Opfindelsen angår en fodstøtte, ved hvilken en plade til at sætte fødderne på er indstillelig ved simpel ændring af føddernes tryk på pladen.The invention relates to a footrest in which a plate for putting the feet on is adjustable by simply changing the pressure of the feet on the plate.

Man opnår herved, at pladen ændrer vinkel i forhold til gulvfladen ved ændret fodstilling. Endvidere opnår man, at pladen skifter højde i forhold til gulv ved ændret fodstilling.In this way, the plate changes angle with respect to the floor surface by changing the foot position. Furthermore, it is achieved that the plate changes in height with respect to the floor when the foot is changed.

Fodstøtter har været kendt i mange år, og der er således også kendskab til fodstøtter, der kan justeres, f.eks. med skruefødder, til forskellige højder og vinkler. Det er ligeledes kendt, at der findes fodstøtter med plade, der ved ændring af føddernes stilling følger den ændrede vinkel ved drejning om en vandret aksel. Pladen kan dog ikke selv fastholde den ønskede vinkel og giver derfor ikke fødderne - og dermed henene - den rette hvile.Footrests have been known for many years, and so there is also knowledge of adjustable footrests, e.g. with screw feet, for different heights and angles. It is also known that there are footrests with plate which, when changing the position of the feet, follow the changed angle when turning about a horizontal shaft. However, the plate itself cannot maintain the desired angle and therefore does not give the feet - and thus the hands - the right rest.

Med fodstøtten ifølge opfindelsen opnår man, at trædepladen kan føres til en ønsket stilling ved simpel ændring af føddernes stilling og et fast tryk på pladen samt, at pladen derefter forbliver i den derved indstillede position, når fødderne hviler let på pladen, og også selvom fødderne fjernes fra pladen.The footrest according to the invention achieves that the tread plate can be moved to a desired position by simply changing the position of the feet and a fixed pressure on the plate and that the plate then remains in the position thus set when the feet rest lightly on the plate, and even if the feet is removed from the plate.

Opfindelsen forklares nærmere i det følgende med henvisning til tegningen, hvor figur 1 viser en fodstøtte ifølge opfindelsen.The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing, in which Figure 1 shows a footrest according to the invention.

Figur 2 viser samme fodstøtte som figur 1, men med trædepladen i en anden stilling.Figure 2 shows the same footrest as Figure 1, but with the tread in a different position.

Figur 3 viser en fodstøtte ifølge en anden udførelsesform for opfindelsen.Figure 3 shows a footrest according to another embodiment of the invention.

Pigur 4 viser en udførelsesform for den anordning, hvormed trædepladen hviler på fodstøttens trekantformede gavlstykker.Fig. 4 shows one embodiment of the device by which the tread plate rests on the triangular end pieces of the footrest.

En fodstøtte med de nævnte ønskede egenskaber opnås ifølge opfindelsen ved, at fodstøtten er udformet som angivet i krav 1.A footrest having the desired properties is obtained according to the invention in that the footrest is designed as claimed in claim 1.

Podstøtten er hensigtsmæssigt udført af en plade (2) med to riller (4), der hviler løst ned over et vinkelbukket stativ (3). Kår pladen (2) af fødderne udsættes for et fast fremad-eller tilbagegående tryk, vil pladen glide i rillerne (4) til en ny ønsket position i forhold til stativet (3). Figur 2 viser et eksempel på en sådan ny position. Ved denne udførelsesform for opfindelsen skal konstruktionsmaterialerne og dimensionerne for stativet og pladen vælges således, at friktionen mod bevægelse er tilstrækkelig til at fastholde pladen i den indstillede position, så længe den ikke udsættes for et kraftigt tryk.The pod support is conveniently made of a plate (2) with two grooves (4) resting loosely over an angled frame (3). If the plate (2) of the feet is subjected to a fixed forward or reciprocating pressure, the plate will slide in the grooves (4) to a new desired position relative to the frame (3). Figure 2 shows an example of such a new position. In this embodiment of the invention, the structural materials and dimensions of the frame and plate must be selected such that friction against movement is sufficient to retain the plate in the set position as long as it is not subjected to excessive pressure.

Ved en anden udførelsesform for opfindelsen ligger pladen ikke løst oven på stativet, men klemmer om dette med en kraft, der er så stor, at pladens position ikke ændres, når pladen kun udsættes for et let tryk, men dog ikke større, end at pladens positidn kan ændres ved et stærkt tryk på pladen.In another embodiment of the invention, the plate is not loosely mounted on the rack, but clamps on it with a force so large that the position of the plate is not changed when the plate is only subjected to a slight pressure, but not greater than that of the plate. positidn can be changed by a strong pressure on the plate.

Trædefladen på pladen (2) er hensigtsmæssigt udført med et mønster og af et materiale, der yder rimelig gnidningsmodstand over for skosåler.The tread surface of the plate (2) is suitably made of a pattern and of a material which provides reasonable rubbing resistance to shoe soles.

En anden udførelsesform for anordningen, hvormed trædepladen (2) kan bevæges hen over stativet (3), er vist på figur 3, hvor trædepladen (2) er monteret på et rør (5), der er bukket til rektangulær form, der er længere end pladen(2), hvorved der mellem denne og det bukkede rør (5) dannes to riller, der hvilerAnother embodiment of the device by which the pedal plate (2) can be moved across the frame (3) is shown in Fig. 3, where the pedal plate (2) is mounted on a tube (5) which is bent into rectangular shape which is longer than the plate (2), thereby forming two grooves resting between this and the bent tube (5)

Claims

148463 loosened over two triangular gables (3) 'connected to each other are on the floor. Alternatively, the tube structure (5) may be designed such that the grooves appear as a closed tube structure, e.g. as shown in detail in Figure 4. PATEMRAV:

1. Adjustable footrest characterized in that it comprises a stand (1) intended for standing on the floor and a pedestal (2) adjustable in relation to the stand, wherein the stand (1) on each side of the footrest has a vertical triangular piece (3) extending longitudinally of the feet with an angular tip pointing upwards, and the step plate (2) being provided with a device for moving at two edges over the triangular pieces (3) when the plate is subjected to a fixed pressure , and to remain in its position when not affected or subjected to light pressure only.

Footrest according to claim 1, characterized in that the device is formed by cuts (4) in the tread plate (2).

Footrest according to claim 1, characterized in that the device is constituted by a pipe structure (5).
