Description

The present invention is particularly effective in stretching the Achilles tendon, correcting hallux valgus, toe movement, sitting with the foot pressure on the floor with the legs stretched on the floor, and keeping the lower limb muscles as tight as possible. In particular, it relates to a lower limb health device used in a relaxed state.

There is a conventional lower limb health appliance that is used with the legs extended to the floor, and is attached to the bathtub and lies on the bathtub. As the fulcrum, the tip part is warped by the force of the spring, and it has a structure that simultaneously performs acupressure, achilles tendon stretching, etc. by stepping on the acupressure tool against the spring force on the toe side of the foot (for example, , See Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-228707).

Therefore, there are restrictions on the place of use that the muscles are in tension to use the strength against the spring force at all times in use, and that the device cannot be used unless there is a wall to be pressed so that the device does not move, etc. There are drawbacks.

  Also, as a supplement to the limitation of the use place, place it in the futon (though it does not have to be in the futon and think that there is no restriction on the place of use) Some have a function and apply pressure points on the soles of the feet while sleeping (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

However, in this state of use, there is a drawback in that the instrument moves backward each time the pressure on the sole of the foot is performed.
JP 2000-197684 A JP 2002-336085 A

  In view of the above-described conventional drawbacks, the present invention can be used anytime, anywhere, and will not shift backwards even if the sole is pressed against it. Stretch exercise of the Achilles tendon, correction of hallux valgus, foot Using your calves, sole pressure, etc. on the floor with your calves up from the heel of your foot, you can relax mentally without straining your lower limb muscles as much as possible. It aims at providing a leg health device which can be used in a state.

The above and other objects and novel features of the present invention will become more fully apparent when the following description is read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
However, the drawings are for explanation only and do not limit the descriptive scope of the present invention.

The present invention also includes a footrest plate 1 for placing a portion of the foot heel on the calf on its upper surface, and a seesaw that protrudes from the lower surface of the footrest plate 1 and serves as a seesaw support shaft for the footrest plate 1. A footrest comprising a base 2 and a seesaw auxiliary member 10 that is provided on the upper surface of the footrest plate 1 so as to be able to adjust the position back and forth behind the seesaw base 2 and assists in seesaw operation. A pair of left and right pedestals A and a pair of left and right which are erected on the front part of the footrest A with a height-adjustable structure, and which have irregularities on the surfaces that are rotated by the toes of the feet or pressed by the soles of the feet. The leg rotation rollers 15, 15, and the valgus rod correction rods that are vertically provided so as to pivot on the inner ends of the pair of left and right rotation rollers 15, 15 and protrude higher than the outer shape of the rotation roller 5. 14 and 14 are at least two left and right thumbs The portion of the foot stimulating member B that is provided with a gap between the foot and the toe of the foot with the sole and toes applied to the foot stimulating member B It is placed on the footrest plate 1 and the soles and toes are partially stimulated by the rotating rollers 15 and 15, and the hallux valgus correction rods 14 and 14 are sandwiched between the thumb and the second finger and the valgus is turned. The lower leg health device is configured to perform heel correction exercises and to allow the footrest plate 1 to see-saw to stretch an ankle and disentangle a calf.

As is clear from the above description, the present invention has the following effects.
(1) Even if the stimulating member is pushed with the sole or operated, the footrest plate is seesaw and tilts, so that the acting force that pushes the footrest A backward is divided, and the footrest A is rearward ( There is no deviation in the direction of pressing).
(2) Place the sole of the treatment side on the stimulating member and relax the muscles of the lower leg of the person to which the treatment is applied, and then see the footrest A with the heel and calf of the other leg. By doing so, the stimulating member repeats the pressing action on the sole of the foot, so that the instrument does not shift backward.
In addition to being treated by a therapist, the ankle movement and the desired treatment of the toes and soles in a relaxed state where the power of the whole lower limb of the side being treated is released, Since it is possible to relieve the swelling of the calves as a whole, blood circulation is promoted, and the therapeutic effect of recovery from fatigue is high.
(3) There is no use of electricity, no need to hang it on the wall, no need to hang it, no noise, no restrictions on men and women, simple structure and easy handling, etc. Anytime, anywhere, you can use it with confidence.
(4) Since the hallux valgus correcting rod is sandwiched between the thumb and the second finger in a state where blood circulation is improved, the hallux valgus correction exercise is performed, so that the therapeutic effect of hallux valgus is high.
(5) Since the seesaw operation can be performed easily by the seesaw auxiliary member, the muscles in the back (inside) of the calf that is in contact with the seesaw auxiliary member can be cramped, so that the effect of blood circulation promotion and fatigue recovery is further enhanced.
(6) The height adjustment of the sole stimulation member B and the front / rear position adjustment of the seesaw auxiliary member can be performed, so no matter who uses it, the optimum conditions can be set for the person using it, and the position to be treated can be freely adjusted according to the mood of the day can do.

  The lower limb health device of the present invention is composed of a footrest A and a foot stimulating member B that is detachably provided at the tip of the footrest A.

  The footrest A includes a footrest plate 1, a seesaw base 2 provided substantially at the lower surface of the footrest plate 1, and a seesaw auxiliary member 10 attached to an adjustment hole 131 provided at the rear of the footrest plate 1. It is made up of.

  The footrest plate 1 is provided with a receiving support hole 8 for detachably attaching the foot stimulating member B to the tip portion thereof, and reinforcing plate 9 is provided on the upper and lower surfaces thereof. ing. Bearing plates 31 and 31 for supporting the seesaw table 2 are provided at both ends of the center of the lower surface.

  The seesaw base 2 has a non-slip 6 (for example, rubber, felt, etc.) on the back surface and is made up of columns 5 having bearing holes 42 and 42 on both end surfaces, and is provided on the bottom surface of the footrest plate 1. The bearing plates 31 and 31 are supported by shaft rods 7 and 7. In order to adjust the height of the support shaft, the bearing plate 31 is provided with bearing holes 41, 41 vertically.

  The seesaw auxiliary member 10 is provided with a protrusion 11 that is inserted into the adjustment hole 131 of the footrest plate 1 on the lower surface, and a mountain-shaped convex portion that comfortably stimulates the calf on the upper surface.

  The upper part of the base plate 100 constituting the foot stimulating member B is provided with valgus burial correction rods 14 and 14 having bearing holes 43 at symmetrical positions, and bearing holes 44 are provided at both ends on the outside. The bearing plates 32, 32 that are provided are arranged. Reference numeral 15 denotes a rotating roller having a rotating shaft, and a vertical groove is formed on the outer periphery thereof at an appropriate interval. One rotating roller 15 is supported between the valgus welfare correction rods 14 and 14. Further, between the left and right valgus welfare correction rods 14 and the bearings 32, one rotation roller 15 is supported in an eight-letter shape so that the toes are evenly applied and stimulated.

  In addition, an adjustment hole 132 for fitting the stimulating member 17 is provided in the center plane of the base plate 100 in a vertically long hole shape, and a fitting portion 12 formed in a convex shape is provided below the adjustment hole 132. It is comprised so that it may incorporate in the support support part 8 upright.

  Reference numeral 19 denotes an acupressure rod, and the shape of the acupressure rod 19 is formed to have a length that is slightly pointed so as to be as close as possible to a finger of a human hand, and has a fulcrum hole 18 reserved in a separate body. A pair of stimulation members 17 are arranged on the left and right upper and lower stages. (See Figure 5)

On the other hand, the adjustment hole 132 for mounting the stimulating member 17 is provided in the center plane of the base plate 100 in the shape of a vertically long hole, and the adjustment hole 132 can be freely rotated by the nut 21 from the fulcrum hole 18 via the screw 20. It is screwed to the extent.

Next, the usage method will be described.
First, from the state in which the fitting part 12 of the base plate 100 constituting the foot stimulating member B is received and the footrest plate 1 incorporated in the support hole 8 upright is put on the floor with the heel part extended to the floor surface and the legs are extended to raise the heel. In order to align the moving roller 15 with the base of the user's toes, the both ends of the base plate 100 are sandwiched between both feet, and the fitting portion 12 can be received and supported in the supporting hole 8 by a length of 7-10 cm. Vertical adjustment is possible within the range of -5cm.

,
Next, when the feet and the base of the toes are pressed against the foot stimulating member B with both feet placed on the footrest plate 1 supported by the seesaw base 2 serving as a fulcrum, the footrest plate becomes the power point. When the rear part of 1 is pushed down by the calf and sinks, the energy generated by antagonizing the foot stimulation member B, which is the point of action, is blocked by the applied sole and the base of the toes, even though it tries to float by reaction. Is stimulated and conveyed to the soles.

  The seesaw assisting member 10 incorporated in order to further enhance and improve the lower limb health device having the seesaw function as described above is firstly used when stimulating the sole and stretching the Achilles tendon. 10 is crossed through the rear of the adjustment hole 131 so as to hit the gastrocnemius located in the central area of the calf, and then the stimulating member 17 integrated with the acupressure bar 19 is aligned with the desired acupoints of both feet, and the Achilles tendon is In a stretched state, the abdominal muscle is pressed against the acupressure stick 19 while giving a stimulus to the fulcrum. (See Figure 6)

  In order to effectively use the seesaw auxiliary member 10 in stretching the base of the toe and correcting hallux welfare, first, the seesaw auxiliary member 10 is made to hit the soleus located in the lower area of the calf. Next, set it at the front of the adjustment hole 131, and then place the thumb and second finger fully open on the valgus welfare correction rod 14 with the backs of both feet against the rotating roller 15 and the soleus muscle as a fulcrum. By rolling the rotating roller 15 alternately between the backs of both feet while giving stimulation, it produces the effect of stretching the tendon as well as stimulation by unevenness, and the thumb and second finger are united and repeated insertion and insertion, If both thumbs sandwiching the hallux welfare correction rod 14 are spread outward, the correction effect is further enhanced. (See Figure 7)

  Needless to say, the seesaw auxiliary member 10 is not used depending on the preference of the user, but can be placed vertically in the adjustment hole 131 and the calf can be directly applied to the footrest plate 1.

  Further, the stimulating member 10 in which the acupressure rods 19 are arranged in the upper and lower tiers has a distance between the upper and lower arrangements of the acupressure rods 19 when stimulating acupuncture points in the heel zone centering on the base of the toe and the sleeplessness. In the case where a wide vertically long surface is set in parallel, while the arch zone mainly composed of feet and foam is stimulated, the horizontally long surface with a narrow vertical space of the shiatsu sticks 19 is set in parallel. The four points on the left and right can be stimulated efficiently at the same time.

  Moreover, the sole on which the acupuncture points are concentrated, and the stimulating member 10 in which the acupressure rods 19 are arranged so as to be able to respond flexibly despite the fact that the skin has a hard layer and a soft layer is precisely located at a desired position. Depending on the control by the strength of pressing, you can enjoy comfortable pain that penetrates to the core of the pot.

  The height of the support shaft can be selected from the bearing holes 41 and 41 provided on the upper and lower sides of the bearing plates 31 and 31 by applying a rug to the buttocks according to the user's body shape or preference.

Next, how to use for prevention and reduction of varicose veins will be explained.
In particular, people who live on standing work have the problem that their legs become sluggish due to standing for a long time, and their legs become sore and painful. Therefore, to resolve this problem, stimulating the acupuncture points and the acupuncture points in the center line of the calf promotes the circulation of the blood flow, which in turn prevents the backflow of venous blood and congestion It is called a measure. In this lower limb health appliance focusing on these points, blood flow is promoted by a moderate stimulus by the weight of the calf applied to the seesaw assisting member 10, and a combined effect is brought together with the pressing of the acupuncture point by the acupressure stick 19.

Next, an effective usage method for stretching the Achilles tendon and toe tendon will be described.
First, in order to increase the angle of warping of the toes applied to the rotating roller 15, the stimulating member 17 is removed from the base plate 100 and set aside, and the seesaw auxiliary member 10 is set at the end of the adjustment hole 131. Next, with both feet stretched on the footrest 1 and the Achilles tendon stretched, the left and right toes are aligned and applied to the rotating roller 15, and the rotation is repeated alternately from the base of the toes to the fingertips. Can stretch the tendon toe and Achilles tendon while enjoying a pleasant experience
