[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 3, there is conventionally known a half-body bathtub 1 provided with a shallow portion 2 on which a hip is placed and a deep portion 3 for placing a foot.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In the above conventional half bath tub, the lower part of the shallow bottom of the half bath is not used, and the space for installing the half bath is not efficiently used. was there.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems and to provide a half-body bath tub in which the installation space of the half-body bath tub is effectively utilized.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A half-body bath tub according to the present invention is a half-body bath tub having a shallow portion on which the buttocks are placed and a deep bottom portion on which legs are placed, and a functional bathing device is installed below the shallow portion. It is characterized by the following.

[0006]

[Function] In the half-body bathtub of the present invention, a functional bathing device is installed under the shallow bottom of the half-body bathtub,
The space below the shallow bottom can be used effectively.

[0007]

Embodiments will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a half-body bathtub according to an embodiment of the present invention.

A half-body bathtub 1A shown in FIG. 1 is provided with a shallow portion 2 on which the buttocks are placed and a deep portion 3 on which the legs are placed. A circulation pump 4 of a bubble bath tub device for ejecting air bubbles into the half bath tub 1A is provided in a space below the shallow bottom portion 2. The pump 4 sucks hot water in the bathtub 1A through a suction port 5a and a suction pipe 5b, and sends out hot water to a bubble jet nozzle 6 through a pipe 5c. An intake pipe 6a is connected to the nozzle 6, and air is sucked by a negative pressure generated when hot water is ejected from the nozzle 6, and a water flow containing bubbles is ejected from the nozzle 6.

In the half bath tub thus constructed, the space below the shallow bottom portion 2 of the half bath tub 1A is effectively used as the installation space for the pump 4 of the bubble bath apparatus.

In FIG. 1, only one nozzle 6 is shown, but two or more nozzles 6 may be provided. Further, the installation positions of the nozzle 6 and the suction port 5a may be other than those shown.

In the above embodiment, a so-called jet bath type bubble bath apparatus for ejecting a water flow containing air bubbles from the nozzle 6 is installed. However, an air pump is installed instead of the circulation pump 4, and only air bubbles are introduced into the bath tank. You may make it blow in.

In this embodiment, the pump 4 of the bubble bath apparatus is installed in the space below the shallow bottom of the bathtub 1A. However, the water bath apparatus (from the deep bottom in the bathtub 1A). A device for generating air bubbles to apply a load to the bathtub, stimulating the skin surface of the human body, improving blood circulation and providing a relaxing effect, or a pressure injection bath device (strong water flow or eddy current from the wall 9 of the half-body bathtub 1A). A device for causing a load in the bathtub to wake up the body and stimulating the body stiffness and pain to achieve a massage effect may be installed.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a half-body bathtub 1B according to another embodiment of the present invention. Also in this embodiment, a circulation pump 4 for a bubble bath is provided below the shallow bottom 2.

In this embodiment, a foldable table 8 is rotatably attached to a flange 7a on the long side of the bathtub 1B by a hinge (not shown).
The table 8 is configured to be capable of taking a posture retracted from above the bathtub 1B as shown by a solid line in FIG. 2 and a posture covering the deep bottom portion 3 as shown by a two-dot chain line. . This table 8 is one of the entire table.
The plates 8a and 8b having a size of 1/2 are hinged (not shown).
Although it is of a foldable type pivotally connected at step (1), a table composed of a single plate may be employed. Of course, a table in which three or more plates are connected may be used. In addition, the table has flange portions 7 on both long sides.
a, 7b may be provided on the short side flange portion 7
c. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the flange portions 10a and 10b of the concave table 10 may be installed on the flange portions 7a and 7b of the half-body bathtub 1B and employed. As shown in FIG. 5, the recess 10c of the concave table 10 is turned downward, and
The flanges 10a, 10b of the concave table 10 may be installed on the flanges 7a, 7b of B.

By providing the table 8, an audio device such as a television and a stereo is installed on the table 8, so that the user can enjoy watching TV and music while taking a half bath. In addition, reading, eating and drinking can be easily performed.

It is to be noted that a timer alarm device which outputs an alarm by sound or light when the set time elapses may be provided in the half-body bathtub when the bathing time is set. Also,
For example, a device that outputs a voice instruction such as "Please wash your hair next", outputs a desired sound and light in a desired order, and displays characters, figures, symbols, and the like using a liquid crystal or LED. An electronic device with an original program function may be provided.

Although only one shallow portion 2 is provided in the above embodiment, a plurality of shallow portions may be provided. Also,
A plurality of deep bottoms may be provided, and a step may be provided at the bottom of the deep bottom. Further, the deep bottom may be widened to allow a whole body bath, or a plurality of persons may be allowed to take a bath at the same time.

By providing a shallow bottom at the center of the bathtub as shown in FIG. 6 or by providing a deep bottom at the center of the bathtub as shown in FIG. It is possible to enter the bathtub and take a bath. The shape of the outer edge of these bathtubs may be any shape such as a ring shape, a polygonal shape, and a circular shape.

It should be noted that an air conditioner capable of controlling the temperature, humidity, wind direction, wind speed and the like in the bathroom may be provided. Further, an automatic controller for controlling the water level and the water temperature in the bathtub may be provided.
