Patent Application
20230310263
Generally, the present invention relates to an inversion table with a dual massagers for a user's neck and back regions to provide relief and comfort.
Inversion tables are known for stretching the lower back and for providing temporary back pain relief. More generally, inversion therapy involves lying flat on your back at an angle or hanging upside down, in head-down position.
Current inversion tables do not provide a neck massager and back massager that have vibrating and heating features. These features can provide additional relief or comfort for a user, in addition to the other benefits of an inversion table.
Current inversion tables also do not provide a neck massager with adjustable supports to accommodate different neck sizes and shapes of various users. A user may find a neck massager to be more comfortable and more therapeutic if the user can adjust the curvature and width of the neck massager to fit the size of the specific user.
Current inversion tables also do not provide a vibrating neck massager with a heating function. A user may find additional benefits from heat therapy along with the use of the inversion table and the vibrating neck massager feature.
The present disclosures address at least some of the issues described above.
The following presents a simplified summary of the invention in order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the invention. This summary is not an exhaustive overview of the invention. It is not intended to identify key or critical elements of the invention or to delineate the scope of the invention. Its sole purpose is to present some concepts in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is discussed later.
The present invention provides for an inversion table that includes a neck massager and a back massager having a vibrating feature. In another embodiment, the neck massager or back massager may include a heating feature. A user may selectively turn the vibrating or heating features on or off and set the level of vibration and heat. In another embodiment, the neck massager may include adjustable neck supports to fit the unique shape of a user's neck.
The disclosed subject matter will hereafter be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals denote like elements, and:
While the disclosed subject matter is susceptible to various modifications and alternative forms, specific embodiments thereof have been shown by way of example in the drawings and are herein described in detail.

In another embodiment, the neck massager (2) may include a bendable piece (8) located within the neck massager (2) extending generally along the width of the neck massager (2). The bendable piece (8) may be made of metal of a sufficient thickness and shape that will allow the bendable piece (8) to retain its shape while also allowing a user to bend the neck massager (2) to provide a custom fit for the user's neck. Although not illustrated here, the bendable piece (8) may be rectangular in shape or ovular in shape. Although not illustrated here, the bendable piece (8) may be constructed of any material that will retain its shape while also allowing a user to bend the piece into various curves or shapes.
Although not illustrated here, the back massager may include a vibrating feature or heating feature.
The neck massager (2) and back massager (3) may be connected to a controller (not illustrated) either by a wired or wireless connection. The controller is used to turn the vibrating feature and heating feature on or off in the neck massager (2) and back massager (3). The controller may also be used to set the degree of vibration and heat in the neck massager (2) and back massager (3).
The particular embodiments disclosed above are illustrative only, as the disclosed subject matter may be modified and practiced in different but equivalent manners apparent to those skilled in the art having the benefit of the teachings herein. Furthermore, no limitations are intended to the details of construction or design herein shown, other than as described in the claims below. It is therefore evident that the particular embodiments disclosed above may be altered or modified and all such variations are considered within the scope and spirit of the disclosed subject matter. Accordingly, the protection sought herein is as set forth in the claims below.
