PROVISIONAL
The following specification describes the invention. ? COMPLETE
The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed.
Field of Invention:
The present invention relates to an acupressure therapy plate having bulges to massage a feet of a user and more particularly the invention relates to the acupressure therapy plate that allow the entire feet to be massaged.
Background of Invention:
Acupressure therapy is closely related to the field of acupuncture which is conservatively estimated to be more the 2,000 years old. Acupuncture therapy is based on the concept that the human body has an internal set of channels or meridians that surface onto the skin at 365 points. These meridian points are places where control of functional body areas can best be exercised and affected by the insertion of needles.
Reflexology or acupressure is an ancient technique involving compression or finger massaging at strategic points on the soles of the feet. The essential principle behind reflexology is that the various organs and muscles of the body are connected by a network of nerves to certain spots or zones on the sole of the feet and by massaging these spots a more intensive circulation of blood flows in the target organ. Additionally, there is a theory that there are channels of energy flowing through the body and this energy terminates at these strategic spots in the feet. As circulation in the feet decreases, deposits in the form of crystallized globules form at the nerve endings, and such deposits may be broken up by deep massaging. It is known that such massaging at the various strategic zones brings about a revitalization of the energy level of the person, and theory has it that the massaging un-obstructs the flow of energy through these energy channels or pathways from the various organs to the zones in the soles of the feet. Pressure applied to these locations stimulates reflex actions of the organ, muscle or gland corresponding to the energy channel terminating at the zone to which the stimulus is applied. This particular interaction between the organs and its reflective zones on the sole of the feet was well-known in the ancient world.
The concept of acupressure, which is also referred to as reflexology massaging, utilizes the thumb, knuckle or some other external mechanical or electrical massaging implement to apply pressure to the selected meridian points. In the methodology of acupressure, as in acupuncture, there is taught that there are various organs, nerves and glands in the body that are connected with certain "reflex areas' located on the bottom of the feet, the hands and other meridian related areas of the body. By massaging these reflex areas and through resulting stimulating response, therapeutic help for various body ailments and pain reduction can be obtained.
Additionally, it is known that massage applied to specific locations in the feet does relax the body by reducing tension resulting from various stresses, and by so doing provokes good health. Moreover, when acu-pressure foot massage has been performed on people engaged in sports activities, improved competitiveness occurred, apparently due to postponement of fatigue, and increased aptitude for concentration and a greater endurance. Massage is practiced universally around the globe, both professionally and personally, and is recognized as providing some benefits to the mental, emotional and physical health of those receiving it.
Although a variety of massaging apparatus performing various massaging operations as well as the kneading massage have been suggested, such massaging apparatus generally have a complicated structure in the drive system of massaging members or in the control program for performing various massaging operations and, hence, are large in size and expensive. Further, they are very complex and employ straps or girding means on the body at specific locations for generating the necessary opposing forces to the pressure applicator. Such straps can cause discomfort to the patient.
Additionally, mat type massage devices provide basic reciprocating motions of massage bumps, which apply pressure on the body of a patient, along the body. The massage devices have a disadvantage that it can not provide pressure that considers detailed curvatures of various patients. However, massage devices provide a simple massage pressure that resembles the curve of a human backbone. Springs, cushions or links were used to accommodate the deviations from the simple reciprocating massage pressure. However, such means did not effectively provide therapeutic massage effect, or acupressure.
Further, due to rough massaging pressure of massage bumps, which do not accommodate precise human body shapes, pains were induced to the user of the massage devices. Also, there are medically important points on the human body, on which acupressure treatment should be concentrated. One of basic teachings of this ancient practice is that certain pressure points on the feet are closely connected and affect the general health of many organs and glands in the human body.
Overall, the present invention has been accomplished in view of the above circumstances, and it is to provide the acupressure therapy plate that can be used to relieve stress and fatigue in local areas of the human body, mainly in the shoulder girdle, back, lower back, mind and legs.

Fig.7 illustrates the enlarged view of the central bulge (15) as mentioned in Fig. 1 of the present invention. The center bulge (15) is provided to apply the acupressure on the user arch and toe joint of the feet. The center bulge (15) also contains the small protuberance (16) to provide specific point massage on the feet. The center bulge (15) is greater in height with respect to the other bulges (14) on the plate (11). The height of the center bulge (15) is 24.9 mm ± 0.5 mm and the length (P1) of the center bulge (15) is 32.6 mm ± 0.5 mm and the width (R1) of the central bulge (15) is 57.5 mm ± 0.5 mm as shown in fig. 7.
As aforesaid, the bulges (14) have been arranged at particular heights, shape and length, so when the pressure points are pressed in the user feet due to self pressure of the body, the blood circulation reaches from the feet to the head and makes the body fit and flexible.
Furthermore, there is a specific reason to design this plate (11) in such a way that the bulges (14) with small protuberances (16) have been arranged to enhance blood supply to each and every part of the user body through the feet. Human’s feet have been designed in such a way that the feet contain the pressure points of each and every organ and muscles. When an individual stands on the plate (11) according to present invention, each and every pressure point in the feet is pressed that enhances the blood supply to the particular organ. The user feel the pain in a particular point that is good for the body as it will enhance the blood supply to the organ which will remove toxins from the blood and those toxins will be flushed from the body through urine, stool or perspiration and user feel light and energetic in the body.
The present invention provides easy to carry and easy to use the plate (11) for pain relief and helps to enhance the blood supply to each and every organ in body in just 15 (fifteen) minutes through the acupressure therapy by just lying the feet on the plate (11). The user utilizes the plate (11), as shown in one embodiment, as illustrated in Fig. 1, by placing the plate (11) on a support surface. The user places the feet or any specific point of the feet onto the plate (11). The user can massage the feet area utilizing body weight to bring attention to the area allowing to apply a sustained focused pressure, for as long as they want as per the user’s convenience.
Although the preferred embodiment as well as the preparation and use have been specifically described, it should be understood that variations in the preferred embodiment could be achieved by a person skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention. The invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments which are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the invention as defined in the claims.
