Abstract
The device is intended to make massages of the left side of the user's back independently from the right side of the user's back, with the added possibility of regulating the intensity of such massage also independently in the modes of kneading, tapping vertical displacement. It has four independent motors (1, 3, 10 and 12) governed by a control unit (18) and which transmit the rotation to respective excentric (2, 4, 11 and 14) or centered (22) axes which are connected to conventional massage applicating elements (5 and 14). Said axes (2, 4, 11 and 14) or (22) include sensors (17) which inform on the angular position. The device is also provided with two motors (9 and 16) for the vertical displacement which are also connected to the control unit (18).

MASSAGE DEVICE FOR A REST ARMCHAIR, including means for applying kneading and tapping massage to a user's back, characterised in that the device includes:
- a left-hand kneading motor arranged to transmit rotation to a first shaft;
- a right-hand kneading motor arranged to transmit rotation to a second shaft;
- a left-hand tapping motor arranged to transmit rotation to a third shaft;
- a right-hand tapping motor arranged to transmit rotation to fourth shaft;
- wherein
- the first shaft and the third shaft are connected to a massage application element for the left-hand side of the user's back, whereas the second shaft and the fourth shaft are coupled to a massage application element for the right-hand side of the user's back;
- and wherein the motors are mutually independent, providing for:
- independence between the massage applied to the left-hand side of the user's back and the massage applied to the right-hand side of the user's back, for kneading as well as for tapping, allowing for regulation of the intensity or speed on each side in an independent manner;
- possibility of choosing between synchronisation or unsynchronisation between the massages applied to the left-hand and the right-hand side of the user's back;
- possibility of variation in the direction of the kneading massage on he left-hand side of the user's back and variation in the direction of the kneading massage on the right-hand side of the user's back, in a mutually independent manner.
