Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a bath effective to a body which is obtained from an inexpensive material and a simple facility by dipping an edible seaweed in a hot water at a specific temperature, feeding the filtered liquid to a bathtub, and using it for bathing. CONSTITUTION:An edible seaweed 14 in a dried condition at 1kg is put in an edible seaweed housing basket 9, an open/close valve 7 is opened in a condition the edible seaweed is mounted in a reservoir tank 8, and the hot water at approximately 80 deg.C supplied from a hot water generator 1 by a pump 6 is successively supplied to an edible seaweed kettle 5 in the ratio of 70l per min. The inner capacity of the reservoir tank 8 is approximately 1m<3>, the hot water passes the edible seaweed kettle 5 in a average approximately 17min, and it is supplied as a filtered liquid (edible seaweed hot water) 27 into respective bathtubs 18a and 18b. At respective bathtubs, by the open/close operations of hot water cocks 17a and 17b and cooling water cocks 20a and 20b, a hot water quantity and a hot water temperature are adjusted, and when a prescribed filled condition is made, the open/close valve 7 is closed, and the hot water is used as a bathing hot water 28 for bathing. When the temperature of the bathing hot water 28 is lowered, a following burning is executed by a temperature raising device 21.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a bath using arame, a type of seaweed.

[Conventional technology]

BACKGROUND ART Hot springs have long been known to have various benefits for the body due to the natural mineral components they contain, and many tourists and vacationers visit hot spring areas for recreation and relaxation.

However, since hot springs are closely related to the geology of volcanic belts and other areas, they may not exist everywhere in the country, and in recreational areas where hot springs do not gush out, it would be helpful to develop a bath that is effective in place of hot springs. It is favorable both in terms of quality and attracting customers.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Therefore, the inventor focused on seaweed that is easily available in recreational areas that exist in coastal areas, and investigated the usefulness of baths using this seaweed, specifically, the ease of extracting ingredients from various seaweeds.
As a result of various studies on the efficacy of extracted components, the inventors discovered that Arame is useful and completed the present invention.

That is, the present invention aims to provide a bath that is beneficial to the body and can be obtained using inexpensive raw materials and simple equipment.

[Means to solve the problem]

However, the Arame bath of this invention has a Arame of 60 to 10
This is an Arame bath characterized by being immersed in hot water at 0°C and the filtrate being sent to the bathtub for bathing. .

In this invention, Arame, a seaweed belonging to the Laminaceae family, is 60
It is immersed in hot water of ~100°C, but temperatures below 60°C are undesirable because it takes time to extract the components. Note that it is particularly preferable to set the temperature of the hot water to 70 to 90° C., since this allows efficient extraction.

[Effect]

In this invention, mineral components such as chlorine, potassium, and sodium are mainly extracted from the arame by immersion in hot water at a temperature of 60° C. or higher, and the hot water turns light brown and exhibits weak acidity with a pH of less than 7.

If you send the filtrate from this water, excluding the main body of Arame, to the bathtub and use it for bathing, your body will be well warmed and won't get too hot, and your metabolism will be accelerated, resulting in rheumatism, neuralgia, skin diseases, and trauma. etc. is effective.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a heat generating device consisting of a boiler equipped with a heavy oil burner 2, which is connected to a cold water pipe 3 such as a water supply. The hot water pipe 4 connected to the hot water outlet of the hot water generator 1 is connected as a hot water main pipe 4a to a user side such as in-house heating equipment, and the branch pipe 4b is also connected to the boiler 5. 6 is a pump for hot water supply, and 7 is an on-off valve. The corn boiler 5 is comprised of a corn storage basket 9 which is removably placed in a cylindrical storage tank 8 made of stainless steel plate. The Arame storage basket 9 has a stainless steel wire mesh (coarseness: 2Jll) bent into a rectangular tube shape with a bottom on the bottom surface of the upper plate 10 made of stainless steel plate.
A basket 11 made of II) is fixed to form side walls and a bottom through which hot water can pass, and an opening 10a in the center of the top plate 10 can be opened and closed by attaching and detaching a screw-type lid plate 12. It is now possible to do so. 13 is a handle, and 14 is a storm. Reference numeral 15 denotes an airtight lid that opens and closes an opening 8a at the top of the storage tank 8, and the opening 8a has a size that allows the storage basket 9 to be put in and taken out. 16 Haru liquid supply pipe,
Hot water taps 17a and 17b provided at their tips open into a bathtub 18a in the men's bath and a bathtub 18b in the women's bath. Reference numeral 19 denotes a cold water supply pipe branched from the cold water pipe 3, and 20a and 20b are cold water taps provided at the tips thereof, which open into the respective bathtubs 18a and 18b. On the other hand, 21 is a heating device for reheating, which is connected to the bathtubs 18a and 18b and equipped with a circulation pump 22 and a filter 23.
The hot water pipe 24 is connected to a small boiler 25, and this boiler 2
A return pipe 26 connected to the hot water outlet No. 5 is connected to each bathtub 18a and 18b, and a temperature sensor (not shown) automatically reheats the hot water in each bathtub 18a and 18b when the temperature falls below a predetermined temperature. This is a known heating device that performs this.

In the bath device having the above configuration, 1 kg of dried arame 14 is placed in the arame storage basket 9, placed in the storage tank 8, and the on-off valve 7 is opened. Hot water of approximately 80°C was continuously supplied to the Arame pot 5 at a rate of 70j/min. The internal volume of the storage tank 8 is about 1 foot, and the hot water passes through the arame kettle 5 in about 17 minutes on average, and is supplied as a filtrate (arame) 27 into each bathtub 18a, 18b. In each bathtub, the water volume and water temperature are adjusted by opening and closing the hot water faucets 17a, 17b and the cold water faucets 20a, 20b, and when a predetermined filling state is reached, the on-off valve 7 is closed and the bathtub 28 is used for bathing.

When the temperature of the bath 1128 decreases, reheating is performed using the temperature raising device 21. Also, use it for a bath! When the amount of filtrate 27 decreases, either replenish it by supplying cold water and reheating, or pour the filtrate 27 from the Arame pot 5 to each bath in the same way as above.
When the bath water 28 becomes thinner or more contaminated, it is replaced. According to the inventor's experiments, the total capacity of both towers N18a and 18b is 10,000 Td.
In case (7), the bath 'a28, which has been newly filled and adjusted once into both columns and tanks using the pre-coated tank 5 having the above-mentioned capacity, can be used for 3 to 4 days without being replaced.

In order to find out the components of the above filtrate 27, 100 g of dried aram was immersed in 80°C ill boiling water for 10 minutes, and the filtrate was used as a test water for analysis. As shown in Table 1, the pH of the filtrate
was 6.13, indicating weak acidity.

(See the margins below) Table 1 As is clear from the above analysis results, the filtrate contains a large amount of chlorine, potassium, sodium, etc., and has components similar to those of salt springs, so if it is used as a bath water, It is effective against rheumatism, neuralgia, skin diseases, trauma, etc.

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and for example, a boiler exclusively for a storm bath may be used, or a storm storage basket may be placed or fixed in this boiler.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a bath that is beneficial for the body with a simple structure of equipment using Arame, which is available at low cost, and can be used in areas without natural hot springs. As an alternative to hot springs, they can be used not only at inns and hotels, but also at home.
