DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a shower device which can be realized simply and inexpensively and gives a feeling of taking a bath.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Shower bathing has become customary as a simple bathing means due to its features such as easy preparation for bathing, water saving effect, energy saving and space saving.

On the other hand, a method of realizing bathing in a steam sauna by filling a bathroom with steam generated by using a gas instantaneous water heater or an ultrasonic vibrator has recently been established.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional shower bath, there are problems rooted in the traditional bath culture in Japan, such as being difficult to warm and not feeling relaxed.

[0005] On the other hand, in the steam sauna bath, there is a problem that it is necessary to separately install a steam generator which is expensive and requires scale measures.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problem by ejecting a hot mist mist shower from a plurality of ejection nozzles to a human body, thereby obtaining a steam sauna-like bathing feeling in a space-saving space simply and inexpensively. I do.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises a water heater and a plurality of jet nozzles for jetting hot water supplied from the water heater into a high temperature mist.
The plurality of ejection nozzles are located in an open space near a wall.
At least on both sides of the upper body.
And facing the body surface of the human body located in the open space.
At the same time, the high-temperature mist is blown out.
A thermal environment only in the limited space surrounding the human body
In addition, the direction in which the high-temperature mist ejected from the ejection nozzle is ejected is made variable.

[0008]

According to the present invention, the above-mentioned structure makes it possible to use a bathtub without using a special steam generator.
It creates an environment for bathing in a steam sauna in a limited space that is not limited to the human body surface .

[0009]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a shower device that ejects high-temperature mist from a plurality of ejection nozzles and wraps a body surface of a sitting human body except for the face with the high-temperature mist. FIG. 2 shows the particle size of 200-600 microns (water pressure 1.0 kg / cm) used in the present invention.
It is a principal sectional view of the ejection nozzle which obtains the mist of ² o'clock).

In the figure, the hot water from the hot-water supply device 1 and the water from the water supply pipe 2 are adjusted to a hot water temperature of 40 to 50 ° C. by a hot-water mixer tap 3 and are ejected through the hot-water supply pipe 8 as a particle diameter of 200 to 600 μm. A plurality of ejection nozzles 4A, 4B and 4C are provided at least on both sides of the upper body of the human body as shown in FIG.
It is provided to be located on the side .

The hot mist 5 ejected from these ejection nozzles 4A, 4B, 4C, etc., is ejected to the body surface except the face of the human body 7 sitting on the chair 6 and wraps around the body surface.

A rotating part 4Q formed in a spherical shape is provided upstream of the tip part 4P of the ejection nozzle 4A and the like, and the holder 4R holds the rotating part 4Q so as to be freely rotatable. The jet direction of the hot mist jetted from the jet nozzle can be freely changed.

By the way, in a general steam sauna, 70
Tightening steam at １００100 ° C. is squirting into the bathroom. When the squeezed steam is jetted out, it is cooled by the room temperature atmosphere in the bathroom and the temperature of the saturated steam is 50 to 70 ° C. and the particle size is
It becomes a mist of ~ 100 microns and floats in the bathroom, wrapping the body of the bather and warming it.

In a normal shower, the temperature is 30 to 4
At 5 ° C., water droplets having a particle size of 0.3 to 2 millimeters are sprayed directly on the bather's body, and sweat off.

In the embodiment of the present invention, a warm environment is formed in which the bather's body is wrapped in a high-temperature mist atmosphere corresponding to an intermediate state between the steam sauna and the shower.

[0016] Therefore, since a high-temperature mist bath can be performed while sitting on a chair, a relaxed bathing feeling can be obtained. Also,
Since the atmosphere of high temperature mist is not created near the face, breathlessness as felt in a steam sauna is reduced.

[0017]

As is clear from the above description, the high-temperature mist shower device of the present invention has the following effects.

That is, according to the present invention, hot water supplied from a water heater is turned into a high-temperature mist by a jet nozzle and the surface of a human body is
Open space from multiple jet nozzles positioned to sandwich
Simultaneously squirt toward the body surface of the human body located at
Thermal environment only in the limited space surrounding the human body surface in the discharge space
By filling the bathroom with steam
A feeling of bathing similar to the steam sauna that has been realized so far
Is called the body surface without filling the entire bathroom with steam.
A jet nozzle that can be obtained only in a space-saving space
At least on both sides of the upper body of the human body
High-temperature mist is simultaneously ejected toward the body surface.
And easily obtain a thermal environment without the need for a bathtub, etc.
High temperature mist volume as a result
Moreover, it can be provided at a low cost. And the jet nozzle
The hot mist from the body directly hits the user's body,
It can give a pleasant stimulus that has a massage effect on the body
it can. Further, it is possible to change the ejection direction of the hot mist ejected from the nozzle, a body shape of the user
Can create a thermal environment with a high-temperature mist
The bathing feeling can be obtained comfortably from children to adults,
The waste of the high-temperature mist can be reduced. Furthermore, people
Heat due to high temperature mist atmosphere on body surface except body face
With a configuration that creates an environment, high-temperature mist
As it does not create an atmosphere, the entire bathroom is filled with steam.
It can also reduce breathlessness like a team sauna
You. In addition, mix the hot water from the water heater and the water from the water pipe
Equipped with a hot and cold water mixing tap, and gushing hot water from this hot and cold water mixing tap
If you use a configuration that blows out from the nozzle, you can adjust to the desired hot water temperature.
A comfortable bathing feeling can be obtained.
