Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement of a foot bathtub, and more particularly to a foot bathtub that can more efficiently produce the stimulating effect of a hot water jet containing air bubbles and the stimulation effect of the soles of the feet.

That is, the present invention focuses on the feet of the human body and applies various types of stimulation or radiation to the feet in order to recover from fatigue, treat diseases, and maintain health. So-called "acupoints" in Oriental medicine
are present in large numbers in the feet and are closely related to various organs and organs, and it is known that by stimulating the pressure points in the relevant parts, it can be used to relieve fatigue or treat the relevant organs and organs. .

In addition, 60% of the blood in the human body is located in the extremities, and for people who spend a lot of time standing, the organs that are most prone to blood congestion are the feet and legs, and the starting point of aging is the feet. It is also said that

In addition, the feet, which are in a sealed state where the skin cannot breathe for long periods of time due to socks or shoes, or are unnecessarily stylized, are the most prone to dirt, and are subject to the most unnatural effects compared to other organs. The causes of various types of fatigue based on this and the effects on organs are also significant. Despite being such an important organ, they are completely uninterested in their feet.
Complicated and expensive devices have been developed to stimulate the shoulders or back, but for the feet, simple devices such as pine pads or green bamboo stomps have been used to stimulate the feet. Only a device has been developed for that purpose.

The present invention was devised in view of this situation, and is based on a completely new concept of a bathtub exclusively for feet. By applying pine surge, acupressure effect, promotion of blood circulation and skin respiration, and treatment of acupuncture points, the metabolic effect is increased, fatigue recovery and treatment of various diseases are performed. The purpose of the stimulation and air bubbles is to provide a bathtub exclusively for feet that can effectively provide an oxygen supply effect to the skin due to the rows and further stimulate the soles of the feet.

The configuration of the present invention includes a foot storage container that stores hot water inside, air sent from a pump installed inside the base of the foot storage container is guided into the container through a pipe, and Air is stored inside a cylindrical body with an opening at the bottom attached to the toe direction of the container, and is released at the bottom of the air/water mixture storage, which is a cylindrical body with an opening at the bottom that can move up and down and has a float at the top. , a jet generating device for spouting a jet of warm water containing air bubbles for foot stimulation toward the ankle of the stored foot from the opening protrusion of the air/hot water mixture storage section; In other words, on the inner surface of the central part of the foot in the ankle direction, which is housed in the container, there is a protrusion with a substantially semicircular cross section for receiving the jet from the jet generator at the center, branching it, and refluxing it. It protrudes from slightly below the upper edge to the bottom part, and a plurality of protuberances for stimulating the sole of the foot protrude from the bottom. The present invention relates to a bathtub exclusively for feet, which is characterized by having large-diameter protrusions protruding from corresponding parts of both toes for holding the toes and stimulating both toes. The explanation is as follows.

FIG. 1 shows a bathtub exclusively for feet according to the present invention, in which hot water 2 is stored. Reference numeral 3 designates a lid part, and as shown in FIG. 2, far-infrared ray emitting ceramics 4 are attached to the inner surface of the lid part 4 in this embodiment, so that far-infrared radiation irradiation effect is exerted on the foot part 5. In addition, far infrared rays can reach up to 5mm of the skin, warming the body to the core, opening pores, and removing oxidized waste products from the body.
Hot water that has been irradiated with far-infrared rays feels hot to the bather even if the actual water temperature is low, and also promotes blood circulation without putting strain on the heart, etc., and has the necessary metabolic effects and waste removal effects. It has excellent properties such as being able to obtain

6 is a substantially semicircular cross-section protruding from the center of the rear part of the foot bathtub 1 (in the direction of the heel of the stored foot) in order to branch the jet stream at the center and return it in the direction of the arrow in the figure. It is a convex part. Contacting this convex portion 6,
The jet generating device 7, which generates a jet containing branched air bubbles, is attached to the front part of the foot bathtub 1 (in the direction of the stored toes), and as shown in FIG. Opening cylinder 8
An air/water mixture storage section 10 having a float 9 at the top and an open bottom surface that can move freely up and down is housed in the cylindrical body 8. The opening protrusion 11 for blowing out the air/hot water mixture moves up and down within the opening formed in the cylinder 8, and positions the opening protrusion 11 near the upper surface of the room temperature water, so that it may be submerged in the hot water due to a change in the amount of hot water, or It is not exposed above the hot water top surface and is always located at a position almost parallel to the hot water top surface that is most suitable for generating a jet flow.

Reference numeral 12 designates an air supply pipe, one end of which is connected to a pump 15 connected to a plate 14 connected to a vibrator 13 built into the base for vibrating the foot bathtub seat. This pump 15 has a hollow shape with elasticity, and expands and contracts as the plate body 14 swings, and due to this expansion and contraction driving action, the pump 15
The air is sent to the air delivery section formed in the.

The air sent by the pump 15 is heated by passing through the air inlet pipe 12 and the far-infrared emitting ceramic attachment part on the inner surface of the lid part 3, and is then led to the jet generator 7, where it is turned into an air-heated water mixture. By being opened below the storage section 10, a hot water jet containing the above-mentioned air bubbles is applied to the feet from the opening protrusion 11, thereby exerting a stimulating effect.

Reference numeral 16 denotes a protrusion for stimulating the soles of the feet, which is integrally provided on the bottom of the foot bathtub 1 or protrudes by using an adhesive, a fitting means, etc., and is used to stimulate the soles of the feet where there are many "acupoints". be. Alternatively, a large protrusion 17 may be provided protruding from the side near the big toe of the foot, and exercised by pinching this protrusion between the thumb and forefinger, stimulating the foot, especially the toe function. However, the height of the projection may be adjusted according to the formation of the sole of the foot.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the feet can of course enjoy the wave stimulation effect of the jet containing air bubbles, and in particular, in the present invention, the jet containing air bubbles can also be applied to the foot at the rear central part. Because the feet are provided with convex parts for branching and reflux, the entire skin surface can efficiently receive the wave stimulation effect of the jet stream containing air bubbles, and the oxygen supply effect to the skin due to the bursting of air bubbles, resulting in a beautiful skin effect. Of course, bathers can enjoy the metabolic effects along with the aforementioned effects, and the protrusions formed on the bottom of the bathers can stimulate the soles of the feet where "acupoints" are concentrated, which further improves metabolism. This can enhance the effect and, by extension, the fatigue recovery effect. Furthermore, in the case of the present invention, a protrusion is formed between the thumb and forefinger, and the toe movement can be performed by pinching this protrusion.This, combined with the protrusion stimulation to the sole of the foot, further effectively stimulates the foot. The stimulatory effect and metabolic effect can be more effectively exerted.
