PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a sole-of-foot finger-pressure instrument capable of obtaining effective finger-pressure action in an easy posture while taking a hot bath or a footbath, and a bathtub or a footbath tank equipped therewith.SOLUTION: The sole-of-foot finger-pressure instrument includes a reciprocating drive device constituted by holding the peripheral edge part of the opening provided to the base plate of the recessed place provided to the base of a tank between the upper edge of a body and the peripheral edge of a flange to fix the same by a watertight structure and the foot placing plate connected to the upper end of the reciprocating lever piercing through the flange to be protruded to the upper surface of the reciprocating drive device in a freely shakable manner. A large number of pressure projections are provided on the foot placing plate provided so as to become the same surface as the base of the tank. The foot placing plate is reciprocated up and down in a shakable state in the state fitted in the recessed place by the up and down movements of a reciprocating move body.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】楽な姿勢で入浴や足湯をしながら効果的な指圧作用が得られる足裏指圧器及びそのような足裏指圧器を備えた浴槽や足湯槽を得る。【解決手段】槽の底面に設けた凹所の底板に設けた開口の周縁部を本体の上縁とフランジの周縁とで挟持して水密構造で固定した往復駆動装置と、フランジを貫通して往復駆動装置の上面に突出する往復動杆の上端に揺動自在に連結した足載せ板とを備える。槽の底面と同一面となるように設けられた足載せ板上に、多数の押圧突起が設けられている。足載せ板は、往復動体の上下動により、凹所にはめ込まれた状態で揺動可能に上下往復動する。【選択図】図3
