Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a foot massager, and more particularly, to a loess foot bath and a foot massager that can perform a foot bath or a foot massage by mixing loess or water, or loess and water.

Background Art

[0002] Generally, a foot bath device is used to relieve foot fatigue or for therapeutic purposes.

[0003] Such a foot bath device functions to promote blood circulation by applying heat to the feet, thereby relieving foot fatigue.

[0004] However, the conventional foot bath device simply applies heat to the feet and cannot supply beneficial components to the body, so its efficacy is very minimal. In addition, since the conventional foot bath device cannot effectively supply beneficial components to the body, it cannot satisfy the demands of users who attempt to enhance their health through foot baths.

[0005] In order to solve this problem, Korean Registered Patent No. 10-1244970 describes a functional loess ball foot bath device in which a loess ball accommodation part is provided inside the foot bath device, and the loess ball mounted in the loess ball accommodation part contacts the feet in a state where the feet are inserted into the main body of the foot bath device.

[0006] However, only loess balls can be used, and it is not only impossible to perform a foot bath using water or a foot bath using both loess and water, but there is also a problem in that the function is limited in that it does not provide a massage function by vibration.

[0007] Therefore, there is a need for a foot bath and a foot massager that can utilize loess or accommodate water and also have a massage function.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0019] Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] The advantages, features, and methods for achieving the present invention will become clear by referring to the embodiments described in detail below together with the accompanying drawings.

[0021] However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below and can be embodied in various different forms. However, this embodiment makes the disclosure of the present invention complete and is provided to fully inform those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention belongs of the scope of the invention. The present invention is only defined by the scope of the claims.

[0022] Also, in the description of the present invention, when it is determined that related known technologies or the like may obscure the gist of the present invention, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0023] The present invention can largely include a main body part 100 and an operating part 300.

[0024] The main body part 100 is provided to generate a magnetic field and has a vibration motor inside to generate vibration.

[0025] Furthermore, the operating part 300 may be provided to house a mediating element inside, so that vibrations are transmitted from the main body 100 when it is detachably coupled to the main body 100 and connected to the main body 100, and heat is generated when it is detachably coupled to the main body 100 and connected to the main body 100.

[0026] The present invention will be explained through the drawings.

[0027] Figure 1 is a diagram showing the use of a loess 50 foot bath foot massager according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0028] As shown in the illustration, the main body 100 according to the present invention may be in contact with the bottom surface, and the operating part 300 may be mounted on the upper part of the main body 100.

[0029] Then, a foot can be inserted into the inside of the operating part 300.

[0030] The operating part 300 vibrates due to the main body 100, and heat can be transferred when it is coupled with the main body 100, allowing the user to insert their feet into the operating part 300 to perform a foot bath or receive a massage.

[0031] This invention will be explained in detail with reference to Figure 2.

[0032] Figure 2 is a diagram showing a configuration in which the main body 100 and the operating unit 300 are connected in a loess 50 foot bath foot massager according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0033] Referring to the drawing, the main body 100 and the operating part 300 may be able to be connected, and for this purpose a fixing part 700 may be provided.

[0034] The fixing part 700 is provided by a magnetic fixing member 720, so that the main body part 100 and the operating part 300 can be connected by a magnet.

[0035] The magnet fixing member 720 includes a magnetic projection 722 and a magnetic groove 724, the magnetic projection 722 may be formed on the lower outer surface of the operating part 300, and the magnetic groove 724 may be formed on the upper outer surface of the main body 100.

[0036] The magnetic projection 722 has a shape that protrudes from the lower surface of the operating part 300 toward the main body part 100, and can be formed in a rectangular shape.

[0037] Furthermore, the magnetic groove 724 has a shape corresponding to the shape of the magnetic projection 722, and the magnetic projection 722 can be inserted into the magnetic groove 724 and bonded together by magnetic force, thereby connecting the main body 100 and the operating part 300.

[0038] Although it has been explained in this embodiment that the magnetic projection 722 is formed in a square shape, this is merely one embodiment, and it is obvious that the magnetic projection 722 can be formed in a variety of shapes, such as a disc shape or a hemispherical shape, and that the magnetic groove 724 also has a shape corresponding to the magnetic projection 722, and this does not limit the scope of the rights.

[0039] On the other hand, in the present invention, the operating part 300 is equipped to provide vibration or heat to the user's feet, and for this purpose, it may include a heating member 320 provided in the main body 100 to generate heat when electricity is supplied, and an electrical supply member 120 provided below the heating member 320 to supply current to the heating member 320.

[0040] This will be discussed further in relation to Figures 3 and 4.

[0041] For this purpose, a heat-generating member 320 is formed on the lower outer surface of the operating part 300. The heat-generating member 320 is inserted into an insertion groove 306 formed on the lower outer surface of the operating part 300, and a vibration transmission member 330 may be formed in the center of the insertion groove 306.

[0042] Refer to the drawing and make sure the file is correct.

[0043] Figure 3 is a bottom view showing the lower surface of the operating unit 300 in a loess 50 foot bath foot massager according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0044] Specifically, the heating element 320 can be a coil, the heating element 320 can be formed into a long shape and arranged in a zigzag pattern, and the vibration transmission element 330 formed in the center has a panel shape, so when connected to the vibration supply element 130 of the main body 100, vibration can be generated while power is transmitted.

[0045] Furthermore, the insertion groove 306 is formed on the edge of the lower outer surface of the operating part 300, inward from the four magnet fixing members 720, and can come into contact with the upper surface of the main body 100 when the magnet fixing members 720 are connected to the main body 100.

[0046] On the other hand, the vibration transmission member 330 can generate vibrations through the vibration providing member 130 formed on the main body portion 100.

[0047] Specifically, the vibration-providing member 130 consists of a motor, a spring 164, and a damper, and may vibrate rapidly in a vertical direction.

[0048] At this time, the vibration-providing member 130 transmits vibrations to the vibration-transmitting member 330, causing the operating part 300 to vibrate.

[0049] I will explain this in detail by referring to the drawings.

[0050] Figure 4 is a diagram illustrating the electrical supply member 120 and the vibration supply member 130 in the main body 100 of a loess 50 foot bath foot massager according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0051] As shown in the diagram, a vibration-providing member 130 is provided on the main body portion 100 corresponding to the position of the vibration-transmitting member 330. The vibration-providing member 130 is configured to protrude upward and be inserted into the vibration-transmitting member 330, and vibrations can be generated when the vibration-providing member 130 and the vibration-transmitting member 330 come into contact.

[0052] As mentioned above, the vibration of the vibration-providing member 130 may be in the vertical direction or the lateral direction.

[0053] In this embodiment, the vibration-providing member 130 generates vibrations, but this is only one embodiment. The vibration-providing member 130 may generate lateral vibrations instead of vertical vibrations, or it may transmit vibrations through ultrasound.

[0054] On the other hand, the main body 100 may include an electrical supply member 120.

[0055] In one embodiment of the present invention, the heat generation structure of the main body 100 and the operating part 300 is an induction heating method utilizing a magnetic field and a coil, which can be a method for heating a metal object without contact.

[0056] The electrical supply member 120 according to the present invention is formed on the upper part of the main body 100 and may be formed to a size corresponding to the size of the heating element 320 which is provided in a size corresponding to the insertion groove 306, or it may be provided in a form that faces at least a part of it.

[0057] The electrical supply component 120 is provided on the main body 100 and can supply alternating current to the operating unit 300.

[0058] When an alternating current is applied to the heating element 320 from the electrical supply element 120, heat is generated, and hot air can be transmitted into the working part 300.

[0059] On the other hand, a pressure plate portion 500 can be inserted inside the operating portion 300.

[0060] Figure 5 is a plan view illustrating the interior of the operating unit 300 in a loess 50 foot bath foot massager according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0061] As shown in the illustration, the acupressure plate portion 500 is inserted into the inner lower surface of the operating portion 300 and includes acupressure projections 520 that are formed to protrude toward the user's foot, and a portion of it may be shaped to the shape of the sole of the foot 30 so that the position of the sole of the user's foot 30 can be specified.

[0062] Furthermore, the shape of the sole of the foot 30 can have numerous acupressure protrusions 520 that project toward the sole of the foot 30.

[0063] Furthermore, the pressure plate portion 500 may have a pressure plate fixing groove 305 formed therein, which has the shape of a recessed groove corresponding to the position in which it is inserted into the operating portion 300.

[0064] Therefore, the pressure plate portion 500 can be inserted into the pressure plate fixing groove and fixed in place by the operating portion 300 so as not to wobble.

[0065] The acupressure plate section 500 can apply pressure to the soles 30 of the user's feet, which are inserted inside the operating section 300, thereby helping to improve blood circulation.

[0066] On the other hand, an adjustment member 140 may be formed on the main body portion 100.

[0067] The adjustment member 140 may be a control box that can operate and control the aforementioned operating unit 300 when supplying heat or vibration to it.

[0068] The adjustment member 140 may have the form of a lever or button and may include a power button 142 that can drive the main body 100, a temperature adjustment button 144 that can adjust the temperature, a vibration adjustment button 146 that adjusts the intensity of vibration, and a time adjustment button 148 that has a timer function.

[0069] The time adjustment button 148 is a button that can be pressed. Pressing it once sets a 10-minute timer, pressing it twice sets a 20-minute timer, and pressing it three times sets a 30-minute timer.

[0070] Additionally, the temperature control button 144 can be adjusted by 10°C each time it is pressed.

[0071] For example, pressing the temperature control button 144 once sets it to 10°C, pressing it twice sets it to 20°C, and so on, with each press adding 10°C.

[0072] On the other hand, the loess 50 foot bath foot massager according to the present invention can provide a compress or massage by inserting a medium into the operating part 300.

[0073] Refer to the drawing and make sure the file is correct.

[0074] Figure 6 is a diagram illustrating the cover portion 900 and the loess 50 in a loess 50 foot bath foot massager according to one embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 7 is a diagram illustrating the loess 50 foot bath foot massager according to one embodiment of the present invention with water 60 contained within.

[0075] In this invention, a foot bath can be performed inside the operating unit 300 using a 50ml loess compress or heated water 60ml.

[0076] For this purpose, the operating unit 300 according to the present invention may further include a container member 340.

[0077] The container member 340 has an open top and a space formed inside, which may be the same as the shape of the operating part 300.

[0078] Furthermore, the container member 340 is provided so as to be insertable into the operating part 300, and loess 50 can be inserted into it.

[0079] Because Outo 50 is viscous, users can insert their feet into it or place them on top of it to apply a compress.

[0080] At this time, the container member 340 can be inserted into the working part 300, and when inserted into the working part 300, it can be tightly fitted to the sides without any gaps, and is made of an elastic material so that it can be inserted into or removed from the working part 300 while bending.

[0081] Furthermore, the lower surface of the container member 340 may be made of vinyl, and in this case, the container member 340 may be placed on top of the acupressure plate portion 500 with the acupressure plate portion 500 positioned below the operating portion 300, and the container member 340 may be made of a vinyl material that allows the protrusions of the acupressure plate portion 500 to provide stimulation even when the foot is inserted into the inside of the container member 340.

[0082] For example, the container member 340 may be formed as a facet, with only the transitional portion being made of plastic and the surface portion being made of vinyl.

[0083] Alternatively, the sides may be made of a rubber-like material, while only the bottom surface is made of vinyl.

[0084] On the other hand, a cover portion 900 may be further included to close the upper part of the operating portion 300.

[0085] The cover portion 900 is provided so as to be connectable to the operating portion 300 and is provided so as to close the upper part of the operating portion 300 except for a portion into which a foot is inserted, and an opening 920 may be formed in a part of the cover portion 900 so that a foot can be inserted.

[0086] On the other hand, the cover portion 900 may be provided with a door that can close the opening 920 to prevent foreign matter from entering the inside of the operating portion 300, even when not in use.

[0087] This will be explained as a modified example through the following diagram.

[0088] Figure 8 is a drawing illustrating a structure for closing the opening 920 of the cover portion 900 in a modified embodiment of the present invention for a loess 50 foot bath foot massager, and Figures 9 and 10 are drawings illustrating a panel member 930, a roller member 940, and a coupling member 950 in a modified embodiment of the present invention for a loess 50 foot bath foot massager.

[0089] First, the door according to the present invention is capable of opening and closing the opening 920, and may have a structure that allows for sliding opening and closing.

[0090] Referring to Figure 8, the panel can be formed by a facet and has a length corresponding to the width of the opening 920, and a width along the direction of contraction or relaxation.

[0091] Furthermore, the panel member 930 may include a roller member 940 inserted into a rail (not shown) formed in the cover portion 900 so as to be able to move along the rail in the direction of contraction or relaxation.

[0092] The roller member 940 is formed on one side along the width direction of the panel member 930, allowing the panel member 930 to move along the rail.

[0093] Furthermore, a coupling member 950 may be formed on the other side along the width direction of the panel member 930.

[0094] Referring to Figure 10, the panel member 930 is connected to an adjacent panel member 930 at one end by a roller member 940. In this case, the panel member 930 can have two shapes. One panel member 930 has a groove formed along the width direction at one end toward the center, and the roller member 940 is connected to the groove. The other panel member 930 may have a shape in which a projection is formed that protrudes in a predetermined manner so as to be inserted into the roller member 940 from a rectangular hexahedron shape.

[0095] Therefore, one side of the panel member 930 that is coupled to the roller member 940 moves along the rail of the cover portion 900, and the other side of the panel member 930 can be coupled to another adjacent panel member 930 by the coupling member 950.

[0096] The coupling member 950 has an annular shape that is connected to the sides of the two panel members 930.

[0097] On the other hand, a contact member 160 can be included to prevent the operating part 300 from shaking while it is coupled to the main body 100.

[0098] Specifically, the contact member 160 may be slidably connected to the upper part of the main body 100 and positioned to surround the lower corner of the operating part 300.

[0099] The contact member 160 may include a locking bracket 162, a spring 164, and a support base 166.

[0100] I will explain this in detail by referring to the drawings.

[0101] Figure 11 is a diagram illustrating the structure in which the operating part 300 is connected to the main body 100 in a loess 50 foot bath foot massager according to a modified embodiment of the present invention.

[0102] As shown in the diagram, the support base 166 is formed to protrude upward from the upper part of the main body 100 and may be formed in a groove opposite to the operating part 300, and the spring 164 may be arranged in the groove.

[0103] Furthermore, since the spring 164 is connected to the locking bracket 162, the locking bracket 162 can be extended and retracted relative to the support base 166, with the spring 164 in between.

[0104] Here, the locking bracket 162 has a locking groove (not shown) that is recessed toward the support base 166, and the locking groove may surround a part of the operating part 300.

[0105] Furthermore, the operating part 300 may include a locking projection member 360 so that it can be inserted into the locking bracket 162.

[0106] The locking projection member 360 may have a semicircular shape and can be inserted into and fixed to the locking bracket 162.

[0107] In order to connect the operating part 300 to the main body part 100, the locking bracket 162 can be moved closer to the support base 166, and then the locking projection member 360 can be inserted into the locking bracket 162 and fixed in place.

[0108] While specific examples of the loess 50 foot bath foot massager according to the present invention have been described so far, it is obvious that various modifications are possible within the limits that do not deviate from the scope of the present invention.

[0109] Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the embodiments described, but should be defined not only by the claims described later, but also by equivalent claims, etc.

[0110] In other words, the embodiments described above should be understood to be illustrative and not limiting in all respects, and the scope of the present invention is indicated by the claims described below rather than by the detailed description, and the meaning and scope of those claims, and all modified or altered forms derived from their equivalent concepts, should be interpreted as being included within the scope of the present invention.
