ABSTRACT:
A massage apparatus having a movable massaging assembly is disclosed herein. The apparatus comprises a front open boxlike base member molded from plastic to have a closed bottom and side walls extending forwardly from the lateral sides thereof. A front cover closing the front opening of the base member is cooperative therewith to define a space for receiving therein the massaging assembly. The plastic base member is provided at its lateral sides with racks each of which extends longitudinally of the base member to be in meshing engagement with each one of the pinions provided on the massaging assembly, such that the assembly is guided along the racks to move in the longitudinal direction of the base member by applying a massaging force through the front cover to the back of a user resting on the front cover. Thus, the base member itself can movably hold the massaging assembly without requiring an additional supporting frame while guarding or protecting the assembly by its closed bottom, enabling the lightweight construction of the apparatus.
