Description

The invention relates to light industry, producing consumer goods cosmetic, dermatological and general therapeutic areas.

Suitable for use in medical cosmetology rooms, in dermatology, in beauty salons, as well as in personal, individual use by citizens. In addition, this device can be used by general practitioners practicing hot foot baths, peeling and foot massage in their work with patients, in the treatment of dry corns and others.

State of the art

A device is known, protected by patent US 2003004442 A1, from 2003. Its author calls his brainchild a device for foot care and their treatment. It offers the user to soak the feet in a bath of water, and then put their feet alternately on the nozzle in the form of an emery stone vibrating in the horizontal direction, as well as a nozzle in the form of a small abrasive roller embedded in the gear head and in the form of a horizontal disk , from which massage segments driven by the internal cam mechanism alternately peep out. The presence of an emery stone and an abrasive roller suggests that some peeling of individual local areas of the skin of the feet can be performed on this device. But these areas are very small and high-quality processing of the foot, these working bodies can not produce. In addition, this invention has a number of disadvantages. The first is the lack of heating water in the bath. Topping up hot water (if necessary) by hand is always fraught with burns to the legs. The second is the lack of a protective casing on vibrating working bodies that carry out peeling, and possibly foot massage. This is a traumatic hazard. And the third is the constructive lack of the possibility of any cleaning or washing of moving working bodies that perform peeling and foot massage. The author, in his description, does not even touch on this topic. This feature of the device makes it unhygienic and harmful to use. When processing human feet, up to one hundred or more grams of the moist mass of the stratum corneum of the skin can exfoliate from them. It very quickly fills all the cavities of moving mechanisms. At the end of the procedure, microorganisms will intensively develop in these cavities, and when all this mass has dried, the device will simply fail.

There is also an invention protected by patent US 6405390 B2, from 2002.

This is also a foot soaking bath with heating. The purpose of the invention claimed by its authors Yu King Quin and Qui Chung is presented in the description: a multifunctional foot spa bath with the function of foot massage using water, bubble, mechanical, vibration and acupuncture methods. The peeling function is not even declared. The authors of the device did not begin to trifle and invested in their device everything that only the modern level of technological development could offer. For example, three electric motors that spin various massage nozzles, blow bubbles and pick up a wave in the bath, a multi-function button for switching massage programs, a display, and body heating. In principle, with great desire, some peeling of the foot can be done on this device. For this, a small rotating disk was provided in the middle part of the structure. But such a working body cannot provide deep and high-quality treatment of the feet. In the best case, they can clean a couple of dried corns. In addition, in this device, there is also such a flaw as the lack of the ability to clean and rinse the mechanical components from the scraped off squamous epithelium that accumulates in them.

Disclosure of invention

The main task of the Irina foot peeling device is the complete cleaning of the human feet (Fig. 1) from corns and generally from any layers of the keratinized epithelium. To do this, the user’s feet are first heated in a bath of water (1), in the most comfortable temperature mode (from 36 ° to 48 ° (50 °). After that, he can put his feet on a special stand (7) in front of devices (Fig. 1, 2) and, carefully, taking into account moderation and precaution, press the problem area of the sole to the rotating abrasive roller (2). The rotation speed of the roller (2), as well as the temperature of heating the water in the bath (1), the user controls (from 1 to 12 r / s) using the remote control (5),.

Replaceable rotating rollers (Fig. 3) are easily pulled out and inserted into the seat socket. They differ from each other in that three of them are designed for abrasive treatment of the foot, with different depths of exposure to the skin, and two for massage (Fig. 3). Therefore, the user can independently choose and independently install a replacement part of the device, and if necessary, replace it with another. During operation of the device, the lower part of the cylindrical surface of the roller, during rotation, is constantly washed by water from the bath. The keratinized epithelium separated from the foot is washed off from the cylinder and falls to the bottom. After the procedure, the device can be easily washed and disinfected. It does not provide for any inaccessible cavities that create difficulties for dignity. processing. The rollers can also be washed in running water and disinfected with special agents.

Claims (1)

The foot care device consists of a water bath, under the bottom of which there is an electric heating element that heats the water, in which the user steams his legs to the height of the lower or middle part of the ankles, and at the level of the upper edge of the front side of the bath there is a platform on which the user places their feet steamed in hot water, a cylindrical replaceable roller with an abrasive or other massaging foot coating rotates in the cavity of this site, the roller is driven by an electric motor and rises above the plane of the platform by about a quarter of the diameter of its end circle and, due to the friction of the cylindrical surface against the user's feet, exfoliates keratinized skin, or massage, depending on which removable roller is installed, while the lower part of the roller comes in contact with the bath water and makes In this way, the user independently regulates self-cleaning from detachments of skin epithelium adhering to it, and the speed of rotation of the platen and the temperature of water heating in the bath are controlled by the user of ice.
