Description

Foot massager.

The present invention refers to a foot massager.

Fatigue, tiredness and inappropriate footwear cause the joints of the feet to dilate, yield or Well abandon your natural positions. These alterations they cause severe pain that goes up to the ankles knees, hips and back.

As a result, there are long lists of wait for condition operations such as bunions and fingers hammer. While a patient waits for their operation, doctors prescribe hot baths and exercises to relieve the symptomatology of these conditions, but the progress made using these techniques is very slow.

The present invention aims to give meet a foot massager that will multiply the effects of treatments mentioned above and that contributes to pain relief On foot.

In particular, the present invention consists of  A massager that includes the following:

-

a standing sole;

-

a vibrator comprising a projection in the area of a sole, for foot contact to massage;

-

a vibrator power battery located inside the sole, and

-

a vibrator drive switch.

Preferably, said projection will be located in an area of the sole corresponding to the metatarsal area of the foot. Also preferably, the projection will have a surface rough and / or will have a semiovoid shape.

Also preferably, the sole will comprise a partition perpendicular to it for separation of the big toe from the rest of the toes
jear

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the sole will have an increasing thickness from the area corresponding to the inside of the foot towards the corresponding area towards the outside of the foot This feature favors the correct placement of the Foot for massage. To favor the achievement of it objective, the massager may comprise strips to hold the foot by adjustment to the instep.

As for the switch element, it may implemented by a button or other command, but in a preferred embodiment may comprise a mechanism to perform an electrical contact between the vibrator and the battery that is powered by pressing the said projection, also comprising the spring switch to return the mechanism to its position initial when the projection stops being pressed.

For a better understanding of the invention, attached by way of explanatory example but not limiting, some drawings of embodiments of the present invention.

Figure 1 is a top plan view of an embodiment of massager according to the present invention.

Figure 2 is another top silver view of a massager according to the present invention, with the strips of Foot fixation in open position.

Figure 3 is a side elevation view of the  embodiment shown in figures 1 and 2.

Figure 4 corresponds to Figure 2, having been partially sectioned view to show Internal elements of the massager.

Figure 5 corresponds to Figure 2, having been the sectioned view to show internal elements of the massager.

An example of preferred embodiment of the massager object of the present invention.

The massager shown in the example comprises a sole (1) standing, a vibrator (9) located inside the sole (1) comprising an ovoid and rough projection (4) example, walnut-shaped) that protrudes in the metatarsal area of the foot to be treated. The vibrator (9) of the example shown comprises a mechanical connection (7) and an electrical connection (9) with a battery-motor assembly (6), although the motor of the vibrator could be located below the ledge (4). Set battery-motor is also located inside the sole (1).

The roughness of the projection (4) allows a better Use of massage.

The sole (1) also has a partition (3) perpendicular to it, and that is intended to separate the big toe of the rest of the toes to massage.

Although it has not been shown in the figures, the sole may have an increasing thickness from the area corresponding to the inside of the foot towards the corresponding area the outside of the foot, to help correct foot placement and fingers

Finally, and although it is not appreciated in the figures, the lower zone of the vibrator (9) presents a set of springs and an electrically conductive zone such that when the projection (4) is pressed, it comes into contact with the electrical connection (8), motor running.

In this way, to activate the massager, the patient should only place the foot on the massager and press lightly to activate it. On the other hand, the docks ensure a good contact between the foot to be massaged and the projection of such that there is a good use of massage.

In addition, the example shown has been endowed with a belt with buckle to fix the foot by adjusting to instep.

While the invention has been described with respect  to examples of preferred embodiments, these are not due consider limiting the invention, which will be defined by the broader interpretation of the following claims.
