Abstract

The foot cushion includes a lower friction-increasing surface for placing on the floor of an aircraft, and a slightly inclined upper surface (11) for receiving the passenger's feet. A battery-driven vibrator is provided in the cushion. The body of the cushion is made of foldable or rollable foam material; inflatable or self-inflatable material; or gel-like material. Strong vibrations are imparted into hollows for receiving the feet, at frequencies between 25 and 35 Hz.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Fußkissen, aufweisend eine untere reibungserhöhende Fläche zur Auflage auf die Bodenfläche eines Flugzeuges und eine obere leicht geneigte Fläche für das Aufsetzen der Füße eines Passagiers und ferner aufweisend einen batteriegetriebenen Vibrator, um das Fußkissen in Vibration zu setzen.The The invention relates to a foot cushion having a lower one friction Area to Overlay on the floor surface an aircraft and an upper slightly inclined surface for placement the feet of one Passengers and also having a battery powered vibrator, around the foot cushion to vibrate.

Vibrationskissen der eingangs genannten Art sind bekannt, sie werden i m Wesentlichen zur Entspannung eingesetzt und haben, wie bei Kissen üblich, eine im Wesentlichen unveränderbare Form, wenn man einmal von einer gewissen Nachgiebigkeit bei Belastung absieht. Es werden entweder Schaummaterialien eingesetzt oder Kissen verwendet, die im Inneren in einem Inlett prall mit Federn gefüllt sind.shaker of the type mentioned are known, they will i essential used for relaxation and have, as usual with pillows, one essentially unchangeable Form, once one of a certain yielding under load apart. Either foam materials or pillows are used used, which are filled inside in an inlett bulging with feathers.

Andererseits gibt es auch aufblasbare Kissen, die beispielsweise Flugpassagiere verwenden können, mit denen jedoch keine besonderen Einflüsse auf die Blutzirkulation in den Beinen erreicht werden kann.on the other hand There are also inflatable cushions, for example, air passengers can use with which, however, no special influences on the blood circulation can be reached in the legs.

Vibrationskissen sind bekannt, d.h. also Kissen, die neben dem eigentlichen Korpus auch mit einem Vibrationsgerät versehen sind, das beispielsweise vom Netz oder über Batterien versorgt wird. Hier ist die Massage der Zweck eines solchen Kissens.shaker are known, i. So pillows, in addition to the actual body also with a vibration device are provided, for example, from the mains or via batteries. Here the massage is the purpose of such a pillow.

Durch die vorliegende Erfindung soll ein Kissen geschaffen werden, das zur Thromboseprophylaxe eingesetzt werden kann, und zwar insbesondere in Flugzeugen, dort, wo Probleme bekannt geworden sind.By The present invention is a cushion to be created, the can be used for thrombosis prophylaxis, especially in Airplanes, where problems have become known.

Erreicht wird dies dadurch dass, der Korpus des Kissens

  • – aus zusammenlegbarem oder rollbarem Schaummaterial oder
  • – aus aufweitbarem oder sich selbst aufblasendem Material oder
  • – aus gelartigem Material

gebildet ist und die leicht geneigte Fläche mit Mulden für die Aufnahme der Füße des Passagiers in einem Bereich des Korpus, in dem die Schwingung besonders stark ausgeprägt ist, vorzugsweise mit einer Frequenz von 20 bis 40 Hz, vorzugsweise 25 bis 35 Hz, der vertikalen Amplitude.This is achieved by that, the body of the pillow
  • - of collapsible or rollable foam material or
  • - made of expandable or self-inflating material or
  • - made of gel material

is formed and the slightly inclined surface with wells for receiving the feet of the passenger in a region of the body in which the vibration is particularly pronounced, preferably with a frequency of 20 to 40 Hz, preferably 25 to 35 Hz, the vertical amplitude ,

Wesentlich für das Kissen gemäß der Erfindung ist die Tatsache, dass es sich hierbei um ein Kissen handelt, das im Wesentlichen zwei Gestalten annehmen kann. Es kann klein zerlegt noch neben dem Handgepäck transportiert werden und ohne weitere Schwierigkeiten in die eigentliche Form gebracht werden, nämlich in der es als Kissen dient. Die hierzu verwendeten Materialien sind oftenporige Kunststoffschäume, Anordnungen von Luftkissen in bestimmter geometrischer Form oder der Einsatz von Gelen in unterschiedlichen großen Taschen des Kissens.Essential for the Cushion according to the invention is the fact that this is a pillow that can essentially assume two forms. It can be broken down to small size still next to the hand luggage be transported and without further difficulties in the actual Be brought form, namely in which it serves as a cushion. The materials used for this purpose are oftenporous plastic foams, Arrangements of air cushions in a certain geometric shape or the use of gels in different sized pockets of the pillow.

Ein weiteres wesentliches Merkmal der Erfindung ist, dass das Kissen mit Mulden für die Füße ausgebildet ist und dass diese Mulden so gestaltet worden sind, dass ein dort aufgesetzter Fuß mit der maximalen Energie der Schwingung des Vibrationsgerätes beaufschlagt wird. Es kommen hier insbesondere die Regionen in Frage, an denen die Ballen der Füße aufruhen. Auf diese Art und Weise werden Muskelbewegungen angeregt und dem gefürchteten Economy-Class-Syndrom kann erfolgreich vorgebeugt werden.One Another essential feature of the invention is that the pillow with hollows for the feet are formed and that these hollows have been designed to be there attached foot with the maximum energy of the vibration of the vibration device applied becomes. In particular, the regions in question in which the bales of the feet are resting. In this way, muscle movements are stimulated and the dreaded economy class syndrome can be successfully prevented.

Bei den Frequenzen kommen grundsätzlich 20 bis 40 Hz und vorzugsweise 25 bis 35 Hz in Frage.at the frequencies are basically 20 to 40 Hz and preferably 25 to 35 Hz in question.

Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand der Zeichnung beispielsweise erläutert.The Invention will be explained below with reference to the drawing, for example.

Die einzige Figur der Zeichnung zeigt eine schaubildliche Ansicht eines Fußkissens gemäß der Erfindung.The only figure of the drawing shows a perspective view of a footpad according to the invention.

Das in der Figur gezeigte Fußkissen weist eine untere Fläche 10 auf, die in irgendeiner Form mit einer Oberfläche ausgestaltet ist, die die Reibung zum Fußboden erhöht. Dadurch kann erreicht werden, dass das Kissen in seiner Gebrauchsgestalt fest auf den Fußboden gelegt werden kann und dort verbleibt.The footpad shown in the figure has a lower surface 10 which in some way is designed with a surface that increases the friction to the floor. It can thereby be achieved that the cushion can be placed firmly in its shape on the floor and remains there.

Die obere Fläche 11 des Fußkissens 10 ist leicht geneigt und ist mit zwei Mulden 12 ausgestaltet, die etwa 10 mm in den Korpus des Kissens hineinragen.The upper surface 11 of the foot pillow 10 is slightly inclined and is with two hollows 12 configured, which protrude about 10 mm in the body of the pillow.

Nicht gezeigt in der Figur sind der Schwingungserzeuger, die elektrischen Batterien oder Akkumulatoren sowie diejenigen Teile, die die erzeugte Schwingung im Bereich des Bodens der Mulden 12 auf dort befindliche Füße übertragen.Not shown in the figure are the vibration generator, the electric batteries or accumulators and those parts which the vibration generated in the region of the bottom of the wells 12 transferred to there feet.
