Massaging apparatus stored under a bed movable to position over the bed

摘要

A massaging apparatus (28) which is designed to be located within the space (26) under a bed (20). The massaging apparatus (28) includes a mounting arm (108) which can be moved from the space (26) under the bed (20) and pivoted to an upright position. When in the upright position an elongated arm (32) is connected to the mounting arm (108) and pivotable in a direction toward and away from the bed (20). The elongated arm (32) includes a massaging device (50) mounted on its outer end thereof. The massaging device (50) is to be capable of being separately driven in a reciprocating manner. The elongated arm (32) is to be appropriately counterbalanced (198) so that the massaging device (50) will apply a slight downward pressure onto the human (22) who is being massaged. The mounting arm (108) is to be moved over a preprogrammed path (48) which will also move the massaging device (50) in the same path on the body of the human (22).
