MASSAGING APPARATUS

An electromechanical apparatus is disclosed herein such as a cushion, pad or mattress, including pulsing elements for massaging a variety of body locations having a plurality of vibrating transducers situated in groups within a cushioned member so that the groups of transducers operate in given locations or sections of the cushioned member to provide either an automatically or a manually controlled rolling or travelling vibratory motion across the member. A manually operated dwell of the vibratory motion is provided at selected locations. A handheld controller supplies the groups of transducers with electrical signals to produce an operating sequence of vibratory oscillations inindividual transducers as well as selected groups and the aforementioned rollingor travelling vibratory motion.
