Abstract

A seat belt massager for detachably fastening on a seat belt, includes a massager body which has a message portion defining an inner treatment surface; a massaging device supported on the massage portion of the massager body and communicated with the treatment surface in such manner that the massaging device is adapted to deliver massage impulse to an exterior of the massager body through the treatment surface; and a seat belt fastening arrangement provided on the massager body for detachably fastening the massager body on the seat belt.

Claims

1. A seat belt massager for detachably fastening on a seat belt, comprising:

a massager body which has a message portion defining an inner treatment surface;

a massaging device supported on said massage portion of said massager body and communicated with said treatment surface in such manner that said massaging device is adapted to deliver massage impulse to an exterior of said massager body through said treatment surface; and

a seat belt fastening arrangement provided on said massager body for detachably fastening said massager body on said seat belt.

2. The seat belt massager, as recited in claim 1, wherein said massager body further has a receiving pocket formed on said massage portion, and defining an access opening which communicates said receiving pocket with an exterior of said massage body wherein said massaging device is disposed in said receiving pocket via said access opening.

3. The seat belt massager, as recited in claim 2, wherein said massager device comprises a massage generating unit comprising a driving motor and a massage actuator centrifugally mounted thereto in such a manner that said massage actuator is adapted to be driven to rotate centrifugally by said driving motor so as to generate a massage impulse towards said treatment surface which communicates with a user'"'"'s body.

4. The seat belt massager, as recited in claim 3, wherein said seat belt fastening arrangement comprises at least one seat belt fastener comprising first and second elongated fastening straps frontwardly extended from said massager body wherein two end portions of said fastening straps are adjustably and overlappedly communicating with each other to define a connecting loop within said two fastening straps and said massager body, such that said seat belt is adapted to slidably pass through said connecting loop so as to fasten with said massager body.

5. The seat belt massager, as recited in claim 4, wherein said seat belt fastener comprises means for adjustably and detachably connecting said two end portions of said two fastening straps in said overlappedly communicating manner for defining said respective connecting loop of said seat belt fastener.

6. The seat belt massager, as recited in claim 5, wherein said connecting means of said seat belt fastener comprises a loop fastener and a hoop fastener affixed on said two ends portions of said two fastening straps respectively, and are adapted to overlappedly, adjustably and detachably fasten with each other so as to define said connecting loop for said seat belt passing therethrough.

7. The seat belt massager, as recited in claim 5, wherein said massager device further comprises a power supply disposed in said receiving pocket and electrically connected with said massage generating unit of said massage device for providing electrical power thereto, wherein said power supply comprises a battery holder securely mounted in said receiving pocket for receiving at least one battery therein for providing said electrical power.

8. The seat belt massager, as recited in claim 6, wherein said massager device further comprises a power supply disposed in said receiving pocket and electrically connected with said massage generating unit of said massage device for providing electrical power thereto, wherein said power supply comprises a battery holder securely mounted in said receiving pocket for receiving at least one battery therein for providing said electrical power

9. The seat belt massager, as recited in claim 3, wherein said massager device further comprises a control switch electrically connected between said power supply and said message generating unit for switching said massage generating unit to operate at a predetermined level, and is arranged to be access by a user through said access opening

10. The seat belt massager, as recited in claim 7, wherein said massager device further comprises a control switch electrically connected between said power supply and said message generating unit for switching said massage generating unit to operate at a predetermined level, and is arranged to be access by a user through said access opening.

11. The seat belt massager, as recited in claim 8, wherein said massager device further comprises a control switch electrically connected between said power supply and said message generating unit for switching said massage generating unit to operate at a predetermined level, and is arranged to be access by a user through said access opening.

12. The seat belt massager, as recited in claim 9, wherein said massager body further comprises a flipping cover movably provided thereon for normally and overlappedly covering said receiving pocket so as to hide said massager device from being directly exposed to an exterior of said massager body.

13. The seat belt massager, as recited in claim 10, wherein said massager body further comprises a flipping cover movably provided thereon for normally and overlappedly covering said receiving pocket so as to hide said massager device from being directly exposed to an exterior of said massager body.

14. The seat belt massager, as recited in claim 11, wherein said massager body further comprises a flipping cover movably provided thereon for normally and overlappedly covering said receiving pocket so as to hide said massager device from being directly exposed to an exterior of said massager body.

15. The seat belt massager, as recited in claim 12, wherein said massager body further comprises a cushion layer which is made of pliable materials, attached on a rear side of said massager body for providing a cushioning effect thereof.

16. The seat belt massager, as recited in claim 13, wherein said massager body further comprises a cushion layer, which is made of pliable materials, attached on a rear side of said massager body for providing a cushioning effect thereof.

17. The seat belt massager, as recited in claim 14, wherein said massager body further comprises a cushion layer, which is made of pliable materials, attached on a rear side of said massager body for providing a cushioning effect thereof.

18. The seat belt massager, as recited in claim 15, wherein said massager body is fabricated by fabric materials which is sufficiently flexible for effectively transmitting said massaging impulse from said massage generating unit to said user via said treatment surface while maximizing a comfort of said seat belt massager to said user.

19. The seat belt massager, as recited in claim 16, wherein said massager body is fabricated by fabric materials which is sufficiently flexible for effectively transmitting said massaging impulse from said massage generating unit to said user via said treatment surface while maximizing a comfort of said seat belt massager to said user.

20. The seat belt massager, as recited in claim 17, wherein said massager body is fabricated by fabric materials which is sufficiently flexible for effectively transmitting said massaging impulse from said massage generating unit to said user via said treatment surface while maximizing a comfort of said seat belt massager to said user.
