US 2026/0083628 A1 · FOOT MASSAGING SHOE

Abstract

Foot massaging shoe including a push button into the side of the outsole. The shoe contains a cavity in the sole to allow for an ON/OFF switch, servo motor, rechargeable battery, and motor that together form a closed circuit. The shaft of the motor is attached to a pendulum that includes a main rod connected to three lateral rods. Each of the lateral rods has a massage ball formed at its distal ends. The pendulum rotates about the rotary axis of the shaft in a semicircular fashion from 0 to 180 degrees and back when the push button is pressed, and will stop when the push button is pressed again, such that the three balls move up out of the sole surface to brush up into and laterally across the plantar foot surface of the shoe wearer, and then back down into their respective cavities during the semicircular motion.

Dependent claims

A foot massaging shoe comprising:

a sole, wherein the sole includes a cavity;
a motor, wherein the motor is received in the cavity of the sole, wherein the motor comprises a motor shaft;
and
a pendulum, wherein the pendulum is received in the cavity, wherein the pendulum includes a main rod, wherein the pendulum includes at least a first lateral rod, wherein the first lateral rod is operatively connected to the main rod and extends radially from a longitudinal axis of the main rod, wherein the first lateral rod includes a first massage ball provided at a distal end of the first lateral rod, wherein the main rod is operatively connected to the motor shaft and rotates about a longitudinal axis of the main rod upon energization of the motor such that the first massage ball moves upwardly out of the cavity to massage;
and
a sole cover, wherein the sole cover covers the cavity, wherein the sole cover has an opening that exposes the first lateral rod and the first massage ball and enables the first lateral rod and the first massage ball to move upwardly out of the cavity and the sole cover.
