In this embodiment, although not shown, the connecting means 210 may have a composite structure in which one of the long sides is connected by high frequency welding and the other of the long sides is connected by a fastener or a fixing piece. . Further, as shown in FIG. 5, a sealing member 290 and a magic tape (registered trademark) may be installed inside the connecting portion so as to prevent inflow of outside air and discharge of inside air.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the lower mat 1
The sealing members 260a and 260b are provided on the short side of 00. The sealing members 260a and 260b are connected to the upper mat 200 via a separable structure (fastener or the like) so as to close the tunnel outlet. Among these, one of the sealing members 260a is formed with a through hole for letting the neck of the user out of the tunnel.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, the lower mat 10
The opening means 310 is provided so that the front part of the upper mat 200 in the long side direction can be opened when the 0 and the upper mat 200 are connected in a dome shape. This opening means 31

00 is provided on the long side of the rail 300a, and a roller 310a provided on the auxiliary mat 200a and sliding along the rail 300a.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, opening means 310 is provided.
The upper mat 200 may be configured by an auxiliary mat 200b formed by cutting a front end of the upper mat 200 from one end to an upper end, and a hinge that opens the auxiliary mat 200b. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the opening means 310 is formed in a shape in which a front end of the upper mat 200 is cut from one end to an upper end, and the auxiliary mat 200b covers the upper mat 200. The roller 310a to be moved to the above position and the rail 300a formed on the upper mat 200 so as to correspond thereto may be configured.

Also, as shown in FIG. 9, opening means 310.
May be composed of a soft material auxiliary mat 200c formed so as to cover the front part of the upper mat 200, and a fastener 310c connecting the upper end of the auxiliary mat 200c to the through hole. In addition, the above-mentioned auxiliary mat 200
The a and 200c may be formed in the same laminated structure as the upper mat 200. Further, both end portions of the auxiliary mat 200b may be connected by a detachable structure 210b that is detachably connected.

The operation of this embodiment having the above-mentioned structure will be described below. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4,
The short side of the upper mat 200 is formed longer than the short side of the lower mat 100. The upper mat 200 is provided with a plurality of reinforcing bars 220 stretched in the short side direction. By connecting the long sides of both mats, the upper mat 2
00 becomes a dome shape. At this time, due to the natural bending of the reinforcing bar 220, the upper mat 200, which is a heavy object,
The arc shape of is kept stable.

In this state, when power is supplied through the power terminals 120b of the lower mat 100 and the upper mat 200, the electric heating device 12 provided on the inner layer of both mats.
0 heats up. The electric heating device 120 includes a seat 110.
The heating wire 120a arranged between the layers a and 110b is used to uniformly heat the entire mat. As the electric heating device 120 thus generates heat, the heat is transferred to the radiator sheet 130 arranged on the inner surface of the dome. The radiator sheet 130 is configured by filling the inside of the sheet body 130b with particles of the radiator 130c crushed to a certain particle size. Since each particle of these radiators 130c is fine, the far infrared rays are uniformly and efficiently radiated by being heated.

On the other hand, the electromagnetic wave radiated from the electric heating device 120 can be greatly suppressed by interposing the radiator 130c therebetween. As a result, German W. B.
According to the measurement result by the electromagnetic wave measuring device manufactured by LEE, the electromagnetic wave was below the measurement limit on the surface of the radiator sheet 130. In addition, a sealing member 290 is provided at a connecting portion between the lower mat 100 and the upper mat 200. In addition, semi-circular sealing members 260a,
260b is provided. This sealing member 260a is provided with a through hole, and the user puts his head out of the dome through this through hole. At this time, the through hole is closed by the neck of the user.

As described above, since the inside of the dome is appropriately sealed by the sealing member 290 and the sealing members 260a and 260b, it is possible to trap the air heated in the dome, and the temperature inside the dome can be efficiently maintained. It becomes possible to raise in a short time. On the other hand, in the configuration shown in FIG. 6, about 1/3 of the entire length of the auxiliary mat 200a slides over the upper mat 200 so that the depth of the dome portion is shortened. Usually, in a dome-type sauna device having a long depth, the user has to enter the deep part of the dome shape while shifting the body while lying down, and the user is forced to perform an unreasonable operation. However, in the configuration shown in FIG. 6, the depth of the dome portion is shortened, so that the user can insert the body into the dome without difficulty. After the user lays down in this way, the user himself or an assistant slides the auxiliary mat 200a to the original position to return to the normal usage pattern of the dome type sauna device.

Further, in the structure shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, by opening the auxiliary mats 200a and 200b via hinges or the like, one side of the upper mat 200 on the front side of the long side thereof can be greatly opened. Even in this configuration, the user can insert the body into the dome without difficulty. After the user lays down in this way, the user himself or his / her assistant closes the auxiliary mats 200a and 200b to their original positions, thereby returning to the normal usage pattern of the dome type sauna device.

The auxiliary mats 200a and 200b shown in FIGS. 6, 7, and 8 have the same laminated structure as the upper mat 200. Therefore, like the upper mat 200, the auxiliary mats 200a and 200b also radiate heat and far infrared rays into the dome. Furthermore, in the configuration shown in FIG.
A fastener 310c that cuts the central line to the through hole is provided on the auxiliary mat 200c made of a soft material. When the fastener 310c is opened, the through hole is widened, so that the user can insert the body into the dome without difficulty. After the user lies down in this way, the user himself or an assistant closes the fastener 310c to return to the normal usage pattern of the dome-type sauna device. Note that the specific embodiment has been described here.
However, all embodiments that do not depart from the spirit and field of the present invention described in the claims are within the scope of the present invention.

[0028]

As described above, according to the present invention, since heat and far infrared rays are radiated to the limited space in the dome, the dome type sauna device capable of efficiently promoting the sweating action of the user is provided. To be realized. In particular, when a radiator sheet in which various ores are encapsulated in a granular form is arranged in the dome, far infrared radiation in the dome can be further enhanced. The far infrared rays warm the user's body from the core, and a healthy person can promote perspiration of about 1.0 to 1.5 L in about 40 minutes. For sweat at this time, other than normal sweat
Excessive excretion from sebaceous and eccrine glands is contained. As a result, harmful wastes such as heavy metals can be efficiently excreted out of the body.

Further, since the upper mat forms a semi-circular dome, the heat and far infrared rays radiated from this dome portion are concentrated so as to focus on the upper surface of the user's body lying on the lower mat 100. . Therefore, not only the lower surface of the body directly contacting the lower mat 100, but also the upper surface can be efficiently heated. Therefore, it is possible to evenly warm the entire body of the user and efficiently promote the sweating action from the entire body.

Further, the upper mat forms a semi-circular dome by the bending of the reinforcing bar while being connected to the lower mat. Therefore, the upper mat alone can be used as a flat mat. Therefore, it is possible to change the form of the dome type sauna device to a large area mat type sauna device in which an upper mat and a lower mat are spread.
