## Background
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention generally relates to a massaging apparatus and more particularly, relates to a vibrating head massager that can be mounted on top of a chair.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In modern society, the daily grind from a stressful job frequently causes a person to suffer stress related headaches and anxiety.
When such stress related headaches occurs, an effective remedy is a head massage by using a vibrating massager. However, it is difficult for a person who is suffering stress headaches to operate a head massager on his own head. Such massaging operation must be carried out by a second person by holding a head massager against the head of the person receiving the massage. It is therefore very inconvenient when a person is alone by himself and suffering a stress headache without the recourse of any remedy.
It is therefore desirable to provide a head massager that a person can operate on himself without the help of another person.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a head massager that does not have the drawbacks or shortcomings of the conventional head massagers.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a head massager that a person can operate on himself without the help of another person.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a vibrating head massager that can be readily mounted to the top of a chair.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a vibrating head massager wherein the massaging attachment is interchangeable.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with the present invention, a vibrating head massager is provided.
In a preferred embodiment, the present invention vibrating head massager can be constructed by a first support member that has two members rotatably connected together, a first end and a second end, the first end connected to a clip and the second end pivotally connected to a second support member by a hinge; the second support member is extendable in length and supporting a massager by its free end; and a massager including a battery compartment and a plurality of massaging prongs extending away from the massager for engaging a user's head.

Referring initially to FIG. 1, wherein a side view of the present invention vibrating head massager 10 operated on a person's head (in ghost lines) is shown. The vibrating head massager 10 is constructed by a first support member 20 formed by two members 22,24 rotatably connected together by a swivel 26 (shown in FIG. 3). The first support member 20 further having a first end 28 and a second end 32 wherein the first end 28 is connected to an adjustable clip 30 wherein an opening inside the clip 30 can be suitably adjusted to fit chair tops of different thicknesses. This is shown in FIG. 1, wherein the clip 30 is clamped onto chair top, or couch top 34. The second end 32 is pivotally connected to a second support member 40 by a pivoting hinge 42.
The second support member 40 is extendable in length, i.e. functions in a telescoping manner, as shown in FIG. 3. The second support member 40 supports a massager at its free end 44 and may be extended by a minimum of two inches.
The massager 50 is constructed of an outer housing 52 including a battery compartment 54 concealed by a compartment door 56. The massager may be operated by a battery or by a rechargeable battery. The massager 50 further includes a plurality of massaging prongs 60 that extends away from the massager 50 for engaging a user's head 70, a shown in FIG. 1. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the present invention vibrating head massager 10 constructed mainly by the first support member 20, the second support member 40, and the massager 50. The outer prongs 60 of the plurality of massaging prongs having a larger length than the inner prongs in order to fit the contour of the user's head 70, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
