Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a shower device for performing a shower hot bath.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional shower device of this type is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No.
The contents described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 0-28656 are shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 1, in the shower device 101 installed in the bathroom 100 of a general household, the shower device 1 is provided to the bather 103 who sits on the chair 102 and takes a shower.
01 and a plurality of spray nozzles 105 provided on the nozzle arms 104 provided on the left and right sides of the shower device 101 (spout angle of about 30 ° to 50 ° in a full cone spray pattern). A hot water shower that is ejected with an object is sprayed toward the front and back of the body surface of the bather 102. Also, the shower device 101
Is configured to be wider than the average shoulder width of an adult male, so that the cold air in the bathroom 100 and the cold wall surface 1
The convection cold air and the cold radiation radiated from 06 are blocked by the surface of the shower device 101 at one end, and the plurality of spray nozzles 1 provided on the left and right nozzle arms 104 are provided.
The bather 103 was wrapped in the hot water shower jetted from 05 to perform the shower bathing action. Also,
In particular, the conventional example was an equipment-type product that involved construction.

[0003]

However, most of the bathrooms in general households in Japan have a size of 0.75 tsubo or less, which is narrow. Therefore, the entire conventional shower device is large in width and height dimensions of the shower main body including the nozzle arm portion, that is, it is configured to be larger than the upper half of the average adult male body, so that there are restrictions on installation conditions. However, even if it could be installed, there was a problem that the washing area became small, bathing activities were hindered, safety was lacking, and there was a feeling of pressure and discomfort.
Therefore, when the nozzle arm is accommodated, the main problem is to make the structure of the main body smaller so as not to hinder the bathing action. Further, since the nozzle arm has a rod-like configuration and is connected in parallel to both side surfaces of the rectangular shower device, the positional relationship between the bather and the spray nozzle, which have different body shapes, becomes extremely wide or narrow. Then, since there is no proportional relationship, there was a problem that the temperature of the jetted hot water shower changed and the comfortable shower bathing could not be satisfied.

Further, since the plurality of spray nozzles provided in the shower device or the nozzle arm are arranged in the same spray pattern (only one kind of spray pattern having a substantially full-cone shape) and are arranged at regular intervals, The hot water shower ejected from each ejection nozzle is ejected in the shape of uneven ridges and valleys and entrains the cold air in the bathroom along the spray flow, and the cold air is complicated from the top, bottom, front, back, left and right of the bather's body surface. There was a problem that it caused a feeling of discomfort due to drafts (that is, a bather is more likely to be cooled in the bathroom by cold air or cold radiation than in a bathtub immersed in warm water).

Further, when taking a shower bath, since only one type of spray nozzle having a conical spray pattern is used without changing the type of spray nozzle that matches the bather's site, the spray is particularly directed to the face and hair. There is a problem in that the fine particles of the hot water shower are scattered and feel uncomfortable.

Further, even if the structure of the conventional example is simply proportionately downsized, a measure for shutting off the cold air entrainment effect and the cold radiation from the wall surface and an appropriate distance relationship between the spray nozzle and the injection target portion are provided. Since it is not maintained (spray nozzle distance widens or is too narrow), it decreases as the distance increases,
In particular, a region such as a hand or feet far from the spray nozzle needs to be sufficiently warmed, but there is a problem that the temperature of the hot water shower is large so that it is cold.

On the other hand, if the width becomes narrower, the temperature of the hot water shower may be higher, and the feeling of hot bathing in the shower may vary, which causes discomfort. This phenomenon is particularly difficult in the winter and the middle of the year because the bath has a low temperature and humidity unlike other rooms, and the same situation can occur even if the bathing interval is interrupted. . There is a problem that the situation may be accelerated in some cases.

Further, there is a strong aspect for the equipment type, the construction is expensive, and there are problems such as a fundamental design balance in downsizing and a wide spread.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the prior art. It is compact and occupies a small area, and it is possible to safely deploy, contract, and store the nozzle arm, which is the central function, and is suitable for bathers of different body shapes. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a shower device in which a whole body shower bath can be comfortably taken.

[0010]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention solves the above-mentioned problems by providing a shower body, recesses provided on both side walls of the shower body, connecting means provided on one wall surface of the recess, and the connection. A nozzle arm connected to the means and at least a plurality of types of spray nozzles are arranged on the shower body and the nozzle arm, and the nozzle arm is opened, closed, retracted, and stored safely on the basis of the shower body. It is a thing.

According to the above invention, although the size of the shower body is smaller than that of the upper half of the adult male bather, the recesses provided on both sides of the shower body and the nozzle arms connected to the recesses are provided. As a result, the nozzle arm expands more freely than the shoulder width of the bather, and the distance relationship is appropriately maintained according to different body shapes.Therefore, there are multiple types of spray provided on the shower body and the nozzle arm. By the nozzle, the sprayed hot water shower greatly suppresses the blocking of the cold bathroom cold airflow to the bather's body surface area and the cooling radiation from the wall surface, and forms a cold air blocking area on the outer circumference of the bather. A comfortable shower bath can be performed by taking a uniform hot water shower in the cold air cutoff region.

Further, the main body of the shower device is small and can be installed in a small bathroom, so that the bathing action is safe, and the pressure and discomfort are alleviated without disturbing. Furthermore, the opening and closing of the nozzle arm and the storage operation can be performed easily, and the spray nozzle provided on the nozzle arm is hidden from the surface, making it safe and smart in design.

[0013]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The invention according to claim 1 comprises a shower main body, and recesses provided on both side wall portions of the shower main body.
The connecting means provided on one wall surface of the recess, the shower arm connected to the connecting means, at least a plurality of types of spray nozzles are arranged on the front surface of the shower body and the back surface of the nozzle arm, and the shower body is provided. Is a structure in which the nozzle arm can be freely opened and closed and stored based on the shower main body.

Then, a nozzle arm is provided in the recesses of both upper wall portions of the shower main body through connecting means, and a plurality of types of spray nozzles are arranged in the nozzle arm, whereby the angle at which the left and right nozzle arms are deployed from the shower main body. By
In the expanded space area of the left and right nozzle arms, bathers from children to adults are wrapped up and the positional relationship with the spray nozzle is maintained while corresponding to each body shape, so the hot water shower sprayed from the spray nozzle, A uniform temperature can be applied to the surface of the bather's body to provide a comfortable and efficient bathing shower.

Further, when the nozzle arm is closed, the nozzle arm is housed in the left and right recesses of the shower body, and the shower body is transformed into a compact structure. Therefore, the shower body installed in the bathroom hardly feels uncomfortable or disturbs the user.

Further, since the shower main body, the nozzle arm, the connecting parts and the like can be downsized with a simple structure, a small and low cost shower device can be realized. In addition, the structure has no irregularities, has a safe and smart design, and the operation of deploying and storing the nozzle arm is easy and anyone can use it easily.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the overall size of the shower main body is made smaller than the upper half of the adult male body, and the length of the nozzle arm is longer than the width of the shower body and shorter than the length thereof. It is a thing.

By making the overall size of the shower main body smaller than the upper half of the adult male body, when the left and right nozzle arms are deployed even though the shower main body is compact, depending on the position of the deployment angle, the child can be It is possible to secure a satisfactory condition of use for all bathers, since it extends beyond the upper body of an adult male.

Further, when the shower arm is widened by making the length of the nozzle arm longer than the width of the shower body (approximately longer than the shoulder width on one side of an average adult male),
The shower arm extends forward of the maximum distance in front of and behind the chest of the bather, and the hot water shower sprayed from a plurality of types of spray nozzles arranged in the shower arm is the upper body region of the bather and both legs, knees and feet. It is possible to spray an area with a uniform hot water shower. This makes it possible to promote the bathing of the shower with a hot water shower and to improve comfort.

Further, this situation can generally cope with the difference in body shapes of bathers. Furthermore, since the length of the nozzle arm is dimensioned to be completely accommodated in the recess,
When used, it works efficiently, and when it is closed, it can be stored in the shower body, so there is no protrusion, it is safe, it is smart in design, and it is possible to emphasize compactness.

The invention according to claim 3 is a shower main body,
The overall structure with the nozzle arms housed in both recesses is formed into a substantially oval elliptical structure, and the structure of the nozzle arm is curved in a substantially crescent shape, and the tip thereof is at least the support shaft portion of the connecting means. Further, the shower main body is configured to be incorporated on the vertical central axis side.

By making the overall shape of the nozzle body and the nozzle arm into an elliptical shape that is substantially oval, there is no corner for a bather (one or more people) who goes into and out of the bathroom and takes a bath. Since there are no parts and it is elliptical, it is safe because there are few accidents such as mutual damage.

Further, the system can be placed anywhere in the bathroom, and regardless of the placement conditions, there is no obstruction or discomfort, no feeling of pressure, and a smart system configuration in terms of design.

Further, the fulcrum of the connecting means is located in the vicinity of both shoulders of the bather, and a nozzle arm curved in a substantially crescent shape from there is bathed while keeping a certain distance from the body surface of the bather. Since it is arranged in front of the person and spreads out, compared to the conventional linear nozzle arm, the distance between the person and the bather is uneven, so that the angle / position / distance dimension is relatively optimal. Therefore, the plurality of types of spray nozzles arranged in the nozzle arm can also maintain an appropriate dimensional distance for the bather, so that the hot water shower to be sprayed is brought into contact with the air in the cold bathroom and the hot water shower is lowered. As it can be suppressed, it is possible to take an efficient shower bath.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the inclination angle at which the extension line of the upper wall surface of the recess and the vertical central axis of the shower main body intersect is an acute angle θ, and the connecting means is provided at a substantially central portion of the upper wall surface of the recess. The support shaft is provided, and the nozzle arm is connected to the support shaft so that it can be opened and closed freely.

Then, the nozzle arm is rotatably arranged at a portion where the connecting means provided on the upper wall surface of the recess is inclined at an acute angle θ with respect to the vertical central axis of the shower body. First, the structure is simple. Is. With this structure, the nozzle arm not only opens and closes in front of the shower body in parallel, but also expands and contracts freely in the front, left, right, up, and down directions. (Up to the child), especially in front of both shoulders, both chests, both ventral side regions, while maintaining a relatively proportional angle-position-distance relationship, and also in the front lower region, that is, both thighs, It is possible to spread from the knee to the area of both feet under proper condition. Therefore, the hot water showers sprayed from the spray nozzles arranged in the nozzle arm are sprayed while maintaining uniform temperature regions. That is, in accordance with the positional relationship between the nozzle arm and the bather, the hot water shower sprayed from a plurality of types of spray nozzles is arranged according to the distance condition so that the temperature does not drop more than necessary.
A bather can perform a whole-body shower bathing action by a hot water shower instead of the conventional bathtub bathing.

By these actions, the bathing of the whole body shower is promoted and the comfort is improved, and the bather can move and adjust the nozzle arm and the spray nozzle in a warm feeling area that suits him or her, so many Can be answered.

Further, the distance between the bather and the nozzle arm can be changed by freely expanding or narrowing the nozzle arm for actions such as washing the hair and washing the body instead of the length at the time of bathing. Since it is possible, the above-mentioned actions can be performed smoothly without any discomfort.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, a plurality of spray nozzles of a plurality of types are arranged in the front portion of the shower body and in the rear portion of the nozzle arm.

Since the arrangement conditions of the plurality of types of spray nozzles are arranged in the front part of the shower body and in the back part of the nozzle arm, for example, when a bather sits down and takes a shower bath, From the spray nozzle arranged in the main body, a hot water shower is sprayed from the neck of the bather to both shoulders and the back region, while from the spray nozzle arranged in the nozzle arm opened about 90 degrees, the bather Since the hot water shower is sprayed from the front front of the chest to the upper part of the lower body, both side areas, and from the knees of the lower body to both foot areas, the warm water shower hits all areas below the lower body of the bather evenly. It can be expected to promote bathing and improve comfort.

On the other hand, when a bather stands and takes a shower bath (especially during the summer season or in the youth), the nozzle arm should be further expanded from the above to be used up to 180 degrees which is almost vertical. become. In this case, all the spray nozzles of the shower body and nozzle arm will spray a hot water shower toward the entire surface of the bather, so the bather can freely move his or her body while taking a shower bath according to his or her needs. You can take a shower bath that will satisfy you.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, a plurality of types of injection nozzles are arranged in a thin portion of a front rear surface of the nozzle arm connected to the connecting means, the thin portion being thinner than the thickness of the shower body. The overall thickness of the nozzle arm is configured to be suppressed to a thickness not exceeding the thickness of the shower body.

Since all of the plurality of types of spray nozzles are arranged in the thin portion on the front rear surface of the nozzle arm, when the nozzle arm is stored in the shower body, the spray nozzle is stored without being damaged. At the same time, since it fits in a plane without protruding from the entire surface of the shower body, it is smart in design.

In the case of expanding and deploying the nozzle arm which is not contained in the shower main body, on the other hand, when retracting and storing the expanded nozzle arm which is in use, in either case, one hand on the side of the shower main body, or Both hands can be safely and smoothly inserted into the thin portion of the nozzle arm, and the nozzle arm can be reliably expanded, contracted, and stored.

According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, the height of the fan-shaped nozzle A provided on the upper portion of the shower main body is at least 90 degrees horizontal when the nozzle arm is deployed at least 90 degrees. It is designed to be higher than the height.

The height of the position of the fan-shaped nozzle A is
The neck of the bather seated on the chair is placed at a position of the spray pattern that is horizontally sprayed from the fan-shaped nozzle A by being arranged higher than the horizontal position of the wide-angle nozzle installed on the nozzle arm deployed at least 90 degrees. By hitting the approximately central portion of the bath, the bather and the general shower mode can be positioned for almost any body shape, and the positioning operation of the shower device can be easily determined. Can be done.

Further, at least the tip portion of the spray pattern sprayed from the wide-angle nozzle can be suppressed from scattering to the bather's face or hair portion even a little, so that it does not feel uncomfortable and is comfortable and comfortable. You can take a nice shower bath.

According to an eighth aspect of the present invention, the support shaft, which is the base shaft of the connecting means, has a cylindrical structure, and the angle adjusting means is provided on the outer periphery of the supporting shaft, and the angle adjusting means is provided inside the shower body. It is arranged so that a part of the support shaft is extended to the outside of the recess of the shower body, and a nozzle arm is connected to the extended portion of the extended support shaft.

Further, the support shaft of the connecting means is formed into a cylindrical shape, the angle adjusting means portion of the outer periphery thereof is provided in the shower body portion, and the shower body and the nozzle arm portion are provided in the extension portion of the support shaft. By connecting,
The connecting mechanism part is compactly configured, the connecting means part is contained within the limited thickness of the shower main body, and the nozzle arm is also connected only by the support shaft, so that a thin structure is possible, and it is arranged on the thin nozzle arm. It is possible to realize a configuration in which a plurality of types of spray nozzles are arranged without any trouble.

According to a ninth aspect of the invention, the opening / closing movable range of the nozzle arm can be arbitrarily adjusted from 0 to 180 degrees by the angle adjusting means.

By optionally adjusting the opening and closing angle of the nozzle arm from 0 to 90 degrees and 180 degrees, the bathing shower for a bather can be widely used from the sitting posture to the standing posture, and the nozzle arm can move forward. Since it does not protrude into the bathroom, the washing space in the bathroom can be used extensively, increasing the degree of freedom and increasing the practical value.

In particular, when taking a shower bath in the seated posture described above, since the nozzle arm is used by spreading the nozzle arm about 90 degrees, the spray nozzle arranged on the shower main body is
A hot water shower is sprayed from the bather's neck to both shoulders and the back area, and from the front of the bather's front, the chest and lower upper body, both side areas, and both knees of the lower body are sprayed from the front of the bather. Since the hot water shower is intensively sprayed from the part to both foot regions, it can be expected to promote shower bathing and improve comfort.

On the other hand, when taking a shower bath in a standing posture (especially during the summer or in the youth), the nozzle arm is further expanded from the above to be used up to 180 degrees which is almost vertical. In this case, all the spray nozzles of the shower main body and the nozzle arm spray a hot water shower toward the entire surface of the bather. The bather can freely move around and enjoy the shower bathing. In addition, you can bathe in a hot water shower while standing and sitting in the full-body bathing shower mode while washing your hair, and use conditions such as the physical condition and mood of the bather, conditions such as season and bathing time, morning shan, sports. After exercise, children, handicapped persons, elderly people, etc. can freely respond to various conditions such as bathing for nursing care by shower, and further cleaning of pets such as dogs and cats, etc. A practical and multifunctional shower device was realized.

According to a tenth aspect of the present invention, the water supply hose is penetrated through the support shaft having a cylindrical structure.

Since a limited thin pipe for the nozzle arm can be pierced through the cylindrical support shaft, the efficiency of the pipe assembly can be improved, the space can be reduced, and the bent portion in the pipe constituent portion can be reduced. It is less likely to occur, the pipe resistance is reduced, and no external force is applied between the pipes when opening and closing the nozzle arm.Therefore, the nozzle arm can be operated smoothly, and the hose hindrance is also suppressed. The durability is improved.

It is dimensioned to be wider than the collection.

The shower body 11 is fixed by fixing means (not shown) or a detaching means (not shown) exclusively provided on the inner back portion of the shower body 1 or the wall surface 7 of the bathroom 6 as shown in FIG. ing. For example, the fixing means (not shown) and the like are heat-resistant double-sided tape
It may be fixed by means of a plate (not shown) using an adhesive, or a suction cup made of rubber, a resin material or the like, a dedicated fixing metal fitting, etc. (neither is shown). At this time, in the shower body 1, a pillar 8 fixed to the lower central portion of the shower body 1 so as to be able to expand and contract is fixed to a wall surface 7 of the bathroom 6 and a pedestal 9 installed at a corner of the floor. The load of the shower main body 1 is fixed and supported. A bather 10 is seated on a chair 11 arranged in front of the shower body 1.

Next, in the whole-body shower bathing mode, a fan-shaped nozzle A12 which jets a thin film horizontally in a fan shape from the neck region of the bather 10 to both left and right shoulders is symmetrically provided on the upper part of the shower body 1. Two each or at least one (not shown) in the central part, and two wide-angle nozzles 13 for wide left and right concentric sprays in the central part of the lower part of the shower main body 1 to the left and right respectively. Alternatively, at least one (not shown) is provided, while the nozzle arm 3 is hung in the direction from the tip to the connecting means 4 in order,
The bather 1 uses the swirl-type nozzle A14 that sprays in a sharp-angled cone shape while pulsating and stimulating the chest and abdomen of the bather 10.
0 toward the chest direction, while directing a swirl type nozzle B15 of a direct spray type with a slightly large particle diameter to the knees and feet while swinging pulsating in a relatively narrow acute cone shape in the thighs, knees, legs, and foot regions. In addition, a fan-shaped nozzle B1 that ejects widely in a flat fan shape at least at an obtuse angle while contacting those body surface portions from both shoulders toward the body side, the ventral side, the thigh side, the knee lower side, etc.

Two (the same specifications as the swirl type nozzle 14 provided in the nozzle arm 3) and the like are provided at least approximately above and below the wide-angle nozzle 13 provided in the central portion of the shower body 1.

The means for switching between the whole-body shower bathing mode and the local shower bathing mode is provided with a shower switching lever 17 at the lower right portion of the shower body 1, and the rotation angle of the shower switching lever 17 is, for example, horizontal. Is set for the whole body shower bath mode and can be changed to the local shower bath mode by tilting 45 ° downward from the horizontal angle. (Note that the shower switching means is connected to the shower switching lever 17 and is incorporated in the lower portion of the shower body 1 and is not shown.)
A main pipe connection port 18 projects from the lower portion of the shower body 1, and a mode switching means 20 for switching hot water supply to the shower body 1 and the hand shower 19 is connected to the tip of the main pipe connection port 18. A part of the previous mode switching means 20 is connected with a connection hose 22 to a thermo-type mixing stopper 21 (hereinafter, referred to as a mixing stopper) which is now generally installed in domestic households.

The length of the main pipe connection port 18 can be changed according to various bathroom conditions and installation conditions. Therefore, the fitting 24 of the hand shower 19 that was originally connected to the connecting portion 23 of the mixing stopper 21 is removed, and the fitting 24
Is newly connected to a part of the mode switching means 20 this time.

The mode switching means 20 is provided with a switching knob 25 for switching between the shower body 1 and the hand shower 19 installed this time.

And a shower switching means (not shown) (not shown) may be integrated. That is, there are means and methods for switching the three modes of the whole body shower bathing mode, the local shower bathing mode, and the hand shower mode by switching the shower switching lever 17 in three directions, and in consideration of convenience,
I will add it here again).

Further, the above-mentioned piping condition is illustrated and explained in detail in the piping system diagram of FIG. Next, a situation in which various spray nozzles are sprayed on the bather 10 will be briefly described.

First, in the case of the whole body shower bathing mode,
Shower switching lever 17 on the lower right side of the shower body 1
When, for example, it is driven horizontally, the whole body shower bathing mode is set, and the fan-shaped nozzle A12 (2
From the back of the bather's 10 neck, a fan-shaped thin film horizontal hot water shower curtain E (Figs. 2, 3, 4) is formed.
In addition, the wide-angle nozzle 13 (2
From the individual) to the wide-angle conical shape F (FIG. 3) toward the back area of the bather 10, while the swirl-type nozzle 14 provided at the tip of the nozzle arm 3 swirls and gives stimulation. In the hot water shower G (Figs. 2, 3, 4) in the shape of an acute cone,
Also, from the second swivel nozzle B15 (two) from the tip of both nozzle arms 3, swirl pulsation in a relatively narrow acute-angled cone shape in the areas of both thighs, knees, legs, and feet is provided with a slight particle size. In a large direct spray hot water shower H (Figs. 2, 3, 4),
Further, from the third fan-shaped nozzle B16 (two) from the tip end of both nozzle arms 3, the nozzle arm is more obtuse and has a larger flow rate than the fan-shaped nozzle A12. From the part 3 toward the front of the bather 10 from the shoulders thereof toward the body side, the abdomen side, the thigh side, the lower knee side, etc., and contacting those body surface portions, the hot water shower curtain I (Figs. 2, 3, 4)
Further, both hot water shower curtains I are set so as to converge toward the front.

Furthermore, 4 from the tip of both nozzle arms 3
From the thirteen wide-angle nozzles 13 (two), the water is sprayed widely and intensively on both shoulders and upper arms of the bather to the hot-water shower J having a relatively high density and a nearly obtuse angle and a full cone shape. .

Particularly, the important condition in the whole body shower bathing mode is that the shower body 1 is narrower than the shoulder width of the bather 10. Therefore, in order to block and suppress cold air and cold radiation from the bathroom 6 and the wall surface 7, a fan-shaped nozzle is used. The fan-shaped thin-film horizontal hot water shower curtain E formed by A12 and the fan-shaped thin-film vertical hot water shower curtain I formed by the fan-shaped nozzle B16 of the nozzle arm 3 act to act on both hot-water shower curtains E. Since the bather 10 is seated so as to be completely wrapped in the shower curtain region K (FIG. 4) oriented by the hot water shower curtain I, the bather 10 is directed toward the shower curtain region K (FIG. 4). From the wide-angle nozzle 13 arranged in the shower body 1, there is a hot water shower F facing the back, both shoulder regions, etc., and the swirl nozzle A provided in the nozzle arm 3. The hot water shower G faces both chests and upper arm regions from 14 and the hot water shower H faces both thighs, knees, legs, and foot regions from the swivel nozzle B15.
However, from the wide-angle nozzle, the hot water shower J, etc., which concentrates on both shoulder regions, is effective, and the position and direction of the spray nozzle and the body surface of the user are concentrated and appropriate positional relationship. Therefore, the warm water shower group is sprayed evenly on the body surface of the bather 10 while maintaining an appropriate temperature, and the whole body shower bath is performed.

Next, a local shower bathing mode (FIG. 3)
In this case, if the shower switching lever 17 on the lower right side of the shower body 1 is tilted, for example, 45 ° downward from the horizontal angle, the local shower bathing mode is set. Then, as a local shower bathing mode, four swirling nozzles A14 provided so as to face the hard bones and spine region of bathing 10 in particular, about half the flow rate of the whole body shower bathing mode vigorously swirls. Meanwhile, a hot water shower L that gives stimulation is jetted. Therefore, since the stimulating hot water shower hits the local parts of the hard bones and the back muscle area, the user can feel a little like a massage action and can comfortably and comfortably take a hot water shower bath.

Next, the operation, action and effect will be described.
First, the bather 10 immediately enters the bathroom 6 naked in the summer to prepare for the shower bath, but is dressed in the middle or winter, and the chair 1 where the bather 10 sits in front of the shower body 1
1 is installed, and the chair 11 is preliminarily seated for preparation, and the height of the shower main body 1 is adjusted (adjusting means) so that the fan-shaped nozzle A12 of the shower main body 1 is located substantially horizontally behind the neck. Is not shown). Then, the nozzle arm 3 housed in the shower main body 1 is spread to the left and right so as to be lifted by both hands or one hand, and installed slightly above the shoulder width of the user.
