Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bathtub lid capable of sufficiently achieving sauna effect in a household bath by covering a head with the bathtub lid to create a sealed space.SOLUTION: A bathtub lid (1) of the present invention is formed to be capable of achieving a sauna effect in a household bath and covering a head (11), which is different from a conventional bathtub lid. That is, when bathing, the bathtub lid is bulged upward such that the head (11) does not make contact with the bathtub lid (1). However, the bulge is a bellow type, which can be extended as required, and therefore becomes flat-shaped like a general bathtub lid.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2

Description

The present invention relates to a bath lid having a sauna effect function.

Usually, the bath lid is installed on the upper surface of the bath for the purpose of preventing the temperature of the hot water from dropping, and when actually taking a bath, the lid is removed, or a part of the lid is shifted and the body is put in the bathtub.

The bath lid is generally removed because the space between the hot water surface and the lid is narrow with the lid on, and it is difficult to bathe in a normal posture in that state.

When taking a bath by removing the lid or shifting a part of the lid, the steam escapes upward, and the sufficient sauna effect intended by the present invention cannot be obtained.

In general, half-body bathing is said to be good for health, but half-body bathing inevitably has less satisfaction with the warm bathing effect than when bathing to the neck.

Especially in winter, the temperature in the bathroom is not very high, which may cause hot water cooling or a cold.

Conventionally, as a lid for a bath aiming at a sauna effect, one capable of taking out only the head is known. For example, "Registered utility model No. 3074504" has a bath lid that allows you to put your head out. A bath lid is devised on the upper surface of the bath, and the steam is contained by opening the door and taking out the head from the space so that it can be used as a steam sauna. If it is closed, it can be used for hot water warming. "

In addition, the “household simple sauna bath lid” according to Japanese Patent Publication No. 2009-273441 prevents the temperature of the hot water bath from falling during hot water supply and enhances the metabolic effect during bathing by dividing the end of the home bath lid into three parts. I can do it.
By the way, the bath lid having a function of a conventional sauna effect is configured to take a bath in a state where a part of the bath lid is opened and the head protrudes upward from the bath lid. Of course, the sauna effect can be obtained, but by projecting the head upward from the bath lid, the effect is halved.
"Bath lid that can be put out the head" according to registered utility model No. 3074504 "Home simple sauna bath lid" according to Japanese Patent Publication No. 2009-273441

As described above, the conventional bath lid having the sauna effect has the above-described problems. The problem to be solved by the present invention is this problem, and provides a bath lid that is configured so that the head can be covered with a bath lid, and a sauna effect can be sufficiently obtained in a home bath.

The bath lid of the present invention is configured so as to obtain a sauna effect in a home bath, and unlike the conventional bath lid, covers the head without protruding the head upward from the bath lid. It is configured to be able to. That is, the bath lid is swollen upward so that the head does not hit the bath lid when bathing. However, this bulge has a bellows type structure that can be extended as necessary, and for this purpose, it has a flat shape like a general bath lid. Here, the specific structure constituting the bellows mechanism is not limited.

The bath lid of the present invention is usually flat, but can be bulged upward as needed. That is, by bulging upwards with a bellows type mechanism, the head can be covered if this bath lid is used when taking a bath. Therefore, the space created by the bath lid stays in the steam without escaping and a sauna effect is obtained. It is done.

The expansion / contraction operation of the bellows can be performed with one touch using the hand, and the objective can be achieved without using any other tools. And, when you don't take a bath, you can make it flat like a general bath lid so that you can use the energy of boiled hot water efficiently without waste.

Conventional bath lids are often flat or roll-type plates divided into two or three according to the bathtub size, but the bath lid of the present invention is configured with the size of the area covering the head, Combination with these existing bath lids is possible.

Since it has a structure that completely covers the head, there is no discomfort that a part of the device comes into contact with the neck, skin, etc., so it is possible to bathe comfortably.

Sectional drawing of the state which has not inflated the bellows of the bath lid of this invention. Sectional drawing of the state in which the bellows of the bath lid of this invention is inflated and the person is bathing. FIG. 3 is an external perspective view of FIG. 2.

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view when the lid of the present invention is applied to a bathtub, in which (1) represents a bath lid, (2) represents a bathtub, and the bathtub (2) is filled with predetermined hot water (3). Has been. A space (5) is formed between the hot water surface (4) and the bath lid (1). However, when a person takes a bath, it is generally necessary to remove the bath lid (1). . That is, the head cannot fit in the space (5) with the bath lid (1). The bath lid (1) of the present invention is configured so that bathing can be performed with the bath lid (1) in the bathtub (2). The bath lid (1) shown in the figure is divided into two parts, and is composed of a front lid part (6) and a rear lid part (7). The front lid part (6) is located on the leg side when bathing, and the rear lid The part (7) is located on the head side when taking a bath. The front lid portion (6) is in a flat plate state, and the rear lid portion (7) is provided with a bellows portion (8) in a part thereof.

FIG. 2 shows a state where the person (9) is taking a bath. A bath lid (1) is disposed in the bathtub (2), and a bellows portion (8) provided on the rear lid portion (7) is provided so that the bath lid (1) can be taken in with the bath lid (1). It is stretched to form a convex portion. When the bellows part (8) is pulled upward, it becomes a mountain-shaped convex part, a space (10) is formed on the lower side, and the space (5) between the hot water surface (4) and the bath lid (1) and The head (11) comes to fit in the space (10) formed by the bellows (8).
In this way, it is possible to take a bath with the bath lid (1) in place, and the steam emanating from the hot water does not escape to the outside, and a sauna effect can be obtained in a home bath.

FIG. 3 is an external perspective view of FIG. 2, and the bellows portion (8) of the rear lid portion (7) has a mountain-shaped convex shape. Here, the front lid part (6) is a flat plate state, generally constituted by a plastic plate, and the rear lid part (7) is provided with a bellows part (8) in the center of the flat plastic plate.
Here, the structure constituting the bellows portion (8) is not particularly limited. For example, a structure that expands and contracts like a “lantern” can be adopted. The bellows part (8) can be shrunk so as to be flush with the flat part of the rear cover part, and can be extended upward as necessary.
