A passenger who sits down and sits on the seat has both the function of resting his / her foot on the footrest member from any posture and the function of extending and retracting the ankle by stepping on the footrest member and tilting with the foot. Is the gist.

  The simple footrest of the present invention is formed so as to be installed on the front floor of an indoor seat, and has a support member having a pair of bearings facing in the width direction of the seat, and a support shaft between the bearings. And a footrest member configured to be able to tilt in the vertical direction or the front-rear direction by stepping on the front and rear of the sole of the foot, and is placed on an indoor floor and seated on a seat The gist of the present invention is that the seated person has both a function of resting his / her foot on the footrest member from an arbitrary posture and a function of extending and retracting the ankle by stepping on and tilting the footrest member with the foot.

  The simple footrest of the present invention has the above-described configuration and can be placed on the feet of various vehicles, aircraft, ships, and indoor seats to rest on the feet or move the feet to recover the fatigue of the feet. Thus, the comfort of the foot can be maintained for a long time, and the structure can be provided inexpensively with a simple structure.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, in this embodiment, the simple footrest applied to the general passenger car which is not provided with the footrest is illustrated. In FIG. 1, the simple footrest 1 includes a support plate 2 having a pair of bearings 3 and a footrest plate supported between the bearings 3 via a support shaft 4. In the following, the explanation will be supplemented for each part.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the support plate 2 is integrally formed of a plastic material and includes an installation surface 21 and a pair of bearing surfaces 22. The installation surface 21 is formed in a substantially rectangular plate shape, and each bearing surface 22 is formed in a substantially trapezoidal plate shape from both ends (short sides) of the installation surface 21, and the bearing 3 is fixed to the upper part. Has been. In this way, the support plate 2 is formed so that the installation surface 21 can be installed on the front floor of the passenger car seat, and the pair of bearing surfaces 22 are formed so as to face each other in the width direction of the seat. Here, the installation surface 21 and each bearing surface 22 are formed in a flat plate shape, but the installation surface 21 may be formed in a frame structure, and each bearing surface 22 may be formed in a frame shape. Further, the support plate 2 may be formed of a metal material, wood, etc. in addition to a plastic material.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the footrest plate 5 is formed in a substantially rectangular plate shape with a size on which (both) feet can be placed and stepped on the front and rear portions of the soles of the feet. The support shaft 4 is inserted slightly above the center of both ends (short sides), and one end of the support shaft 4 protrudes outward. In this way, the footrest plate 5 is disposed between the bearing surfaces 22 of the support plate 2, and the support shafts 4 of the footrest plate 5 are supported by the bearings 3 of the respective bearing surfaces 22 so that the foot rests. It is assembled so that it can be tilted in the vertical direction or the front-rear direction by a stepping operation on the front and rear of the sole of the foot.

  In this way, the simple footrest 1 is configured and placed on the floor of the passenger car (for example, the feet of the passenger seat or the rear seat), so that the occupant seated on the seat rests on the footrest plate 5 from any position. And a function of expanding and contracting the ankle by stepping on and tilting the footrest plate 5 with the foot. For example, when resting a foot from a sitting posture in which the occupant sits shallowly on the seat and throws out the foot, the simple footrest 1 is placed at an appropriate distance from the seat, and the footrest member is placed at an arbitrary angle with the foot (the occupant is comfortable The angle that you feel is good). As a result, the feet can be sufficiently rested. In addition, when a tired feeling is generated in the sitting posture, the position of the simple footrest 1 is moved back and forth as necessary, and the footrest plate 5 is tilted up and down or forward and backward at the front and rear of the sole of the foot. To do. Thereby, the ankle can be expanded and contracted, and the fatigue of the foot can be recovered. Similarly, when resting a foot from a seating posture where the occupant sits deeply in the seat and bends or extends the leg, the simple footrest 1 is placed close to the seat as appropriate or pulled away as appropriate, and the footrest plate with the foot It is only necessary to press 5 to an arbitrary angle (an angle at which the passenger feels comfortable). Even in this way, you can rest your feet. In addition, when a tired feeling is generated in the sitting posture, the position of the simple footrest 1 is moved back and forth as necessary, and the footrest plate 5 is tilted up and down or forward and backward at the front and rear of the sole of the foot. By doing so, the ankle can be expanded and contracted to recover the fatigue of the foot.

  As mentioned above, according to this simple footrest 1, it puts on the foot of the seat of a general passenger car, rests on a foot, moves a foot, and recovers fatigue of a foot, and maintains the comfort of a foot long. In addition, it can be provided at a low cost with a simple structure.

  In the above embodiment, the support plate 2 is integrally formed. However, the installation surface 21 and each bearing surface 22 are formed separately and are fitted into either the installation surface 21 or each bearing surface 22. The mounting surface 21 and each bearing surface 22 can be assembled by providing a groove or a hole, a protrusion for fitting on either one of the installation surface 21 or each bearing surface 22, and a recess on the other. It may be configured. In this case, a U-shaped groove may be formed as a bearing at the top of each bearing surface 22 so that each support shaft 4 of the footrest plate 5 is placed in the groove. Further, the storage recesses of the footrest plate 5 and the support shaft 4 may be formed on one surface of the installation surface 21, and the storage recesses of the bearing surfaces 22 may be formed on the other surface. The assembly-type simple footrest has excellent storability and portability.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although illustrated about the simple footrest applied to a general passenger car, it is fundamentally the same structure, various vehicles including a bus, a truck, a train other than a general passenger car, and also an airplane, a ship, etc. A simple footrest applied to a vehicle can be provided. In this case, the design may be changed according to the installation space of various vehicles.

  Furthermore, this simple footrest can also be applied for indoor use. In this case, the support member is formed so as to be installed on the front floor of the indoor seat, and includes a pair of bearings facing in the width direction of the seat, and the footrest member is supported between the bearings via a support shaft. Thus, it is configured to be able to tilt in the vertical direction or the front-rear direction by stepping on the front part and the rear part of the sole of the foot.
