Abstract

A massaging cushion device used in a car, which included a hollowed frame of suitable size. The frame is connected onto a seat in a car. On both lateral sides of the frame there are two massaging devices movably connected therewith. The ends of the massaging devices extend into the lateral sides respectively for pivotal connecting therewith. A plurality of driving structures are provided on one side of each of the massaging devices. The massaging devices are capable of being spread out about the pivot, and are capable of folding for storage in the hollowed interior of the frame.

Claims

1. A massaging cushion device used in a car comprising:

a hollowed frame which connects to the top of a seat in the car;

at least two massaging devices pivotably connected on the lateral sides of said frame, with the ends of each of said massaging devices extending into corresponding lateral sides respectively for pivotal connection;

a plurality of driving structures being provided on said massaging devices, said driving structures including circuitry activated by pressure, said circuitry triggering a vibration when activated;

said massaging devices being spread out about a pivot center for said pivotal connection when in use, and are folded into said hollowed frame when not in use;

said massaging devices each include a middle section, and upper and lower massaging pads provided respectively above and below said middle section, and an end of said middle section being pivotably connected with said hollowed frame;

said middle sections each include a hole on a top surface thereof for loading in sequence a spring and a steel ball;

said upper massaging pads each having an axle extended into said hole, and having a plurality of arched notches on said upper massaging pad to receive said steel ball to adjust the angular position of said upper massaging pad.

2. A massaging cushion device used in a car comprising:

hollowed frame which connects to the top of a seat in the car;

at least two massaging devices pivotably connected on the lateral sides of said frame, with the ends of each of said massaging devices extending into corresponding lateral sides respectively for pivotal connection;

a plurality of driving structures being provided on said massaging devices, said driving structures including circuitry activated by pressure, said circuitry triggering a vibration when activated;

said massaging devices being spread out about a pivot center for said pivotal connection when in use, and are folded into said hollowed frame when not in use;

said massaging devices each include a middle section, and upper and lower massaging pads provided respectively above and below said middle section, and an end of said middle section being pivotably connected with said hollowed frame;

said lower massaging pad has a post extending upward to connect with an inner pipe provided in said middle section, a hole being provided on a top end of said post with a spring and a steel ball loaded in said hole, said inner pipe having a plurality of punched holes to receive said steel ball to achieve the height adjustment of said frame.
