Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that a bucket or face washing bowl sold in the market, conventionally used for feet bath, raises users' difficulties in staying easy immersing up to the calves in warm water within the bucket, or users' necessities to sprinkle fresh warm water on the feet while dipping in soiled water or supporting the feet by ourselves. <P>SOLUTION: The feet bath bucket is divided into three parts - a top bucket, a triangle corner and a bottom bucket. The top bucket has a drain port, the triangle corner is used as a feet stand, which is high enough to drain soiled water into the bottom bucket. A side wall and the bottom of the top bucket are inclined to widen the bottom. The top bucket is made deep enough for us to dip our feet in warm water up to the calves, and enables us to easily bathe our feet. By these arrangements, the effects of feet relaxation, blood circulation improvement, feet swelling removal, and keeping the feet in cleaner condition are expected. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a foot bath bucket for a person capable of holding a sitting position as a nursing / care article.

  In the conventional foot bath for nursing / nursing care, a commercially available bucket or basin was used.

  In the case of a commercially available bucket, it could not be fully extended to the tip of the candle, and in the case of a basin, the calf could not reach hot water.

  Conventionally, when pouring hot water, the feet were immersed in dirty water, or the practitioner applied hot water while supporting the feet.

  The present invention is intended to improve the conventional inconvenience, and it is an object of the present invention to enable a foot bath recipient to perform a foot bath cleanly while being comfortable.

  The means for solving the first problem is to secure an area as large as possible so that the bottom surface of the bucket is fully extended from both soles.

  The height of the bucket is set so that the bottom of the bucket is attached to the bottom of the bucket to the calf.

  Angle the side of the bucket on the side of the calf so that the calf of the foot bather can easily soak in the hot water, and widen the mouth of the bucket.

The bucket corners are rounded so that the foot bather is safe and the bucket is easy to clean.

  The second problem solving means divides the foot bath bucket into three parts: an upper bucket, a triangular corner, and a lower bucket.

  A rubber stopper and a drain outlet are installed in the upper bucket so that they do not touch the soles of the foot bath recipients. In addition, the bottom of the upper bucket has a weak crown to the drain so that sewage flows.

  The triangular corners support the weight of the upper bucket, so the sides are thickened so that sewage flows from the holes.

  The height of the triangular corner is preferably 10 centimeters or more so that sewage collects in the lower bucket.

  The lower bucket is sized to wrap around the upper bucket and the triangular corner.

  A groove for supporting and fixing the triangular corner is provided on the outer bottom surface of the upper bucket and the inner bottom surface of the lower bucket. The bottom groove inside the lower bucket is drilled for drainage.

  Since the bucket for foot bath of the present invention is soaked in hot water comfortably up to the calf, blood circulation is promoted and a relaxing effect is obtained.

  In addition, since the dirty water does not collect in the bucket, the feet can be kept clean.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

            No. 4 is a chain connected to the rubber stopper of the drain opening provided in the upper bucket, so that the rubber stopper is fixed to the handle of the upper bucket and is not lost.

            No. 5 is a spout for pouring the sewage water of the upper bucket by knocking down the bucket, and is also useful for fixing the chain connected to the rubber stopper.

  When only hot water bath is used without washing, only the upper bucket is plugged, so the groove for fixing the triangular corner on the bottom surface of the outer top of the upper bucket is deeper than the depth of the rubber stopper. Make sure there is height. The groove needs to be strong enough to support hot water in the upper bucket.

            7 is a handle for the lower bucket, and in order to support the weight of the sewage, attach two handles so that they are placed on the edge of the bucket that makes it easier to grasp the handle.

The shape of the lower bucket is a square so that a large amount of sewage is collected, and when pouring the sewage by tilting the lower bucket, it is poured from the edge of the corner.

The corners of the upper and lower buckets are rounded for safety. Also, the edges of the buckets 8 and 9 should be folded so that they can be lifted with both fingers.

  FIG. 2 is a state diagram of a foot bath using the product of the present invention.

  Foot bath recipients should be in a sitting position, with the front facing the toes and the back facing the calves.

  The foot bather shall be facing or beside the beneficiary.

  It is considered that foot bath recipients are more comfortable when sitting on a seat with a height of 70 to 80 cm from the floor, such as an electric bed.
