ABSTRACT:
A massaging chair according to the present invention provides an efficient and comfortable massage to a person sitting therein. The massaging chair preferably has a seat for supporting the lower torso of a user thereon and a back for supporting the back of a user thereon. The back includes a flexible front surface which is adapted to directly contact the back of the user. The massaging chair also has a massaging carriage mounted within the back of the chair, a transverse rod rotatably mounted to the carriage and so as to define a generally horizontal rod axis which extends generally parallel to the flexible front surface of the back of the chair, at least one roller assembly mounted to the rod and including a plurality of separate rollers which are mounted for free rotation about parallel axes which are radially spaced from and parallel to the rod axis. The rollers are positioned so as to sequentially contact the flexible front surface of the back upon rotation of the rod, and thereby massage the back of the user supported in the chair.
