The
                invention 
                
                    - The
                        problem to be solved: 
 
                        The
                        usual massaging machines are generally
                        suitable for the massaging of physically
                        sound persons who are actively
                        participating in the massaging process.
                        The aim was to design a machine that
                        offers a self-massaging facility also for
                        the hardly moving persons.

                    - Definition:
                        
 
                        The invented machine is
                        an electric motor operated vertebral
                        column massaging device that enables the
                        self-massage and, it can also be used by
                        hardly moving persons.

                    - Presentation:
                        
 
                        The person to be massaged
                        lies down on the back at the table-like
                        surface of the machine mounted on a metal
                        frame-work, but not required to move
                        during the massage. At the middle of the
                        tabletop, covered by a plastic foam
                        layer, there is a longitudinal opening
                        through which a protruding,
                        longitudinally moving, elastic (rubber)
                        roller performs the massage of the
                        vertebral column. The tabletop moves very
                        slowly and vertically during the massage,
                        its movement is approximately 5 cm up and
                        down. This results in an always
                        unidirectional massaging motion of the
                        massaging roller and, meanwhile, a
                        variable pressing force is applied at the
                        vertebral column. The massaging machine
                        can be located in the room, it has the
                        same size as a bed.

                    - Application:
                        
 
                        It
                        can be used for physicotherapeutic and
                        conditioning massage, for the relaxation
                        of muscles.

                    - Advantages:
                        
 
                        It
                        can be used at home, when it is out of
                        operation it can serve as a bed, does not
                        require additional storage room. Not
                        required an extra operator to use it nor
                        special skill. It is environment
                        friendly, it does not pollute the
                        environment since uses electric drive.
