ABSTRACT:
A chair-type air massage device which is capable of providing air massage to a user's legs in comfortable positions such as a reclined position or a sitting position. The air massage device includes a backrest pivotally joined with a seat. A footrest is joined to the front end of the seat and can be moved between a forwardly-projecting or extended position and a retracted position. A number of air bags for providing a leg massage are disposed on the footrest. When the footrest is in the extended position, a user's legs may be oriented approximately horizontally and compressed air may be supplied and exhausted to and from the air bags so as to cause the air bags to expand and contract and thus massage the user's legs in a reclined position. Likewise, when the footrest is in the retracted position, a user's legs may be oriented approximately vertically and compressed air may be supplied and exhausted to and from the air bags so as to cause the air bags to expand and contract and thus massage the user's legs in a sitting position.
