Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention relates to a health promotion device, specifically a footbath device used in a footbath health method.

(Prior Art) The so-called foot bath health method, in which a deep bucket or other suitable container is filled with hot water and the feet are immersed in it, has been tried by many people as it is considered to be highly effective in improving health.

(Issues to be solved) However, with this conventional method, it is inevitable that the water temperature will drop after a certain amount of time, and in order to maintain the water temperature, it is necessary to take measures such as adding more boiling water. The immersion process also had to be stopped, which was very inconvenient.

This invention aims to solve the above-mentioned conventional inconveniences regarding the footbath health method, and it is a footbath that does not cause the water temperature to drop during use and allows the footbath health method to be practiced easily whenever necessary. The purpose is to provide equipment.

(Means for Solving the Problems) This invention is a watertight container 1 that is deep enough for the user's knees to fit in, and has an open top surface. The above problem can be solved by installing a footrest 2 and installing a heater 3, a foam board 5, and a far-infrared radiation element 7 between the inner bottom surface 6 and the footrest 2, respectively, to construct a footbath. It is something to do.

(Function) Fill the container with water, turn on the heater and heat the water for 40 minutes.
Heat it to a suitable temperature of about ℃ and soak your feet in it. Then, the feet are warmed by this heated water (hot water) and the foot bath health method is realized.

At this time, medicinal herbs or bath additives may be added to the water, and if these are used together, a great synergistic effect can be expected.
Since the water is constantly heated by the heater, the temperature of the water does not drop during use, and the footbath can be continued without the need to replenish hot water.

In addition, fine air bubbles are generated from the foam disc to stimulate the feet, and far-infrared rays are used to provide heat therapy.

(Embodiment) FIG. 1 is a sectional view of an embodiment of a footbath device according to this invention.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 is a watertight container with an open top and a depth that is deep enough to reach below the user's knees. is positioned below the footrest 2, and a heater 3 is attached below the footrest 2. The temperature of this heater 3 can be varied by a temperature regulator 4 attached to the outer surface of the container 1.

8 in the figure is an adjustment knob of the temperature regulator 4.

Further, a foam board 5 that generates fine air bubbles is installed below the footrest 2, and a far-infrared radiation element 7 that emits far-infrared rays is installed.

In addition, 9 in the figure is an air pump that sends air to the foam board 5.

(Effects of the invention) The footbath device according to this invention has the configuration as described above, and since the water in which the feet are immersed is constantly heated by the heater, the temperature of the water decreases with prolonged use. By appropriately adjusting the temperature, the footbath health method can be carried out at the optimal temperature. In addition, when using foam discs, the soles of the feet are exposed to fine air bubbles, which can be expected to stimulate the feet and provide a pine surge effect and cleaning effect due to the ultrasonic waves generated when the bubbles collide. Furthermore, far-infrared rays can also be expected to provide a thermotherapeutic effect, which will bring about an even greater synergistic effect.

In this way, this footbath device allows the footbath health method to be carried out extremely easily, and has excellent effects that can contribute to improving the health of the user.
