  • the invention has for its object to provide a shower and bath device for massaging and / or cleaning the feet, which significantly facilitates foot care, in particular for older people, overweight people and partially disabled people.
  • the device according to the invention is designed as a channel which is open at the end and in which brushes, sponges, rubbing surfaces or similar massage and / or cleaning elements are arranged.
  • a preferred embodiment of the solution according to the invention consists in that the channel has side parts which run towards one another and form a gap which allows the foot to be moved back and forth within the channel. This configuration enables simultaneous cleaning or massage of both the bottom of the foot and the top of the foot.
  • the channel is preferably made of elastic material.
  • Another preferred embodiment of the solution according to the invention is characterized in that at the bottom 96/10383 PC17DE95 / 01370
  • Fastening elements are provided on both sides of the channel, which can be connected to a bath mat in a form-fitting and / or frictional manner.
  • the device according to the invention for non-slip fastening can in particular be combined with a bath mat.
  • a further advantageous embodiment consists in the channel having a channel system with inwardly directed nozzles for distributing water and / or cleaning agents and at least one hose connection connected to the channel system. This configuration enables a particularly intensive foot cleaning.
  • the channel is preferably provided with brushes, sponges, rubbing surfaces or similar massage and / or cleaning elements of different hardness and / or different material properties.
  • brushes, sponges, rubbing surfaces or similar massage and / or cleaning elements of different hardness and / or different material properties.
  • natural bristles for normal foot cleaning as well as harder plastic bristles for corneal removal can be arranged in the device according to the invention at the same time.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the solution according to the invention is that the channel system consists of at least two hydraulically insulated subsystems, each of which has at least one hose connection. This configuration enables the simultaneous, targeted supply of cold and warm water, so that an alternating shower effect which promotes blood circulation can be achieved. 96/10383 ⁇ PC17DE95 / 01370
  • the massage and / or cleaning elements consist of brushes that form rows of bristles that are V-shaped. This configuration enables optimal cleaning, especially of the toe spaces.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a schematically shown shower and bath device for massage and / or cleaning the feet.
  • FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of a bath mat shown schematically
  • FIG. 3 shows a plan view of a recess of the bath mat according to FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 4 shows a schematic top view of the function of the device according to FIGS. 1 and
  • FIG. 5 shows a cross section of a device according to the invention with an integrated channel system.
  • the shower and bath device 1 according to the invention is designed as a channel which is open at the end.
  • the channel bottom 2 is provided with side parts 8 which run towards one another and form a gap 9. 4
  • the device according to the invention is designed in such a way that the entire foot is cleaned and massaged by simply moving it back and forth.
  • the side parts 8 and / or the channel bottom 2 are preferably made of rubber, PVC or a similar elastic material. This configuration ensures in particular that the gap 9 can widen elastically with different ankle widths.
  • Fastening elements 4 in the form of knobs are formed on the underside of the channel.
  • the device 1 can thus both be inserted into the recesses 5 of a bath mat 6 ' and can also be attached separately to the floor of a shower or bathtub with suction cups 7.
  • the knobs 4 are inserted into the recesses 5 which are usually formed there.
  • massage and / or cleaning elements 3 are arranged over the entire surface both on the channel bottom 2 and on the inside of the side parts 8.
  • these can be brushes or sponges that have a different hardness and / or a different material quality. Brushes are preferably used on the channel bottom 2, which form rows of bristles that are V-shaped.
  • the device 1 can also have a duct system 11 with inwardly directed nozzles for distributing water and / or cleaning agents and a hose connection 12 connected to the duct system.
  • a soap dispenser can be connected, which can be operated with a simple pressure actuation delivers the desired amount of soap to the brush or cleaning system.
  • the duct system 11 can advantageously be divided into at least two hydraulically insulated subsystems, each subsystem having a separate hose connection.
  • a disinfectant can also be supplied via the channel system 11 provided with a hose connection 12, so that the device according to the invention is also particularly suitable for use in public bathing establishments.
  • the embodiment of the invention is not limited to the preferred exemplary embodiment specified above. Rather, a number of variants are conceivable which make use of the solution shown even in the case of a fundamentally different design.
