The left frame 26 has a top surface 34 and a bottom surface 36 as well. A first side beam 30A of the pair of side beams 30 of the left frame 26 is coupled to a first side beam 16A of the pair of side beams 16 of the right frame 12 by a pair of hinges 38. The pair of hinges 38 is configured for positioning the right frame 12 and the left frame 26 in an open position 40 and a closed position 42 relative to each other. The open position 40 is configured for the right frame 12 and the left frame 26 being coplanar to each other. The closed position 42 is configured for the left frame 26 and the right frame 12 abutting each other. The open position 40 is configured for the bottom surface 24 of the right frame 12 and the bottom surface 36 of the left frame 26 to rest upon a pair of seats 44 within a day cab 46. Furthermore, the closed position 42 is configured for being stored behind the pair of seats 44 within the day cab 46.
A pair of bases 48 is positioned upon a respective one of the top surface 22 of the right frame 12 and the top surface 34 of the left frame 26. Each of the bases 48 has a rectangular shape that covers the entire top surface 22 of the right frame 12 and entire top surface 34 of the left frame 26. Each of the bases 48 has a plurality of clips 50. Each of the clips 50 is configured for latching to a respective one of the pair of lateral beams 14 and the pair of side beams 16 of the right frame 12 and a respective one of the pair of lateral beams 28 and pair of side beams 30 of the left frame 26. The plurality of clips 50 of each of the bases 48 is configured for making the plurality of bases 48 removable from the right 12 and left 26 frames.
A plurality of heating coils 52 is positioned upon a respective one of each of the bases 48. Each of the heating coils 52 is configured for producing heat wherein reposing the user. A pair of mattresses 54 is positioned upon a respective one of each of the bases 48 with the plurality of heating coils 52 being position between the pair of mattresses 54 and the pair of bases 48. Each of the mattresses 54 is configured for being compressible wherein facilitating in reposing the user. The pair of mattresses 54 is configured for evenly distributing the heat from the plurality of heating coils 52.
A plurality of massaging units 56 is integrated within the pair of mattresses 54. Each of the massaging units 56 is configured for vibrating within a range of frequencies to soothe the body of the user. Each of the massaging units 56 is in electric communication with each other wherein the plurality of massaging units 56 operates in a synchronized system. A control panel 58 is in electric communication with the plurality of heating coils 52 and the plurality of massaging units 56. The control panel 58 has a display 60 for the user to see the status of operation of the plurality of heating coils 52 and the plurality of massaging units 56.
The control panel 58 has a heat actuator 62 and a massage actuator 64, wherein the heat 62 and massage 64 actuators each is a pair of buttons. The pair of buttons of the heat 62 and massage 64 actuators include an increase button 66 and a decrease button 68. The increase button 66 increases the amperage of the plurality of heating coils 52 and of the plurality of massaging units 56. Alternately, the decrease button 68 reduces the amperage.
