Definitions

  • the invention relates to a training device for the feet, comprising two flexible, filled with a fluid chamber elements, wherein the chamber elements are interconnected by at least one fluid-permeable web.
  • the device serves to reciprocate a volume of fluid between the chamber elements with muscular force and to assist the flow of blood backflow from the leg veins through the course of the movement.
  • vascular diseases are widespread today and have many different causes.
  • One reason is a malfunctioning of the venous valves, which prevents a return of the venous blood against gravity.
  • One possible consequence of vascular disease is thrombosis of the deep leg veins, which in turn can lead to strokes, embolisms or heart attacks.
  • Another major risk factor for the formation of thrombosis is prolonged sitting, with the lack of movement and squeezing of the leg veins in a sitting position leading to congestion of the venous blood.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to enable a strengthening and movement of the leg muscles with a simple, space-saving and cost-effective means to address a broad user layer.
  • the tool is intended to support the smooth movement of the user and create a counter pressure, against which the user must spend a muscle power.
  • a training device has according to the invention a fillable with a fluid hollow body made of flexible plastic material with profiled surface, which has two individual chamber elements with treads for the left or right foot.
  • the chamber elements are connected by at least one fluid-permeable web, and the height of the chamber elements decreases in their longitudinal direction.
  • the user adjusts to those with a fluid, e.g. Air, filled device and performs by two-way weight transfer from one foot to the other a dynamic movement.
  • the fluid volume is pressed by the body weight of the user from the loaded chamber member via the web or webs in the other chamber, mainly by the preferred small cross-section of the connecting web creates a back pressure against which the user has to press with force. This results in a training effect for the leg muscles and, as a result, activation of the natural venous pump, as described above.
  • the chamber elements and the at least one web are formed integrally with each other, which can be advantageous in the production and provides a stable and tight connection under load.
  • the device has an axis of symmetry extending longitudinally between the chamber elements. This property is also advantageous for the production of the device.
  • the two chamber elements are by two parallel, spaced-apart webs connected to each other. With two connecting webs at a sufficient distance from each other, one obtains the advantage that the two chambers remain in the same position relative to each other even under load during use and do not strive to diverge at one end by the resulting pressure.
  • two webs in contrast to a single web, ensure that the pressure balance and thus the force effect is distributed more uniformly over the surface.
  • the surfaces on at least one side of the device are provided with a plurality of nubs.
  • the nubs prevent slipping of the user and provide an additional massage effect of the soles of the feet.
  • the nubs have a conical shape with rounded tips. This nubbly shape is easy to make and causes the mentioned massage effect, without being unpleasant.
  • the nubs are distributed uniformly over the surface.
  • the cross-sectional area of the at least one web is less than the cross-section of the adjacent chamber element.
  • the cross-sectional area of the web determines, in addition to the amount of fluid, the pressure resistance experienced by the user.
  • the at least one web is concave on both sides.
  • the contact surface of the web on the chambers is as large as possible and thus ensures a secure and stable connection between web and chamber element, while the small cross-section of the web causes a high fluid pressure at the narrowest point.
  • the device is provided with at least one valve for fluid filling of the chambers.
  • the valve may be specially designed for certain types of air pumps or other types of inflation, so that the user can easily regulate the amount of fluid or air himself.
  • the surfaces of the chambers are each provided with a recess which corresponds approximately to the size of a human foot.
  • This recess offers the advantage of improving the stability of the user and may also aim to give the user a recommended standing position.
  • the chamber elements are in addition to the at least one web additionally connected by a continuous, flat piece of material.
  • the piece of material ensures that the two chamber elements maintain their position relative to one another and do not strive to diverge.
  • the device is produced by rotational molding. This manufacturing process is inexpensive and well suited for this type of flexible and elastic plastic parts.
  • Fig. 1 is a view of an embodiment of the invention the hollow body device seen from above.
  • the device has two elongate chamber elements 2, 4 of approximately longitudinal oval design, which are connected to one another by two webs 10 and 12. Both the chamber elements and the webs are hollow.
  • the chamber elements serve as treads and can therefore be adapted in shape and size about the shape of a foot.
  • the webs 10, 12 have a double-concave shape, so that they connect with the largest possible edge surface of the chamber elements, but still have at its narrowest point a small cross section through which the fluid is pressed in the application.
  • Via a valve not visible here the device is filled with a fluid, preferably by pumping with air, but of course, depending on the embodiment, other fluids are conceivable, such as water.
  • the degree of filling of the hollow body is variable and can be freely selected by the user;
  • the chambers 2, 4 should be filled so far that a secure state is possible, i. that the footprint is preferably not arched outwards, and provide sufficient back pressure for the body weight of the user.
  • the force that is to be applied by the user during the training is also controlled via the filling, since with a larger volume of fluid, more air has to be forced through the web.
  • Each of the two chamber elements 2 and 4 has a cross-section, as shown by way of example in Figure 2.
  • the height of the chambers decreases in a longitudinal direction slightly, so that the surface 6 or 8, on which the user stands, slightly inclined is.
  • the forward sloping height of the device results in the user having a secure footing and avoids misalignments of the ankles or promotes natural posture during exercise since standing up, the main body weight load is usually in the rear foot area. In this way, the muscle power can be ideally transferred to the chamber surface.
  • an edge is formed by having the surface towards the center of an approximately foot-deep depression 16 that can accommodate approximately one foot of the user.
  • the depression 16 may be formed by decreasing the material thickness at this point or by adjusting the shape with a constant material thickness.
  • a part of the surfaces, more precisely the standing surfaces of the chamber elements 2 and 4 can be provided with nubs 14. These nubs 14 may have any shape, for example, as shown in Fig. 2, they may be approximately conical with rounded tips. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the nubs may be restricted to the area of the depression or distributed over a larger part of the surface.
  • the operation of the device according to the invention will be outlined with the aid of FIG.
  • the user stands on the base surfaces 6, 8 of the device.
  • the user exerts pressure on one of the two chamber elements 2 with his foot by muscular force, as illustrated by the large arrow, this ensures that pressure compensation takes place via the hollow webs 10, 12 between the two chambers, i. the volume of fluid (in this example the air) is partially or completely pressed by the webs 10, 12 from one chamber element 2 into the other 4. Since the webs in comparison to the chamber size only have a much smaller cross-section (see Fig. 1, section line B-B), which is available for pressure equalization, creates a back pressure against which the user must press with muscle power.
  • the pressure distribution on various points of a user's feet constantly changes.
  • the nubs cause 14 on the Stand surface 6, 8 by changing contact pressure an additional massage effect for the foot areas, which also contributes to blood circulation.
  • the knobs prevent slipping of the user and ensure a stable footing.
  • Figure 4 shows an alternative embodiment of the device of the invention.
  • a flat piece of material 18 is present, which holds the two chamber elements 2, 4 relative to each other in position.
  • this piece of material 18 is formed integrally with the rest of the device, wherein the thickness of the connecting piece is variable.
  • the flexible surface of the device made of the plastic material adapts to the foot in use, which is more comfortable compared to a solid surface and can promote natural foot posture.
  • the device can also be used while sitting, so that the seated user with the feet alternately exerts pressure on the two chambers. This is conceivable, for example, for long sitting times in a restricted space, such as long-distance flights or long car rides, where usually there is no free space available for movement.
  • the device can also be used for other purposes. It is conceivable, for example, the use in exercises for balance training, since the fluid-filled chambers, depending on the degree of filling the user must constantly actively balance. Also a joint-gentle and gentle endurance training is possible. All uses are interesting both for the therapeutic field as well as in the leisure sector, since the training device is space-saving and inexpensive to manufacture. For use, only one surface is required, which corresponds to the normal footprint of a user. Unfilled or filled with air, the device is very light and can be easily transported.
  • the invention may vary in detail within the scope of the invention from the preferred embodiments described above. It is conceivable, for example, that the surface is profiled differently than with the rounded nubs.
  • the shape and arrangement of the two fluid chamber elements may well vary. Instead of one or two webs and more connecting webs between the chamber elements could be attached. All of these modifications do not alter the basic idea of the invention as set forth in the claims.
