Abstract
Massage equipment is provided herein. It includes a rigid frame, and at least one massage roll carried by the frame and which is freely rotatable about an axis which is fixed relative to the frame. Apparatus is provided for assisting a user, when supported against that roll, to move across that roll while applying pressure to that roll to cause roll rotation and to provide massaging action.
Claims24
Massage equipment comprising:
- a rigid longitudinally-extending, spine-like frame;
- at least two massage rolls carried by said frame, each of said rolls being freely-rotatable about an axle which is fixed perpendicularly relative to the longitudinal axis of said rigid frame;
- extendable means which are mounted on said rigid frame, said extendable means being extendable to move relative to said longitudinal axis of said rigid frame to project beyond a forward end of said frame;
- and
- supporting means which are mounted on said extendable means for supporting shoulders, neck and head of a user, said supporting means being operated by an appendage of a user, whereby a user, when supported against said rolls, operates said supporting means to exert relative longitudinal motion between a torso of a user and said rolls, thereby simultaneously applying pressure to said rolls to cause rotation of said rolls, to provide massaging action to a torso of a user, and to cause movement of the supporting means relative to the rigid frame.
