The present invention relates to a foot acupressure device, and more particularly, a handle that can be held with both hands is provided, and as the handle is moved, the foot acupressure is made using the principle of a lever, so that the force when performing the foot acupressure It's about a foot acupressure that makes lifting less.

The history of the foot health method can be found in China about 4,000 years ago, and even at that time, it is said that, in addition to acupuncture, the disease of the human body was controlled with a method of massaging the blood circulation in the soles of the feet. In other words, the fact that foot acupressure can not only prevent health but also treat it has been handed down in human history thousands of years ago, so it is a well-known fact that foot acupressure is becoming a medicine.

In addition, the foot is referred to as the second heart and is diagnosed as an important part of the human body. And this Chinese foot medicine has been transmitted to Europe, and foot health laws exist in Europe today as well. And, the importance of foot health care and treatment is being recognized not only in Europe but also in the United States.

That is, the sole of the foot is a mirror of the human body, or a miniature version of the internal organs. In oriental medicine that relieves fatigue with acupressure on the soles of the feet, when there is a problem in any organ inside the body, a signal appears on the sole of the foot. So, the sole is considered as a diagnostic tool for disease or as a point of treatment, and a health treatment called the sole stimulation method has also appeared, and various physical devices and shoes for this purpose have been commercialized, which is creating a considerable boom.

On the other hand, in the Republic of Korea Utility Model Registration No. 20-0274497, "In a general foot acupressure bar, the foot acupressure bar is an injection-molded synthetic resin containing natural jade stone powder, and forms a number of annular protrusions on its outer surface, and an axial groove at the top. Provides a foot acupressure rod, characterized in that forming a magnet and inserting a magnet into the groove."

In addition, in the Republic of Korea Utility Model Registration No. 20-0401325, "a rod made of a wood material, a silver coating layer is formed on the surface, a binder is formed on the handles at both ends, and a groove having a trapezoidal cross section in the central part is formed in the longitudinal direction; A bar formed in a trapezoidal cross section to match the groove of the bar, a spring inserted into a hole at the base of the groove to provide an elastic force to the bar, a silver protrusion having an arrowhead-shaped jaw to be fastened to the bar, a magnet protrusion; A fastening ring formed to be fastened to the end of the groove to fix the bar, a plurality of coupling members formed at regular intervals to respectively correspond to the coupling material of the acupressure rod, a buffer pad respectively formed under the coupling member, and each buffer pad It provides a combination of acupressure rods, characterized in that the plate for mounting acupressure rods made of a support plate formed to simultaneously support the lower part of the acupressure rod.

However, the above technique does not deviate from the conventional foot acupressure method that requires effort to perform foot acupressure by lifting force by hand or to rub the foot by turning it. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an effective foot acupressure device in order to enjoy the effort that inevitably has to be exerted when acupressure is applied to the feet.

That is, a protrusion is formed in the "acupressure part 1 (50) and the acupressure part 2 (60)", and a groove is formed in the coupling part 40 (or the part where the acupressure part 1 (50) and the acupressure part 2 (60) are coupled). (coupled to the protrusion) is formed.

On the other hand, a groove is formed in the "acupressure part 1 (50) and the acupressure part 2 (60)", and a protrusion is formed on the coupling part 40 (or the part where the acupressure part 1 (50) and the acupressure part 2 (60) are coupled). (coupled to the groove) is formed.

In addition, there is a thread in the projection and the groove, so that screw coupling is possible.

7 to 9 are diagrams of the embodiment showing the acupressure unit 1.

7 is an acupressure unit 1 (50) that serves as a foot acupressure, and FIGS. 8 and 9 are views of an embodiment showing the size of the acupressure protrusion 51 in the acupressure unit 1 (50).

8, as shown in FIGS. 9 (A) and 9 (B), the size of the acupressure protrusion 51 may be different.

In addition, the foot acupressure device 100 of the present invention uses both hands, and a "space slightly smaller than the width of a normal person's shoulder" is suitable for the space in which both hands are moved. Therefore, in the foot acupressure device 100 shown in FIG. 5, the width W of the foot acupressure device 100 preferably does not exceed 30 cm.

And, the width (W) of 30cm of the foot acupressure device 100 is the standard, and the value of the length (L) of the acupressure part 1 ( 50 ) and the acupressure protrusion ( 51 ) is determined. Therefore, the total length of the acupressure part 1 (50) (the distance between "L" and "M" in FIG. 8) is preferably within 10 cm, which is 1/3 of the width W. (FIG. 1 is a foot acupressure device As a diagram showing a natural state in which no force is applied to (100), the acupressure part 1 (50) and the acupressure part 2 (60) in the state of FIG. 1 preferably exist in a spaced apart state from each other.)

On the other hand, the minimum value of the width (W) of the foot acupressure device 100 is 10cm, which is a degree that the side of the foot can enter naturally. And, in this case, the total length of the acupressure part 1 (50) is preferably 3.3 cm.

As a result, the width (W) of the foot acupressure device is preferably 10 cm to 30 cm in size, and the total length (L + M) of the acupressure part 1 (50) is preferably 3.3 cm to 10 cm in size.

8 is a view showing the distance of the acupressure projection (51). Acupressure projections 51 should be at least 1/3 of the total length of the acupressure part 1 (50). And, since the minimum size of the acupressure part 1 (50) is 3.3 cm, it can be said that the minimum size of the acupressure protrusion is 1.1 cm.

And, it is possible to make the length of the acupressure protrusion 51 larger than that of the support part 54 as shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B. That is, it can be enlarged up to the full length of the acupressure part. At this time, although the support part 54 is partially present in (B) of FIG. 9, it is also possible to design in a form in which the support part 54 does not exist and only the acupressure protrusion 51 exists. Therefore, the maximum length of the acupressure protrusion can be up to 10cm. Therefore, the size of the acupressure projection 51 is possible from 1.1 cm to 10 cm.

10 and 11 are views of another embodiment of the acupressure unit 1.

In the embodiment of FIG. 7 , one acupressure protrusion 51 is present in the acupressure part 1 ( 50 ), but in FIGS. 10 and 11 , a plurality of acupressure protrusions 51 may exist in the acupressure part 1 ( 50 ) in FIGS. At least 3 or more can be considered to be effective in acupressure.

In the embodiment of Figure 10, the tip of the acupressure projection 51 is a curved surface, but in the embodiment of Figure 11, it is sharp with information that is almost close to a point. That is, the shape of the acupressure protrusion 51 may vary.
