  • 2. Description of Related Art
  • Generally, back cushions with a built-in massage vibrator are placed by the users in automobile seats, home chairs, or office chairs. Such cushions offer a hand controller for the user to set and adjust the running time and running mode. Through the hand controller, the user can make the vibrator of the cushion rapping his/her back to alleviate tiredness and eliminate discomfort.

  • FIG. 3 shows a side sectional view of the embodiment in action.
  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • The features and the advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood upon a thoughtful deliberation of the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
  • Referring to FIGS. 1˜3, in a preferred embodiment of the adjustable flexible massage cushion of the present invention, an adjustor 3 with supporting strength and for adjusting height is configured between the back cushion 2 with a built-in massage component 21 and the soft cushion for neck and shoulders 1, to facilitate usage by users with different height, and meanwhile multiple rappers 11 are configured within the soft cushion for neck and shoulders 1 to rap the user's neck and shoulders, so that the user's neck and shoulders can also have alleviating massage.
  • The massage component 21 of the back cushion 2 is made up of rappers 211 212 of various styles. Such rappers 211 212 can rap the user's back to provide alleviating massage.
  • Within the back cushion 2, a groove 22 is configured to hold one part of the adjustor 3 for lifting and fixing.
