    [0002] Device for collecting plantar images
    [0003]
    [0004] OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
    [0005]
    [0006] The purpose of the present invention application is to register a device for capturing plantar images of a patient's foot, which are usually used for the realization of custom templates, which incorporates notable innovations and advantages over the techniques used up to the moment.
    [0007]
    [0008] More specifically, the invention proposes a base with a tilting table for the support of the patient's foot, which by its particular arrangement, allows the professional to comfortably place the patient's foot in the position he deems most appropriate according to the type of foot and decide the amount of load desired, and not to limit the professional in the decision to take measures of the mold, as currently limit other inventions.
    [0009]
    [0010] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    [0011]
    [0012] Plantar scanners designed to obtain an image of the plantar surface of a patient are known in the current state of the art, with the intention of making custom templates. There are several different technical solutions, such as the one disclosed in the utility model document ES1076710, which proposes a tooling with an elastic mesh on a height-adjustable glass in discrete positions, where the patient treads horizontally, with the foot which makes it possible to vary the load that the foot receives from the mesh and the glass in discrete steps. This and other devices disclosed in the state of the art allow to obtain images of the foot with different loads, but on the one hand they have the disadvantage that the intensity of the load to be chosen is divided into discrete values, and on the other hand, the podiatrist must Dealing with the weight of the patient's leg for proper foot placement, resulting in an uncomfortable and not optimized process. It also forces the patient to stand in standing position (standing), with one foot on a platform and another on the scanner, causing instability and lack of balance in elderly or overweight patients.
    [0013] DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
    [0014]
    [0015] The present invention has been developed in order to provide a simple and convenient solution for the capture of plantar images that resolves the aforementioned contradictions of the state of the art.
    [0016]
    [0017] The device for capturing plantar images object of this invention comprises a support base provided with a platform for the support of the sole of a patient's foot. This platform is characterized by being tiltable for the convenience of each patient and according to the criteria of the podiatrist or professional who must assess the capture of the plantar image, prior diagnosis of the foot and prescribe a treatment such as custom templates, custom footwear or AFO type orthosis and D.A.F.O ..
    [0018]
    [0019] In his condition of use, the patient is seated, preferably in a chair or stretcher with his back tilted back, so that the weight received by the soles of his feet is reduced. Thanks to this arrangement, the podiatrist can place and / or hold the patient's foot more easily for proper positioning during the acquisition of the plantar image while the patient is comfortable and safe.
    [0020]
    [0021] In a preferable embodiment, the support base and the platform comprise means for fixing the inclination of the latter, once the professional has chosen his appropriate inclination for the positioning of the patient.
    [0022]
    [0023] In another possible embodiment, the device comprises a sheet of elastic material, such as neoprene, located so that it covers a window practiced on the surface of the platform and where the professional places the patient's foot according to his criteria. Preferably the sheet and / or the platform comprise removable fixing means between them.
    [0024]
    [0025] Additionally, the previous embodiment may comprise a second foot support platform, placed under the sheet. This second platform is attached to the first platform, preferably through removable fixing means and / or adjustable in distance. In turn, this second platform may also have a regulation of its own inclination with respect to the first platform.
    [0026]
    [0027] The above optional embodiments allow the capture of the plantar image in download mode (in case of removing the second platform and only supporting the foot on the sheet), semi-discharge (combining the sheet and the second platform), or in total load (in case of removing the sheet and resting the foot directly on the second platform). In this way, the professional can not only choose whether to capture the plantar image with or without soft tissues, but can also precisely regulate the load portion that the sheet and the second platform exert on the foot.
    [0028]
    [0029] For the capture of the plantar image, the device is preferably accompanied by a camera with depth sensor, which is capable of capturing images in three dimensions, such as the one known as Structure Sensor. These types of cameras comprise a connection to portable devices, such as smartphone or tablet, which may include software enabled to command said camera and manage the acquired images. For your application, the professional only needs to focus the sole of the foot with the camera and take the images you need. This technical feature is not claimed in the present invention, since the use of this image acquisition means is known for this field of application, as shown in US9684928. In addition, that camera is much cheaper and can be easily obtained by every professional.
    [0030]
    [0031] On the other hand, the device may comprise at least one handle for transport, as well as non-slip feet to prevent its displacement relative to the ground.
    [0032]
    [0033] Another possible option of the device is that the support base has means for regulating the height of the first platform, not just its inclination. This allows a greater number of foot placements and thus an unlimited number of foot corrections.
    [0034]

    [0040] DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
    [0041]
    [0042] In view of the aforementioned figures and, according to the numbering adopted, an example of a preferred embodiment of the invention can be observed therein, which comprises the parts and elements indicated and described in detail below.
    [0043]
    [0044] The preferred embodiment of the present invention is composed of a support base (1) containing a tiltable platform (2) in the form of a table. This platform (2) is pivotally attached to the support base (1) by means of pivots (21) located in two of the adjacent corners of the platform (2), which are inserted into holes (11) of the lift base (1) with adequate clearance for rotation.
    [0045]
    [0046] As means for fixing the inclination of the platform (2), this preferred embodiment comprises two vertical plates (12,13) joined on the sides of the base of substation (1), each plate (12, 13) with a groove ( 14, 15) in the form of an arc through which threaded pins (24) connected to the platform (2) circulate. These pins (24) have, for example, a dove (25) enabled to press against the vertical plates (12, 13).
    [0047]
    [0048] The device of this preferred embodiment comprises a sheet of elastic material (3) positioned so as to cover a window (22) practiced on the surface of the platform (2). As removable fixing means of the sheet (3), in this embodiment, the platform (2) comprises on its surface spikes (23) located around the window (22), while the sheet (3) comprises holes (31) around its perimeter enabled to be located in said pins (23).
    [0049]
    [0050] In turn, this embodiment comprises a second platform (4) located below the sheet (3). This second platform (4) comprises means for fixing and regulating the distance to the first platform, formed by four rods (26, 27, 28, 29) joined by one end to the first platform (2) and that cross the second platform (4), with a threaded rod (26) being at least one of the rods (26, 27, 28, 29). With a handle (41) placed at the other end of the threaded rod (26), it is possible to set the distance between the two platforms (2, 4) while releasing the second platform (4) if necessary.
    [0051]
    [0052] To facilitate the transport of the device, the base (1) comprises handles (16), as well as non-slip feet (17) to prevent its displacement relative to the ground.
    [0053] The details, shapes, dimensions and other accessory elements, as well as the materials used in the manufacture of the device for collecting plantar images of the invention, may be conveniently replaced by others that are technically equivalent and do not depart from essentiality. of the invention or the scope defined by the claims included below.
