Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of footrests, and in particular to an adjustable footrest. Background Technology

[0002] In modern home and office environments, people are increasingly focused on comfort during work and rest. However, maintaining a seated posture for extended periods can easily lead to muscle soreness in the lower back and legs. For those whose feet cannot touch the ground, this can even result in lower back strain and aches and pains caused by overuse of the thigh and calf muscles. Footrests alleviate these problems by providing leg support, thereby reducing pressure on the spine and related leg muscles. However, because everyone's preferred support height and angle for footrests differ, traditional fixed-height footrests, while offering some comfort, require users to frequently adjust their posture when faced with chairs or desks of varying heights, impacting work and rest efficiency. Furthermore, fixed footrests cannot provide adequate support for users of different heights, failing to meet the needs of all users.

[0003] Therefore, based on the above-stated viewpoints, there is still room for improvement in existing footrests. Utility Model Content

[0008] Preferably, during the rotation adjustment of the pedal relative to the connecting frame, the first guide member rotates and slides along the connecting slide groove, and the second guide member rotates and slides along the guide slide groove, and the whole is deflected about the first guide member as the axis.

[0009] Preferably, the guide groove on the same connecting frame extends inclined or horizontally towards the connecting groove and has several stop grooves, which are adapted to the second guide member.

[0010] Preferably, the connecting groove on the same connecting frame extends a section toward the guide groove to allow the sliding movement of the first guide member.

[0011] Preferably, at least a portion of the stop grooves on the same connecting frame are higher than the connecting slide groove.

[0012] Preferably, the first guide member includes a cylindrical rod and a rotating block that are inserted into the connecting groove for limiting. While the cylindrical rod slides within the connecting groove, it also rotates relative to the connecting groove.

[0013] Preferably, the second guide member also includes a circular rod and a locking block confined within the guide groove and the stop groove, the cylindrical rod and the locking block sliding and deflecting relative to the guide groove.

[0014] Preferably, the connecting groove, the stop groove, and the guide groove are configured in a stepped shape corresponding to the cylindrical rod and the rotating block, as well as the circular rod and the locking block.

[0015] Preferably, the pedal is provided with a plurality of friction parts evenly distributed on it.

[0016] Preferably, the pedal is further provided with a plurality of massage rollers.

[0017] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0018] I. This utility model, through the cooperation between the connecting frame, pedal, first guide member and second guide member, enables the pedal to be angled and adjusted relative to the horizontal plane according to the user's needs.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 8 The embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below.

[0030] This application discloses an adjustable footstool, which can be adjusted in angle according to the user's own needs to meet the different usage requirements of different users.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an adjustable footstool includes:

[0032] There are two connecting frames 1, which are symmetrically spaced. Connecting frames 1 are provided with connecting slides 10 and guide slides 11 at intervals.

[0033] The pedal 12 is located between the two connecting frames 1. The pedal 12 is allowed to rotate and slide relative to the connecting slide 10, thereby changing the tilt angle of the pedal 12 relative to the horizontal plane.

[0034] The first guide member 13 and the second guide member 14 are symmetrically positioned on both sides of the pedal 12 and are respectively connected to the connecting groove 10 and the guide groove 11. The two sides of the pedal 12 are respectively connected to the connecting groove 10 and the guide groove 11 on the two connecting frames 1 by the first guide member 13 and the second guide member 14.

[0035] When in use, the user places their foot on the pedal 12 and drives the first guide 13 and the second guide 14 on both sides of the pedal 12 to slide and deflect with the connecting slide groove 10 and the guide slide groove 11 on the two connecting frames 1. This achieves the effect of adjusting the angle of the pedal 12 relative to the horizontal plane, thereby meeting the adjustment needs of different users and making it easier and more convenient for users to place their feet on the pedal 12.

[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 3As shown, during the rotation adjustment of the footrest 12 relative to the connecting frame 1, the first guide member 13 rotates and slides along the connecting slide groove 10, and the second guide member 14 rotates and slides along the guide slide groove 11. The entire structure deflects around the first guide member 13 as an axis. In use, the footrest 12, the first guide member 13, and the second guide member 14 are adjusted by deflection around the first guide member 13 as an axis. This allows the user to adjust the angle of the footrest 12 without having to exert much effort. With just a slight force, the footrest 12 can rotate and adjust along the predetermined trajectory of the guide slide groove 11 and the connecting slide groove 10. Moreover, the limiting and guiding of the first guide member 13 and the second guide member 14 by the connecting slide groove 10 and the guide slide groove 11 ensures the stability of the footrest 12 during the adjustment process, preventing wobbling or deviation. This effectively improves the user's comfort and sense of security when using the footrest. Even after long-term use, there is no need to worry about the angle adjustment of the footrest 12 malfunctioning or becoming unstable, greatly improving the practicality and durability of the adjustable footrest.

[0037] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the guide groove 11 on the same connecting frame 1 extends inclined or horizontally towards the connecting groove 10 with a number of stop grooves 110. The stop grooves 110 are adapted to the second guide member 14. By setting a number of stop grooves 110, multiple fixed angles and fixed positions can be provided for the deflection of the second guide member 14 and the pedal 12, so that the user can fix the pedal 12 and the second guide member 14 at a specific angle according to their own needs.

[0038] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the connecting groove 10 on the same connecting frame 1 extends towards the guide groove 11 to allow the sliding movement of the first guide member 13. Through the extended portion of the connecting groove 10, during the angle adjustment process of the second guide member 14 and the pedal 12 disengaging from either of the stop grooves 110, the first guide member 13 is also driven to rotate and slide synchronously in coordination with the second guide member 14. This not only provides ample space for the sliding of the first guide member 13 but also further enhances the flexibility of the entire adjustment structure. This ensures that the first guide member 13 can move smoothly within the connecting groove 10 when the pedal 12 is adjusted at different angles, and the cooperation with the second guide member 14 is more stable, ensuring that the adjustable footrest maintains good working performance in various adjustment states.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, at least a portion of the stop grooves 110 on the same connecting frame 1 are higher than the connecting slide groove 10. In use, when the second guide member 14 enters the stop grooves 110 at different heights, it can generate different degrees of height difference, providing users with more intuitive feedback and making it easier for users to accurately perceive the fixed angle position of the pedal 12.

[0040] Reference Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the first guide member 13 includes a cylindrical rod 130 and a rotating block 131 that are limited and inserted into the connecting groove 10. While the cylindrical rod 130 slides in the connecting groove 10, the cylindrical rod 130 also rotates relative to the connecting groove 10.

[0041] Reference Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the second guide member 14 also includes a circular rod 140 and a locking block 141 confined within the guide groove 11 and the stop groove 110, and the cylindrical rod 130 and the locking block 141 slide and deflect relative to the guide groove 11.

[0042] When adjusting the overall tilt angle of the pedal 12 during use, first slide the pedal 12, cylindrical rod 130, rotating block 131, circular rod 140, and locking block 141 towards the guide groove 11. This allows the circular rod 140 and locking block 141 to disengage from one of the stop grooves 110 and slide into the guide groove 11. At the same time, the cylindrical rod 130 and rotating block 131 also slide synchronously along the connecting groove 10 towards the connecting groove 10, allowing the circular rod 140 and locking block 141 to disengage from the stop groove 110, thus completing the adjustment of the circular rod 140 and locking block 141. After the locking block 141 disengages from one of the stop grooves 110, it drives the pedal 12, the cylindrical rod 130, the rotating block 131, the circular rod 140, and the locking block 141 to deflect around the cylindrical rod 130 as an axis, thereby adjusting the angle of the pedal 12. Then, it drives the pedal 12, the cylindrical rod 130, the rotating block 131, the circular rod 140, and the locking block 141 to slide and reset in a direction away from the guide groove 11, so that the circular rod 140 and the locking block 141 slide into the other stop groove 110, thereby completing the limiting and fixing effect of the adjusted pedal 12 as a whole.

[0043] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the connecting slide groove 10, the stop groove 110 and the guide slide groove 11 are set in a stepped shape corresponding to the cylindrical rod 130 and the rotating block 131, as well as the circular rod 140 and the locking block 141, to limit the cylindrical rod 130 and the rotating block 131, as well as the circular rod 140 and the locking block 141, and to prevent the cylindrical rod 130 and the rotating block 131, as well as the circular rod 140 and the locking block 141 from disengaging during rotation and sliding, thereby ensuring the stability of the pedal 12 angle adjustment.

[0044] Reference Figure 8As shown, a plurality of friction parts 15 are evenly arranged on the pedal 12 to increase the friction between the user's foot and the pedal 12, improve the stability when the user places their foot, and prevent slipping from affecting the user experience.

[0045] Reference Figure 8 As shown, the pedal 12 is also equipped with several massage rollers 16 that are rotatably limited, and the massage rollers 16 are evenly provided with several protrusions. In use, the user places their foot on the massage rollers 16 and drives the massage rollers 16 to rotate. Through the contact between the several rotating protrusions and the user's foot, a massage and relaxation effect is achieved on the user's foot, further enhancing the user experience.

[0046] During operation: First, the footrest 12 is positioned between the two connecting frames 1 and connected to the connecting slide 10 and the guide slide 11 respectively through the first guide 13 and the second guide 14 to complete the positioning installation of the footrest.

[0047] Step 2: The user places his foot on the pedal 12 and applies force to drive the pedal 12, the first guide 13, and the second guide 14 to slide as a whole, so that the second guide 14 disengages from one of the stop grooves 110 and slides into the guide groove 11.

[0048] Step 3: After the second guide 14 is disengaged from the stop groove 110, the user applies force to the pedal 12, causing the pedal 12, the first guide 13 and the second guide 14 to deflect around the second guide 14 as an axis. Then, the first guide 13 is driven to slide into another stop groove 110 to fix the angle of the deflected pedal 12.
