Description

{WASHER FOR FOOT}

The present invention relates to a foot washing apparatus capable of washing feet with a motion of both feet in a standing position or a sitting position on a chair, and more particularly, to a foot washing apparatus capable of washing feet with different thicknesses and lengths The present invention relates to a foot washing apparatus which is provided on an upper surface of a base to clean a foot without cleaning the foot with a strong stimulus.

Effective hygiene management, which plays a key role in maintaining a sophisticated movement and balance while lifting the whole body weight in modern people's everyday life, is a very important part of health life. Especially for older people who walk or stand for a long time, or who wear high-heeled shoes, as well as older people whose skin becomes dry due to aging and the stratum corneum is easily generated.

In general, the weight of the foot is locally disturbed by the movement of walking in shoes for a long time, and blood circulation in each part of the foot is disturbed, and repeated stimulation causes keratin and hardened flesh, corn, blister and skin crack. In addition, sweating, lack of ventilation and incomplete washing can cause secondary infections, which can cause serious pain.

Furthermore, for those at risk of complications in which the peripheral blood vessels of the plantar and toe regions are damaged due to senile diseases such as diabetes, when the stratum corneum, which is dead and dead cell layer, is formed in these areas, the risk of fungal or bacterial infections increases, Tissue necrosis or secondary infections in the area of the toes may cause the symptoms to worsen.

Therefore, in this case, removing the dead skin and stratum corneum and maintaining cleanliness, and making the blood circulation smooth through acupressure and massage are effective ingredients for foot care and disease management.

However, in comparison with this situation, it is not easy to clean feet cleanly and to remove keratin, hard flesh, corn, etc. easily and effectively in daily life. The reason for this is that the soles and toes are located farthest from the hand in the body structure, so that the hands can be touched by bending the waist, upper body, and knees, and thus, the operation of effectively cleaning the fine parts between the sole and the toe It is very difficult.

In particular, people with arthritis or excessive obesity in the knees and wrists, such as the waist discs, and elderly people with uncomfortable movements are often painful or impossible at all. In general, the action to wipe the foot requires an extremely difficult posture to maintain the balance of the body, such as lifting the foot or bending the upper body. For this reason, it is known that a considerable part of a falling accident during bathing occurs not only in the elderly or the patient whose flexibility is low, but also in young people, taking such an action and attitude.

The most commonly performed methods for washing feet are by hand, or by tools such as a file, a wader, a porous stone, or even a knife, Removal of the keratin is restricted by the above-mentioned limitations due to the human body structure and the positional characteristics of the feet.

To solve such a problem, Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 10-2006-0117512 discloses one of the techniques related to the conventional foot washing apparatus.

The above-mentioned technique uses a device that operates a motor or a mechanical configuration by using a power source. Since the configuration is complicated and the manufacturing cost is high, it is troublesome to carry and install, .
