[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a shower apparatus for a bathtub, which is used to massage a shoulder by giving a strong jet of shower water to the shoulder while taking a bath.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional shower apparatus for a bathtub of this type is disclosed, for example, in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 2-141282. The purpose of this is to attach a shower fixture for shoulder rest on a flange of a bathtub, and apply a shower to a shoulder from a nozzle for shoulder rest of the shower fixture for shoulder rest in a bathing posture.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional example, the shower fixture for shoulder rest is fixed to the flange, and only the nozzle for shoulder rest is rotated up and down. The position where the jet of hot water hits is determined by the angle of the shoulder contact nozzle, and when the shoulder contact nozzle is positioned, the angle of contact with the shoulder is also determined, and both the position of contact with the shoulder and the angle of contact with the shoulder cannot be adjusted independently.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a bath water at an arbitrary position on a shoulder at an arbitrary angle without changing the position of a bather's body. It is an object of the present invention to provide a shower device for shoulder bath to which a jet can be applied.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a shower device for a shoulder tub of a bath tub, in which a flange 2 of a bath tub 1 is provided with a vertically movable support member 30 comprising a telescopic rod 30a. Flexible fitting hose for mounting the shower equipment 17 on the upper end of the support member 30 and rotatably mounting the shoulder-applying nozzle 3 for spraying shower water on the shoulder to the shower equipment 17 for the shoulder-applied water.
18a is inserted into the support member 30 composed of the telescopic rod 30a.
Through the end of the connection hose 18a.
-It is characterized by being connected to the appliance 17 .

[0006]

According to the above construction, by moving the support member 30 up and down, the vertical position of the shower device 17 for shoulder rest can be changed to an arbitrary position, and the nozzle 3 for shoulder rest is rotated. This makes it possible to freely change the angle of the shoulder-applying nozzle 3, and apply the jet of bath water to the shoulder at an arbitrary angle at an arbitrary position on the shoulder without changing the position of the bather's body.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the entire bathtub 1, and FIG. 3 is a pipe diagram showing the entire system. A circulation pump 8 is arranged on the side of the bathtub 1, and a suction port 9 in the bathtub 1 and the circulation pump 8 are connected by a suction pipe 10. It can be inhaled.
A plurality of back side injection nozzles 11 and a plurality of foot injection nozzles 12 are provided on the inner wall surface of the bathtub 1 for injecting hot water mixed with air bubbles into the bathtub 1. Are connected by nozzle water supply pipes 13 and 14,
Bath water can be supplied to the injection nozzles 11 and 12. An air suction port 15 is provided in the flange 2 of the bathtub 1, and the air suction port 15 and the injection nozzles 11 and 12 are connected by an air pipe 16.
Air can be supplied to 1,12. Bathtub 1
A pair of shower equipment 17 for shoulder rest is arranged on the flange 2 at a position corresponding to the shoulder of the bather, and the shower equipment 17 for shoulder rest and the circulation pump 8 are connected by a shower water supply pipe 18 for shoulder rest. It is connected so that hot water is supplied to the shower fixture 17 for shoulder rest. The shower device 17 for a shoulder rest is supported by a support member 30 and can move up and down as described later. Remote control 2 for operation of bathtub 1
At 0, it is possible to select each operation pattern, adjust the flow rate, adjust the frequency of the jet change, and the like. A signal from the remote control 20 is sent to a remote control light receiving unit 21 and transmitted to a control unit 22 housed in the circulation pump 8. 27 is an on / off switch attached to the flange 2 of the bathtub 1;
On / off of the injection nozzles 11 and 12 is operated. Reference numeral 28 denotes a drain switch which opens and closes a drain plug at the bottom of the bathtub 1.

The bath water sucked in from the suction port 9 is supplied from the circulation pump 8 to the nozzle water supply pipes 13 and 14 via a flow control valve 23 for controlling the circulation flow inside the pump unit.
The water is supplied to the shower water supply pipe 18 for the shoulder rest. The nozzle water supply pipes 13 and 14 and the shower water supply pipe 18 for shoulder contact are provided with a back flow path switching valve 24 such as a motor valve, a foot flow path switching valve 25, and a shoulder flow path switching valve 26, respectively. The supply of bath water can be switched. Bath water circulated through the nozzle water supply pipes 13 and 14 through the back flow path switching valve 24 and the foot flow path switching valve 25 is mixed with the air from the air pipe 16 at the injection nozzles 11 and 12, A jet mixed with air bubbles is injected into the bathtub 1.
Shower water supply pipe 1 for shoulder pad through shoulder flow path switching valve 26
The bath water circulated through 8 is supplied to the shower fixture 17 for shoulder pad, and is sprayed from the nozzle 3 for shoulder pad of the shower fixture 17 for shoulder pad. The flow rate of the bath water circulated to the injection nozzles 11 and 12 and the shower fixture 17 for shoulder contact is circulated by the control unit 22 by controlling the flow control valve 23 which can control the flow rate by the valve opening degree using a stepping motor. The flow rate can be adjusted, and the strength of the jets jetted from the jet nozzles 11 and 12 and the shoulder nozzle 3 of the shoulder pad shower device 17 can be adjusted, and various variations of jets can be obtained.

A pair of shoulder shower equipment 17 is mounted as shown in FIG. A pedestal 32 is provided in a mounting hole 31 provided in the flange 2 of the bathtub 1, and a support member 30 is mounted on the pedestal 32 so as to be vertically movable. The support member 30 is formed of a telescopic rod 30a in this embodiment. The telescopic rod 30a has a plurality of cylindrical rods 33 inserted and connected to each other, and a spacer 34 also serving as a sealing material is interposed therebetween. This spacer 3
When the telescopic rod 30a is expanded and contracted at 4, the rod 33 can be stopped at an arbitrary position. The shower fixture 17 for shoulder rest is attached to the upper end of the telescopic rod 30a, and the nozzle 3 for shoulder rest is mounted on the shower fixture 17 for shoulder rotation so as to be freely rotatable up and down. The portion of the shower water supply pipe 18 for connecting the shoulder and the shower fitting 17 for the shoulder rest is a flexible connecting hose 18a. The connecting hose 18a is inserted into the telescopic rod 30a to connect the connecting hose 18a to the shower fitting for the shoulder rest. The hot water is connected to the shower fixture 17 so that hot water can be supplied to the shower fixture 17 for a shoulder rest. Thus, by vertically extending and retracting the telescopic rod 30a, it is possible to freely adjust the vertical position of the shower fixture 17 for shoulder pad, and to rotate the nozzle 3 for shoulder pad vertically by rotating the nozzle 3 for shoulder pad. The angle in the up-down direction can be freely adjusted, and furthermore, the shoulder fitting shower fixture 17 is rotated in the circumferential direction at the portion of the telescopic rod 30a to freely adjust the direction of the shoulder fitting nozzle 3 in the left-right direction. Thereby, the jet of the bath water can be applied from the shoulder-applying nozzle 3 to an arbitrary position on the shoulder at an arbitrary angle without changing the position of the bather. Further, in the case of the present embodiment, the shower fixture 17 for shoulder rest can be moved up and down by the telescopic rod 30a.
Oa can be extended to near the ceiling of the bathroom and used like tapping water.
