Abstract

A foot exercise device includes a base having a front handle, a frame attached to a rear portion of the base and having an upper channel two or more lower cavities communicating with the upper channel. A platform includes a number of projections for massaging feet of users, and includes a front portion pivotally coupled to the base, and includes a rear portion having one or more pegs slidable along the upper channel of the frame, and selectively engageable in either of the lower cavities of the frame. The platform is adjustable relative to the base to different inclination when the peg of the platform is adjustably engaged in either of the lower cavities of the frame.

Claims

1. A foot exercise device comprising:

a base including a front portion for supporting a handle thereon, and including a rear portion,

a frame attached to said rear portion of said base, and including an upper channel formed therein, and including a first lower cavity and at least one second lower cavity formed therein, and communicating with said upper channel thereof, and

a platform including a plurality of projections extended upwardly therefrom, for engaging with and for massaging feet of users, and including a front portion pivotally coupled to said base, and including a rear portion having at least one peg extended therefrom, and slidable along said upper channel of said frame, and selectively engageable in either of said first and said at least one second lower cavities of said frame,

said platform being adjustable relative to said base to different inclination when said at least one peg of said platform is adjustably engaged in either of said first and said at least one second lower cavities of said frame.

2. The foot exercise device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said base includes a casing disposed on said front portion thereof, and having a space formed therein and defined between two flaps, each of said flaps includes a slot formed therein, a tube includes a lower portion engageable into said space of said casing, and includes a groove formed in said lower portion thereof, and aligned with said slots of said flaps of said casing, for receiving a fastener which is capable of securing said tube to said casing.

3. The foot exercise device as claimed in claim 2, wherein said casing includes a screw hole formed therein and communicating with said space thereof, and a fastener threaded with said screw hole of said casing and engageable with said tube, to solidly secure said tube to said casing.

4. The foot exercise device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said base includes a rear portion having a bar extended upwardly therefrom, for supporting a user thereon.

5. The foot exercise device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said base includes a beam laterally disposed therein, and includes a plate supported on said beam, to support said casing thereon.

6. The foot exercise device as claimed in claim 1 further comprising at least one link pivotally coupled between said front portion of said platform and said base, to pivotally support said platform on said base.
