Device for foot massage by reflex therapy
The present invention has as its object a device formed by a mono-piece body that allows a relaxing or therapeutic massage of the feet to be carried out in its use.
The device of the invention allows an active presoming of regular reflexology on the feet, activating and promoting physical health and, consequently, also a psychic well-being. In spite of its simple appearance, its very studied design, it is thought to exert pressure in balance and relation with the user's body mass on points
10 neuralgic of the sole of the foot, using naturally, the weight of the body when stepping on it; In addition to not needing help from third parties, its use adds a great benefit by adding to the therapeutic effect the user's movement as a physical activity.
15 State of the art
There are different devices on the market that are designed to be used passively, that is, while sitting or lying down, and that only provide a slight surface massage that is not proportional to the needs of each person,
Reflexology, which comes from acupuncture, is based on the principle of stimulating points
20 specific reflexes of the nerve endings in the soles of the feet, points that are connected with the different organs and glands of our body.
When in some of these vital organs, the energy is charged or stagnant within or at some point in its path, an imbalance occurs that in the medium or long term affects the organic functions, causing discomfort, ailments and, in many
25 occasions, diseases.
Some approach to solving the problem of foot massage can be seen in ES 2 318 999 Al, which describes a surface provided with a plurality of protuberances, distributed along said surface and forming different groups. This solution, although it is an active way to perform massages on the soles of the feet, does not allow easy and safe support of the body weight on different areas of the soles of the feet, but instead allows regular support on the entire surface, or by partially removing foot from said surface
5 Also in 20202789 a device can be seen in which the feet are placed on a housing with a set of protrusions located in a plane.
DE 3313893 When describing a massage device which is provided with a set of regular section rollers arranged in parallel, which can rotate around respective axes, and which may be provided with handles or handles to facilitate their
10 displacement on the body surface. The rollers are provided with a set of pointed pyramidal bodies arranged along its surface.
ES O 241131 U describes a massager device formed by a roller that can be stepped on by the user dragging along the ground changing its position with respect to the foot. It has no bumps along its surface. Similar solutions can be seen in, for example, ES 1 006 719 U, in this case the roller is provided with a series of protuberances along its surface, or ESl008 213 U, which, similar to the previous one, incorporates a handle for its displacement along the desired body surface, or ES 1 018 709 U, which is substantially equal to the previous one but in which the protrusions of the roller surface are more separated and are more acute, or also WO 94024980,
20 which, similar to the previous ones, combines bumps with a kind of cups or suction cups along the surface of the roller.
GB O 277 485 also describes a massage device consisting of a roller, in this case provided with handles arranged at the two ends of the axis of rotation of the roller.
JPH09108284A discloses a device also formed by a roller provided with 25 protuberances, and also a handle to be held with one hand. Also US 7 267655 Bl shows a similar solution.
The normal thing in the exercise of the reflexology activity to the use, is that the patient or user of the service, receives the massage or treatment, in a totally passive situation. That is, in a sitting or lying position.
In either position, a reflexologist presses the points of the foot, according to the treatment that is intended to be received, while the patient or user remains totally passive.
The same, if an electromechanical device is treated or done. Most of these 5 mechanisms are to be used in sitting position. Placing the feet on him and programming the device according to the treatment to receive.
Non-motorized mechanical devices are made of different materials (wood, metal, bamboo, paste, etc.), and are designed to be used manually by oneself or a third person. Always in a sitting or lying position.
Description of the invention
The present invention aims at a device for the massage of the feet by means of reflex therapy, which is constituted by a body with a flat support base, in which said support base is intended to be placed on the floor, and a surface upper 15 which substantially takes the form of a cylindrical sector, in which some portions (throughout the description, when speaking of portions, said portions are referred to areas delimited along the longitudinal axis of the device; furthermore when one speaks of length refers to a measure along said longitudinal axis, and when talking about width it refers to a horizontal measure and perpendicular to said longitudinal axis)
20 lateral and central of the device have a radius greater than intermediate portions, located respectively between the central portion and each of the lateral portions, corresponding to each of the feet. The outer surface of the device is topped by a set of protuberances, arranged adjacent to each other.
25 The variation of the radius in the central and lateral portions is progressive, varying gradually from a minimum radius, coinciding with that of the intermediate portions, and a maximum radius.
The outer ends of the lateral portions also have a decreasing radius until reaching a lower value than that of the intermediate portions.
Preferably, the dimensions of the device are as follows:
Length between the outer ends: between 32 cm and 48 cm, particularly between 36 cm and 44 cm and more particularly between 38.5 cm and 40.5 cm;
Width of each of the intermediate portions: between 50 mm and 80 mm, 5 particularly between 55 mm and 70 mm, and more particularly between 59 mm and 63
mm;
Width of each of the central and lateral portions: between 59mm and 85mm,
particularly between 63 mm and 80 mm, and more particularly between 68 mm and
73mm;
10 Width of each end of the side portions: up to 85mm particularly up to 73mm, and more particularly up to 45mm;
Height of each of the intermediate portions: between 10 mm and 30 mm,
particularly between 15 mm and 23 mm, and more particularly between 18 mm and 21
mm

According to a preferred embodiment, the height and width of the intermediate portion is equal to the height and width of
25 side portions. The user's feet are located in the intermediate portions, either the fingers, the plantar vault, the heels, so that the necessary balance for the maintenance of balance and the small movements that can be made from one foot to the other facilitate the Massaging all areas of the sole: medial plantar, lateral and tibial plantar. In addition, due to the protruding forms of the central (4) and lateral (3) portions, simultaneously, whatever the tread form (normal, pronator or supine), without having to bend either the feet or ankles, the plantar massage also activate other lateral areas of the foot corresponding to the area where
5 is supported, such as saphene and sural by its contact with said raised (lateral) and central (4) raised portions.
The ends (6) of the body (1), located outside the lateral portions, are of decreasing height and width, which minimizes the unevenness that can facilitate tripping over said body (1) and improves its aesthetic appearance. The variation of the radius in the zones of
The union of the lateral portions (3) and the central portion (4) with the intermediate portions is progressive, varying gradually from a minimum radius, coinciding with that of the intermediate portions, to a maximum radius.
Preferably, the dimensions of the body (1) that forms the device are the following:
15 Length between the outer ends: between 32 cm and 48 cm, particularly between 36 cm and 44 cm and more particularly between 38.5 cm and 40.5 cm;
Width of the intermediate portions: between 50 mm and 80 mm, particularly between 55 mm and 70 mm, and more particularly between 59 mm and 63 mm;
Width of the central and lateral portions: between 59 mm and 85 mm, 20 particularly between 63 and 80 mm, and more particularly between 68 and 73 mm;
Width of the ends of the side portions: up to 85 mm particularly up to 73 mm, and more particularly up to 45 mm;
Height of the intermediate portions: between 10 mm and 30 mm, particularly between 15 mm and 23 mm, and more particularly between 18 mm and 21 mm;
25 Height of the central and lateral portions: between 14 mm and 34 mm, particularly between 19 mm and 30 mm, and more particularly between 22 mm and 25 mm;
Height of the ends of the lateral portions: less than 14 mm, particularly less than 11 mm, and more particularly less than 8 mm;
The protuberances have a substantially square base, and a free end that forms a sharp or rounded surface; the height of the protuberances is between 3 mm and 8 mm, and the width of its base between 6 mm and 12 mm, particularly between 8 mm and 10 mm, and more particularly 9 mm.
