[0002]

[Prior art]

 Traditionally, mainly by Chinese medicine, stimulation of the acupoints on the soles of the foot transmits the good stimulation from the foot to the brain, and commands from the brain are also transmitted to the foot to drive the circulatory function and control a healthy body. It is known that you can do it.

As a tool for this purpose, there are known foot-operated tools typified by half-divided green bamboo, mat-shaped tools with fine resin projections arranged in an upward direction, or motor-driven vibrators. Has been.

For example, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 55-158049, the shoulder pressing part and the sole pressing part are fitted with protrusions having shapes corresponding to the shoulder pressing part and the sole pressing part to obtain a pressure stimulus to the affected part. Further, JP-A-62-217966 discloses that a foot plate is provided with a convex portion and a physical stimulus such as heating or compression is applied to a soil foot portion of the foot to stimulate an acupoint on the sole of the foot. In order to improve the function, in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 61-168828, a rectangular plate having a bottom plate with a rubber plate for non-slip and cushion, and a plastic kamaboko tread plate on the upper surface of the plate.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, most of the above-mentioned stepping devices are made of hard wood, hard rubber, or synthetic resin as a forming material, and these are made into a convex shape or a semicircular shape as a structural material. It was manufactured by integrally molding the curved protrusions.

[0006] Therefore, in such a conventional foot stepping device, since the convex portion for stimulation and the semi-circular curved portion are integrally formed by using a material having a considerable hardness, the portion to be stimulated is stimulated. It is not suitable for acupoint therapy because the contact area with the toes is too hard, and these stimulating projections concentrate on a part of the sole of the foot during the stepping motion, and the stimulation is biased to only one place. Not only does it have the drawback of becoming wet, but it can also be painful, and during long-term use, sweat etc. may adhere to the surface and make it slippery. There was a flaw that could not be said.

Further, as a common point with this type of conventional device, when using the device, it is necessary to purposely go to the place where the device is installed and use it. In the beginning, I used it because of its rarity, but the reality is that it will not be used over time.

Therefore, in this invention, the defect which the conventional acupoint stimulating device for this kind of sole has is improved, and the stimulating device for the sole that is the most suitable for the acupoint therapy for the sole that is effective for all diseases. Is provided.
