FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The present invention relates generally to the field of exercise equipment for personal use, and more particularly to methods and systems for mounting a massage gun for the purpose of single user usage.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] Consumers will frequently use a massage gun device to massage their back and body following workouts or for rehabilitation purposes.

[0004] However, such devices often require a secondary individual to position and hold the device for massaging purposes. While some back-massager devices are available with pre-affixed mounts, there are generally no available options for mounts that can hold a generic massage gun.

[0005] As such, considering the foregoing, it may be appreciated that there continues to be a need for novel and improved devices and methods for mounting a massage gun onto a mounting structure.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0006] The foregoing needs are met, to a great extent, by the present invention, wherein in aspects of this invention, enhancements are provided to the existing model of massage gun mounting systems.

[0007] In an aspect, a massage gun mounting system can include: a) a massage gun mounting device, which can include: a structure connector, which securely and detachably attaches the massage gun mounting device to a mounting structure and can be adjusted to a thickness of the mounting structure; and a massage gun holder, which is connected to the structure connector; and b) a massage gun device, which can include: a handle member; and a massage delivery member; and wherein the massage gun holder is configured to receive the handle member, such that the handle member is insertable into the massage gun holder, such that the massage gun holder is configured to hold the handle member securely, whereby the massage gun mounting device holds the massage gun device securely; whereby the massage gun device is stably and safely positionable in a convenient position on the mounting structure, such that the user is enabled to apply pressure to a body area of the user with the massage delivery member of the massage gun device.

[0008] In a related aspect, the structure connector can further include: a) a left clamp portion; and b) a right clamp portion, which is connected to the left clamp portion; wherein the structure connector can be configured to enable adjustment of a lateral gap between the left clamp portion and the right clamp portion, to match a thickness of the mounting structure.

[0009] In another related aspect, the massage gun holder can further include: a) a left holder portion, which is configured to hold a left side of the handle member of the massage gun device; and b) a right holder portion, which is configured to hold a right side of the handle member of the massage gun device; wherein the left holder portion is flexibly connected to the right holder portion along a vertical length of rear ends of the left holder portion and the right holder portion.

[00010] There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, certain embodiments of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof herein may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are, of course, additional embodiments of the invention that will be described below and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.

[00011] In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The invention is capable of embodiments in addition to those described and of being practiced and carried out in various ways. In addition, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein, as well as the abstract, are for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting.

[00012] As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conception upon which this disclosure is based may readily be utilized as a basis for the designing of other structures, methods and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the present invention. It is important, therefore, that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
