DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIGS. 1 to 3 show an embodiment of a bathtub massage apparatus 10 according to the present invention.

The massage device main body 9 is used by being attached to a wall surface of a bathroom, a flange of the bathtub 8 or the like by a screw or the like.

A water supply pipe 11 is detachably connected to the massage device main body 9, and the water sent from the water supply pipe 11 is jetted by using the water flow.

As shown in FIG. 5, the water supply pipe 11 is attached to an inflow port 14 arranged on the back surface of the massage apparatus main body 9 by using a cap nut 15 and is detachably attached to the honey.

The massage device main body 9 is attached like a pillow above the backrest 7 of the bathtub 8.

The water supply pipe 11 is flexible and is detachably connected to the water supply port of the hot and cold water mixing tap 12.

As shown in FIG. 4, the massage device body 9
Is provided with a channel 13 for injecting water flowing from the nozzle 6 and the water supply pipe 11 from the nozzle 6. The flow path 13 is formed of a fluid system or the like for improving the efficiency of the water flow, if necessary, in addition to a simple piping system that simply sends the water flow to the nozzle 6.

The nozzles 6 are provided on both sides of the massage device main body 9. Accordingly, when the bather leans his head against the massage device main body 9, the nozzle 6 is directed toward the shoulder.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, an oscillating fluid oscillating element is used for the nozzle 6, and the nozzle 6 jets the water efficiently and intermittently so as to swing. The configuration is taken. With this configuration, the massage effect is increased as compared with a simple jet of water.

The nozzle 6 is of a downward swing type, and its angle can be changed in the right and left directions so as to be sprayed on the bather's shoulder leaning on the backrest 7.

In this way, the water flow sent from the hot-water mixing tap 11 is converted into an intermittent eccentric jet discharged from the nozzle 6 inside the bathtub massage device 10 and the person who is taking a bath Collide with the shoulders and massage.

The water supply pipe 11 is provided with a bathtub massage device 10.
In addition, since it can be freely attached to and detached from the water supply port of the hot and cold water mixing tap 11, it can be easily removed from any side when not in use and does not hinder bathing, and does not hinder water supply in the bathroom.

The bathtub massage device 10 is
Since it can be used simply by attaching it to a bathroom or a bathtub and connecting the water supply pipe 11 to a faucet, installation and use are easy.

[0036]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the water flowing from the water supply pipe 11 connected to a faucet such as a hot and cold water mixing faucet is jetted from the nozzle 6 by the energy of the water flow. No driving device such as a pump is required, the device is simple, and no electrical work is required for installation. And you do not have to hear any unpleasant pump sounds.

Further, since the water supply pipe 11 is detachable, it can be detached from the massage device body 9 at the time of installation work or when not in use, which is convenient for the work at the time of installation work or at the time of non-use. .

According to the invention of claim 2, according to claim 1,
In addition to the effects of the invention described in (1), since the water supply pipe 11 is detachable from the faucet, this aspect is also convenient for the work at the time of installation work or when not in use.

According to the invention of claim 3, according to claim 1,
In addition to the operation of the device described in the above, the water flowing from the water supply pipe 11 oscillates by the energy of the water flow without using a special driving device, and intermittently, in a motion state such as oscillation,
Injected from the nozzle 6.

According to the invention of claim 4, according to claim 1,
In addition to the operation of the invention described in the above, a shower nozzle can be connected to the water supply pipe 11 for use. So simply,
