Apparatus for massaging a body

An apparatus for massaging a body lying in a prone position, comprising:

• a) a frame for resting on a floor;
• and
• b) a massaging assembly movably mounted to said frame 14 for massaging the body, wherein said frame comprises a base for resting on the floor and comprises foldable legs for easy storage and transport, wherein said frame further comprises a post that extends from said base and terminates in an upper terminal end, wherein said frame further comprises a transverse member that extends outwardly from said upper terminal end of said post, wherein said transverse member is U-shaped and has:
• A) a round lateral profile;
• B) a center disposed on said upper terminal end of said post;
• and
• C) a pair of legs that are length adjustable for reach from said post and which terminate in terminal ends, wherein said frame further comprises a track bar that is slender, elongated, hollow, extends equidistantly from said terminal ends of said pair of legs, in a same plane as that of said transverse member, and has:
• i) open ends;
• and
• ii) a lowermost surface, wherein said lowermost surface of said track bar has a throughslot that extends longitudinally therealong, from one open end to the other open end of said track bar, wherein said open ends of said track bar are closed by end caps, wherein said massaging assembly comprises a housing that depends movably from said track bar, wherein said housing comprises a first portion that fittingly communicates in and depends from said throughslot in said track bar, wherein said housing further comprises a second portion that depends from said first portion of said housing, wherein said second portion of said housing is rectangular-parallelepiped-shaped, and has:
• I) an open top that receivingly communicates with said first portion of said housing;
• and
• II) a closed bottom, wherein said closed bottom of said second portion of said housing has a throughslot that extends therealong, wherein said second portion of said housing further contains a subfloor that is disposed parallel to and slightly above said closed bottom of said second portion of said housing, wherein said massage assembly further comprises a massaging brush that depends from said second portion of said housing, wherein said massaging brush has a spine that rests on said closed bottom of said second portion of said housing, below said subfloor, and overlays said throughslot in said closed bottom of said second portion of said housing.

• and
• ii) a lowermost surface, wherein said lowermost surface of said track bar has a throughslot that extends longitudinally therealong, from one open end to the other open end of said track bar, wherein said open ends of said track bar are closed by end caps, wherein said massaging assembly comprises a housing that depends movably from said track bar, wherein said housing comprises a first portion that fittingly communicates in and depends from said throughslot in said track bar, wherein said housing further comprises a second portion that depends from said first portion of said housing, wherein said second portion of said housing is rectangular-parallelepiped-shaped, and has:
• I) an open top that receivingly communicates with said first portion of said housing;
• and
• II) a closed bottom, wherein said closed bottom of said second portion of said housing has a throughslot that extends therealong, wherein said second portion of said housing further contains a subfloor that is disposed parallel to and slightly above said closed bottom of said second portion of said housing, wherein said massage assembly further comprises a motor that is disposed on said subfloor in said second portion of said housing and has a drive shaft that extends therefrom, wherein said massaging assembly further comprises a limit switch that extends upwardly in said track bar and is affixed for movement with said massaging assembly, and when said massaging assembly traverses said track bar in one direction, said limit switch is activated by engagement with one end cap of said track bar, and when activated, reverses polarity of said motor causing said motor to rotate in reverse causing said massage assembly to traverse in an opposite direction until said limit switch is activated by engagement with the other end cap of said track bar, and when activated, reverses polarity of said motor causing said motor to rotate in reverse causing said massage assembly to traverse in said one direction, and back and forth.
