Description

    The present invention relates to a footrest and a belt and clothing used by connecting to the footrest.

When seated in aircraft, railway, automobile, etc. or in seats of theaters, if you are forced into a cramped posture with a narrow distance from the front, you may feel tired in your feet or be seated for a long time with your shoes on The legs may swell due to poor blood flow.
In addition, if you sit in a seat without moving your lower limbs for a long time in a certain posture, a clot of the ground (deep vein thrombosis) may form in the veins in the back of the thigh. Some can ride on the bloodstream and jump into the lungs, blocking the blood vessels in the lungs. This is also commonly known as “economy class syndrome (long flight thrombosis)” and can be fatal in severe cases.

In order to prevent this economy class syndrome, it is recommended that you move your body regularly by exercising such as moving your heels and toes up and down and moving your toes while sitting in a seat. It has been done.
Also. When sitting for a long time, the burden on the hips is not limited because of the need to support the body, and since the tension is sustained, it tends to cause stiff shoulders. For this reason, massage to the waist and shoulders is also effective.

  Recently, there are a few footrests that are equipped with a footrest or a footrest on which the foot can be placed in front of the seat. In such cases, footrests that can be used in vehicles and theaters are sold, and can be used by suspending them on a footrest that is formed into a trapezoid by injecting air or on a lunch table in front of the seat. There is a footrest to do.

  On the other hand, tools for massage on the waist and shoulders include vibrators that generate vibrations and shoulder tapping, but they require electricity and are inconvenient to carry or generate noise. Not suitable for use in theaters.

As an invention / invention related to the prevention of economy class syndrome, a footrest type in-flight machine is used to remove the pressure of the vein from the back side of the thigh and keep the blood circulation in the lower limbs well. There is a bag (Patent Document 1). The present invention is characterized by a structure provided with a rigid flat plate on which a foot can be placed on a normal in-flight bag and its support.
However, in this invention, when the user sits on the seat and moves the heel or toe of the foot up and down or moves the toes, the bag (footrest) may move and move away from the foot. It is necessary to correct the position of the bag (footrest).

As a means for preventing the foot from separating from the footrest, it is conceivable to provide a fixing tool for fixing the foot to the footrest. In this regard, an invention (Patent Document 2) relating to a footrest to which a foot fixing tool is attached is known. In the present invention, a foot fixing tool is attached to a footrest having a fixed inclination angle.
However, according to the invention disclosed in the document (Patent Document 2) and the footrest shown in the drawings as an embodiment, the footrest must be fixed with a hook-and-loop fastener after placing the foot (FIGS. 1 to 4). Or, when the foot fixing tool is used with a foot having a size different from the assumed foot size, the foot is loosely fixed (FIGS. 5 to 7). In addition, since the foot fixing tool exists as a protrusion on the surface on which the foot is placed, there is a problem that the foot fixing device is caught when it is carried.
