Abstract

1321403 Massaging apparatus M J RAFFEL 13 Jan 1972 1602/72 Heading A5R An article of furniture has a frame made of rigid elements to form a closed path for vibrations, two vibrators, driven by respective electric motors, being positioned at opposite points of the frame, there being a first control controlling the speed of both motors and a second control controlling the speed of one motor relative to the other so that the speed and direction of waves produced in the closed path by the vibrators can be controlled whereby a massaging action is produced. An embodiment in the form of a reclining chair having arms 51, a back frame 56 with springs 57, a seat frame 52 having springs 58 and a base frame 12'. The frame 52 is pivoted at 53 to the front ends of metal arms 54 the rear ends of which are pivoted at 55 to the frame 12'. A.C.-D.C. induction motors 13', 14' with eccentrically rotating weights are fixed to the frames 52 and 12' respectively. The motors may have multi-tapped field coils allowing the speed of both motors to be changed simultaneously by a tap-changing switch and the relative speed to be adjusted by a second tap-changing switch or a rheostat affecting one motor only. Alternatively the motors may have untapped field coils, both controls being rheostats.
