Abstract

A heated panel is attached to a steel or cast iron bath. By utilising the hot water that is being run for the bath, the cost of warming this part of a metal bath is negligible.

Description

THE BA TH BACK WARMER This invention relates to the heating of the rear section of a metal bath. ( i.e., to heat the back panel of a metal bath, either steel or cast iron, so that the section above the water line of the bath is warm and relaxing to lean against ).
A specific embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: FIGURE 1. shows the situation of the heating unit on the bath, and the plumbing leading to and from it.
FIGURE Z shows the back view of the bath, depicting the radiator panel which is fixed to the bath ( either permanently by spot welding etc, or temporarily by adjustable straps around the bath), and the ducting through the panel.
FIGURE 3. shows the cross-section of a 22mm pipe as compared to the suggested ducting of the radiator panel; which is twice the width and half the height, allowing the same volume of water to flow through it whilst having a greater contact area with the bath side of the radiator plate.
FIGURE 4. shows the adaptation of the ducting to a 22mm pipe (standard pipe size for the UK market).

Claims (2)

CLSMS
1. A radiator panel, either pre-fitted or fitted on site, to a cast-iron or steel bath, insulated, and to be easily plumbed in to the hot water supply prior to the hot water tap for said bath. When the hot water tap is opened, the flow of hot water through the panel will warm the back of the bath.
2. To pre-warm the back of a bath above the water line, utilising the hot water flowing into the bath.
