Abstract

827,513. Massage appliances. MURPHY, O. K. March 10, 1958, No. 7679/58. Class 81 (2). A massage cushion comprises an unbalanced electric motor connected to a core member enclosed between resilient pads. In one form the motor is unbalanced by means of weights 18 and is held by rubber bands 20 within a cylindrical shell 21 and, by means of straps passed around it, this is attached to a frame 51, 53 of metal strips. A sponge rubber pad 65 is placed on each side of this frame and the two are bonded together to form a complete cushion, which is further enclosed in a leather cover 66. Owing to the lateral flexibility of the frame, an elliptical motion is conveyed to the cushion when the device is in use. In one modified form the frame is replaced by thick, stiffened canvas while, in another, two vibrating assemblies are used in a large cushion intended for use as a mattress. The pads may enclose a heating element if desired and variable control members, for the motor and heater, may be attached to the motor assembly or be enclosed in a separate control unit.
