Abstract

PURPOSE:To apply a sufficient stimulation to a human sole to match the natural mechanism of human organs by a method wherein a rotary hammer is supported at one end of an arm member provided between two rows of universal rollers while the other end thereof is pivoted on a base and the one end of the arm member is made free to reciprocate vertically with the other end thereof as fulcrum. CONSTITUTION:When a manipulation lever 47 is turned to a position as indicated by the two-dot chain line from the position as indicated by the solid line, a plate 59 is turned in the same direction through a shaft 45. As a result, a spring bearing 55 moves to the left and a position supporting a plate spring 31 shifts to intensify an elastic force of the plate spring 31. Thus, with a horizontal movement of the spring bearing 55, the energy of the plate spring 31 can be adjusted to allow the regulation of a reaction level of a rotary hammer 13. Thus, stimulation to be applied to a human sole can be varied thereby enabling the application of a sufficient stimulation to match a user.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) This invention relates to a foot comfort machine, and more specifically, to a device that stimulates the soles of the feet to relieve various discomfort symptoms and fatigue of the body. Regarding the fast-paced aircraft that was designed to

(Conventional technology) As is generally known, blood flows through the soles of the feet through many large and small blood vessels that are closely related to health, and by stimulating this blood, various unpleasant symptoms can be caused. It can relieve fatigue and activate the functions of various parts.

In order to stimulate the soles of the feet, a method of walking has been used in which a piece of natural green bamboo is cut in half, placed face down on the floor, and stepped on with the feet, but this method requires that the bamboo is not rotating. , and has no protrusions or protrusions on the back side except for the joints, so the position of the feet is sequentially changed so that the part of the sole through which blood flows hits the joints of the road. For some reason, the effect was not exerted unless I stepped on it many times, and I was unable to sufficiently stimulate the part of the sole of the foot where blood flows within the membrane.

Therefore, as a device that sufficiently stimulates the soles of the feet, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 55-21688 and Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 55-166
Publication No. 39 is known. That is, the sole of the foot was placed on the hammer, and the hammer was vibrated or moved up and down in a constant manner to stimulate the sole of the foot.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) By the way, the above-mentioned conventional mallet is vibrated or moved up and down in a constant manner to stimulate the soles of the feet, and the speed matches the natural structure of each organ in the human body. Because there is no such thing, sufficient stimulation is not given.

In addition, even if the stimulation surface of the hammer is made of individual products, such as the hammer tip, hemispherical surface, soft convex surface, or brush surface, it is automatically activated, so when creating each type of hammer surface, I had to stop the operation and do it.

An object of the present invention is to provide sufficient stimulation to the sole of the foot using a rotating part that matches the natural organs of the human body, and to improve the above-mentioned problems. To provide a comfortable foot machine which can easily change the position of the foot and also allows light movement from the arch of the sole of the foot to the fingertips or heel.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides two rows of flexible rollers on which the soles of the feet are placed on a base, and a roller that is provided between the two rows of flexible rollers. One end of the arm member supports a rotating part that stimulates the sole of the foot, and the other end of the arm member is pivotally supported on the base, and the rotating motion is pushed down at a low speed and bounced up instantly. In order to repeat this process, one end of the arm member is provided so that it can freely reciprocate up and down using the other end of the arm member as a fulcrum, thereby constructing a fast-paced aircraft.

Further, the present invention provides the above-mentioned foot comfort machine, wherein the arm member is provided with an elastic member that adjusts the intensity of stimulation given to the sole of the foot.
An adjusting device for adjusting the elastic force of the elastic member is provided at the other end of the arm member, and an operating lever for operating the adjusting device is connected to the adjusting device.

Furthermore, in the above-mentioned fast-paced machine, the rotating part is composed of a rotatable disc, and the periphery of the disc is surrounded by a brush surface.
It is divided into a soft convex surface and a hemispherical surface, and a display section corresponding to each divided surface is provided on the surface of the grip of the operating lever, and the disc is interlocked and connected to the disc in order to rotate the operating lever. It is equipped with a grip.

Further, in the above-mentioned foot-paced machine, the two rows of flexible rollers are provided so as to be rotatable back and forth while the arch of the sole of the foot is placed on the rotary mallet.

(Function) By adopting the quick foot machine of this invention, the base is provided with two rows of flexible rollers on which the soles of the feet are placed.
Arm members are provided between the rows of flexible rollers. Moreover, a rotating part for stimulating the sole of the foot is supported at one end of the arm member, and the other end of the arm member is pivotally supported by the base.

When one end of the arm member is reciprocated up and down using the other end of the arm member as a fulcrum, the rotary part is pushed down at a low speed and a jumping motion of instantly bouncing it up is repeated. As a result, the rotating portion provides sufficient stimulation to the soles of the feet.

Further, the arm member is provided with an elastic member that adjusts the intensity of stimulation applied to the sole of the foot, and an adjustment device that adjusts the elastic force of the elastic member is provided on the other end side of the arm member. Moreover, an operating lever is connected to this adjustment device.

Therefore, by operating the operating lever, the elastic force of the elastic member is adjusted via the adjustment device, and the rotational movement is moved up and down. As a result, the strength of the stimulation given to the soles of the feet by the rotational movement is adjusted.

The rotary motion consists of a rotatable disk, and the circumference of this disk is divided into a brush surface, a soft convex surface, and a hemispherical surface. Moreover, a display section corresponding to each of the divided surfaces is provided on the surface of the handle of the operating lever, and the handle of the operating lever is interlocked and connected to the disk, so you can grasp the operating lever while looking at the display part. When rotated and positioned on each desired surface,
Each surface of the disc in the rotational motion is positioned as the front surface corresponding to each surface, and the optimal stimulation surface of the rotational motion for the sole of the foot is selected without stopping the vertical jumping motion.

With the arch of the sole of the foot placed on the rotary mallet,
Stimulation is applied from the toes to the heel by rotating the rows of flexible rollers back and forth.
