Abstract
A foot massaging device having a plurality of parallel cylindrical rollers mounted within a frame. The frame includes adjustment slots allowing the rollers to be relocated within the frame to present various massaging configurations. The foot massaging device is adjustable by seating the rearwardly disposed rollers between a raised and lowered position to configure the rollers to contact different portions of a user's foot.
Claims12
A foot massaging device comprising:
- a frame having a pair of opposed vertical support walls;
- a plurality of rollers, each roller being rotatably mounted to and between said opposed support walls;
- and
- means for vertically adjusting at least one of said rollers relative to the other rollers.

A foot massaging device comprising:
- a frame having opposed vertical walls;
- and
- three rollers which are adjustably mounted in-parallel between the opposed walls, the three rollers are mounted in a spaced relationship such that they comprise a front, middle, and rear roller;
- the middle and rear rollers being adjustable vertically within channels formed in each wall;
- wherein the middle and rear rollers can be selectively placed in a vertically raised position relative to the front roller or in a lowered position where axes of rotation of the three rollers are horizontally co-planar.

A foot massaging device comprising:
- a frame having opposed vertical support walls;
- and
- massaging means comprising a front, middle and rear roller, said middle and rear rollers being vertically adjustable relative to each other along channels formed within said support walls;
- the massaging means being movable to a first position which aligns all of the rollers in-parallel allowing a user to roll his foot across a substantially horizontal row of spaced rollers to massage a bottom of the foot;
- the massaging means being movable to a second position which sets the middle roller in an elevated position, while the rear roller is lowered, in this second position the massaging means allows the user to roll his foot on top of said roller to massage the foot bottom along a convex curved profile which mimics a foot's arch;
- the massaging means being movable to a third position which sets the rear roller in an elevated position, while the middle roller is lowered, in this third position, the massaging means has the front and middle rollers contacting and massaging a user's foot bottom, while the rear roller contacts and massages a top of the foot;
- the massaging means being movable to a fourth position which has both the middle and rear rollers in an elevated position, in this fourth position, the massaging means presents a substantially flat row of rollers that are at an acute angle relative to a horizontal plane from front to back roller, in this fourth position, the massaging means allows a user to roll his foot across the rollers to massage a bottom of the foot while sitting down in substantially the same way as the first position.
