Description

Concentration type apparatus for sole acupressure treatment

The present invention relates to a plantar acupressure device, and more particularly, to a concentrated plantar acupressure device that allows acupressure to be achieved by concentrating weight.

Soles are the parts of the body where several points of pressure are connected, such as the palm of the foot.

Accordingly, a number of plantar acupressure devices have been devised and developed.

Most of these acupressure devices form conical or thin cylindrical protrusions at the important acupressure points of the sole of the sole of the foot that touches the sole in order to point a specific part of the sole in the form of points. The protrusions are formed at a uniform frequency, irrespective of the pressure point, so that the user steps on the surface with these protrusions as they move their feet.

In general, however, these devices have a problem that the effect of acupressure can not be sufficiently obtained because these devices form too many protrusions on the sole surface of the sole, or distribute them over the entire sole of the sole.

The present invention is to solve the problems of the conventional plantar pressure device, the object of the present invention is to provide a concentrated plantar pressure device that is easy to manufacture and use, yet can achieve a concentrated acupressure effect.

It is also an object of the present invention to provide a concentrated type foot pressure device that can improve acupressure effect by appropriately and easily changing a part of an element such as a cushioning material in accordance with a user's needs or situation.

In order to achieve the above object, the centralized foot pressure device of the present invention is a panel including a bar or a panel (bar for convenience), which is installed to protrude over the footboard and supports linearly with the footboard in the form of a plate. And a cushioning material covering at least a portion of the scaffold.

Here, linear means not only straight lines, but also curves or partially curved lines. Generally, the panel of the present invention is formed to be long in one direction, which is the width direction of the foot, but here, one direction does not necessarily mean a direction formed by a straight line, and a slightly curved curve may be a direction extending when viewed as a whole. In addition, when referring to the direction in the following for the convenience of the longitudinal direction of the foot in the longitudinal direction, the width direction of the foot in the transverse direction, the thickness direction of the foot in the thickness direction or up and down direction.

When the device of the present invention is viewed side by side in the longitudinal direction, the line formed by the top of the panel along the transverse direction, that is, along the width direction of the foot, may form a curve along the transverse angle of the foot, or may be a horizontal straight line. . At this time, the lower part of the panel is buried by the thickness of the cushioning material, and the upper part of the panel protrudes over the uncompressed cushioning material so that when the user puts his feet, the weight may be carried on this part.

In the present invention the cushioning material is placed on the scaffold to cover at least a portion of the scaffold. At this time, the cushioning material may be made of a removable form from the footrest, in this case, the cushioning material may be used while being made of a plurality of different materials or different thicknesses are replaced with each other. For example, if the cushioning material is soft and has a high elasticity, it is possible to reduce the projecting height of the panel projecting over the cushioning material, and to increase the projecting height if the cushioning material is relatively hard. If a thick cushioning material is mounted in a state where the panel height is constant, the height of the panel protruding over the upper surface of the cushioning material will be small, and if the thinner cushioning material is mounted, the height of the protruding panel will be large.

In the present invention, the cushioning material may be manufactured in a separate form to cover the scaffolding area divided into two parts by the panel, and the separated two parts of the cushioning material may be manufactured in different thicknesses or materials. On the contrary, the cushioning material may be made integrally to cover the whole scaffold including the panel from above, and in this case, the cushioning material may be manufactured to have different thicknesses for each part by molding. In particular, in the panel portion, the cushioning material may be formed to have a groove into which the panel is fitted.

On the other hand, in the present invention, both ends of the panel in the width direction is increased in height can be made acupressure for the outer surface of the foot striking thereon.

In addition, the thickness of the cushioning material at the periphery of the scaffold of the present invention to thicken or to a hard material when the user walks in the form of walking or running form when the foot is off from the center portion may naturally be the user's foot in the center.

Since more pressure is applied to the driving, the height of the protrusion of the panel is lowered, the elasticity of the cushioning material is relatively small and rigid, and the height of the protrusion is high for the walking, and the cushioning material may be the elasticity and the softness.

When the panel protrudes over the cushioning material, the top of the panel is formed to be chamfered or have a gentle curvature curve at the part consisting of the corners of the sole of the sole and the closing top surface so that the sole is not damaged even if the weight is concentrated when the sole is placed. It is preferable.

In the present invention, the sole is placed on the panel to cross the sole, and the weight is concentrated on the sole of the sole of the panel while the user walks or moves in place while the user stands on the panel. When moving from above, the cushioning material does not carry much pressure, but it balances the rest of the foot to make it easier to balance the entire body.

In the present invention, the body pressure is concentrated on a part of the foot while moving the foot, and the effect of the acupressure can be achieved. In addition, the part on which the panel is placed is usually easy to be a concave part of the longitudinal calf of the foot, especially the metatarsal area. In this case, it is also possible to release the muscles formed by the species in the metatarsal region to restore the foot fatigue.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 and 2, the lower portion of the acupressure apparatus has a foot plate 110 in the form of a rectangular flat plate, and in the middle of the foot plate 110, a plate-shaped panel that traverses the foot plate 110 in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction ( 120). The lower part of the panel 120 has a protrusion 124, the footrest 110 has a groove 114 corresponding to the protrusion 124 is fixed to each other by being fitted into the groove 114. Of course, the panel may be fixed to the scaffold in other ways, the scaffold may be in the form of oval or other shape considering the shape of the sole in addition to the rectangular shape. The upper end of the panel 120 forms a narrow strip surface that the sole directly touches when viewed from above.

The top surface 127 of the panel 120 may simply form a horizontal horizontal line without bending when viewed with the longitudinal direction of the scaffold 110, but along the transverse direction, in other forms, for example, as shown. May be a convex, up and down curved line. In addition, when the line of sight is viewed from the top to the bottom in the thickness direction, the top surface may extend in a straight line in the transverse direction, but may have a slightly convex curve toward the front of the foot to form a shape similar to the transverse arch line of the foot.

 In this embodiment, both transverse portions 121 of the top surface 127 form a low horizontal line, and the central portion 123 is curved like a convex arc upward.

In addition, when the top surface 127 of the panel 120 is viewed in the horizontal direction, the edge where the top surface 127 of the panel 120 and the two side surfaces 128 of the panel come into contact with each other, as shown in an enlarged portion of the drawing. The portions 129 are chamfered or curvatured so as to meet in a smooth curve so that the feet placed thereon are not damaged by sharp edges.

The scaffold 110 and the panel 120 are hardly deformed even under pressure, and are made of a rigid body such as hardly stretched wood, synthetic resin, or metal plate, and the panel 120 is in contact with the sole of the foot, thereby causing damage to the skin. Use it smoothly so that it does not go.

On the other hand, the buffer member 130 is installed on the upper surface of the footrest 110 divided in two in the longitudinal direction by the panel 120 in this embodiment. The cushioning material 130 is also made of a flat plate shape like the foot plate 110, and unlike the foot plate 110, the rubber or foamed urethane is reduced in thickness when pressure is applied, and the thickness is restored to its original state when the pressure is removed. It is made of elastic material. The lower surface of the buffer member 130 has a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, which is not separately shown, and can be detached by applying a force if necessary, but may be attached so as not to easily fall off from the upper surface of the scaffold 110 with a small force.

In this embodiment, the thickness of the buffer member 130 is formed to be equal to the height of both lower parts 121 of the panel 120 so that both parts 121 of the panel are between the buffer member 130 without the user being raised. Only the center portion 123 of the panel 120 protrudes convexly over the buffer member 130.

In this embodiment, when the user climbs over the device, the buffer 130 is reduced in thickness due to pressure, so that the weight of the user is concentrated on the panel top surface 127 around the panel 120. The upper middle portion 123 of the panel top surface 127 is in contact with the central portion of each pair of soles, convex and concave inwardly viewed from below, and the lower both sides 121 have outer portions of the central portion of each sole. By placing the foot so that it touches, the user's weight is concentrated on the part where the panel top surface 127 touches, and the pressure on the sole of the foot that contacts the panel top surface 127 is achieved.

The user may not only stand on the foot of the chiropractic device of the present invention including the panel 120, but also walk on the foot, stand on one foot, or, in some cases, lightly sit in place.

The shock absorber 130 can be easily detached and replaced, and when the shock absorber 130 is prepared, a few shock absorbers 130 having different thicknesses or elasticities are prepared, and an appropriate shock absorber 130 is selected and attached. The user can stand, walk or run while adjusting the pressure felt.

At this time, the cushioning material does not carry a great pressure on the cushioning material when the user stands on the panel or moves on the panel, but it is easy to balance the whole body by supporting the other parts of the sole in a balanced manner.

3 is an exploded perspective view showing another embodiment of the present invention, and when compared with the embodiment of FIG. 2, the upper surface of the panel 220 is viewed along the transverse direction when the eyes are viewed in the longitudinal direction of the scaffold 210. The curved portion formed in the middle portion 223 protrudes in a convex upward curve, and both portions 221 form a relatively concave portion, and both ends 225 are convexly raised.

Both ends of the raised panel come into contact with the outer surface of the sole when the user releases the foot to effectively press the part.

In addition, the shock absorbing material 230 is also formed at both sides of the transverse peripheral portion 235 of the scaffold 210 so that both ends of the horizontal curve formed by the upper end of the panel 220 is formed thick, and the same thickness in the remaining portion flat. Formed.

In this acupressure device formed thickly by rising both ends of the shock absorbing material in the footrest when walking or running with the foot on the foot, both sides of the transverse direction 235 is in a high state, so that the foot naturally moves from the periphery around the transverse direction to the center. This can prevent the foot from moving off the footboard without stopping the exercise.

In addition, in this embodiment, since the center portion 223 protrudes most transversely from the top of the panel 220, the acupressure effect on the sole inner pressure points can be enhanced as compared to the top of the panel which is simply flat in the transverse direction.

In addition, in such an embodiment, when the line of sight is viewed in the longitudinal direction, the curve formed by the upper end of the panel 220 in the transverse direction becomes a shape along the transverse arch of the sole, so that the center portion of the sole in the longitudinal direction of the sole is evenly distributed when the user uses it. 220) can reach the top, and along with the acupressure effect to stimulate the muscles mainly in the soles of the metatarsal bones to enjoy a lot of massage effect to relieve fatigue.

4 is another embodiment of the present invention, and the cushioning material 330 is integrally formed to cover the panel 320 without being separated by the panel 320. Compared to the previous embodiment, the footrest 310 is shorter in the longitudinal direction and only has a length enough to support the panel 320 standing vertically, and the cushioning material 330 includes the panel 320 and the entire footrest 310. To cover, and extends further to the longitudinal outer side of the footrest 310 is made so that the entire foot of the user can be placed. The lower surface of the buffer member 330 is provided with a groove 324 along the contour of the panel 320 and the footrest 310 to accommodate the panel 320 and the entire footrest 310.

In this embodiment, all of the top of the panel 320 is covered with a buffer 330. The cushioning material 330 is compressed when the user's foot is placed, but the panel 320 is not compressed, so that the user's load is concentrated on the panel 320, which is the same as the previous embodiment, but the direct contact with the sole surface is directly at the top of the panel 320. Rather than the buffer member 330 protruding above the portion.

This embodiment can reduce the size of the footrest 310 and the panel 320, the cushioning material 330 is folded or rolled with a soft stretch material can also be reduced in size, so that it is convenient to carry and move, You can put your foot in a small bag and massage your soles anywhere.

Although not shown here, the scaffold and panel are made of metal plates, and when not in use, the panel can be folded into a plane parallel to the scaffolding by using a hinge structure, and in use, the panel is fixed while protruding from the scaffold. It can be used more easily because it can reduce volume during storage or transport.

5 is a schematic plan view from above of another embodiment of the present invention;

In this embodiment, the overall shape of the footrest 410 is not rectangular, but close to the shape (dotted line) of the foot placed thereon, and the shape of the panel 420 is also convex upward while the center portion 423 is convex upward. The center portion 423 is convex toward the front of the foot and both ends form a curved shape toward the back of the foot, so that the shape is similar to the cross arch curve of the foot.

In oriental medicine, each part of the foot is considered to be connected to each part of the human body, and the chiropractic device of the present invention can increase the effect of acupressure by intensively pressing only a specific part of the foot at one point in time. If you keep acupressure for a certain period of time with the acupressure device, move your foot from the bottom of the foot to the top of the foot on the top of the protruding panel, and perform acupressure as if you were doing a full body scan while examining the human body with an MRI device. From the upper part of the nerve to the central to the central direction evenly, and even in the direction of the stimulation it is possible to obtain the effect of stimulating and activating the whole body most efficiently.
