Background: of Invention


The background of invention begins with foot health where foots are neglected generally and foot hygiene to maintain regular standards of practice. Keeping this mind the solution and preventive measures may require for people suffering from foot related problems such as athletic foot, fungal infections of the foot, nail hardening, poor blood circulation, crack heals, blood clots, sores and corn of the foot, bad smell or odors of the foot, swelling and or constant pain in the foot. This all with consideration of foot related issues and of remedy of the foot, the new invention drives in. Where the user may on standing or sitting position rest their feet's on footrest stand of foot-care equipment unit and hands free dry the feet's, oil them recommended oils, dust them with recommended powders, sanitize and sterilize them conventionally on the run. The foot-care equipment design or may design in such a way as user friendly for regular or random usage of the equipment enhance the good bold circulation, and cures the skin related (crack heals) and other infections and most importantly cures the decease as athlete's foot, fungal Infection, sores and dead skin and corns etc.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The brief summary of the invention describes the essence of the invention concept. Generally for the foot related problems we all consult doctors' takes medication or the therapist for treatment. The summary include the invention of a compact appliance of foot-care equipment unit with all the features as treatment of foot or the feet's. This begins the newly designed equipment appliance which may comprise of multiple functionality in brief summary followed by steps.


The steaming: The process may be the first process of choice to begin with, where a small amount of water filled up to the steaming marked level for steaming the feet's for set amount of time. And dry the feet's with air blower without wiping out feet's may help in good blood circulation.


The massaging: Where the hot, warm, or cold massage treatment, may be provided to the feet's while on sitting or at standing position by filling the water in the chamber container to the marked level for water massaging, indulging with foot massage oils in the water for massage. The foot or the feet's placed in the appliance chamber's container from the front of the equipment, the two swing to close doors from the side to close the chamber. Therefore the process begins streaming of the water by the rotary wheel disk in the chamber and massage the feet's up to set interval. This may enhance foot health.


The cleaning and sanitizing: Thereon the new invention of cleaning and sanitizing of the foot or the feet's hands free. The water may be filled in the chamber container to the marked level of cleaning. The water may be hot, warm or cold as coil heating temperature set by user. The liquid foam of soap or shampoo may be added in the water. The foot or the feet's may place from the front of the foot-care equipment unit on foot rest stand for cleaning inside the chambers compartment. And two doors from the side close the chamber of the unit. The time of cleaning may set by user and the waste water may drained out from the equipment and the fresh water filled in with some sanitizer up to the level marked in the chamber container to sanitize the feet's resting on footrest on sitting or at standing


The drying: Therefore the process of functions over lapped of drying every now and then after any process. Where the foot need to be on the footrest stand in the equipment's chamber compartment for drying up feet's. The two air blowers fan set on blower dry up the feet's even from the top and the bottom part of the feet, as structural design of seesaw movable footrest stand. This process remain active with sensor device till the user with-draw the feet's from the foot-care equipment


The emulsification, oiling and powdering: Thereon the step may include emulsification tube, oils and or powder dusting. The medically recommended tube ointment (emulsification) may diluted with distil water for spraying on feet's same as powder dispensers dust powder from the dispenser connected with air pressure pipe from the air compressor tank of foot-care equipment unit. Therefore all these applications are hands free use by user and helps in control sweat and bad odors.


The sterilizing: The step may include sterilizing of the foot or the feet's with ultra violet rays the feet's. The sensors beam targeting the feet's allows the ultra violet lamp to stay on and sterilize the feet's. The sterilizing process may be at sitting or at standing position for set period of time by the foot-care equipment or may cut through remote device or by the user. The sterilizing of feet's enhance good health of feet's hygiene practice.


The stone scrubbing the stone scrubbing and removal of dead skin of the foot-heals or other parts of the foot or the feet's. Thereon a telephonic shape hand held scrubber installed on the foot-care equipment's body from the side of the unit hangered on the hook. The pumice stone roller of circular shape attach to a low volt motor along with air pressure pipe from the air compressor tank. The dead skin of the feet's may scrubbed by the pumice stone mounted on motor shaft of telephonic hand held unit component and blow down dead skin of the feet's by the air pressure. This may cure crack heals and foot appearance.


Equipment Cleaning to Sterilizing:


The equipment may designed in such a way it sterilize and clean chamber compartment semi-automatically by its user. The cleaning and sanitizing and sanitizing with ultra violet lamps of all chambers components including footrest stand. These following steps may completely make the equipment ready to use by the user.
