Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zur Massage und/oder Reinigung der Füße, bestehend aus einer Rinne mit sich zu deren oberer Öffnung verjüngendem Querschnitt, an den Innenflächen ihrer Seitenteile und des Rinnenbodens angebrachten Massage- und/oder Reinigungselementen sowie einem Wasserzuführungssystem zu schaffen. Die soll insbesondere älteren Menschen, Übergewichtigen und Teilinvaliden die Fußpflege wesentlich erleichtern.The invention has for its object a device for massaging and / or cleaning the feet from a gutter tapering to the top opening Cross section, on the inner surfaces of their side parts and the channel bottom attached massage and / or cleaning elements as well as a water supply system create. This is especially intended for older people, overweight people and partially disabled foot care essential facilitate.
Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß der Rinnenboden und beide Seitenteile der an ihren Stirnseiten frei zugänglich offenen Rinne zur Anpassung an die Auflagefläche bzw. zur allseitigen elastischen Anlage am Fuß elastisch ausgebildet sind und zum Zuführen und Verteilen von Wasser und/oder Reinigungsmittel und/oder Desinfektionsmittel über ein mit einem Anschluß versehenes und in die Seitenteile und den Rinnenboden integriertes Kanalsystem mit in den Rinneninnenraum gerichteten Düsen verfügen.This problem is solved in that the channel bottom and both side parts of the at their end faces free accessible open channel to adapt to the support surface or for all-round elastic contact with the foot are elastic and for feeding and distributing of water and / or cleaning agents and / or disinfectants via a connected and in the channel system integrated into the side parts and the channel floor with nozzles directed into the interior of the gutter.
Eine bevorzugte Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung besteht darin, daß an der Unterseite des Rinnenbodens Befestigungselemente zur form- und/oder reibschlüssigen Verbindung mit einer Badematte vorgesehen sind. Auf diese Weise kann die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zur rutschsicheren Befestigung insbesondere mit einer Badematte kombiniert werden. Bevorzugterweise sind die Befestigungselemente als Noppen ausgebildet, die in vorzugsweise sternförmig geschlitzt ausgebildete Ausnehmungen der Badematte eingreifen.A preferred embodiment of the invention Solution is that at the bottom of the channel bottom Fasteners for positive and / or frictional Connection with a bath mat are provided. On in this way, the inventive device for non-slip attachment especially with a bath mat be combined. The fasteners are preferably formed as pimples, which in preferably recesses with a star-shaped slit intervene in the bath mat.
Darüberhinaus ist es aber auch möglich, die Befestigungselemente mit Saugnäpfen zu versehen, so daß die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung auch unabhängig von einer geeigneten Badematte rutschfest mit einem Wannen- oder Duschtassenboden formschlüssig verbindbar ist.In addition, it is also possible to use the fasteners to be provided with suction cups, so that the invention Device also independent of one suitable bath mat non-slip with a tub or Shower tray floor can be positively connected.
Eine weitere vorteilhafte Gestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung besteht darin, daß das Kanalsystem aus mindestens zwei hydraulisch isolierten Untersystemen besteht, von denen jedes mindestens einen Schlauchanschluß aufweist. Diese Ausgestaltung ermöglicht die gleichzeitige, gezielte Zuführung von kaltem und warmen Wasser, so daß ein die Blutzirkulation fördernder Wechseldusch-Effekt realisierbar ist.Another advantageous embodiment of the invention Solution is that the channel system consists of at least consists of two hydraulically isolated subsystems, each of which has at least one hose connection. This configuration enables the simultaneous targeted supply of cold and warm water so that an alternating shower effect that promotes blood circulation is feasible.
Um die Reinigungs- und Massagewirkung der Vorrichtung weiter zu erhöhen, ist die Rinne vorzugsweise mit Bürsten, Schwämmen, Reiboberflächen oder ähnlichen Massage- und/oder Reinigungselementen unterschiedlicher Härte und/oder unterschiedlicher Materialbeschaffenheit versehen. So können in der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung gleichzeitig beispielsweise Naturborsten für eine normale Fußreinigung als auch härtere Kunststoffborsten für eine Hornhautentfernung angeordnet sein.To the cleaning and massage effect of the device the channel should preferably be increased with brushes, Sponges, rubbing surfaces or similar massage and / or Cleaning elements of different hardness and / or different material properties. So in the device according to the invention at the same time, for example, natural bristles for a normal one Foot cleaning as well as harder plastic bristles for one Corneal removal may be arranged.
Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung besteht darin, daß die Massage und/oder Reinigungselemente aus Bürsten bestehen, die V-förmig ausgebildete Borstenreihen bilden. Diese Ausgestaltung ermöglicht eine optimale Reinigung insbesondere der Zehenzwischenräume.Another advantageous embodiment consists in that the massage and / or cleaning elements from brushes exist that form V-shaped rows of bristles. This configuration enables optimal cleaning especially between the toes.
