Description

  The present invention relates to a bathtub having an acupressure effect.

  The history of bathing by mankind began with the ancient Roman baths, and has continued to decline. A simple hot water is generally used as a liquid in the bathtub, but there are various modes such as a hot spring, a sake bath, a steam bath, a milk bath, a herbal bath, and a perfume bath. Under such circumstances, the inner wall of the bathtub was always smooth regardless of the east and west of the ocean, and there was little interest in the inner wall of the bathtub.

  Recently, a shiatsu / massage boom has arrived, and on that boom, there is a bath in which air bubbles, commonly called a jacuzzi bath, are released into a bathtub. Such a jacuzzi bath is said to have a massage effect by the air bubbles being released giving a certain load to the body.

  However, when you enter the jacuzzi bath, you feel that your body feels comfortable due to the load of bubbles, but in fact, you are forcibly moving the muscles of the body, resulting in muscle fatigue as a result. As a result, there was a drawback of gradually feeling tired.

  Moreover, in order to obtain a shiatsu effect at the same time in a relaxed state in a bath, a shiatsu device attached to a conventional bathtub has been proposed (see Patent Document 1).

  However, since such a shiatsu device is a retrofit, not only does it require a means for attaching to the inner wall surface of the bathtub, but it is always left with the shiatsu device immersed in the bathtub or attached to the inner wall surface of the bathtub. It is very unsanitary to drain the bathtub and leave it in a dry state as it promotes the accumulation of dirt and the occurrence of mold.

  As for the upper edge of the bathtub, the conventional bathtub is simply formed in a straight line based on the idea that hot water is filled, and part of it is recessed or otherwise deformed. Did not exist.

  In this regard, Patent Literature 2 proposes a bathtub with a hair tub, in which a hair tub is connected to the bathtub, and a neck mounting recess is provided on the upper edge of the bathtub in the middle.

  However, the proposal related to the bathtub with a shampoo tub is that the shampoo tub and the pillow member are installed extending in the longitudinal direction of the tub. Demand was low.
