1. Field of Invention
The invention relates to massage tables and more particularly to a massage table apparatus comprising a first hole for accommodating the face contour of a woman and a second hole for accommodating the breasts contour thereof when the woman is lying on the massage table on a face down position so as to bring a degree of comfort to the woman engaging in leisure activities including massage.
2. Description of Related Art
A conventional type of massage table is flat. One drawback has been found in it. In detail, there is no hole for accommodating the face contour of a person lying thereon. It is thus typical for the person to turn his (or her) head with the cheek lying on the table in order to comfortably lie thereon. However, this lying position is not comfortable especially if the person lying on the table engages in massage for a relatively long period of time.
Another conventional type of massage table having a hole for accommodating the face contour of a person is commercially available. It is advantageous since a person lying on the massage table may have his or her head disposed on the hole in a comfortable manner.
However, such type of massage table does not take the breasts of a woman into consideration. Hence, a woman lying on the massage table may still feel uncomfortable even her facing down face is supported by the edge of the hole because unfortunately the surface of the table uncomfortably compresses her breasts.
There have been numerous suggestions in prior patents for massage table. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 7,475,439 discloses a massage table with attachments designed for use by a couple in an intimate setting for the mutual satisfaction of both persons engaged in the massage. Thus, continuing improvements in the exploitation of massage table are constantly being sought.
It is therefore one object of the invention to provide a massage table apparatus comprising a first hole for accommodating the face contour of a woman and a second hole for accommodating the breasts contour thereof when the woman is lying on the massage table on a face down position so as to bring a degree of comfort to the woman engaging in leisure activities including massage.
The above and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description taken with the accompanying drawings.
Referring to
A folding cart 1 comprises a plurality of frame members 11 assembled as a three-dimensional structure having six parallelograms, four wheels 14 on four bottom corners of the three-dimensional structure respectively, a U-shaped member 12 pivotably mounted on both ends of a top rear one of the frame members 11, and a hinged two-piece padding 13. Either portion of the padding 13 is a rectangle in which one portion comprises a first hole 131 shaped in conformity to the face of a woman, and the other portion comprises a rectangular second hole 132 shaped in conformity to the breasts of the woman.
The cart 1 further comprises two mirrors 16 on two front vertical ones of the frame members 11 respectively, and two lights 17 on two top front corners of the three-dimensional structure respectively.
An assembly of the massage table of the first preferred embodiment of the invention will be described in detail below. The U-shaped member 12 is positioned to dispose horizontally (i.e., being flush with the top of the cart 1) by pivoting. Next, put one portion having the first hole 131 on the top of the cart 1 and the other portion having the second hole 132 on the U-shaped member 12 respectively. Next, move an elongated table 2 until a curved section of the other portion of the padding 13 is supported by a front portion of the table 2 (see
Thereafter, a woman 3 may lie on the massage table with her back 31 facing up, her face 32 downwardly contacting the edge of the first hole 131, and her breasts 33 downwardly contacting the edge of the second hole 132 (see
