Description

The present invention relates to a carbonated bath set that allows you to easily enjoy a carbonated bath in a bathroom at home.

Various devices have been conventionally proposed that allow carbon dioxide bubbles to be generated in a bathtub so that a carbonic acid bath can be performed. For example, in Patent Document 1, hot water is sucked from a bathtub by a pump driven by a motor, and bubbles of carbon dioxide gas taken into the pump from a gas introduction pipe connected to a carbon dioxide gas bomb are refined by the compression action of the pump. , A carbonated spring generator that discharges hot water containing bubbles of this finely divided carbon dioxide gas into a bathtub is described.

However, since such a device requires a pump, a motor, or the like to be installed outside the bathtub, the configuration is complicated and space is required, so that it is difficult to realize it in the bathroom of a general household. .. Further, since the pump is driven by rotating the motor, there is also a problem that power consumption is generated.

On the other hand, Patent Document 2 includes a carbon dioxide gas cylinder that supplies carbon dioxide gas and a bubble generator that dissolves carbon dioxide gas supplied from the carbon dioxide gas cylinder through a conduit into fine bubbles in hot water in a bathtub. The generator is described.

According to the apparatus of Patent Document 2, since a pump and a motor are not used, the configuration is simple and a large space is not required, so that it can be easily realized even in a bathroom of a general household. In addition, since no motor is used, there is an advantage that power consumption is not generated.

I have. In addition, although the float 23 is drawn in a state of being divided into upper and lower parts in FIG. 1, it is actually used in a state where the upper and lower parts are combined as shown in FIG. 5 described later.

As shown in FIG. 1, the bubble generation unit 10 includes a disk-shaped foam plate 12, a bottomed case 13 for accommodating the foam plate 12, and a cover 11 mounted on the case 13 from above. There is. The foam plate 12 is formed of a porous material such as ceramic. The case 13 is composed of a circular tray whose upper side is open, and has a bottom surface 13d facing the lower surface of the foam plate 12 and a side wall 13e facing the side surface of the foam plate 12.

As shown in FIG. 1, the upper surface of the cover 11 is open except for the peripheral edge portion 11a. Therefore, when the foam plate 12 is housed in the case 13 and the cover 11 is attached to the case 13, the upper surface of the foam plate 12 is exposed from the opening of the cover 11 as shown in FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the bottom surface 13d of the case 13 has a groove 13c extending in the radial direction of the foam plate 12 from the center and an annular rib 13b extending in the circumferential direction of the foam plate 12 along the side wall 13e. It is formed. Further, the side wall 13e of the case 13 is provided with a connection portion 13a to which the connection plug 16a provided at one end of the hose 16 is connected. The connection portion 13a has an insertion hole 13f into which the connection plug 16a is inserted (see FIG. 3B).

As shown in FIG. 1, inside the case 13, a straw-shaped thin tube 14 extending from the connecting portion 13a along the groove 13c is provided. The thin tube 14 is positioned on the bottom surface 13d by being fitted into the groove 13c. The length of the thin tube 14 is slightly shorter than the length of the groove 13c. As shown in FIG. 4, both ends of the thin tube 14 are open, one end faces the insertion hole 13f of the connecting portion 13a, and the other end is located near the center of the bottom surface 13d of the case 13. Therefore, when the connection plug 16a (FIG. 1) of the hose 16 is inserted into the insertion hole 13f, the thin tube 14 communicates with the hose 16.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, in a state where the foam plate 12 is placed on the annular rib 13b and stored in the case 13, the spaces S1 and S2 are between the foam plate 12 and the bottom surface 13d of the case 13. Is formed. The space S1 is a space formed inside the annular rib 13b, and the space S2 is a space formed outside the annular rib 13b. When the connection plug 16a of the hose 16 is inserted into the insertion hole 13f, the hose 16 and the inner space S1 communicate with each other via the thin tube 14. Further, the gap between the foam plate 12 and the side wall 13e of the case 13 is filled with the adhesive Z for sealing. The adhesive Z is also filled in the space S2 outside the annular rib 13b.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the carbon dioxide gas supply unit 15 includes a main body 15a and an operation handle 15b provided on the upper portion of the main body 15a. The main body 15a is composed of a cylinder in which carbon dioxide gas is sealed. A hose 16 is connected to the main body 15a. The operation handle 15b is rotatably provided and is operated when the carbon dioxide gas inside the main body 15a is supplied to the bubble generation unit 10 via the hose 16 or the supply is stopped.

Next, a method of using the carbonated bath set 100 having the above configuration will be described. First, the bubble generation unit 10 and the carbon dioxide gas supply unit 15 are connected by a hose 16, and as shown in FIG. 5, the bubble generation unit 10 is placed on the bottom 3a of the bathtub 3 in which the hot water 4 is stored. Although not shown in FIG. 5, the carbon dioxide gas supply unit 15 is placed at an appropriate place around the bathtub 3.

In this state, when the operation handle 15b of the carbon dioxide gas supply unit 15 is turned, the carbon dioxide gas discharged from the main body 15a is introduced into the inside of the bubble generation unit 10 via the hose 16. Specifically, the discharged carbon dioxide gas is introduced from the hose 16 through the connection plug 16a and the thin tube 14 into the space S1 (FIG. 4) inside the case 13. Then, the carbon dioxide gas introduced into the space S1 passes through a large number of pores formed in the porous foam plate 12, becomes bubbles P (FIG. 5) from the upper surface of the foam plate 12, and is discharged into the hot water 4. Will be done.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the user 5 who takes a carbonated bath wants to care for the face, for example, he / she grasps the ventilation pipe 21 of the snorkel 2 by hand, puts the mouthpiece 22 on the mouth, and the face generates air bubbles. Immerse your face in hot water 4 so that it faces the unit 10. At this time, the float 23 floats on the hot water 4 in the bathtub 3 with the opening 21b of the ventilation pipe 21 protruding from the water surface 4a. Therefore, the user 5 can breathe through the openings 21a and 21b (FIG. 1) at both ends of the ventilation pipe 21 with his / her face immersed in the hot water 4.

Then, by exposing the face to the bubbles P of carbon dioxide gas generated from the foam plate 12,
(1) Blood flow is promoted (2) Discharge of waste products is promoted (3) The three major effects of carbonic acid such as softening of the skin and muscles are exhibited. Here, facial care is taken as an example, but when caring for the scalp, the same effect can be obtained in the same manner. Further, the carbonated bath set 100 of the present invention can be used not only for the face and scalp but also for the whole body. For body care in which the face and head are not soaked in hot water 4, it is not necessary to use the snorkel 2.

According to the carbonated bath set 100 of the present invention, not only can the carbonated bath be easily enjoyed in the bathroom at home, but also the face and head are exposed to the hot water in the bathtub when performing the carbonated bath for the face and scalp. You can breathe through the snorkel 2 even if you are soaked. Therefore, even when the carbonic acid bath is performed for a relatively long time, there is no need to raise the face and breathe many times, and the carbon dioxide gas bubbles P are continuously exposed to the carbonic acid bath. The effect can be maximized.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, since the peripheral edge portion of the foam plate 12 is sealed with the adhesive Z, the carbon dioxide gas introduced into the space S1 inside the case 13 foams without leaking from the peripheral edge portion. It is efficiently discharged from the upper surface of the plate 12. This makes it possible to further enhance the effect of the carbonated bath.

The above-mentioned carbonated bath set 100 is an example, and the present invention is not limited to this. For example, carbon dioxide gas may be introduced into the case 13 directly from the hose 16 by omitting the thin tube 14 shown in FIG.

Further, the carbon dioxide gas supply unit 15 may be provided with means for adjusting the pressure of the discharged carbon dioxide gas. FIG. 6 shows an embodiment in this case. The carbon dioxide gas supply unit 15 includes a main body 15a, an operation handle 15b, and a regulator 15c. The regulator 15c is provided with a connection port 15e to which the end of the hose 16 is connected. Further, inside the regulator 15c, an adjustment mechanism (not shown) that operates in conjunction with the operation handle 15b is provided. This adjusting mechanism includes a known mechanism including an on-off valve, an adjusting spring, a diaphragm, and the like, and carbon dioxide gas whose pressure is adjusted according to the opening degree of the on-off valve is discharged from the connection port 15e.

For example, when the operation handle 15b is turned in the α direction, the opening degree of the on-off valve becomes smaller, and low-pressure carbon dioxide gas is discharged from the connection port 15e. Further, when the operation handle 15b is turned in the β direction, the opening degree of the on-off valve becomes large, and high-pressure carbon dioxide gas is discharged from the connection port 15e.

The carbon dioxide gas may be enclosed in a carbon dioxide gas cartridge. FIG. 7 shows an embodiment in this case. In FIG. 7, in the carbon dioxide gas supply unit 15 of FIG. 6, a carbon dioxide gas cartridge 17 composed of a container filled with carbon dioxide gas is housed in the main body 15a so as to be replaceable. The carbon dioxide gas cartridge 17 is detachably attached to the lower part of the regulator 15c. Even if the carbon dioxide gas in the main body 15a is exhausted, the carbon dioxide gas can be easily replenished by replacing the carbon dioxide gas cartridge 17.

Further, the carbon dioxide gas supply unit 15 shown in FIGS. 1 and 6 may be a general-purpose unit capable of supplying carbon dioxide to devices other than the bubble generation unit 10. For example, a carbon dioxide gas supply unit used in combination with an airbrush that mixes carbon dioxide gas and lotion and sprays them from a nozzle may be used as the carbon dioxide gas supply unit 15 of the present invention.
