Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a supporting belt for the feet which mitigates fatigue on the legs and alleviates swollen legs and bad blood circulation when we are confined in a vehicle for long hours or have to remain in a seat in the same posture for long hours. SOLUTION: A supporting belt for feet is formed into a ring shape by joining both ends 7, 8 of main part 1 of a belt with short, upper belts 2, fixed to the main part 1 of a belt a certain distance 4 apart through both ends 5, 6 in a direction of the width, to a connecting belt 10 with a connecting device 9 which is adjustable in length. The supporting belt for the feet is suspended from a supporting clamp 15 on a portable table 14 found on the back of a seat 16. The supporting belt for feet supports the feet at a comfortable height by adjusting the length of the belt through the connecting device 9 after a user inserts feet in a space 3.

As a means for solving the above problems, a foot support belt according to the present invention comprises two short upper belts each having a required width from a central portion of a required length of a belt body. The bodies are placed at the required intervals.

Both ends in the width direction of the short upper band are fixed to the band main body so as to provide a space between the band main body and the short upper band so that both feet can be inserted therein.

[0006] Both ends of the belt-shaped body are connected to each other through connecting members of connecting belts having connecting members whose lengths can be adjusted at both ends thereof to form a ring shape, thereby forming a foot support belt. The connection between the both ends of the band-shaped body and the connecting band-shaped body may be performed by using fitting fittings that are fitted to each other.

[0007] The foot support belt formed in a ring shape is
It is hung on a support bracket of a simple table provided on the back of a chair of a vehicle, a bracket provided on the back of a chair, and the like.

[0008] Each of the feet is inserted into two space portions between the strip-shaped main body suspended by hooking and the short upper band-shaped body, and the length of the foot support belt is adjusted by the above-mentioned length-adjustable connection tool. Adjust your feet so that you can keep your feet in the most comfortable position.

In some cases, instead of the connecting band provided with connecting devices at both ends, hooks or hooking rings may be provided at both ends of the band-shaped body, and the hooks or hooks may be received by metal fittings and hung.

[0010]

1 to 4 show an embodiment of the present invention.
2 is a strip-shaped main body 1 of a required length configured so as to have a narrow width.
The two short upper belts 2 are overlapped with each other at a distance 4 from the central portion of the belt, and both ends 5, 6 in the width direction of the short upper belt 2 are fixed to the belt main body 1 by sewing or the like.

When the short upper band 2 is fixed to the band main body 1, the looseness is secured between the band main body 1 and the short upper band 2 so that a space 3 enough to insert both feet can be secured. And fix it.

Both ends 7 and 8 of the band body 1 are provided with connecting members 9 whose lengths can be adjusted at both ends.
No. 0, are connected by the connecting tool 9 and formed in a ring shape to constitute the foot support belt A.

As another embodiment, as shown in FIG.
At both ends 7 and 8 of the belt-shaped body 1, a connecting tool 25 whose length can be adjusted is provided. At an end of the connecting strip 10, a fitting connector 26 which is fitted with the connecting tool 26 with one touch is provided. The connection is made by the connection tools 25 and 26, and the foot support belt A 'is formed in a ring shape. Of course, the length adjusting function may be provided at the center of the connecting strip 10 as shown in FIG.

The material of the band body 1, the short upper band 2, and the connecting band 10 is made of cloth, vinyl, reinforced paper, etc.
As shown in FIG. 5, a foot support belt is formed using a net-like material.

The two portions of the band-shaped main body 1 where the short upper band-shaped bodies 2 are stacked are portions where both feet are placed, respectively. The surface of the band-shaped main body 1 in this portion is shown in FIG. As shown, a number of small projections 13 may be provided to stimulate the sole.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the foot support belt A or A 'constructed as described above is connected to a support bracket 15 of a simple table 14 provided on the back of a chair 16 of a vehicle or the like by a connecting strip. After hanging by hanging through the body 10 and inserting both feet 17 into the space portion 3 as shown in FIG. 6, the length is adjusted by using the connecting tool 9 provided on both sides and having a length adjusting function. And secure an appropriate position of both feet 17.

In addition to the simple table 14, a metal fitting 18 is provided on the back of the chair 16 as shown in FIG. 9, and the foot support belts A and A 'are hooked and hung on the metal fitting.

As another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, hooking hooks 19 are attached to both ends 7, 8 of the band-shaped body 1 without using a connecting belt 10 having connecting members 9 having adjusting functions at both ends. And a hook-shaped hook 2 provided on the back of the chair 16 as shown in FIG.
0, or hooked on a handle 21 shown in FIG. 12 to suspend and use a foot support belt B composed of the band-shaped body 1.

In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, hooking rings 22 are provided at both ends 7, 8 of the band-shaped body 1 as shown in FIG. 2
2 is hooked on a metal fitting 23 provided on the back of the chair 16, and a foot support belt C made of the band-shaped body 1 is used by hanging it.

7 and 8, the vicinity of both ends 7 and 8 of the belt-like body 1 of the support belts B and C shown in FIGS.
Is provided with a length adjuster 24 that can adjust the length of the band-shaped body 1.

Although an example of using the chair 16 in the embodiment has been described, the foot support belt of the present invention can also be attached to various kinds of furniture, health equipment, and the like.

The above-mentioned foot support belt A 'by fitting-type connection shown in FIG.
By providing the connection fitting 26 for connection, it can be used simply by inserting the connector 25 of the band-shaped body 1.

[0023]

According to the present invention, the foot receiving portion is constituted by fixing both ends in the width direction of the short upper band member to the band main body by means of sewing or the like, thereby forming the foot receiving portion. After inserting both feet into the seat, the length of the belt-shaped body can be adjusted using a connecting device with an adjusting mechanism, and both feet can be held at the required height. When you have to sit in a chair in a posture,
In addition, it is possible to release the state in which the feet are always hung down when the user needs to continue sitting on the chair for a long time.

As a result, swelling of the foot, fatigue of the foot,
Prevents poor blood flow in the feet and is very comfortable during use.

In recent years, overseas travel has increased, and many people have to stay in a sitting position for a long time in an airplane. During sitting, blood coagulates in blood vessels in the legs and blood clots may form. Cases have arisen in which blood flow is interrupted and blood clots are carried in the bloodstream, causing various disorders and resulting in death.

The use of the foot support belt of the present invention makes it easier to use the foot as compared to the case where the foot is not used because the foot is always lifted up to its comfortable position. Since swelling can be prevented and blood circulation can be improved, it has the effect of minimizing the occurrence of thrombus.

Further, the foot support belt of the present invention can be used not only for vehicles, but also for people in medical treatment who need to maintain their feet at a slightly higher position in order to improve blood circulation of the feet, and can be used for furniture such as chairs. Alternatively, it can be used by hanging it on a health appliance.

In addition, the foot support belt of the present invention
It does not require a large amount of manufacturing cost, and does not change its structure when attaching to various types of vehicles or health equipment.
It can be easily installed and used, and it is also easy to use when used, and it is very light and portable.
