JP3212795U - An assembly-type footrest with a top plate and a bottom plate fitted to a hexagonal column. - Google Patents

Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a footrest that can be easily assembled and is lightweight and strong enough to withstand a load in order to raise the position of the foot, stabilize the lower body, extend the back and maintain the posture of the upper body correctly. A light material such as corrugated cardboard is used, and a portion that becomes a pillar for holding the top plate and the bottom plate adopts a hexagonal structure to obtain strength, and the bases of two trapezoidal shapes are formed. Join back to back. The joint portion becomes the inner wall connecting the diagonals of the hexagon. Two of the six outer surfaces are doubled to maintain strength. For the coupling of the two surface portions, a protruding portion is provided at the end of the side surface and fixed by inserting each other. The top plate and the bottom plate are each provided with cuts that form four grooves, and are engaged with the eight grooves on the top and bottom provided on the four side surfaces of the hexagonal column portion to join the columns.

Description

When an elderly person or a child sits down on a chair, the length of the legs is insufficient, and the toes tend to be difficult to reach the floor surface, and it may not be easy to maintain a correct posture.
By preparing a footrest at the foot, the thigh goes up and the problem is solved.
The problem is to prepare a footrest that is lightweight and has a solid structure that can withstand the load, is easy to handle, and is low in cost.

The required footrest is lightweight, strong enough to withstand the load on the legs, easy to handle, and an assembly type structure that is easy to carry without being bulky is suitable.
In order to provide strength against the load from the top, the pillar portion is selected to have a hexagonal shape (honeycomb), and the member is made of a light material such as corrugated paper in order to reduce the weight.
The structure of the hexagonal column is such that two parts corresponding to the bottom of a trapezoidal structure consisting of wall surfaces are joined back to back to form a hexagon when viewed from above.
The joined portion becomes an inner wall connecting the diagonals of the hexagon.
Along with the double-made inner wall, the column is formed in a hexagonal shape designed to double two of the six side wall surfaces constituting the wall.
For the joining of the two surface portions to be overlapped on the side surfaces, a method is adopted in which a portion having a protruding shape is provided at the end of the portion that becomes the wall surface, and they are inserted and fixed to each other.
Cut portions to be grooves are formed above and below four of the six side surfaces, and the top plate and the floor plate support are meshed and joined at that portion.
The top plate has a structure in which two support columns are attached and joined, and incisions that become grooves are provided at two locations on each support column, and four slots are provided on the sides of the hexagonal column. Engage with the part.
The bottom plate has the same structure.
The structural parts separated into the body part, the top plate part, and the bottom plate part are assembled and united together to complete the footrest.
This specification can solve the problem.

This assembly type footrest can be handled easily, and can solve and satisfy the subject condition.
The posture of the body in which the position of the legs rises can extend the back and maintain the posture of the upper body correctly.
By lifting the thigh at the same time, it is possible to have a good effect on the blood flow of both legs and to obtain a comfortable sensation.

The footrest is provided in a form that satisfies the requirements of being lightweight, easily completed by an assembly method, being transported in three divided states, and the like.
