Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a half-body bathing lid with a pillow for use in so-called half-body bathing, in which only the lower body is immersed in warm water.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Normal bathing soaked in hot water is said to put pressure on the lungs and heart as it receives water pressure with temperature, and even healthy people feel fatigue in about 10 to 15 minutes. If you are sick or sick, the burden is even greater.
Recently, the so-called “half-body bathing”, in which the lower body is immersed in hot water at a slightly lower temperature for about 30 minutes, has attracted attention as a bathing method that does not place a heavy burden on the body. In addition to maintaining the health of the elderly and the sick, It is used for the purpose of obtaining a slimming effect.
[0003]
However, half-body bathing is exposed not to enter the hot water, so the bathroom is cold, especially in winter, the body is too cold to achieve the initial purpose, but also the result of losing health It can happen.
For this reason, when the upper body feels cold, it is only necessary to intermittently “pour hot water”, but it is a complicated operation to draw up hot water in the bathtub and apply it to the left and right shoulders.
In order to eliminate such complications, an arch shape with a heat insulation sheet fixed on the back of the uneven bath lid and facing each other with the jaws in place so that the steam in the bathtub can be used without missing It is known to have a neck insertion opening so that two people can take a half-body bath. (For example, see Patent Document 1)
Moreover, the structure of the bath lid which provided the opening part so that only a face and a hand can be put out is also known (for example, refer patent documents 2 and 3).
