Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a wet simple sauna, and more particularly to a device installed in a bathtub at home to obtain a sauna effect.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Hot baths such as sauna baths promote peripheral blood circulation and metabolism, and are effective in relieving fatigue.Therefore, hot bath facilities mainly for saunas and other facilities such as hotels, athletic clubs, and public baths have recently been added. As a result, a sauna is often provided. In such a sauna facility, a so-called wet sauna saturated with steam may be provided in addition to a normal dry sauna. Wet saunas can promote sweating at a lower temperature than dry saunas, lighten the burden on the heart, and wrap the skin with steam, which is said to have a high beauty effect.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 By the way, the conventional sauna certainly relieves the feeling of tiredness and sweat, and refreshes your mood, but it also has the following problems.

First, it is less convenient than a home bath. It may be necessary to use the sauna not only once but repeatedly to obtain the appropriate dieting and beauty effects in the sauna, but it is bothersome to go out and bath charges are high, and so on. It can be difficult to use frequently.

Secondly, the conventional sauna has the disadvantage that it cannot be adjusted to the temperature preferred by each user. Sauna rooms are usually temperature-controlled uniformly, and as a result, some people may feel uncomfortable or feel uncomfortable and may not be able to use it. In addition, for people with weak skin, the skin may be burned, which may result in damage to the skin rather than expecting a beautiful skin effect.

On the other hand, small-sized saunas for home use have recently been provided. According to this type of sauna, it can be used as easily as an indoor bath, and the temperature can be freely set. However, even though it is small, it has a capacity to accommodate one or two people inside, so a certain amount of installation space is required for the bathroom, and it may not be possible to use it in apartment houses or condominiums. There is also the problem that installation costs and running costs (gas costs, etc.) increase.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to make it easier to obtain a sauna effect in a bathroom at home.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object and solve the problems, the wet simple sauna according to the present invention is a shade that can enclose the upper part of the body of a bather immersed in a bathtub and store water vapor rising from the bathtub inside. A body and a suspending means capable of suspending the shade at an appropriate position in the bathroom.

[0009]

[Action]

 The wet simple sauna of the present invention includes a cap body that can be covered around the upper part of the body of a bather, particularly the head (face) and neck that comes out of the bath when immersed in a bathtub, and the cap body. And a suspension means for suspending the suspension.

The cap body is formed of a sheet material (for example, a resin sheet having a waterproof property) so as to have, for example, a bell shape or a dome shape, and the lower surface is opened so that water vapor rising from the bathtub can be stored inside. Keep it. Then, the cap is hung by the suspending means at an appropriate position in the bathroom (a position where a bather immersed in a bathtub can cover his / her head).

A bather enters the bathtub and covers the shade body from the head. The inside of the shade is filled with water vapor (steam) from the hot water that fills the bathtub, and the hot air accumulates and is heated to a temperature close to that in the bathtub (for example, around 40 ° C), depending on the hot water temperature. Therefore, the sweating action of the face, chin, and neck muscles is promoted, the metabolism is activated, and the same effects as the sauna, such as the skin-beautifying effect and the diet effect, can be obtained for the relevant part.

The shape of the cap body is not necessarily limited to the bell shape or the dome shape. This is because various shapes, such as a cylindrical shape and a prismatic shape, can be used as long as they can cover the upper part of the body of the bather who comes out of the bath surface and can collect water vapor from the bathtub.

The suspension means may have any structure as long as it can suspend the shade in the bathroom. For example, a rope can be hung on a pipe member (a so-called bracing rod) that can be bridged between opposing bathroom wall surfaces by a spring biasing force in the longitudinal direction, and the cap body can be hung. It is also possible to hang a rope by stretching a rope between the walls of the bathroom. The rope can be fixed to the wall by using a suction cup, adhesive tape, metal fittings (screw hooks), or the like. In addition, various hanging structures can be adopted, such as simply hanging the rope from the ceiling and hanging the cap body.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 and 2 are a perspective view and a sectional view showing an example of a simple sauna according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, this simple sauna 11 encloses the upper part of the body of a bather 21 who is immersed in the bathtub 20 and can store water vapor rising from the bathtub inside, and the cap body 12 in the bathroom. It is provided with a suspension rod 15 for suspending at an appropriate position.

The cap body 12 is formed by stretching a thin resin sheet 14 on a frame 13 so as to have a dome shape. For the resin sheet 14, a waterproof and translucent sheet material such as vinyl chloride or polyethylene is used. This is because light is taken into the shade 12 and the view of the bather is not blocked. The frame 13 is preferably formed of a resin pipe. It is possible to use metal pipes (such as aluminum pipes), but this is because they do not rust when used in the bathroom and the cost is low.

On the other hand, the suspension rod 15 has a longitudinal biasing force, for example, by a spring arranged in the rod, and is a pipe member (that is, a so-called bracing rod) that can be bridged between the opposing bathroom wall surfaces 22. ) Can be used for configuration. A ring 16 is provided on the rod 15, and the cap body 12 is suspended by a rope 17. Therefore, the position of the shade 12 can be adjusted by appropriately shifting the ring 16 in the longitudinal direction of the bath (rod). Further, the shade 12 can be placed near the wall 22 so as not to disturb the bath when not in use.

The inside of the cap body 12 is warmed by the hot air of the hot water in the bathtub, becomes a high temperature close to the hot water in the bathtub, and is filled with steam (steam). Therefore, the bather can obtain the same effect as the following wet sauna, for example.

By accelerating the sweating action, it is possible to remove the zein meat on the face, the neck muscles and the like. Tighten the chin and eliminate the double chin. Replenishes water from the surface of the skin to create fresh skin. Since metabolism is activated, waste products and makeup residue in the skin are discharged together with sweat to prevent stains and freckles. Improves scalp metabolism and makes hair easier to grow. It improves blood circulation in the neck and shoulders and eliminates shoulder stiffness. Furthermore, since warm water vapor is inhaled with breathing, it is possible to treat diseases and maintain health of respiratory system such as throat, trachea, and lungs.

Although the temperature of this sauna is generally lower than that of a conventional sauna, it can be easily used while immersed in a bathtub and can be used every day after taking a bath. However, there is an advantage that it is difficult to become a so-called "Mikadobozu" and it is easy to obtain the desired effect by continuous use.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. In particular, the shape of the cap body (12), the material, the presence or absence of a frame, the suspension structure (suspension means) in the bathroom, and the like can be variously changed. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the shape of the shade may be a prismatic shape (a in the figure) or a cylindrical shape (b) in the case of a structure having an opening 30 on the lower surface side and a closed upper surface side. It may have various shapes. This is because the object of the present invention can be achieved if it is possible to cover the upper part of the body of a bather and collect water vapor from the bathtub. However, in order to prevent water droplets from falling on the head during use of the sauna, the dome shape as in the embodiment is preferable. With such a shape, water drops can be made to flow around the bather along the inner surface of the shade.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, for example, if ring-shaped frames 35 are vertically arranged in multiple stages and a resin sheet 36 is stretched over the frames, the cap body is contracted (foldable) like a lantern. ) Is possible. According to this structure, when not in use, it can be retracted and hung on the rod (16) or the hook fittings on the wall surface, so that it can be installed in the bathroom at all times and will not be an obstacle. In the present invention, it is not always necessary to provide a frame. For example, it is possible to have a structure without a frame, such as forming a cap body from a plate-shaped member (resin plate or the like) or hanging a bag-shaped resin sheet and simply covering it.

Further, the material of the cap body (sheet material) is not limited to the resin material, and various materials such as waterproof paper and a film material with vapor-deposited aluminum can be used. When the shade body is made of a material that does not have (or has a low light-transmitting property) a window 40 made of, for example, a transparent resin sheet at an appropriate position of the shade body (for example, the bather's face position) as shown in FIG. Should be provided. Further, the shade body can be subjected to antifungal treatment and antibacterial treatment. Further, in order to enhance the stability of the cap body, it is possible to provide a float (for example, a buoyant body having air inside or a foamed resin having a specific gravity smaller than that of water) at an appropriate position around the lower edge of the cap body. is there. In addition, the suspension method (suspension means) for the cap body is such that a rope is stretched between bathroom wall surfaces with a suction cup, metal fittings, adhesive tape, or the like to suspend the rope, or the rope is suspended from the ceiling to suspend the cap body. It is possible to adopt various suspension methods such as.
