BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a foot press according to the present invention; FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the foot press of the present invention. In this foot press, a sealing portion 3 around a vinyl sealing body 1 formed in a substantially U shape is sealed , and an air supply port 5 provided outside the sealing body 1 is provided.
This allows air to be supplied to the interior. The air supply port 5 is provided with a check valve (not shown) so that the air supplied to the sealing body 1 can be held.

Further, in this foot press, the inner surface of the sealing body 1 is thermocompression-bonded at predetermined intervals in the vertical direction in the figure.
And the like . For this reason, a portion to which air is supplied other than the inner surface bonding portions 7 is a pressing portion 8. Also, at the end position of the sealing body 1,
A first stopper 9a, 9b and a second stopper 11a, 11b are provided on the front surface or the back surface in the figure, and are configured to be connectable.

When pressurization is performed by the foot press configured as described above, first, the sealing body 1 is wrapped around the foot, and the first stoppers 9a and 9b are fixed to the second stoppers 11a and 11b, respectively. . Next, air is injected into the sealed body 1 from the air supply port 5 by a small pump, an air supply device, or the like (not shown).
Then, air enters the pressurizing portion 8 of the sealing body 1 and expands, so that the pressurized portion is easily pressed by the air pressure.
When the pressure reaches a comfortable level, stop the air supply and check valve 5
As a result, the pressure is maintained as it is. FIG. 2 shows a state in which the foot press is mounted on the foot in this manner.

In this foot press, the foot is tightened by the air pressure in the pressurizing section 8, and after a short pressurization (1-2 minutes), the pressure is reduced (opened) to improve blood circulation. Therefore, it is safe without pain, and the contraction action of the leg muscle can be easily promoted. Moreover, after use, it is not bulky by bleeding air and folding it, making it ideal for portable use such as travel. Further, since the device can be easily manufactured without requiring a complicated device, the manufacturing cost can be extremely reduced.

It is used by attaching to the outer surface of In this state, at the time of air supply, the outer surface portion of the sealing body 1 that is in contact with the cylindrical cover 13 does not expand because it is fixed by the cylindrical cover 13.
Since only the pressurized portion of the sealing body 1 in contact with the foot expands, pressurization can be effectively performed even with a small amount of air.

FIG. 5 shows a third embodiment of the foot press of the present invention. In this embodiment, the sealing body 1 of the foot press of the second embodiment shown in FIG. The second sheet 16 is formed in the same manner as the foot press of the second embodiment except that the second sheet 16 is formed of a material such as vinyl or rubber having high extensibility. In addition, the first sheet 15 and the second sheet 16 are connected to the inner surface bonding portion 7 and FIG.
Are bonded by a sealing portion 3 shown in FIG.

In this foot press, when the foot is attached to the foot, the first
The sheet 15 is a portion that does not touch the foot, and the second sheet 16
Is in contact with the foot, so that the pressurizing portion 8a in contact with the foot swells and the pressurizing portion 8b not in contact with the foot during air supply.
Since it is difficult to swell, pressure can be effectively applied even with a small amount of air.
