[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] Bodyfriend announced on the 22nd that it has registered a patent for a thermal massage ball device with improved heat transfer efficiency and applied the technology for the first time to its massage chairs 'The Series (The Pharaoh·The Phantom)'.

The patent is based on the idea of applying a massage unit containing thermal balls to a massage device. A heating element is placed inside the thermal ball, and the internal component design that transfers heat generated from the heating element to the thermal ball is optimized to create the sensation of a warm hand massage.

The core of the patent is the internal design structure that increases the contact surface area with the thermal ball surface to efficiently transfer heat generated from the heating element to the surface of the thermal ball.

Bodyfriend applied the patent to its flagship models The Phantom and The Pharaoh. With thermal balls moving from the neck to the waist, the massage module and heating functions focused on the back and soles of the feet have become possible.

A Bodyfriend official said, "The idea to help relax the whole body with thermal massage during the cold winter, when people tend to curl up, has been applied to an actual product," adding, "We will continue to invest and develop massage chairs equipped with practical functions useful in daily life."
