Abstract
An apparatus and a method to cover the need for drying and care of feet, that aims to have a dryer that includes an electric motor that drives the air together with a resistance that provides heat for optimal drying and in the shortest possible time. In turn, it has a concave section in the lower part of the device that deflects the air blown to the lower part of the feet. Similarly, it contains a foot powder dispenser that provides the precise amount of foot powder, and that at the bottom there is a compact fabric that removes excess water from the feet a padded fabric that helps disperse the powder on the feet, allowing the covering of all areas of the fingers. All its parameters can be modified manually or automatically.
Claims20
An apparatus for measuring talc and drying feet for domestic use, to prevent the formation of fungi due to humidity, comprising:
- a dryer having an electric drying motor (7) and an electric heating elements (8);
- a talc dosing system (9) having a main structure (31);
- a base (30);
- a plate (33), a cam shaft (35), a spring (34), an electric motor (10), a toothed structure (32);
- a motor base (52);
- a column (66);
- an inlet duct (5);
- an outlet duct (6);
- a main base (2);
- a drying base (3);
- a container (11);
- a cover (4);
- an air diverter (54);
- a manual command;
- an automatic command having parameter modification switches;
- a sensor (67);
- and
- a video camera (68), wherein the video camera (68) is connected through a cell phone application in which an image of the feet is displayed and all the parameters of the device are adjusted, wherein said talc dispenser (9) works through an electric motor (10) that rotates a cam shaft (35) has an ovoid shape (45) with its major diameter of 9.16 mm and its minor diameter of 2.94 mm;
- this differential of measurements in conjunction with the spring (34) causes the plate (33) to have a rectilinear movement to a surface of the cam shaft (35) in constant cycles that ends when the electric motor (10) stops operating;
- the plate (33) moves through a rail (39);
- where the electric motor (10) rotates from 100 rpm to 400 rpm and is fed by a current of the home, and wherein at one end it has a male that fits with the grooved female section (47) of the cam shaft (35), wherein said plate (33) has at one of its ends a rectangular section (49) that is pushed by the cam shaft (35), its other end a rectangular flange (51) is pushed by the spring (34), to the 4.5 mm dosing holes (42), in rectangular holes (43) the toothed structure (32) is placed;
- an opening (50) is where a fastening screw of the main structure (31) passes to the base (30) and where the toothed structure (32) has 2 levels of teeth interspersed with a structure that is as less dense as possible to that the talcum does not stick to it and let it pass;
- the teeth of an upper level help to lower the talc from the container (11) to the talc dispenser (9) through a rectangular opening (27);
- the lower teeth help the talc to pass through the frame holes (36) and metering holes (42);
- its movement is the same as that of the plate (33) which is anchored to the rectangular holes (43) and passes through the slits of the structure (44).
