Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a bathtub apparatus, and more particularly to a bathtub apparatus optimal for obtaining a relaxing bathing feeling.

[Prior Art] As a conventional bathtub device, the technology disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. Sho 62-182690 is known.

In the above-mentioned prior art, a supporting communication pipe vertically extending from an inner hollow headrest portion having water ejection holes on both sides of a front surface supporting a head of a bather is connected to a water supply source, and a middle portion of the supporting communication pipe is provided. A collar for seating is provided around the rim, and the lower end of the supporting communication pipe is inserted into a fitting hole formed in the rim of the bathtub until the collar for seating comes into contact with the upper surface of the rim. It is positioned so that it can be removed if necessary.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, in the prior art, the spouted hot water bounces from the floating space between the headrest part and the rim part of the bathtub and scatters to the outside. Is less, and temperature unevenness occurs between the head and neck and other parts, and a sufficiently relaxed bathing feeling cannot be obtained.

Moreover, the hot and cold water spouting from the water spouting holes flows into the bathtub and raises the water storage area, which not only makes it impossible to enjoy a leisurely bath in the desired water storage area, but also overflows and wastes water in the bathtub. It causes the above problem.

The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and its purpose is to massage the neck area with a natural bathing posture in which the head leans against the back surface and hangs the head. An object of the present invention is to provide a convenient bathtub device that can warm the entire body including the body evenly and provide a sufficiently relaxing bathing feeling, and can also conserve water while having a shower facility.

[Means for Solving the Problem] The technical means taken to achieve the above-mentioned object is to extend a headrest portion, which is the same body as the backrest surface, at the upper end of the backrest portion of the bathtub, and discharge the headrest portion. The gist is that a spout is provided, the spout is connected to a suction port provided in the bathtub by a circulation path having a hot water supply pump, and the circulation path and a spout member forming the spout are connected under the headrest portion.

[Operation] According to the above technical means, the bather enters the bathtub, leans against the back surface, and massages the bather's neck area in a relaxed position with the back of the head resting on the headrest portion. Moreover, the splashed water is received by a continuous back surface, and the entire body part exposed from the water surface of the bathtub up to the neck and shoulders is warmed by the water flowing down along the back surface.

Therefore, it is possible to massage the area around the neck and fully warm the whole body to enjoy a relaxing bathing feeling.

In addition, the massage flow is used by pumping up the bath water, and constitutes a circulation path that massages the vicinity of the neck and returns to the bath, so that the storage area of the bath water is neither increased nor decreased nor overflowed.

Moreover, the back space of the headrest portion expands the space behind the bathtub, and the space is used to connect the circulation path and the hot water discharge member.

Embodiment An embodiment of the bathtub device according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In this embodiment, an inclined backrest 3 is provided inside the rim portion 2 on the short side of the bathtub 1 having a substantially rectangular planar shape so that the bather M can take a bath in a tilted posture. A headrest portion 4 having a headrest surface 14 on which the back of the bather M can be hung is formed integrally with the backrest surface 13 at the upper part of the backrest portion 3.

The headrest portion 4 is formed in a curved pillow shape in which the upper portion of the backrest portion 3 is swollen, and several small spouts 5 are provided in the portion where the back head of the bather M contacts.

A hot water supply pipe 6 is connected to the hot water outlet 5, and the hot water supply pipe 6 is connected to a suction pipe 8 via a hot water supply pump 7.

Further, the suction pipe 8 is connected to a suction port 9 provided in the lower portion of the backrest portion 3 and communicates with the inside of the bathtub 1 through the suction port 9. That is, the hot water outlet 5 and the suction port 9 are the hot water supply pump 7
The circuit is connected by the circulation path 100 having

The hot water supply pump 7 is arranged by utilizing the expanded lower space of the headrest portion 4.

Therefore, by driving the hot water supply pump 7, the hot water contained in the bathtub 1 is sucked in from the suction port 9 and discharged from the hot water discharge port 5, and after the hot water discharged from the hot water discharge port 5 hits the head and shoulders. The hot water stored in the bathtub 1 can be circulated by flowing through the headrest surface 14 and the backrest surface 13 to the bathtub 1.

Further, in this embodiment, a control switch 10 is installed on the wall surface or the like near the bathtub 1, and the control switch 10 and the hot water supply pump 7 are linked by a controller 11.

Therefore, by operating the control switch 10, the discharge of the hot water discharged from the hot water outlet 4 can be stopped and the amount of hot water can be adjusted.

According to such an embodiment, the bather M takes a bath in the bathtub 1 in a natural bathing posture in which the back portion leans against the backrest surface 13 of the backrest portion 3, and the back of the head is spit on the headrest surface 14. By touching the sprue 5, by operating the control switch 10, the hot water contained in the bathtub 1 can be poured to warm the head, neck and shoulders, and the occipital region can be massaged effectively. You can The part of the body of the bather M from the neck down is warmed by being immersed in the hot water contained in the bathtub 1.

As a result, the entire body of the bather M including the head, neck, back, and shoulders can be uniformly warmed, and a sufficiently relaxing bathing feeling can be obtained. In addition, the collision force of the hot water discharged from the spout can directly stimulate not only the back of the head but also the neck and shoulders.

[Advantages of the Invention] Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following advantages.

A headrest portion that is the same as the backrest surface is provided at the upper end of the backrest portion of the bathtub, and a spout is provided in the headrest portion, so that the splashed hot water is received by the continuous backrest surface, the neck, the back,
Can warm the shoulders.

Therefore, while leaning on the backside and massaging the vicinity of the neck while maintaining a natural bathing posture with the head resting on the headrest,
You can fully warm the body exposed from the water surface and enjoy a relaxing bathing sensation.

In addition, since the structure is such that the circulating flow of the bath water generates a massage flow, the inflow of the massage flow raises the bath water storage area, causing an uncomfortable area (the water that may enter the mouth or ears. There is no need to take a bath in the area) or overflow, and not only can you enjoy a massage bath in a constant water storage area, but it is not uneconomical because the bath water is discharged unnecessarily.

Moreover, since the circulation path and the hot water discharge member are connected by utilizing the space below the extended headrest portion, the connection is facilitated and the space can be effectively used.
