Description

  The present invention relates to a swinging footrest on which both feet are placed while sitting on a chair.

  As a footrest that reduces fatigue when seated on a chair for a long time, a footrest that is separately configured on the left and right has been proposed (Patent Document 1).

  However, this is intended to correct from the outside so that the crotch does not spread when seated, and makes the user feel cramped.

Noto 316685

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a swinging footrest for a chair that does not make the user feel cramped and has a high fatigue reduction effect.

  The inventor thought that the fatigue at the time of sitting could be alleviated not by restricting the movement of the foot but rather by moving it appropriately. As a result of repeated experiments, it has been found that it is effective in reducing fatigue by interlocking the left and right feet in a rhythmic manner, and the present invention has been completed.

  That is, the present invention is a swinging footrest on which both feet are placed while sitting on a chair, and a footrest portion on which the left and right feet are placed, and a footrest portion that swings in the left-right direction while supporting the footrest portion. And a leg portion to be caused.

  When the present invention is used, the user can feel that his / her sitting posture has been improved or that his / her body has become lighter and his / her fatigue has been reduced. Although the principle has not been clarified in detail, the inventor thinks that the muscles around the pelvis and the hip joint are relieved by rocking the left and right feet rhythmically.

  Further, in the present invention, it is desirable that the leg portion is curved on a circular arc at the surface in contact with the floor. By doing so, it becomes easy to rock both feet rhythmically. The reason is not clear in detail, but since the pivot point of swinging moves from the center to the left and right, the amount of stepping on one foot and the amount of jumping on the other foot are not the same amount. The inventor thinks that it is easy to change the course.

  Moreover, in this invention, it is desirable for the footrest part to be comprised separately on right and left. In this way, when a heavy object is distributed to the left and right, the inertial force with respect to the swing increases, and it becomes easier to swing both feet rhythmically. The reason for this is not clear in detail, but the inventor thinks that it is easier to change the left and right foot by increasing the feeling of resistance when changing the left and right.

  According to the present invention, fatigue when sitting on a chair for a long time can be reduced.

It is a whole perspective view of the rocking footrest for chairs concerning a first embodiment. It is a whole perspective view of the rocking footrest for chairs concerning 2nd embodiment.

  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of a chair swinging footrest according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the technical scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.

(First embodiment)
First, the structure of the rocking footrest 1 for chairs which is 1st embodiment is demonstrated with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the chair swinging footrest 1 is composed of footrest portions 10 and 10 and leg portions 20 and 20 that support the footrest portions 10 and 10 below the footrest portions 10 and 10. It is configured.

  The footrests 10 and 10 are wooden plate-like members having a rectangular shape in plan view, and in this embodiment, the length is 23 cm × the width 11 cm × the thickness 2 cm. The footrest 10 need not be larger than the size of the foot.

  The leg portion 20 is a wooden surface that is in contact with the floor surface and is curved on an arc, and the vicinity of the center is thinner than the portion in contact with the footrest portion. By adopting such a configuration, when the entire mass distribution curve is drawn, peaks are formed on the left and right sides, and the inertial force against the swing is increased.

  Below, the usage method of the rocking footrest 1 for chairs is demonstrated. Place the chair swing footrest 1 on the front floor of the chair. The user sits on the chair, puts the left and right feet on the footrests 10 and 10, and steps on the left and right feet alternately rhythmically. The speed of stepping on is not particularly specified as long as the user feels comfortable. The purpose is not to increase the speed, but to be used in a relaxed (weak) state. The frequency of use and the time of one use are not particularly specified. When the user feels tired, it can be used for a desired time.

  Most users feel that they are better at sitting and feel lighter. Thus, it can be felt that fatigue has been reduced. The inventor thinks that the principle is that the tension of the muscles around the pelvis and hip joint is eased by rocking the left and right feet rhythmically.

  Many users feel that walking is smooth when they get up from the chair. This is not only for those who used the chair swinging footrest 1 after sitting for a long time, but also those who are not. From this, the inventor also thinks that the skeletal structure from the pelvis to the spine and further to the skull may be prepared by relaxing the tension of the muscles around the pelvis and hip joints. Therefore, the inventor believes that the present invention can be applied to fields such as sports, physical education, rehabilitation, and nursing care.

  In addition, as a secondary effect of the present invention, it can be expected to eliminate irritation. In recent years, it has been found that the so-called poor liquor is one of the means for relieving stress. This is because it is thought that it can relieve tension.

(Second embodiment)
Next, a configuration of the chair swing footrest 2 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the chair swing footrest 2 includes a footrest portion 210 and leg portions 220 and 220 that support the footrest portion 210 below the footrest portion 210.

  The footrest portion 210 is a wooden plate-like member having a rectangular shape in plan view, and in the present embodiment, the length is 44 cm in the longitudinal direction × 23 cm in the lateral direction × 1 cm in thickness.

  The leg part 20 is a wooden plate-like member, and the surface in contact with the floor surface is curved on an arc.

  The method of using the chair swing footrest 2 is the same as that of the chair swing footrest 1.

The contents described above relate to an embodiment of the present invention, and do not mean that the present invention is limited to the above contents. For example, in the present embodiment, the surface of the leg that is in contact with the floor surface is curved on an arc so as to be able to swing in the left-right direction, but a rotating shaft is provided or a leaf spring is used. Of course, you may.
The numerical values (dimensions) and materials described in the present embodiment are not limited to these, and are design matters that are appropriately changed.
