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.
There was a thing as described in 0-28656 gazette. As shown in FIG. 14, this shower device 1 is a shower device 1 installed in a bathroom 2 inside or outside a house or in a dedicated shower room, and has a certain spread (that is, a certain extent) to a bather 3 who sits down and takes a hot bath. , The ejection patterns are all conical, and the ejection angle is in the range of about 30 ° to 50 °), and a plurality of ejection nozzles 4 ejected with a constant angle are directed toward the front surface and a part of the rear surface of the bather 3. The nozzle arm 5 or a part of the shower device 1 is installed at intervals. The hot water shower ejected from the plurality of ejection nozzles 4 is adapted to take a shower bath while being ejected in an uneven shape at intervals in front, back, left and right of the lower body of the bather 3.

[0003]

However, the seating surface position of the seating means is fixed when the shower is used, and in order to spray the shower according to the body shape, the arm attached to the main body is moved. Was doing. However, in order to be adjustable for everyone in this way, there is a problem that the shower device including the arm portion has a large width and depth and cannot be installed unless the bathroom is large. Also, even if it could be installed, the washing space became smaller, and I felt a feeling of pressure and discomfort. On the other hand, if the shower device body is downsized so that it can be installed in a small bathroom, the arm portion becomes short, and there is a new problem that it is not possible to eject at a proper temperature to the feet and the front of the body. In addition, since the positional relationship between the seat surface and the shower body is fixed, if you try to change the position where the hot water hits your body, you need to change the direction of the spray nozzle or move the hips above the seat surface, It may be difficult or burdensome for elderly people who are weak. Moreover, since the height of the seat surface cannot be changed, hot water may be applied to the head of a person with a small body or a child.

In addition, especially in the winter and the middle season, the bathroom of a general household has a low temperature, and if the bathing interval is interrupted, it is more difficult to warm up due to low temperature and high humidity. Therefore, in the conventional shower device, for a while after bathing, that is, until the body warms, the jet airflow generated by the jet nozzles arranged at regular intervals entrains the cool air in the bathroom, and the cold air is generated. ,
There was a situation in which a complex wind draft was applied from the top, bottom, front, back, left, and right of the body surface of the bather, which was uncomfortable.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and to provide a shower device that is small in size, occupies a small area, and uniformly warms the whole body of everyone regardless of the size of the body.

[0006]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has a shower main body, a seating means on which a bather sits, and a plurality of spray nozzles provided in the shower main body for ejecting a fluid. The seating means is provided with a swinging means for substantially reciprocating movement.

According to the above invention, since the seat surface can be moved back and forth and left and right while sitting on the seat surface, the body is optimally exposed to hot water without the burden of standing up while taking a shower. Can be moved to any position.

Further, since the bather himself can swing the seat surface with his toes as fulcrums depending on the mood of the bather, the degree of relaxation is improved. Further, if the shower main body is made small, it is difficult to arrange the spray nozzle that encloses the body, but it becomes possible to apply hot water to the whole body by freely moving the body. Therefore, a bather can take a comfortable shower bath without taking a shower while being exposed to cold air.

[0009]

Therefore, by adjusting the position where the body is exposed to the hot water without standing up, even a large person can spray the hot water on the whole body. In addition, depending on the mood at the time of bathing, it becomes possible to freely move the body to a portion where the jet flow ejected from the spray nozzle is strong, so that the user can feel relaxed.

According to a second aspect of the invention, in addition to the first aspect of the invention, there is provided a moving means capable of freely adjusting the height of the seat surface of the chair.

The height of the seat surface can be adjusted according to the body size when taking a bath in the shower, and when the seat surface is moved back and forth, the fatigue can be adjusted to a small level so that the swinging state can be enjoyed. become. By adjusting the height to a more appropriate level, it is possible to prevent hot water from spraying from the shower body onto the head or face, or conversely, bathing while spraying hot water from the head to the feet. Becomes

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in addition to the first or second aspect of the present invention, there is provided height adjusting means capable of freely adjusting the installation height of the main body.

The invention according to claim 4 has an arm provided on the shower main body, and a plurality of spray nozzles for ejecting fluid provided on the arm, the shower device according to any one of claims 1 to 3. And

When the arm is positioned above the side of the body, water such as hot water, which is a fluid, is sprayed from the spray nozzle so that the entire body can be sprayed from the shoulder to the foot. Therefore, even if it is small, a warm feeling of the whole body can be secured.

A fifth aspect of the present invention is the shower apparatus according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, further comprising a film-like spray nozzle for spraying a film-like fluid that blocks cold air around the shower bather. To do.

Hot water, which is a shower curtain-like fluid spouted from the film spray nozzle, is spouted substantially horizontally near the upper part of the body (neck and shoulders), and at the same time from the upper arm to both flanks and the thigh side. While making a hot water shower curtain almost vertically so as to widely cover both sides of the human body to the foot,
Since it is jetted to the body side part, the cold airflow from the left and right sides of the body and around the upper part is blocked, and a part of the warm water is efficiently and directly jetted to the body side part. Therefore, a comfortable and effective hot water shower bath can be performed without giving a "cool feeling" to the bather.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a shower device according to any one of the first to fifth aspects, which is provided with a flow path switching means for switching a spray state of a plurality of spray nozzles for ejecting a fluid.

Then, spraying is carried out from a part or all of the main body and the arm portion. Therefore, not only when warming the whole body but also when washing a body part with detergent or the like, it is possible to prevent the cold while preventing the detergent from flowing.
