Description

Rocking bathtub >

The invention relates to a rocking bathtub. with two side walls, a front and a rear wall, a bottom that is continuous at the head end into the front wall passes over and with a cover at the foot end, with the side walls and the front at the head end after are formed above and wherein the front wall continuously merging into a curved cover forms is (FR-PS 528 628).

The present invention is concerned with the generation of fall or surf by be special shaping create waves by the rocking movement of the tub, so that in addition to the cleaning effect of the water on the The person in the rocking bath also has a massage effect and thus stimulates the circulation will.

The invention is characterized in that the bathtub with an increasing from the foot end to the middle and

and from there to the arched abutment of decreasing width is formed and that the upper parts of the side walls are inclined inwards at the head end.

The rocking motion can be achieved in the following ways:

1, By a helper, who is standing at the head of the bathtub, the upper edge of the bathtub in rhythmic strokes ■ pulls towards you and then pushes back again.

2. By the bather himself by holding on with both ( "\ hands on the edges of the pan, then the

Tilt your upper body back while pulling your legs up at the same time. By shifting your weight, it rolls the tub initially backwards and the water flows over the bather's body. After that, the bather tends at the same time stretching the one forward so that the tub rolls forward and that Water now washes around the body in the opposite direction.

If these movements are repeated three to four times, the wave at the head end is so strong that it hits from above the bather falls (fall or surf wave effect). In particular due to the inward inclination of the side wall C 'the camber wave is brought together and thus reinforced. By reducing the width of the bathtub at the head end, the water is also splashed over from the side Avoided over the edge of the tub.

One . Embodiment of the invention is hereinafter For example, explained with reference to the drawing.

In the bathtub shown in the figures, the developed bottom has the shape of a fish.

The foot end is about 35 cm wide. The bottom widens to 80 cm towards the middle and tapers to ¹ 10 cm towards the head end. Here it ends in a roll of 5 cm in diameter and 40 cm in width (Fig. 1 and 2).

The side walls are at right angles to the bottom edge. Only in the last third, towards the head end, do they incline inside. This is where the top and bottom edges end, if in the roll of 5 cm in diameter, those of the elevation serves for stability and serves to ensure that the water breaks there when swinging and falls on the bather.

Bulges or profiles on the upper edges of the side walls

should prevent the water from spilling over. aside from that they serve to stabilize the side walls. At the bottom of the floor there will be two to three semicircular bars (Skids) with a half-diameter of 2 cm attached or incorporated, which allow easy unrolling of the tub.

The trough can also have a different cross-section, e.g. oval, i.e. with rounded side walls between the bottom and the top edge. Furthermore could also There should be a footrest in the tub to facilitate rocking movements or give the bather more support admit. A cold line, attached to the foot end, could make the rocking movement easier. A water drainage device could be installed on the side or at the foot end. .

Zinc sheet metal, coated sheet metal, or plastic material can be used.

The sizes of the tubs can be chosen arbitrarily, for adults, children, etc. It is crucial that the proportions stay and the rocking movements easy to

At the foot end of the tub is provided with a cover approx. KO cm long to prevent the water from breaking out when rocking forwards. The bottom surface narrows towards the middle - the side walls are up to then perpendicular to the bottom surface - it widens and then tapers sharply in the last third, 'whereby in this part the side surfaces are no longer perpendicular to the outer edge, but slope inwards, in order to achieve a larger constriction and also to prevent the wave from breaking out over the edge of the tub.

From Fig. 3 it can be seen how the water constriction is generated and the unrolling of the tub takes place Water falls into the center of the tub.
