Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for holding a limb such as foot or hand in a liquid environment allowing heat treatment in common trauma of the limbs (foot, ankle, wrist, hand).
- Sports medicine recommends during a sprain or muscle injury, in first aid, the immediate and prolonged application (30 minutes) of cold to prevent the bursting of blood vessels associated with the injury this allowing to limit the hematoma produced and , thereby, the consequences of the trauma.
- the beneficial action of heat accelerates healing.
- the injured sportsman benefits, in the best of cases and temporarily. the effects of a cold bomb then returned to the locker room. How could he just leave his injured foot in cold water? A bucket - consequent diameter required -, the sink - uncomfortable position -, under the shower - hot water - ... Consequently, the injured person cannot take care of himself immediately and unwittingly deteriorates the condition of his injury.
- the slightest movement of the foot is painful: care must therefore be taken to limit their number and their amplitude, no twisting being especially possible.
- the device according to the invention makes it possible to remedy this situation. To this end, it comprises, according to a first characteristic, two limb molds such as symmetrical and built-in feet.
- the two molds can be connected by a hinge (at the end of the foot) or two hinges (under the foot).
- the built-in parts can be bevelled to facilitate joining.
- One of the two molds may have laterally, at its base and oriented towards the ground, an orifice dedicated to the flow of the liquid at the end of the bath.
- the insole can be lined with small crampons to allow self-massage of the arch.
- Figure 1 shows a view of the interior of the open device of the invention.
- Figure 2 shows in section the device of the active invention seen from the front.
- Figure 3 shows in section the device of the active invention seen from behind.
- Figure 4 shows the device of the active invention seen from above.
- FIG. 5 represents the device of the active invention seen from the side.
- the device comprises two limb molds such as a symmetrical and recessed foot or hand.
- the limb concerned is placed delicately in the left mold (1) on which the right mold (2) naturally closes using two hinges (3) located in the base or sole. Installation is facilitated by the bevelled shapes of the two molds, one female (5) and the other male (6).
- a seal (4) provided in the female part (5) of the left mold, ensures when closing the male part (6) of the right mold, the tightness required for the device, two tensioners (7), one in front, the other behind, reinforce the sealing of the block by securing on anchor points (8) arranged on either side of the junction.
- An easily accessible screw (10) allows the opening and closing of a conduit (12) provided laterally at the level of the base or sole of the straight mold and inclined downward relative thereto to facilitate the flow of the liquid after bathing.
- a seal (11) interposed between the head of the screw (10) and the external face of the mold concerned makes the said conduit (12) hermetic: The foot is thus found, laid flat and without contortion, in a - 3 -
- the device according to the invention is particularly intended for athletes to reduce the post-traumatic consequences - by cold - and to accelerate healing - by heat - of their injury to the lower limb (foot, ankle), or upper (wrist) , hand)
- this device allows them to follow the end of the meeting - significant psychological effect - while initiating the treatment of trauma.
- the device is suitable by extension for anyone adopting conventional or homeopathic medical treatments by foot baths (heavy legs, plantar warts, etc.).
- foot baths heavy legs, plantar warts, etc.
- it is suitable for people, young or old, wishing to benefit from the relaxing virtues of a simple foot bath, comfortably outside a bathroom (in front of the television for example).
