User-controllable adjustable massage bed
First Claim
1. A user-controllable adjustable massage bed, comprising:
- (a) a vibratory articulated bed including;
a bed base;
back, seat, thigh and foot support plates articulated relative to one another and supported by said base, said support plates being adapted for supporting a mattress;
a head motor for controllably lifting said back support plate and thereby a head section of the mattress when supported;
a foot motor for controllably lifting said thigh support plate and thereby a thigh section of the mattress; and
a vibratory massage motor for vibrating at least one of said support plates and thereby a corresponding section of the mattress; and
(b) a remote-control handheld unit including;
a first user-activated mechanism for controlling the operation of at least one of said foot and head motors; and
a second user-activated mechanism for shifting an on-off cycling rhythm of said massage motor between first and second different rhythms with said massage motor running.

Abstract
In an articulated bed having a motor for raising and lowering the bed, a control circuit operated by the user has first user memory for storing a first user variable indicating a user-selected first preferred bed position and a recall button by which the user can command that a handler routine in the control circuit return the bed to the first preferred bed position indicated by the first user variable. Further, the control circuit can have a tracking memory for frequently storing a tracking variable indicating the current position of the bed and a "store" or "program" button or control by which the user can command that the first user variable be set to equal the current tracking variable. Thus, any time the bed is a position preferred by the user, the user can push the store button to store a user variable indicating the preferred bed position in the controller'"'"'s memory; then afterwards the user can have the bed return to that preferred position by pressing the recall button.
