Abstract

473,639. Foot - massage appliances. SCHOLL MANUFACTURING CO., Ltd., and NORRIS, G. THORNTON-. Dec. 18, 1936, No. 18137. [Class 81 (ii)] In a foot-massage appliance comprising a frame or casing with a support for the heel, a movable pad arranged to contact with the front part of the sole of the foot, and a motor for vibrating the pad, which is mounted on a. pillar carried by a sleeve on an eccentric end of the motor shaft and is resiliently anchored to the frame or casing, the massaging pad is positioned and controlled by means of an arm springing from the sleeve at the base of the pillar, the arm being resiliently supported on the frame or casing and being adapted for longitudinal sliding in relation to its support as well as for oscillatory movement. As shown, the appliance consists of a casing 2 for the motor 3, and foot-supporting platforms 7 formed with upwardly projecting parts 8 to limit rearward movement of the heels. The massage pads 9 are carried by pillars 13 mounted on bushed sleeves 11 engaging eccentric ends of the motor shaft 4. The pillars 13 are preferably hollow, and are packed with absorbent material for a lubricant which is introduced through openings in the pillars and supplied to the bearings through bores in the sleeves 11 and their bushings. Arms 14 attached to the sleeves are formed with slotted rear portions 15. A stud 16 passes through the slot in the rear part which is resiliently held by two springs 17, 18. The pads may be adjustably mounted on their pillars. The footsupports may include means for varying their inclination and/or means for adapting them to feet of different sizes. The device may be associated with timing and coinfreed mechanism. A single platform may replace the two platforms 7. The eccentric throws may be phased to give alternate or simultaneous action to the pads.
