ABSTRACT:
A device to physically massage a person, the subject lying in a horizontal position and the massaging device positioned over the subject. The massager is comprised of an outer cage in the form of a rectangular cubed structure and an inner carriage in the form of a square frame which is positioned within the cage. The inner carriage, fitted with and mounted on bearings, traverses horizontally toward and away from patient, on guiding tracks, tracks being rigidly mounted in outer cage, this movement being provided by a motor driven crank. The above mentioned carriage assembly houses 4 horizontally-mounted elongated arms, which are rectangular in form, extending out beyond the cage's perimeter and which are raised vertically by a motor driven crankshaft, then dropped by gravity on patient. A spring-assisted adjustable device is incorporated to effect the intensity of the arm drop weight on a patient. The above described massaging apparatus is mounted on an upright cylindrical pipe structure to facilitate its movement in a horizontal oscillating motion by a motor-mounted crank arm.
