Abstract

The device for warming feet comprises a foot support structure with an alterable and lockable triangular profile, and an attached electrical heating cushion incorporating a toe pocket.

Description

For warming cold feet elec. Heating pads generally with 50 watts of power and one associated two- or three-stage power switch or rubber hot water bottle, with hot Filled with water, known. Especially in the supine position a couch, in bed or the like. It turns out that in general only the heels of the foot be warmed can, hardly or not at all the cold toes. This explains why because both named heat sources flat and not diagonally upright as required, are placed on the couch against which you can rest your cold feet could. You can also do this the cold toes not fatigue-free be leaned on, because it should be borne in mind that the cold feet over a longer Time warmed up should be. Another evil is that the usual and known electr. Heating pad also no electr. Heating bag in one piece is attached in which you put your cold toe and at the same time mitaufwärmen could.

In order to counter these abuses, we hereby disclosed a new invention.

In the drawings, the subject of the invention shown in more detail. Show it:

8th Connecting joint including its knurled nut with left and right hand threads and associated fixed left and right hand thread screws.

The stand according to the invention for obliquely upright fastening, for example by means of buttons, push buttons (g) (g ') or the like. Mechanical aids of electr, heating pads (t) or rubber hot water bottles (u) for heating cold feet (v) mainly consists of two mutually sloping supporting lattice walls (b) (b ') with stable outer beams, (a) (a') in their upper area via flexible and flexible round arches (f) (f ') as well as at least three cross bars (a'') and at least two Vertical strips (b) (b ') are connected to one another and, furthermore, the stand in its lower region, each with an open bearing loop (c) (c') on the two outer supports (a) (a ') of the lattice walls (b) (b ') and with rotatably mounted rollers (e) (e') with stops (d) (d ') and with an associated connecting joint (h) arranged in the center of the triangle on the inside, including an associated large knurled nut (i) with left and right-hand thread ( i ') (i'') and their associated end fixed screws with left-hand and right-hand threads (k) (k ') for setting and holding the desired leaning angle in the form of a triangle for the purpose of heating cold feet (v). (Please refer 4 and 8th ) In order to prevent the stand from slipping away, for example on the bed or the floor, due to the pressing cold feet, both rollers (e) (e ') and their four bearing loops (c) (c') are at the bottom with one each thin rubber layer. Furthermore, the buttons (g) (g ') arranged frontally on the two outer supports (a) (a') are located on the fold (t ''), and thus below the heating pads or hot water bottles, so that there is no protruding obstacle to the leaning feet , (Please refer 3 ) The buttonholes (g '') on the left and right sides of the respective heating pad (t) or rubber hot water bottle (u) match the buttons (g) (g ') according to the invention on both outer supports (a) (a') of the grid walls (b) (b ') match so that both heat elements can be attached to them independently.

Furthermore, the electr. heating pad including elec. Toe pocket (t) (t ') one neck strap each (g '' ') with matching buttonholes arranged so the stand over both mesh walls (b) (b ') for two people to be able to saddle. By strong Raising and lowering the connecting joint (h) using the large knurled nut (i) that solved both grid walls (b) (b ') with their arranged in the lower area and rotating somewhat Rolls (e) (e ') correspondingly contracted or spread, such that another, one for the leaning cold feet cheaper foot angle can be inserted and determined after which the knurled nut (i) tightened again becomes.

The connecting joint (h) which is fixedly arranged on the inside and in the middle of both rollers Z (e) (e ') in the "triangle" thus formed consists of: a). The two roller supports (m) (m '), which are arranged centrally and at a distance from each other on a stator roller (e) (e') with limit stops (s) where b) has a fixed end on each of the ends of these two outer supports (m) (m ') Left and right hand thread screw (k) (k ') which c) fits to the left and right hand thread (i') (i '') of the knurled nut (i), and where d) the other two spaced-apart fixed The ends of roller supports (m ''') of the opposite grid wall (b') only have to have a wide leading through hole (p) (p ') at their ends, each of which has a screw (k) (k') when tightened or loosened of the knurled nut only. With a little manual rotation of the centrally located knurled nut (i), both the left-hand thread and the right-hand thread screw (k) (k ') pull in further at the same time the knurled nut (i) into it, whereby all four roller supports (m) (m ''') are tightened at the same time and with a slight rotation of the knurled nut in the opposite direction, the entire connecting joint (h) is loosened again, which means, for example, a different angle with regard to lying or sitting of the body with appropriate leaning of the feet on the stand.
