Abstract

A massaging board assembly about the size of a person'"'"'s torso containing a series of slots or holes to support two type of mounting brackets: one having an elongated form and the other having and L shape.

The brackets are assembled onto the board to frame a person'"'"'s back, neck and shoulders. These assembly parts have the property to hold one or more roller ball massager by means of their shape and magnetic nature for enabling a hands-free self massage by a multidirectional movement of the user'"'"'s own body.

The massaging board assembly is supported by means of stand legs. The board is molded and contoured by hollow square frames to allow the passage of the stand legs. The height of the board can be adjusted by a system of knobs.

Claims

1. A massaging board assembly, comprising means to support mounting brackets, said brackets having a particular shape to frame a person'"'"'s back, neck and upper part of the shoulders on a vertical or horizontal position, said brackets having means to hold one or more roller ball massager for enabling a hands-free self massage by a multidirectional movement of the person'"'"'s own body.

2. The massaging board assembly of claim 1 having two hollow vertical frames on the side and back of said board, and two horizontal frames on top and bottom of the back of said board wherein a pair of vertical stand legs can be inserted within said hollow vertical frames and fastened by a system of knobs or the like, said vertical stand legs connected by a transversal stand tube, whereby said board can be placed on a standing position against a background surface (E.g. wall or door) and properly adjusted to the height of the user.

3. The stand legs of claim 2 having feet to maintain proper balance of the said board in claim 1, said feet having a screw hole at the bottom, wherein a screw knob is inserted to adjust the inclination of the said board in claim 1, whereby said massaging board assembly can be leaning against a background surface (E.g. wall or door.)

4. The massaging board assembly of claim 1 wherein said hollow vertical and horizontal frames in claims 1 and 2 contain means to protect any background surface from scratches when the user leans over.

5. The massaging board assembly of claim 1 having a groove wherein said mounting brackets can be placed and slid from side to side by means of roller wheels attached to the back of said mounting brackets whereby a user can adjust the position of the roller ball massager for self-massaging.

6. The roller wheels of claim 5 further comprising a mounting frame fixedly fastened to position said mounting bracket for sliding side to side on said groove of said massaging board assembly in claim 1.

7. The massaging board assembly of claim 1 wherein one of said mounting brackets having an elongated form with a sliding track on the back surface, and two lateral folding frames wherein said roller ball massager is recessed, said mounting brackets containing means to grasp the roller ball massager while the massage is applied, whereby a user can manually slide the roller ball massager through said sliding track to a desired position for self-massaging.

8. The mounting bracket of claim 7 having a lock to hold said roller wheels in claim 5, said mounting bracket having screw key holes at the top and lock holes at the bottom, whereby a user have the alternative to attach said mounting bracket for example against a wall, column or door frame.

9. The mounting bracket of claim 7 having a screw knob hole at the top and a screw knob hole at the bottom wherein a screw knob is inserted to support and fasten said mounting bracket against said massaging board assembly in claim 1.

10. The mounting bracket of claim 7 having an open surface at the top and the bottom wherein said roller ball massager can be slid and removed from said mounting bracket, whereby a user can have the alternative to operate the massage manually.

11. The massaging board assembly of claim 1 wherein two of the said mounting brackets having an L shape with a flat surface, said L shape bracket having means to be attached into said massaging board assembly, whereby a user can remove and place said L shape brackets in different positions alongside said massaging board assembly to effectively massage neck, upper shoulders and side of torso.

12. The L shape bracket in claim 11 containing means to hold said roller ball massager in claim 1 to remain hanging outward or sideways whereas the massage is applied to the back or sides of the neck, or hanging downward whereas the massage is applied on top of the shoulders.

13. The L shape bracket in claim 11 having screw key holes at the top and lock holes at the bottom, whereby a user have the alternative to attach said mounting bracket for example against a wall, column or door frame.

14. The massaging board assembly of claim 1 having means to support a pair of handles, whereby a user can hold onto while applying the massage to obtain better stability of said board, said handles having means to pivot around an axle to position said handles upward or downward by the sides of said massaging board assembly.

15. The roller ball massager of claim 1 comprising a ball embedded in a ball holder, said ball holder having a ball support disc, said ball holder having a hollow surface wherein a magnet is embedded and fastened, all these elements adapted and improved to attach said roller ball massager steadily on said mounting brackets assembled on said massaging board assembly in claim 1 or on any steel metal surface (E.g. fridge, door, office cabinet, or corner protector), whereby a person can achieve a hands-free multidirectional movement of the body for self massaging.
