DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a foot bath exerciser for recovering lower body fatigue, promoting blood circulation, and improving muscle strength of calves and Achilles tendons.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a foot bath massager is disclosed in
There is an apparatus provided with a jet jet discharge part and / or a bubble generation part of circulating hot water as described in 1-76359 on a side surface and / or an inner bottom surface of a box-shaped body, respectively. In addition, actual Kaihei 5
No.-93441, which can be stored in a recess of an article or a structure, and includes a washing tank having a foot washing space therein, a foot washing device and a foot massage device disposed in the washing tank, and Some can store water up to the calf of the user.

[0003] However, in the former case, the main purpose is a massage effect, and particularly the sole and calf are subjected to a warm bath massage, and stretching exercises for increasing muscle strength of the Achilles tendon and the like cannot be performed. In addition, water (cold water) for warm bath
And no effect of strengthening blood vessels can be found.

[0004] The latter has a foot-washing and foot-massaging effect. Like the former, the muscle-building effect cannot be expected. Both the former and the latter, especially the lower-body dieting effect, cannot be expected. .

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and provides a warm bath massage effect as well as exercise equipment to increase muscle strength of calves, Achilles tendons, and the like. Accordingly, the present invention provides a foot bathing exerciser in which a lower body weight effect can be expected.

[0006]

As a means for solving the above-mentioned problems, an exercise machine for stretching exercise for increasing muscle strength such as a calf or Achilles tendon is provided on a vessel body provided with at least a hot water container for storing hot water. To be provided. In addition, exercise equipment must be provided in the hot water container.
Exercise equipment is in the form of seesaw exercise. In addition, a projection for stimulating acupoints on the sole of the foot is formed on the footrest of the exercise equipment. Furthermore, a water container for storing water must be provided in the vessel body. In addition, a jet device for simultaneously jetting bubbles is provided in the hot water container. In addition, a cover for keeping the temperature above the knees of the lower body of the footbath by far infrared rays or the like is provided.

[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a foot bath exerciser will be described in detail. The foot bath exerciser 1 is a hot water container 2 for storing hot water.
a at the center of the bottom surface of the vessel body 2 provided with a.
The exercise equipment 3 which can perform a seesaw exercise | movement which consists of the footrest board 3c supported by the axis | shaft 3b between a is provided. In addition, the convex part 3c which stimulates the sole A1 on the surface of the footrest plate 3c
1 may be formed, and it is also conceivable to divide the footrest plate 3c into two left and right legs so that the left and right legs A can move separately.

An example of use of the foot bath exerciser 1 will be described below. The warm water O (42) is stored in the warm water container 2a of the foot bath exerciser 1.
℃), then put the foot A and the sole A1 of the foot
c, and a seesaw movement about the axis 3b can be performed to increase the muscle strength of the calf A2 and the Achilles tendon A3. In addition, there is also a diet effect of tightening the ankle, and the sole A1 of the foot is formed by the convex portion 3c1. By stimulating, effects such as recovery from fatigue and promotion of blood circulation can be expected. As is well known, the calf A2 is called a second heart, and by training this, the blood pressure can be stabilized.

Next, the foot bathing exerciser 21 is provided with water M
(Approximately 5 ° C.) is provided with a water container 22b for storing water. By alternately putting warm water and water M in the feet, the expansion and contraction of the blood vessel is repeated, and the blood vessel is made tough.

Subsequently, the foot bath exerciser 31 includes a mixer 4c for mixing hot water (water) with air B, which connects a submersible pump 4a and an air suction pipe 4b, which draw hot water (water) into the main body 32 and circulates. The bubble B1 is also provided with a jet device 4 for simultaneously ejecting the bubble B1.
Has the effect of massaging the feet.

Finally, the footbath exerciser 41 wraps the lower body (above the knee) on the upper surface of the body 42 with a material that emits far-infrared rays or generates negative ions (for example, rubber mixed with ceramic powder). The cover 4 to be held is provided detachably, and the slit 4
a.4a. The footbath exerciser 41 simultaneously keeps the lower body warm, has more blood circulation promotion and a diet effect, and a form provided with a heater is also considered.

In each of the above-described embodiments, it is also conceivable to consider a mode in which a drain can be provided by providing a drain in the vessel body, and management of hot water or water (cold water) by microcomputer control. The exercise equipment may be provided not only in the hot water container but also in the water container.
Further, not only one jet device but also a plurality of jet devices may be provided.

[0013]

[Effect of the Invention] 1. Not only the warm bath massage effect, but also
Exercise equipment can increase the strength of the calves, Achilles tendons, etc., and has the effect of tightening the ankles, and the effect of training the calves to stabilize blood pressure. 2. By providing the convex portion, the sole of the foot is stimulated, which has effects such as recovery from fatigue and promotion of blood circulation. 3. Both hot water and water (cold water) can be stored. By alternately putting and using the feet, the expansion and contraction of the blood vessels are repeated, and the blood vessels can be made stronger. 4. The massage effect is further improved by the jet device. 5. By far infrared rays or negative ions, blood circulation promotion and diet effect can be expected.
