Headrest assembly with improved adjustability for a massage device

A headrest assembly for supporting a face of a user of a massage device, the headrest assembly comprising:

• a resilient assembly that supports the face of the user;
• a support frame that supports the resilient assembly, the support frame including an ear region and a forehead region;
• a support arm assembly that is secured to the massage device;
• and
• an adjuster assembly that can be used to adjust the position of the resilient assembly relative to the support arm assembly, the adjuster assembly including a first adjuster subassembly having a first linkage that is coupled to the support frame near the ear region, a second linkage that is coupled to the support frame near the forehead region, and an adjuster beam that is coupled to the second linkage;
• wherein the first linkage is connected to the support arm assembly and pivots relative to an axis and the adjuster beam is connected to the support arm assembly and pivots relative to the axis.

• wherein the first adjuster subassembly includes an adjuster beam that extends away from the support arm assembly, and wherein the second linkage that extends between the adjuster beam and the support frame and wherein (i) the first linkage is pivotably connected to the support arm assembly and the support frame, (ii) the adjuster beam is pivotably connected to the support arm assembly, and (iii) the second linkage is pivotably connected to the adjuster beam and the support frame.

A method for supporting a face of a user of a massage device, the method comprising the steps of:

• supporting the face of the user with a resilient assembly;
• supporting the resilient assembly with a support frame;
• securing a support arm assembly to the massage device;
• and
• adjusting the position of the resilient assembly relative to the support arm assembly with an adjuster assembly, the adjuster assembly including a first adjuster subassembly that forms a first, four bar type linkage assembly, wherein the support frame forms a portion of the first, four bar type linkage assembly, the first adjuster subassembly including (i) a first linkage that extends between and is pivotably connected to the support arm assembly and the support frame, (ii) an adjuster beam that extends away from and is pivotably connected to the support arm assembly, and (iii) a second linkage that extends between and is pivotably connected to the adjuster beam and the support frame.
