This bar is firmly attached to a base 4 by a fastening device 3. This base may be foldable. The apparatus according to the invention is more particularly intended for soothing tired legs and aching hands.

Description

D E S C R I P 'l I 0 N
La présente invention concerne un appareil destin a l'automassage des pieds et ces mains.DESCRIP 'l I 0 N
The present invention relates to an apparatus for self-massage of the feet and these hands.

Cet appareil, proche par son utilisation du grattepieds, a pour objectif de soulager notamment les lourdeurs des jambes et les douleurs des mains. This device, close by its use of the scraper, aims to relieve the heaviness of the legs and the pain of the hands.

La partie active de l'invention (1) est constituée par une barre d'environ 240 mm de long - suffisante pour y poser les deux pieds à la fois - surmontée de picots tronconiques (2) terminés par un secteur sphérique de 5 mm de diamètre. Chaque picot est séparé de l'autre par une distance de 10 mm d'axe en axe. Une seule rangée de picots est prévue, mais une variante peut en comporter deux ou trois disposées, de préférence, en quinconce; l'écartement entre deux picots est alors porté à 15 mm d'axe en axe en tous sens. Cet élément doit être réalisé en matière isolante, rigide, non cassante et résistant bien à l'abrasion. Une résine de type polyester armé au verre textile conviendrait, mais un moulage par injection d'une matière comparable serait satisfaisant. Cet élément de l'invention peut être rendu amovible et remplaçable par un système approprié de fixation simple (3). The active part of the invention (1) consists of a bar about 240 mm long - sufficient to place both feet there at the same time - surmounted by frustoconical pins (2) terminated by a spherical sector of 5 mm diameter. Each pin is separated from the other by a distance of 10 mm from axis to axis. A single row of pins is provided, but a variant may include two or three, preferably arranged in staggered rows; the distance between two pins is then increased to 15 mm from axis to axis in all directions. This element must be made of insulating, rigid, non-brittle material and resistant to abrasion. A polyester type resin reinforced with textile glass would be suitable, but an injection molding of a comparable material would be satisfactory. This element of the invention can be made removable and replaceable by an appropriate simple fixing system (3).

Le socle (4), pour offrir une bonne stabilité pendant l'utilisation de l'appareil, a une surface de contact avec le sol de 240 mm de côté environ. Une sous-face antidérapante, mais non agressive pour les revêtements de sol, peut être prévue pour renforcer cet effet. The base (4), in order to provide good stability during the use of the device, has a contact surface with the ground of approximately 240 mm per side. A non-slip, but non-aggressive underlay for floor coverings, can be provided to reinforce this effect.

La hauteur hors tout de l'appareil est a'environ 150 mm pour que i'utilisateur soit à l'aise, assis sur une chaise ou dans un fauteuil. The overall height of the device is about 150 mm so that the user is comfortable, seated in a chair or in an armchair.

Le choix des matériaux et des solutions techniques de fabrication en série doit satisfaire aux exigences minima de roustesse, stabilité, rigidité d'ensemble, esthétique
et de moindre coût.The choice of materials and technical solutions for mass production must meet the minimum requirements for roughness, stability, overall rigidity, aesthetics
and lower cost.

Selon une autre variante, le socle de l'appareil peut
etre repliable pour en faciliter le rangement et/ou le
transport. According to another variant, the base of the device can
be foldable for easy storage and / or
transport.
