slot 104. Engaging with the bayonet slot 104 is a pin 106. The pin 106 is mounted on the inner end of a mounting arm 108 which is basically L-shaped in configuration. The inner end of the mounting arm 108 is fixedly mounted on a disc 110. In between the disc 110 and the sleeve 102 is a coil spring 112. The mounting arm 108 has a vertical section 114. The vertical section 114 is to be movable from a stowage position, which is located parallel to and in juxtaposition to bottom surface 34 as is shown in FIG. 1 of the drawings, to an extended position which locates the vertical section 114 substantially perpendicular to the bottom surface 34. In achieving this movement, arm 108 must be physically moved in an lineal outward direction relative to the sleeve 102 which results in the compressing of the spring 112. This will permit the pin 106 to move into slot 105 formed within an end of the bayonet slot 104. There is a notch 111 formed in the opposite end of the bayonet slot 104. This will then permit the pivoting action of the arm 108 between the retracted position and the extended position. Each time the arm 108 is moved, it is to be understood that the arm 108 must be moved outwardly in order to compress the spring 112 in order to achieve this pivoting movement. When the arm 108 is in the stowage position shown in FIG. 1, the pin 106 is displaced from the slot 105 and spaced from sleeve 102 located elbow 107 directly adjacent a sidewall 36. Initial movement of the vertical section requires that pin 106 reenter slot 105 to engage with bayonet slot 104.
The outer free end of the vertical section 114 includes a notch 116. The notch 116 is to be engaged with a pin 118. The pin 118 is mounted within tapered plug 120. Tapered plug 120 is fixedly mounted on a bracket 122. The bracket 122 is pivotally mounted by pivot pin 124 to a block 126. The pivot pin 124 is pivotally mounted by bearing assemblies 123 and 125 located within the bracket 122. Block 126 is fixedly mounted onto the elongated arm 32. Elongated arm 32 is capable of being pivoted about ninety degrees relative to the bracket 122. When the elongated arm 32 is in an essentially horizontal position with the tapered plug 120 being located within center through opening 128 of vertical section 114, the arm 32 will abut against threaded fastener 130. This defines the horizontal position of the elongated arm 32. The threaded fastener 130 is threadably secured within the bracket 122. Fixedly mounted on the aft end of the elongated arm 32 is a U-shaped bracket 132. Also mounted on the bracket 132 is a motor 134. The motor 134 is to be electrically driven by wire 136 which connects to male plug 137 which is to be mounted within female plug 138 which is mounted on the vertical section 114. The female plug 138 is electrically connected by wire 140 to the electronics. The switch 139 mounted on vertical section 114 is to vary the speed of motor 134. Switch 139 is also used to activate the electronics. Also mounted on the U-shaped bracket 132 is a handle 142. The handle 142 is for the purpose of physically carrying and mounting of the elongated arm 32 in its appropriate position. However, plug 120 could be fixed to vertical section 114. In such a case, handle 142, male plug 137 and female plug 138 would be eliminated.
The output shaft 144 of the motor 134 is fixedly mounted by a set screw 146 to a connector 148. The connector 148 is formed of a resilient material such as a rubber or plastic material. It is the function of the connector 148 dampen vibration in the transmission of power between shafts 144 and 150. Also connected to the connector 148 is one end of a shaft 150 with this connection being established by means of a set screw 152. The shaft 150 is mounted by a bearing assembly 154 within the center through channel 156 of the elongated arm 32. The outer end of the shaft 150 is fixedly mounted to a wheel 158. Shaft 150 is supported by bearing assembly 160 within the channel 156 that is located directly adjacent the wheel 158.
The wheel 158 includes an off center section 162. A pin 164 is fixedly mounted within the off center section 162 with the longitudinal center axis of the pin 164 always being located parallel to the longitudinal center axis of the shaft 150. The pin 164 is mounted by bearing assembly 166 within a plate 168. The plate 168 is fixedly connected to a pin 170. Pin 170 is located within a slot 172 formed with one end of a rod 174. The connection between the pin 170 and the rod 174 is established by means of a pin 176. When shaft 150 is rotated, the off center section 162 is driven eccentrically relative to the axis of rotation of the shaft 150. This eccentric rotation translates into a wobbling motion for the plate 168 which is driven from the off center section 162 by means of the pin 164. This wobbling motion produces the reciprocating motion of the rod 174 that is lineal because plate 168 is capable of pivoting slightly relative to rod 174 by means of the pivot pin 176.
The rod 174 is mounted permitting only lineal movement within a sleeve 178 which is mounted within a housing 180. The housing 180 is fixed onto a sleeve 182 which is fixedly mounted on the exterior surface of the elongated arm 32. A massager mounting rod 184 is fixedly secured to the outer end of the rod 174 with its securement being by means of threaded fastener 186. The mounting rod 184 can be interchanged with other mounting rods for different types of massaging devices. The massaging device 50 shown is composed of a pair of balls 188 and 190. These balls 188 and 190 are mounted by bearing assemblies 192 onto a mounting rod 194. The mounting rod 194 is low frictionally mounted by means of a bearing assembly 196 onto the mounting rod 184. The balls are free to pivot about seventy-five degrees. The balls 188 and 190 actually contact the mounting rod 184 at the limits of their pivotable movement.
The operation of the massaging apparatus 28 of this invention is as follows: As previously mentioned, the user is to remove the elongated arm 32 and its associated structure from the space 26 underneath the bed 20. The user then manually grabs the vertical section 114 by pulling outwardly which will then permit the vertical section to be pivoted to an upright position as is clearly shown in FIG. 2. The vertical section 114 will be locked in this position upon such being released with the pin 106 coming into contact with an appropriate notch formed within the bayonet slot 104. If the elongated arm 32 is separate, it then connected to the outer free end of the vertical section 114 by pin 118 coming into contact with notch 116 and tapered plug 120 pressing within center opening 128. If the arm 32 is fixed to vertical section 114, the arm 32 is just pivoted into a horizontal position. It can thus be seen that the elongated arm 32 assumes a "teeter- totter" type action and is capable of freely pivoting on the center section 114.
Normally the weight of the motor 134 will almost counterbalance the weight of the massaging device 50 so that there will be a slight downward pressure of the massaging device 50 onto the human 22. However, if this is not the case, a counterweight 198 is to be manually adjusted by being moved along the elongated arm 32 and then set in position in order to achieve this particular slight downwardly directed force. The user then connects the male plug 137 to the female plug 138 connecting the motor 134 to the electronics contained within the base 30. Turning on switch 139 will cause the massaging device 50 to be moved to a home position which would be with the block 80 in contact with switch 82 and block 62 in contact with switch 70. At that particular time, the massaging device 50 will then move through its preprogrammed path 48. While the massaging device 50 is moving along its preprogrammed path 48 which it will do repeatedly as long as the apparatus is activated, the motor 134 is causing the massaging device 50 to reciprocate a slight limited distance. This reciprocation produces a massaging action on the body of the human 22.

Drama Kids International - AtlantaRead MoreDrama Kids International began as the brainchild of Helen O?Grady, a TV actress with a new way of looking at drama and performance education. More than 25 years later, Drama Kids boasts upward of 450,000 current students in camps from the United States to Asia. The camp offers thoughtfully designed programs for kids aged 3?18, and drama instructors who teach at the college level incorporate speech, dramatic movement, improvisation, and social-skill activities into the curriculum. In addition to regular classes, Drama Kids offer summer camps that conclude with a performance for parents and friends.5901 Hugh Howell RoadStone Mountain, GA US
Plaster ZoneRead MoreA menagerie of more than 500 pigment-free plaster pieces such as butterflies, animal figurines, tiny princesses, and popular cartoon characters awaits eager artists of all ages at Plaster Zone. Colorful paints and lustrous glazes enliven each objet d'art, whose decoration process may take anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours depending on the size, detail, and any ongoing space-time entanglements. Unlike clay or ceramics, plaster does not need to be fired, and participants get to take their creations home immediately. The studio hosts birthday parties in addition to its open painting hours that cater to 10-fold groups of children with cupcakes, juice, and their choice of plaster to paint, with shiny veneers of glaze and glitter available for a finish brighter than a Mensa-certified disco ball.5675 Jimmy Carter Blvd.Norcross, GA US

A reputable favorite in Norcross, Kumon Math and Reading Center is a solid choice when you're in the mood for Asian cuisine and want to break away from the typical Chinese or Japanese fare. Don't worry about trying to find a spot on the street, as visitors to the restaurant do have access to a private parking lot nearby.5675 Jimmy Carter BoulevardNorcross, GA US
Eye Level Learning CenterRead MoreEye Level Learning Center's name draws its inspiration from the story of a teacher with a unique perspective. On a trip to the Smithsonian, a man would kneel down in front of each painting, attracting the attention of other visitors. Finally, when asked what he was doing, he replied, "I am an elementary-school teacher, and I will bring my students here tomorrow. I was wondering how my students would enjoy the paintings from a student's eye level." In that spirit, the tutors at this multidisciplinary learning center put the reins in their students' hands with their child-directed learning process, which ensures kids develop the skills they need at a pace they can handle, without getting bored enough to eat their homework and blame it on their dogs.3035 Five Forks Trickum Rd. SWLilburn, GA US
Create It Kids ClubRead MoreOrganized under the motto, "Putting the people back in people skills," L.A. Say Inc. teaches its students how to excel at interpersonal relations. A published author and trainer, founder Tameka Anderson designs all of the company's programs using her background in criminal justice to infuse each lesson with an imaginative focus on honing interpersonal relationships. Aside from its consulting services, L.A. Say Inc. also organizes kids' theater classes, during which younger students learn how to interact through teamwork and imagination, giving them a welcome distraction from adolescent antics such as launching notes at classmates with slingshots.5030 Georgia Belle CtNorcross, GA US

EDMONTON - The Stelmach government cleared the road for reform in Alberta's health-care system by ensuring its policies and plans will be handled by a single health board, not the nine regional bodies whose directors all were ousted Thursday.
Health Minister Ron Liepert said the move won't directly affect health professionals or patients, but consolidating the $13-billion-a-year system into one public corporation will remove barriers to his vision of more standardized, accountable and integrated service.
"The past governance structure would not guarantee that we can get to the next level of ensuring equitable, basic health care throughout Alberta," he said. "MLAs have brought to me instances of where one side of the road in one of the regions delivers services different from people who live on the other side of the road."
Public care advocates and opposition critics warned the move could be a step towards privatization, while experts and health workers' groups weren't sure what sort of change the restructuring will ultimately bring.
One thing was clear: Effective noon Thursday, all 127 board members from the regional authorities, including Capital Health -- as well as the Alberta Cancer Board, Alberta Mental Health Board and Alberta Alcohol and Drug Abuse Commission -- were out of work.
Liepert immediately replaced them with Ken Hughes, an insurance executive and former Tory MP who will serve as interim chairman with six other board members on the Alberta Health Services Board. Its temporary CEO is Charlotte Robb, former head of an Edmonton-based medical-lab company.
The new superboard will eventually become a permanent 15-member board, Liepert said. Its mandate includes determining whether it can find any administrative cost savings that can be directed into treatment.
Capital Health CEO Sheila Weatherill said she hopes to stick around in a slightly modified role and is not expecting any job losses as a result of the changes.
She has reassured her staff that their positions are safe. In fact, she said top priority is bringing new staff into the system to improve access to care.
Capital Health spends more than $67 million a year on administration, or 2.5. per cent of its total costs, the lowest rate in the province.
Weatherill called the move a good one to standardize best practices across the province.
"The changes with the new provincial board is a governance change and our job here is to deliver health services in the way that they think is most appropriate to create this Alberta-wide system," she said.
The new "superboard," which some regional leaders have warned against, will oversee more than 70,000 health-care and support workers.
Marv Moore, the chairman of Peace Country Health before the shakeup, slammed a move he argued would drown out small-town concerns.
"I'm amazed. The first premier to come from rural Alberta in 35 years, and the first thing he does is terminate all the health-care regions and run it all out of Edmonton," Moore said Thursday. "That's not good for health care up in the Peace Country, that's for sure."
To dampen those concerns, Liepert and Premier Ed Stelmach promised a bigger role for community health councils as local advocates, and said MLAs will take more regional concerns to the big new board.
"The board will have a responsibility to all Albertans," Hughes said. "This will allow us to take the successes in health-care delivery and deploy it across the province."
Liepert signalled last month his plans also include a new system to buy pharmaceuticals, co-ordinate specialty services with neighbouring British Columbia and Saskatchewan and make health-care delivery more "efficient and effective."
He said the new board will make it easier to expand projects such as the simplified programming of bone and joint replacement program, which was proven to drastically cut wait times.
A move to this level of power centralization may be unprecedented in Canada, said John Church, a health policy expert at the University of Alberta.
"So you get rid of the governance boards, then you can basically issue your orders from the centre to the managers," he said. "And managers are far more vulnerable to pressure from the central government."
Leslie Roos, a University of Manitoba expert in public health, said the change should ease the flow of information across regions, but such a large, singular system could also create its own roadblocks and create difficulties in regional mini-experiments.
NDP MLA Rachel Notley said it's worrisome that Robb, the board's new CEO, worked for a for-profit health-services provider.
Liberal critic David Swann, a physician himself, said the government is rushing headlong into these changes without enough forethought.
"This government appears to be making another attempt to show that they're doing something -- because there are serious problems in the system -- without doing the careful analysis that probably should go into any serious diagnosis."
The Canadian Union of Public Employees, which represents health-care support workers, was critical of the change.
"This is absolutely the wrong direction for our province to be moving in," CUPE Alberta Division President D'Arcy Lanovaz said in a news release.
Lanovaz said the plan doesn't solve the system's two most pressing problems --wait times and access.
The Alberta Union of Provincial Employees said "the announcement has many labour relations implications that need to be clarified as quickly as possible."
The AUPE is currently in negotiations on behalf of about 27,000 health region employees.
Alberta Medical Association president Darryl LaBuick said anything that improves the efficiency and effectiveness of the system gets his support.
"We just want to make sure disruption to patient care is minimized."
