Abstract

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de massage qui réduit au minimum le nombre d'actionneurs de telle sorte qu'un angle d'assise peut être ajusté pour être à un certain angle souhaité par rapport à un angle facilitant l'assise et l'action de se lever d'un utilisateur jusqu'à un angle d'inclinaison. Le dispositif de massage selon la présente invention peut comprendre : un cadre de base placé sur le sol ; une unité de coulissement disposée sur le cadre de base de façon à coulisser dans les sens avant et arrière ; un cadre principal, qui est disposé sur l'unité de coulissement de façon à tourner autour d'un axe de charnière principal s'étendant dans le sens latéral du dispositif de massage, et supporte ainsi le corps de l'utilisateur ; des actionneurs de réglage d'angle pour faire coulisser l'unité de coulissement dans les sens avant et arrière par rapport au cadre de base ; et une unité de liaison pour incliner le cadre principal autour de l'axe de charnière principal par application d'une force externe au côté supérieur et/ou au côté inférieur du cadre principal selon que l'unité de coulissement se déplace dans les sens avant et arrière par rapport au cadre de base.
