Abstract:
A therapy device includes a chair, a helmet, and a number of programmable relaxing processes carried out on a passive user. The helmet is pivotally connected to the chair and can provide music and an eye massage. The device also applies an automatic back massage. These relaxing processes, to relieve fatigue in a user, can be started and finished automatically and run for any selected period.

Description:
1. TECHNICAL FIELD 
       [0001]    The disclosure generally relates to medicine and recreational equipment, and particularly, to a therapy device for relaxing people. 
       2. DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART 
       [0002]    Ordinary chairs provide support for people sitting down, but fail to provide more services to relax people when they sit on the chairs. Thus, ordinary chairs may not necessarily relieve fatigue. 
         [0003]    Therefore, it is desirable to provide a means which can overcome the above-mentioned problems.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
       [0007]    The disclosure is illustrated by way of example and not by way of limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings in which like references indicate similar elements. It should be noted that references to “an” or “one” embodiment in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such references can mean “at least one.” 
         [0008]    Referring to  FIGS. 1 and 2 , in one embodiment, a therapy device  2  includes a base  26 , a rotation regulator  25 , a chair  21 , and a number of different items of relaxing equipment  22 . The chair  21  is rotatably connected to the base  26 . The items of relaxing equipment  22  are set on the chair  21  to relax a user sitting on the chair  21 . 
         [0009]    The rotation regulator  25  is substantially a cylindrical post, and includes a first connecting end  250  and a second connecting end  252  opposite to the first connecting end  250 . The first connecting end  250  is connected to the base  26 . The second connecting end  252  is connected to the chair  21 . In this embodiment, the rotation regulator  25  is rotatably connected to the base  26  via the first connecting end  250 , and the chair  21  is driven to rotate about the base  26  by the rotation regulator  25 . In another embodiment, the first connecting end  250  is fixed to the base  26 , and the chair  21  is rotatably connected to the second connecting end  252 . 
         [0010]    The chair  21  includes a holding board  211 , a pair of armrests  213 , a backboard  215 , a connecting arm  35 , and a helmet  34 . The holding board  211  holds the user sitting on the chair  21 . The armrests  213  are mounted to opposite sides of the holding board  211 . The backboard  215  is rotatably connected to the holding board  211  to support the back of a user, and is located between and behind the armrests  213 . The helmet  34  is pivotally connected to an end of the backboard  215  far from the holding board  211  via the connecting arm  35 . Thus, a position of the helmet  34  can be adjusted relative to the backboard  215 . In this embodiment, the helmet  34  covers most of the head of the user. 
         [0011]    The items of relaxing equipment  22  are configured to automatically provide various relaxing services at the same time to a person sitting on the chair  21 . The items of relaxing equipment  22  may be, but are not limited to, a vibrator  221 , a back massager  222 , an eye massager  224 , and an audio player  226 . The vibrator  221  is set in the holding board  211  and includes a timer  2210 . The timer  2210  starts to time when the pressure applied on the holding board  211  is greater than a predetermined value. The vibrator  221  reminds the user on the holding board  211  of the passing of time by executing a vibration at predetermined time intervals. That is, the vibrator  221  is programmable to achieve the above-described functions and characteristics. 
         [0012]    The back massager  222  is set in the backboard  215  to massage the user on the holding board  211  according to certain predetermined situations. The predetermined situations may be, but are not limited to, the user touching or leaning against the backboard  215 . For example, when the user touches or leans against the backboard  215 , the back massager  222  starts to massage the user. The back massager  222  continues to operate even after the user passively remains in position leaning against the backboard  215 . The back massager  222  may also start to massage the user when the vibrator  221  transmits a start signal to the back massager  222  once in every predetermined time interval. That is, the back massager  222  is programmable to achieve the above-described functions and characteristics, and can be electrically connected to the vibrator  221 . 
         [0013]    The eye massager  224  and the audio player  226  are set on an inner surface of the helmet  34 . The eye massager  224  is located at a front side of the helmet  34 . The audio player  226  includes at least two loudspeakers  226   a,    226   b  set beside the eye massager  224 . The eye massager  224  massages the eyes of the user when the user&#39;s head is inserted into the helmet  34 . The audio player  226  plays music to relax the user when the eye massager  224  executes the massaging action. The helmet  34  includes a sensor  340  to detect whether the head of the user is inserted into the helmet  34 . The sensor  340  can for example be an optical sensor. The helmet  34  defines a number of through holes  342  therein to allow air to circulate and cool the user. The helmet  34  can be made of a transparent material, such as glass. The helmet  34  also can be made of a non-transparent material, such as metal or plastic. 
         [0014]    In use, the user sits on the holding board  211  and leans his back on the backboard  215 . The back massager  222  massages the back of the user when the user&#39;s back leans on the backboard  215 . The user puts his/her head into the helmet  34 . The eye massager  224  massages the eyes of the user and the audio player  226  plays music when the sensor  340  detects the presence of the head of the user in the helmet  34 . Therefore, the user can enjoy different relaxation services at the same time when he/she sits on the chair  21 . 
         [0015]    It is believed that the present embodiments and their advantages will be understood from the foregoing description, and it will be apparent that various changes may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure or sacrificing all of its material advantages, the examples hereinbefore described merely being preferred or exemplary embodiments.
