DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 10 thereof, a new massage table device embodying the principles and concepts of the present invention and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.
As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 10, the massage table assembly 10 generally comprises a tabletop 12 that has a top side 14, a bottom side 16, a first end 18, a second end 20, a first lateral edge 22 and a second lateral edge 24. The tabletop 12 has a pair of breast openings 26 therein configured to receive breasts of a person lying face down on the tabletop 12. The openings 26 are circular shaped and have a diameter between 5 inches and 10 inches. The openings 26 extend into the top side 14 and outwardly through the bottom side 16 and are aligned with each other along a line oriented perpendicular to the first lateral edge 22. The openings 26 are positioned nearer to the first end 18 than the second end 20. The tabletop 12 has a break 28 therein between the first 18 and second 20 ends to allow the tabletop 12 to be folded. A plurality of legs 30 is attached to and extends downwardly from the bottom side 16.
A guide 32 is attached to the bottom side 16 of the tabletop 12 nearer to the first end 18 than the second end 20. A container 34 is removably positioned on the guide 32 and is aligned with the openings 26 when container is placed on the guide 32 to cover breasts extending through the tabletop 12.
A pair of inserts 36 is provided. Each of the inserts 36 is removably positioned in one of the openings 26 to form a flush surface over the openings 26 with respect to an area adjacent to the openings 26. The inserts 34 are used when the openings 26 are not required, such as for a man or if the woman is lying on her back.
A pair of donut shaped bladders 38 is also provided. Each of the bladders 38 is attached to and extends around a perimeter edge of one of the openings 26. An air pump 40 is fluidly coupled to each of the bladders 38. The air pump 40 injects air into the bladders 38 when the air pump 40 is turned on to decrease a diameter of the openings 26 and to provide cushioning of the openings 26. The bladders 40 may extend upwardly over a plane of the top side 14 when filled with air. An actuator 42 is electrically coupled to the air pump 40 to turn the air pump on or off. A power source, such as a battery 44, is electrically coupled to the air pump 40 to supply power to the air pump 40.
A head support 46 is attached to and extends away from the first end 18 of the tabletop 12. The head support 46 is U-shaped and includes a pair of arms 48 and a central member 50 that is attached to and extends between the arms. The arms 48 are attached to the first end 18 and are spaced from each other a distance greater than 7 inches to prevent a face of a person lying on the table from contacting the arms 48 when a forehead of the person is resting on the central member 50. The arms 48 are slidably mounted in the tabletop 12 to allow adjusting of a distance between the central member 50 and the first end 18. A cushioning member 52 is positioned on the central member.
A pair of arm supports 54 is attached to the tabletop 12. Each of the first 22 and second 24 lateral edges has one of the arm supports 54 attached thereto. The arm supports 54 are pivotally coupled to the tabletop 12 and pivotable laterally from a corresponding one of the first 22 and second 24 lateral edges. The arm supports 54 remain coplanar with the tabletop 12 as the arm supports 54 are pivoted with respect to the tabletop 12.
In use, the tabletop 12 is used in a conventional manner to provide massages, however, the openings 26 in the tabletop 12 provide more comfort for a woman since the breasts will not by laid on during the massage. The bladders 38 provide support and cushioning for the breasts.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present invention.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
