Description

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

Thai massage has thousands of years long history, and Shiatsu massage was invented in 1920s. Both of them are operated on massage cushions. However, massage clients are not comfortable when in aprone position, because there is no breathing hole on the massage cushion. They have to twist their necks and often get neck sprains. So, it is necessary to design a new massage cushion with a breathing hole.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF INVENTION

This invention is to create a new massage cushion with a one side breathing hole, which can be used for Thai massage, Shiatsu massage and Ashiatsu massage, and also still can be used in Gym exercise.

An example of this invention is to use semi-solid Foam board as the filler(6, 7,8) of the massage cushion(10), such as a EPE foam board, because semi-solid foam board can be easier to be processed with mechanical tools. We design to cut a 4-inch round breathing hole (4) on the first filler (6) supporting the clients' upper body, and this 4-inch round hole is just a half deep round pit, instead of a through-hole. And also we correspondently open a 4-inch round hole on the first fabric case at the same location as the round pit on the filler(6). Next, from the upper side of filler (6), we open a 2-inch wide ditch (5) to connect the round pit (4), so that it becomes a horizontal air channel. At the top side of the fabric case (1), we assemble 2 or 3 stainless steel eyeholes (9) at the front of air channel outlets (5).

This kind of massage cushion only has breathing hole on one side of the massage cushion, so it not only can be used for Thai massage, Shiatsu massage, Ashiatsu massage, but the other side of the cushion can be used for gym exercise, or Yoga practice.
