Abstract
A reciprocating massage table includes a base frame, and a reciprocating frame slidably mounted on the base frame for horizontal sliding there over. A plurality of independent, articulating massage heads are resiliently mounted in spaced apart two dimensional array across the reciprocating frame so as to extend upwardly therefrom. A reciprocating actuator is coupled between the base frame and the reciprocating frame to cycle the reciprocating frame back and forth over the base frame. Each massage head may include a massage head actuator driving at least one orbitally reciprocating kneading head.
Claims20
A reciprocating massage table comprising:
- a base frame,
- a reciprocating frame slidably mounted on the base frame for horizontal sliding there over,
- a plurality of independent massage heads resiliently mounted in spaced apart two dimensional array across the reciprocating frame so as to extend upwardly therefrom, wherein the plurality of individual massage heads are each mounted on springs interleaved between the massage heads and the reciprocating frame,
- a sliding telescopically mounted guide post slidably mounted at a base end thereof to the reciprocating frame and pivotably mounted at an opposite upper end thereof to a corresponding massage head of the plurality of massage heads, for substantially vertical sliding of the guide post relative to the reciprocating frame wherein the spring is rigidly mounted at its upper and lower ends to the base of the massage head and the reciprocating frame respectively and wherein the guide post cooperates with a corresponding spring of the springs to stabilize the corresponding spring during resilient tilting, collapse, or extension of the spring,
- a reciprocating actuator coupled between the base frame and the reciprocating frame to cycle the reciprocating frame back and forth over the base frame,
- wherein each massage head of the plurality of independent massage heads includes a massage head actuator, the massage head actuator driving at least one orbitally reciprocating kneading head.
