Abstract

A portable massaging leg rest comprises a generally polygonal body of resilient foam having a top face and a front face sloping away from the top face with a sharp angle between the top and sloping faces. The upper portion of the body is formed of a cushioning resilient foam which is softer than foam in the lower portion of the body. An eccentric motor is mounted on a rigid plate within the body for causing massaging motion in at least the top poriton of the body. A channel extends through the body to the motor through which air can circulate for cooling the motor.
