BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bathtub device capable of ejecting air bubbles or bath water from left and right armrests formed in a bathtub body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a bathtub device capable of ejecting air bubbles from the bottom of a bathtub body, there is a bathtub device described in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 64-50825.

[0003] In such a bathtub apparatus, a bubble jetting plate is provided at the bottom of the bathtub body, and a fumed pipe is connected to the bubble jetting plate.
A compressor is attached to the fumed pipe, and compressed air is pressure-fed through the fumed pipe by the compressor to generate air bubbles in the bathtub body from the air bubble ejection board.

[0004] A bathtub apparatus capable of jetting bath water from a side wall of a bathtub body is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-90415.

In such a bathtub apparatus, a bathwater circulation channel is provided between the side wall of the bathtub body and the circulation pump, and the bathwater sucked from the bathtub body can be jetted into the bathtub body by the circulation pump. And

[0006]

However, in the former bathtub apparatus, since bubbles are blown out from the bottom of the bathtub body, the bubbles hit the bather's feet vigorously to obtain a massage effect. There is a problem that the energetic air bubbles do not hit the arm of the person and a massage effect with a direct stimulation cannot be obtained on the arm.

[0007] In the latter bath tub device, a bathing bath is vigorously applied to the soles, back and waist of the bather to obtain a massage effect, but the bather's arm is not exposed to a vigorous bath. ,
Also in this case, there is a problem that a massage effect with a direct stimulation cannot be obtained on the arm.

[0008]

Therefore, in the present invention, left and right armrest portions on which both arms of the bather N can be placed are formed on the left and right side walls of the bathtub body, respectively, and one end of the fumarolic pipe is provided at each armrest portion. And a compressor attached to the fumarolic pipe, so that air bubbles can be blown out from the left and right armrests toward the bather's arm placed on each armrest. Things.

Further, left and right armrest portions on which both arms of a bather can be respectively placed are formed on the left and right side walls of the bathtub body, and one end of a water supply pipe is connected to each armrest portion, and the other end of the water supply pipe is connected. A circulating pump is connected to the circulating pump, one end of a water-absorbing pipe is connected to the circulating pump, and the other end of the water-absorbing pipe is connected to a side wall of the bathtub body 1. Another feature is that the bath can be spouted toward the bather's arm.
