Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a displacement-resistant sole-supporting footstool
  • a footstool is normally used by a person to support the feet by using the back of the heels and or an area all the way up to the back of the calves as a point or points of contact with the supporting surface of the footstool.
  • a footstool of this type is described in WO 2007/049970 A .
  • An alternative way of supporting the feet is to use the soles as the point or points of contact with a supporting surface, which - especially if slightly angled so that the toes are higher than the heels - can help to minimize slouching.
  • the supporting surface that the soles are being pushed against is of considerable stability, for example it is fixed to the floor-or a wall, is of an abnormally heavy weight or is connected to the seat that the person is sitting on, the forces that are generated by the weight of the feet and a proportion of the weight of the legs plus any additional foot-pushing forces will displace the supporting surface away from the person and resulting in the soles losing contact with the supporting surface.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a free-standing footstool of normal weight which can be used to support the soles of the feet.
  • the invention provides a displacement-resistant footstool as claimed in Claim 1
  • the displacement-resistant footstool is one in which the connecting means rebounds to its initial position when the footstool is not in use.
  • the partial instability of the sole-supporting surface is horizontal instability, or vertical instability.
  • the partial instability is rotational instability.
  • the downward travel of the sole-supporting surface may be adjustable.
  • the connecting means is a springing means such as compressions springing means or suspension springing means and including nested springing means.
  • the connecting means is springing means on a sloped platform.
  • the connecting means is a combination of hinging means and springing means.
  • the springing means may be a torsion springing means, compression springing means or suspension springing means.
  • the connecting means is a combination of shafting means and clock springing means.
  • the connecting means is a gas cylinder means.
  • the distance between the sole-supporting surface and the floor is adjustable.
  • the sole-supporting surface may be wide enough for at least 2 persons to use it.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of one possible way of constructing the invention, comprising a footstool 1 that consists of a rotationally unstable sole-supporting surface 2 that consists of an upholstered panel 2a and lever arms 2b; a ground-supported base 3 that consists of a platform 3a and rubber feet 3b; and connecting means 4 that is hidden underneath a safety guard 4c that has slots 4d for lever arms 2b to move freely through.
  • a footstool 1 that consists of a rotationally unstable sole-supporting surface 2 that consists of an upholstered panel 2a and lever arms 2b
  • a ground-supported base 3 that consists of a platform 3a and rubber feet 3b
  • connecting means 4 that is hidden underneath a safety guard 4c that has slots 4d for lever arms 2b to move freely through.
  • Figure 2 is a diagrammatic section of the same footstool as in Figure 1 , and illustrates the connecting means 4 that consists of a limited-travel hinge 4a that only allows a travel of approximately 30° as indicated by reference number 5a, and compression springing means 4b. Also illustrated in Figure 2 is the angle at which the bottoms of lever arms 2b are bent (permanently) which is approximately 30°, as illustrated by reference number 2b'. The initial angle of the sole-supporting surface in relation to the floor is approximately 60° as indicated by reference number 5b, which is the angle at which the soles touch the sole-supporting surface on first contact.
  • Figure 3 is a diagrammatic section of the same footstool as in Figures 1 and 2 , but with the person's feet 6 in contact with the sole-supporting surface 2 that is shown at its downward resting angle, which is approximately 30[deg.] in relation to the floor, as indicated by reference number 5c.
  • the invention can also be manufactured using a variety of manufacturing techniques including multi-segment/function moulded plastics, foam or rubber.

  12. Repose-pieds résistant au déplacement (1) conforme à la revendication 1, dans lequel la distance entre la surface de support de semelles et le sol est réglable.
  13. Repose-pieds résistant au déplacement (1) conforme à la revendication 1, dans lequel la surface de support de semelles (4) est assez large pour être utilisée par au moins deux personnes, ou dans lequel il existe deux surfaces de support de semelles séparées pour qu'au moins deux personnes les utilisent séparément.
