Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electrically heated sauna oven which conforms to the introductory section of the independent patent claim.
  • the sauna oven reguires a determined space both as for the width and the depth. It is difficult to fit a sauna oven in the fairly closed guarters of today.
  • the maintenance of an electrically heated sauna oven may bring about problems.
  • the oven stones must be dismounted from the top of the elements as well as from between them before the resistors can be reached.
  • the object of the present invention is to introduce a new type of electrically heated sauna oven whereby the above mentioned drawbacks, among others, can be avoided.
  • the electrically heated sauna oven of the invention is characterized by the novel features described in the first patent claim.
  • the electrically heated sauna oven of the present invention needs little maintenance and is depthwise fitted in a small space.
  • the stone elements, particularly soap rock elements, can be easily replaced when necessary.
  • the electrically heated sauna oven of the present invention requires extremely little care, is simple in structure and easy to install.
  • various sizes of sauna ovens can be constructed by employing different numbers of similar stone elements.
  • figure 1 is a front-view illustration of an electrically heated sauna oven of the invention
  • figure 2 is an illustration of the sauna oven of figure 1, seen along the cross-section A-A;
  • figure 3 shows the stone element from below;
  • figure 4 is an illustration of the element of figure 3, seen along the cross-section B-B;
  • figure 5 is a front-view Illustration of a sauna oven of the invention, which oven is built in the wall of the sauna;
  • figure 6 shows the sauna oven of figure 5, seen along the cross-section C-C.
  • the electrically heated sauna oven of the invention of figures 1 and 2 comprises a housing 1, a number of stone elements 2, particularly soap rock elements, and a number of electric resistor elements 3, which are arranged in connection to the stone elements, and whereto electric power is supplied by means of the control unit 4.
  • the stone elements 2 are slabs which are adjacently fastened to the housing 1.
  • the electric resistor elements 3 are fitted inside each stone element 2.
  • the electric resistor elements 3, six altogether in the described embodiments, are switchted in pairs coupled in series and connected through the control unit 4 to each phase of a three-phase net.
  • the control unit 4 can be any type of previously known control unit which is used in connection with electrically heated sauna ovens and whereby the resistor elements 3 are connected to the electric network, controlled by means of for instance a thermostat.
  • the housing 1 is formed of a plate-like underlay. In figures 1 and 2, the housing is installed in a vertical position in the sauna wall 8.
  • the housing 1 is provided with fastening supports 9, whereby the fastening to the wall 8 is carried out. If necessary, the housing 1 can also be provided with auxiliary legs 10, which support the sauna oven against the floor 11.
  • the stone elements 2 are advantageously slabs with a similar form, in this case a regular quadrangle.
  • the stone elements are mutually replaceable, and by using these similar stone elements, various sizes of electrically heated sauna ovens can be compiled by changing the number of the elements.
  • the front surface 2a of the stone elements 2 is advantageously roughed or otherwise made uneven, for instance provided with recesses 12.
  • the purpose of the roughening or other unevenness is to improve the
  • the stone elements 2 are fastened to the housing 1 preferably in a removable fashion. Thus any stone elements that are for one reason or another damaged during use, can be replaced with new equivalent elements.
  • Each stone element can be provided with fastening screws 7 or with other fastening members, whereby they are fastened to the housing 1.
  • the said stone elements 2 are advantageously soap rock elements.
  • Soap rock is a greyish alteration product of a rock type containing just a little of silicon acid and is mainly composed of talcum and magnesite or dolomite. It is easily workable stone material which endures acids and alkalis relatively well and is fairly resistant to changes in the temperature.
  • soap rock is famous for its
  • Figures 3 and 4 illustrate how the electric resistor element is fitted inside the stone element 2, which is advantageously a soap rock element.
  • the electric resistor element 3, which is advantageously in the form of wire, is fitted in the groove 5 arranged on the back surface 2b of the stone element 2, and the groove 5 is at least partly filled with mortar 6, preferably fire-resistant mortar.
  • the groove which is arranged on the back surface 2b of the stone element 2 is relatively narrow and deep in shape.
  • the depth s of the groove 5 is for instance half of the thickness b of the stone element 2, and the width k of the groove is a third of the depth s thereof. It is obvious that these values are only advisory and that remarkable deviations from them are possible without any essential changes in the operation of the stone element.
  • the groove 5 is arranged to circulate the back surface 2b of the stone element in two parallel grooves 5a, 5b, at a distance a from each other and united to each other.
  • the distance a is constant, but variations are also possible.
  • the purpose is to make the groove 5 and the electric resistor element 3 fitted therein to cover the surface of the stone element 2 as evenly as possible, so that the heat delivered by the resistor element would also spread evenly over the whole stone element.
  • FIGS 5 and 6 illustrate a sauna oven of the invention, which oven is built in the wall of the sauna.
  • the sauna wall 13 there is arranged a recess 14.
  • the fitting frame 15 is fitted in the recess 14 and attached in place.
  • the housing 1 of the sauna oven together with the stone elements 2 is fastened to the fitting frame 15, which may be provided with suitable brackets or other fastening members.
  • the purpose of the fitting frame 15 is to seal and insulate the recess 14 in the sauna wall so that moisture from the air inside the sauna cannot enter the structures of the wall 13.
  • the fitting frame 15 is a basin-like member, which can be fitted in the sauna wall, advantageously to the recess 14 provided in the wall. At least partly inside the fitting frame 15, there are arranged the housing 1 and stone elements 2 of the sauna oven. The stone elements may even be located on the same level as the surface of the wall 13, as is illustrated in figure 6.
  • the fitting frame 15 can also be realized so that the housing 1 of the sauna oven, which is composed of a plate-like member, is directly formed to serve as the fitting frame. In that case there is no need for a separate fitting frame 15, but the housing 1 is employed as the fitting frame.
  • the electrically heated sauna oven of the invention can be provided with bars 16 or the like extending from side to side, as is illustrated in figure 5.
  • the bars can be arranged to extend in a parallel fashion from top to bottom. These bars serve as safety protection when bathing in the sauna. They prevent the bathers from accidentally falling against the hot stone elements 2.
  • the housing 1 of the sauna oven of the invention is realized as a platelike underlay.
  • the housing 1 can also be realized for instance by means of a partly vertically installed plate-like underlay or by means of an underlay which can at least partly be installed at a sharp angle, i.e. with an angle of inclination which gradually changes when proceeding downwards.
  • the housing is set in an at least partly horizontal position, or that the stone elements fastened thereto are at a deviant angle with respect to the underlay.
