Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bath equipped with a water vibrator and a therapeutic method using the same and more particularly to a bath equipped with an intra-water vibration wave generating device and a therapeutic method by using the same device wherein the water contained in a bath is caused to vibrate and flow in circulation to transmit a uniform vibration wave to the physical areas of a user so that a therapeutic effect of alleviating diverence, pains or the like may be attained.
  • the general methods for treating familial glance include the dietetic treatment in which caloric intake is restricted, the exercise therapy in which an increased physical motion is sought, the therapy for correcting physical behavior, the medicinal therapy and the like.
  • these methods are associated with various problems, such as the requirement of the individual's strong willpower and patience, the requirement of allocation of special time and possible accompanying side effects.
  • the present invention which was created to resolve the above-described problem has the object of providing a bath equipped with a water vibrator which causes the water contained in a bath to vibrate at a predetermined frequency and make a circulating flow by means of vibration vanes so that the whole body of a user or a patient may be uniformly shaken to result in promotion of the metabolic activity in physical textures through the effect of physical massaging action and increased blood circulation, whereby diverence or pains may be cured in convenient and effective manner.
  • the another object of the invention is to provide a therapeutic method by using the same arrangement.
  • an arrangement which includes a bath for holding water in it, a vibration generating means provided on one side of the bath, a vibrating member connected to the vibration generating means, the leading end of the vibrating member extending into the inside of the bath, and a plurality of vibration vanes for causing the water contained in the bath to vibrate at a predetermined frequency and to flow in circulation, the vanes being provided at a predetermined slant angle on the vibrating member, wherein the vibrating water in circulation can transmit vibrating waves to a man in the bath over the whole surface of the body in a uniform manner to have the effect of decomposing the bodily fat or alleviating pains.
  • the water vibrating device consists of a vibration generating means 10 provided on one side of the bath 2, a vibrating member 20 connected to the vibration generating means 10, whose leading end extends into the inside of the bath 2, and a plurality of vibration vanes 23 and 23' provided at a predetermined slant angle on the vibrating member 20.
  • the vibration generating means 10 consists of a base 19 provided laterally on the top of a bath 2, plural supporting rods 15 provided vertically in relation to the base 19, a vibrating plate 13 provided horizontally on the supporting rods 15 in movable manner in the vertical direction, buffering springs 17 arranged around the supporting rods 15 for pressing the vibrating plate 13 upward and a vibrating motor 11 provided on the vibrating plate 13.
  • the vibrating motor 11 is so constructed as to vibrate with the operation, because it is provided on its driving shaft with an eccentric weight.
  • the vibrating plate 13 is brought into vertical vibration by driving the vibrating motor 11, so that simultaneously the vibration member 20 extending down to the inside of the bath can be vibrated up and down as well.
  • the vibrating member 20 which is a vertical bar threadedly connected to the underside of the vibrating plate 13 is provided with a number of vibrating vanes 23 and 23' at the predetermined intervals to be dipped in the water in the bath 2.
  • the vibrating vanes 23 and 23' are made of metallic or plastic strips having elasticity, and are formed to be bent at about 15° relative to the horizontal line, at the end of the substantially horizontal short section. As a matter of course, the vibrating vanes are intended to be dipped in the water. Furthermore, out of the vibrating vanes 23 and 23', the vanes 23 positioned in the upper part are formed so that their leading tips are bent upward, while the bottom vane 23' is formed so that its leading tip is bent downward.
  • the vibrating vanes 23 and 23' connected thereto are brought into vibration in the vertical direction to induce waves with a predetermined wavelength in the water so that a uniform vibrating energy can be transmitted to a man in the water over the whole body.
  • the transmittance of vibrating waves brings forth physical massaging action and enhanced blood circulation, which in turn help decompose the bodily fat or cure the pain of the affected parts by activating the metabolism through an increased supply of oxygen to intra-textures of the body.
  • this kind of vibrating hydro-wave helps to resolve the stress and has a favorable influence on the skin health by removing the foreign matter accumulated in the skin to stimulate the circulation of blood.
