Combination foot support and foot massaging device

DETAILED DESCRIPTION An object of the invention is to provide a foot massaging device which can support and massage both feet of a person simultaneously while the person is comfortably seated with the person's legs extending vertically and the person's feet angled downwardly such that the point pressure from the device is applied to soles of the feet.
The device includes a support having a lower surface adapted to rest on a floor and protrusions on an upper surface of the support.
The protrusions include a first group having upper surfaces thereof arranged so as to support the sole of each foot such that the heel of the foot is vertically above the toes of the foot.
The protrusions also include a second group having upper surfaces thereof arranged so as to support the toes of the foot such that they are bent upwardly at an angle to the sole of the foot.
The device can also include a third group of protrusions having upper surfaces thereof vertically below the upper surfaces of the second group and arranged so as to support the ball of the foot.
The device can also include a fourth group of protrusions having upper surfaces thereof arranged to be out of contact with the foot when the foot is supported on the first and second groups of protrusions, the fourth group of protrusions being usable to massage a foot which is not supported on the first and second groups of protrusions.
The first group of protrusions can be supported on a first surface of the support and the second group of protrusions can be supported on a second surface of the support, the first and second surfaces being inclined such that they are closer together at a lower end thereof than at an upper end thereof.
The third group of protrusions can have upper surfaces thereof arranged so as to support the ball of the foot and the third group of protrusions can be supported on a third surface extending between the first and second surfaces.
The second surface can form an angle with the third surface which is about equal to an angle formed between the first and third surfaces
