Abstract

A suit-type cosmetic air massage device for providing air pressuring massage upon a human whole body. To provide air pressuring massage, suit-shaped parts are made to cover a human whole body, and can be separated into an upper suit-shaped part and a lower suit-shaped part. And plural air bags are symmetrically installed within the left and right side from the position corresponding to the hand region to the position corresponding to the shoulder regions of the upper suit-shaped part, and from the position corresponding to the feet parts to the waist part of the lower suit-shaped part. These air bags are divided into the first, second, third and fourth group, and each air bag in each group can be supplied with air simultaneously or independently in order from connecting with the intake/exhaust instrument by an intaking/exhausting hose.

Claims

1. A suit-type cosmetic air massage device comprising:

upper and lower suit-shaped parts respectively receiving upper and lower parts of a person therein;

a plurality of inflatable/deflatable air bags installed within each of the upper and lower suit-shaped parts;

a plurality of air intake/exhaust hoses, each of said plurality of hoses being connected to at least one of said plurality of air bags, each said hose having a first part extending on said upper suit-shaped part, a second part extending through said lower suit-shaped part, and a third part extending from said lower suit-shaped part;

an intake/exhaust instrument connected to said third part of said hoses for supplying air to said plurality of the air bags; and

a remote control instrument positioned in a hand receiving region of said upper suit-shaped part, said remote control instrument having means for operating said intake/exhaust instrument so as to start/pause/restart said intake/exhaust instrument.

2. The suit-type cosmetic air massage device according to claim 1, wherein each said hose is connected to one said air bag in said lower suit-shaped part and to one said air bag in said upper suit-shaped part, whereby both said air bags connected to each said hose simultaneously inflate with air supplied by said intake/exhaust instrument.

3. The suit-type cosmetic air massage device according to claim 2, further comprising:

said plurality of air bags being divided into several groups, and means for simultaneously inflating said air bags in one of said groups.

4. The suit-type cosmetic air massage device according to claim 3, further comprising:

each said group of said air bags having at least one said air bag on a left side of said upper and lower suit-shaped parts and at least one said air bag on a right side of said upper and lower suit-shaped parts, and means for simultaneously inflating said left air bag and right air bag in one said group.

5. The suit-type cosmetic air massage device according to claim 4, further comprising:

a control means disposed on said intake/exhaust instrument for repeatedly sequentially inflating and exhausting said air bags in said upper and lower suit-shaped parts.

6. The suit-type cosmetic air massage device according to claim 5, wherein said control means has means for maintaining said air bags in an inflated state, and means for simultaneously exhausting all air bags at a time after all of air bags have been inflated.

7. The suit-type cosmetic air massage device according to claim 4, wherein a control means is disposed on said intake/exhaust instrument for simultaneously inflating all of air bags and simultaneously deflating all of the inflated air bags after a set period of time has passed.

8. The suit-type cosmetic air massage device according to claim 5, wherein said control means has an auto-timer means for operating said intake/exhaust instrument to stop intaking/exhausting after a set period of time has passed from starting.

9. A suit-type cosmetic air massage device according to claim 1, further comprising:

first releasable connectors joining said first and second hose parts, and second releasable connectors joining said second and third hose parts.

10. The suit-type cosmetic air massage device according to claim 9, further comprising:

T-shape sockets installed in said second hose parts, said T-shape sockets providing a through flow path in each said hose and respectively providing a supply path from each said hose to one said air bag on said lower suit part.

11. The suit-type cosmetic air massage device according to claim 10, wherein each said hose is connected to one said air bag in said lower suit-shaped part and to one said air bag in said upper suit-shaped part, whereby both said air bags connected to each said hose simultaneously inflate with air supplied by said intake/exhaust instrument.

12. A suit-type air massage device, comprising

an upper suit part for receiving an upper body portion of a user therein,

a lower suit part for receiving a lower body portion of a user therein,

a first plurality of air bags positioned in said upper suit part for massaging the upper body portion,

a second plurality of air bags positioned in said lower suit part for massaging the lower body portion,

a plurality of elongate first hoses positioned in said upper suit part, each said first hose having a first end connected to a respective one of said first air bags,

a plurality of elongate second hoses positioned in said lower suit part, each said second hose having third and fourth ends, said second plurality of said air bags being respectively connected to said second hoses intermediate said third and fourth ends thereof,

a plurality of elongate third hoses each having fifth and sixth ends,

a first connector part having second ends of said first hoses connected thereto and positioned at a junction between said upper and lower suit parts,

a second connector part having said third ends of said second hoses connected thereto, said second connector part being releasably connectable to said first connector part;

a third connector part having said fourth ends of said second hoses connected thereto and positioned at a foot end of said lower suit part remote from said upper suit part,

a fourth connector part having said fifth ends of said third hoses connected thereto, said fourth connector part being releasably connectable to said third connector part;

an air supply device connected to said sixth ends of said third hoses for supplying pressurized air to said first and second air bags; and

a remote control instrument positioned in a hand receiving region of said upper suit part, said remote control instrument having means for operating said air supply device so as to start/pause/restart said air supply device.
