Wall-Mounted Massager with Motorized Lifting and Auto-Folding Armrest

The problem

Freestanding massage chairs occupy a large footprint, which limits placement options in small rooms, apartments, or commercial spaces where floor area is needed for other uses. Moving them for cleaning is difficult because of their weight. According to the patent, mounting the massage components on a wall bracket removes the base from the floor entirely. However, a wall-mounted unit still needs side supports for the user’s arms during a session, and leaving those armrests extended when the machine is parked at the top of the wall makes the stored profile bulky and prone to bumping. Manually folding them each time adds steps the user may skip.

The solution

According to the patent, this wall-mounted massager solves the storage problem by linking the armrest lock to the vertical travel of the lifting frame.

1. A wall-hanging bracket (10) is fixed to a wall and carries a vertical chute (13).
2. A lifting drive mechanism, consisting of a driving motor (21), a gear transmission assembly, and pulleys (22), moves a connecting frame up and down inside the chute.
3. The connecting frame has a first connecting frame (31) driven by the lift and a second connecting frame (32) pivoted to it by a driving motor (33) acting on a pivot shaft (34) to tilt the massage mechanism (40).
4. An armrest (50) is pivoted to the second connecting frame. A torsion spring (51) acts as a first resetting piece to hold it in the unfolded, parallel working state.
5. A plug piece (53) driven by a reset spring (52) passes through a first jack (321) on the frame and a second jack (501) on the armrest to lock it.
6. At the top of the bracket, an insertion bar (11) enters a relief hole (322) and presses a wedge surface (532) on the plug piece, pulling it out of the jacks. Continued upward movement lets an abutting part push the armrest closed against the torsion spring.

Who it is for

• Wellness equipment brands seeking a space-saving massage unit for urban retail catalogs.
• Amazon sellers and e-commerce operators looking for home relaxation products that mount on a load-bearing wall instead of taking up floor space.
• Day spas and massage studios that need an extra massage station in shared rooms without dedicating permanent floor space.
• Hotel and serviced-apartment buyers wanting to offer in-room massage amenities that tuck away when guests are not using them.

How it works

The main parts

Operating steps

1. Unfolding for use: When the frame lowers from storage, the insertion bar clears the plug piece. The reset spring pushes the plug piece through both jacks, locking the armrest open. The torsion spring assists in swinging it to the parallel position.
2. Adjusting height and angle: The control module receives signals from the position detection module. It runs the driving motor to place the frame at the desired height and operates the pivot motor to tilt the second connecting frame.
3. Folding for storage: The lifting motor raises the frame. Near the top, the insertion bar slides into the relief hole and contacts the wedge surface of the plug piece, converting vertical motion into horizontal withdrawal of the plug from the jacks.
4. Automatic stowage: With the lock released, the abutting part on the bracket presses against the armrest. The armrest pivots inward, compressing the torsion spring, until the frame parks flush against the wall.

Applications

Compact home gyms and apartments

Residents who lack room for a freestanding chair can mount this unit on a load-bearing wall. According to the patent, the automatic folding sequence means the armrest tucks away without manual effort after each session, keeping the walkway clear.

Day spas and massage studios

Studio owners can install the unit in rooms that also serve other services. The patent describes a position detection module, such as laser ranging, allowing the control module to locate the user precisely before starting the massage mechanism.

Hotel guest rooms and suites

Hospitality buyers can offer a premium amenity that does not clutter the room layout. Housekeeping staff simply raise the frame to the top position, where the mechanical trigger folds the armrest automatically.

Corporate wellness lounges

Offices setting up relaxation zones benefit from the reduced footprint. Multiple units can be placed along a single wall, each parking neatly when employees return to their desks.

Where it is less suitable

• Outdoor or wet environments - the electrical motors and exposed chute require dry, indoor installation.
• Walls unable to bear dynamic loads - the bracket must be anchored to structural framing capable of supporting the moving weight; hollow partitions without reinforcement are unsuitable.
• Users requiring full-body horizontal tables - this design provides seated or reclined back massage with armrests, not a flat table format.
