Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a steam bath that is used by being integrally attached to a domestic bath, and utilizes steam from the bath.

[Conventional technology]

In a home bath, the body is immersed in the water, but the sweating effect is concentrated on exposed areas such as the face, which can turn red due to the salt in the sweat. Therefore, for people with relatively sensitive skin, it is recommended to bathe repeatedly for short periods of time to disperse the sweating effect throughout the body.

It is also said that people who take a bath for the purpose of slimming should repeatedly repeat the process of coming out of the bath, as there is little sweating from the immersed area.

Therefore, sauna baths have been developed to help sweat the whole body and slim down, but they are expensive and have a separate structure from home baths, so they require a place to install, making them difficult to popularize. It was hot.

[Problem to be solved]

Conventional sauna baths, steam baths, etc. have independent heating devices and are expensive.
Another problem was that it required a large installation space.

The present invention provides a steam bath that uses the water temperature of a bath commonly installed at home as a heat source.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention provides a support stand having a steam vent at the opening of a domestic bath, and the support stand is provided with a foldable backrest and a seat portion whose center is recessed into the bathtub. This steam bath is characterized by being equipped with a foldable cover that is provided with an exit hole and forms a predetermined space.

In addition, the backrest and cover of the support stand are supported so that they can be rotated and stored in a base frame provided on one side of the support stand so that they can be opened and closed, and the base frame is tilted toward the bath side. It is configured to serve as a bath lid.

The steam bath according to the present invention can easily be used as a steam bath by trapping the steam from a domestic bath directly in the covering cover and humidifying the entire body inside the covering cover.

[Example] Here, an example of the steam bath according to the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the device installed in a domestic bath, in which a support 4 of substantially the same shape and having a steam hole 3 is placed on the opening 2 of the bath 1.

Approximately in the center of the support base 4 is provided a seat portion 5 that is easy to sit on and has a slightly concave shape in the center.

The seat portion 5 may be fixed to the support base 4, but preferably has a structure that allows it to be removed or folded.

The support stand 4 is formed into a grid shape or a plate with holes as shown in the figure.

The steam vent 3 should be as large as possible in the bath 1.
The design shall be such that the steam from the tank can rise and flow well.

The support stand 4 may be configured to be used as an independent stand placed on the opening 2 of the bath 1, but the support stand 4
The structure is easy to use, in that it is attached to a base frame 6 erected on one side with a shaft 7 and is housed in the base frame 6 by opening it up.

A covering cover 8 made of a stretchable material or a hard plastic material is attached to the support base 4 so as to form a predetermined space 9.

If the cover 8 is made of a stretchable material and the seat part 5 is folded, the entire structure can be stored within the base frame 6 by raising the support stand 4, making it extremely compact and inconvenient. It is convenient to clean up after use.

Incidentally, the base frame 6 may be fixed to a wall surface, but the seat portion 5 and the covering cover 8 may be housed within the base frame 6,
The support stand 4 can also be used as a lid so that it can be carried.

Incidentally, since all the components are made of synthetic resin, it is lightweight and strong, and since the support base 4 is placed on the opening 2, the structure also increases durability and stability against weight.

In the one shown in Fig. 2, the support stand 4 has a substantially round-shaped side surface, and the support stand 3 itself has a seat function and is designed to fit into the opening 2 of the bath 1 by the recess. It is something.

By being recessed in the bath 1, the bath gets closer to the hot water surface, and even when the amount of hot water is small, steam is relatively permeable, and the heat retention ability of the bath tub makes it very warm and comfortable to sit on.

The backrest 51 of the seat part 5 can be folded.

When the support base 4 is made into a cross-shaped shape, durability and stability against weight can be obtained by attaching a safety foot 41 or providing an arm 42 on the side that can be hooked to the edge of the bath.

The support base 4 is provided with a covering cover 8 in the same manner as described above.

The covering cover 8 serves as a steam chamber with a neck outlet hole 81 provided in the upper part.

The covering cover 8 can be made of a hard synthetic resin that opens left and right and is divided into two parts, so that it can be easily inserted and closed, or it can be made of a cloth product with a zipper 82, so that it can be expanded and contracted. It can also be configured to have a bellows shape to facilitate folding.

Fabric products and materials include nylon fabrics and quilted aluminum coated polyester fabrics.

The base frame 6 is installed upright on the wall side and houses the covering cover 8, the seat part 5, and the support base 4, but it can be omitted from the standpoint of steam bath functionality only. .

The base frame 6 can be used as a lid for the bath 1 by tilting it toward the bath 1 using its shaft 7 as a fulcrum.

Since heat can be maintained with the support stand 4 attached, the water temperature does not need to be lowered when using the steam bath several times.

[Effect]

To use the steam bath according to the present invention, remove the lid of the heated bath, place the base frame 6 on one edge of the bath, open the support base 4, and insert it into the opening 2 of the bath 1. let

Next, the backrest 51 of the seat portion 5 is raised up.

After placing a towel or the like on the seat part 5 and sitting down, the covering cover 8 is stretched to cover the body and only the head is exposed, and then closed with a zipper 82 or the like.

When the covering cover 8 is configured to be divided into left and right parts, it is closed to create a sealed space.

In the space inside the cover 8, a steam hole 3 is inserted from below.
Steam rises through the chamber, filling it with steam and creating a steam bath.

Since the steam spreads over the entire body from below, the sweating effect is performed on the whole body, and there is no skin damage caused by local sweating, which is favorable for slimming and beauty.

It goes without saying that if there is a shortage of heated steam, an electric steamer can be prepared separately and used in combination.

Also, even if you take a steam bath for a certain amount of time, the temperature of the water is not very high, so there is no health problem.

Since a towel is spread on the seat part 5 and the center of the seat part 5 is slightly recessed, sweat hardly flows into the bathtub.

When the steam bath is finished, the user can get off the support stand 4 and store the support stand 4 by simply standing it up on the base frame 6, and can take a bath as is.

By repeating this, you can freely alternate between sweating and bathing.

〔effect〕

The steam bath according to the present invention has the above-described structure and function, and has the following effects.

Since it is installed above a domestic bath and uses the steam from the bath, there is no need for a separate heating device or installation location.

Since the structure is simple, it can be manufactured at low cost and has high durability.

A structure in which the support stand, the seat part, and the covering cover are housed in the base frame can also be used as a lid for the bath, is easy to open and close, and is compact and easy to install and carry.

It's a steam sauna with water temperature and body temperature, so it never gets too hot and is safe for your health. Moreover, it has a sauna function that is sufficient for spring and summer temperature conditions.

By providing a backrest and a seat portion, the burden placed on the lower back caused by sitting on the support base can be reduced, allowing the user to use the device in a comfortable posture.

As described above, the present invention is highly useful as it provides a steam bath at a low cost by utilizing the unused space of a domestic bath.
