So the firm's new chair, the HTT-800, uses only two massage discs supported by high precision, heavy-duty, sealed ball bearings. The discs are driven by a single, high-power dc motor which can rotate at various speeds in either direction. The two uniquely shaped disks rotate in a three-dimensional elliptical orbit to gives the chair its humanlike massage feel. The support structure of the HTT-800 uses rigid unibody construction and is formed, punched, and pressed from T5052 aluminum alloy. The chair can withstand more than 700 lb of pressure. A wedge-roller transport system guides the massage discs in a V-groove that eliminates the need for side-to-side guidance.
