Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) This invention relates to a retractable sauna bathroom that is portable and can be installed indoors, and belongs to the field of manufacturing and sales of sauna bathrooms.

(Prior Art) A sauna using a conventional far-infrared tube was developed and proposed by the applicant (Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 65163/1983).
In addition, regarding the storage type sauna bath, there is a hanging sauna bath with a bellows-shaped cylindrical wall.
No.) is known.

(Problems to be Solved by Ideas) Most of the simple indoor sauna bathrooms that have been proposed so far have a solid structure, and it is difficult to store them in a small volume even when they are not needed. Further, in the case of a structure having a bellows-like contracting wall, the volume becomes small when stored, but on the other hand, there is a problem that the shape retention is poor.

In addition, many of these devices are relatively difficult to assemble, store, or move, and they all have the problem of not being easily stored.

(Means to solve the problem) However, this idea connects the foldable left and right side walls to the box-shaped front and rear walls to form a cylindrical body, and attaches a top plate to this so that it can be opened and closed. This provides a retractable sauna bathroom that can be easily and quickly assembled or stored.

That is, this invention is a sauna bathroom with a capped cylindrical shape consisting of front and rear walls, left and right side walls, and a top plate, in which the front and rear walls are rectangular and have a depth that can accommodate at least one side wall or 1/2 of each of both walls. It is box-shaped, the side walls are provided with at least one vertical joint, both side edges are rotatably connected to the front and rear walls, one side of the top plate is rotatably connected to the front wall or the rear wall, and A storage type sauna bathroom was constructed by attaching fixing means to the other side and installing far-infrared tubes on one or both of the front and rear walls.

The front and rear walls in the above are constructed by installing a frame made of the same material or a hard material such as metal or plastic around the outer periphery of a wall plate made of a heat insulating material, and the height of the frame is determined by the installation of far-infrared tubes. and is sized to accommodate the folded side walls. Next, for the side walls, for example, a rectangular metal shape-retaining frame (metal frames are assembled in a square shape) is fitted with a heat insulating covering, or a heat insulating material is fitted inside the shape-retaining frame, and the joints are covered with heat insulating material. It is used by covering the material.

Next, the vertical joint is constructed by removably fitting the fitting recesses provided on the opposing edges of the two shape-retaining frames forming the side wall. There is no limit to the number of joints on the side wall, but one or two joints is usually appropriate. In particular, it is necessary to prevent the strength of the joints from weakening. For example, it is preferable that the joint portion maintains rigidity by fitting into the fitting recess.

The heat insulating material may be, for example, a hard urethane plate, and any material with excellent strength, heat insulation properties, and heat resistance can be used. However, on surfaces of materials such as metal surfaces that easily become hot and that are undesirable for contact with the human body while still at high temperatures, wall surfaces are treated by layering fabric or flocking. . Next, as a heat source, far-infrared tubes are used, which are installed at the top and bottom of one side of the front and back walls, so that infrared rays can be irradiated over the entire surface of the human body from the front, back, top, and bottom to heat it.

Next, the heat insulating covering material is obtained by layering aluminum foil (or aluminum vapor deposition) on a synthetic resin sheet, and layering a foamed synthetic resin thin plate (for example, a foamed urethane plate) on this.

(Function) In this invention, the front and rear walls are connected by foldable left and right side walls, and the side walls can be housed in the front and rear walls, so assembly and storage are extremely easy, and the whole can be stored compactly. can. However, the assembled bathroom has great rigidity and there is no risk of deformation during use.

(Example 1) Next, an example of this invention will be described.

Frames 3 and 4 of a predetermined width (height) are installed around the front and rear wall plates 1 and 2 made of a heat insulating material to form box-shaped front and rear walls 5 and 6, and side plates 7a and 7a are attached to the front wall 5. One side of 8a is rotatably attached, and the side plates 7a, 8a
Side plates 7b and 8b are connected to each other via joints 9 and 10, and the other sides of the side plates 7b and 8b are rotatably attached to the frame 4 of the rear wall 6, respectively. The left and right side walls 11 and 12 are constituted by the side plates 7a and 7b and the side plates 8a and 8b. One side of the top plate 13 is rotatably attached to the upper frame 4a of the rear wall, and the other side of the top plate 13 has a permanent magnet piece 14 that attracts an iron piece 26 fixed to the front wall.
is fixed, forming a sauna bath in the shape of a capped cylinder. In the figure, 15 is a caster attached to the lower part of the front and rear walls, 16 and 17 are far-infrared tubes, 18 and 18a are switches, 19 is a timer, 20 is a thermostat, 21 is an air hole that also serves as a handle on the front wall, and 22 is a frame on the front and rear walls. 23 is a see-through hole provided in the front wall, and 40 is a narrow groove for venting air between both edges of the top plate and the side wall.

In the above embodiment, the joints 9 and 10 are provided with a vertical fitting recess 29 at the end of the frame 28 of the side plate 7a and a vertical fitting recess 31 at the end of the frame 30 of the side plate 7b, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, for example. are provided, and the fitting recesses 29, 31
are constructed by fitting them together. The joint portion is covered with a heat insulating covering material 32.

Next, in Fig. 10, the insulation material is the hard urethane plate 3.
The inner surface of 3 is flocked with hair 34, and the outer surface is colored or printed with a pattern. In the figure, 35 is a frame. Further, the heat insulating covering material 32 includes, for example, an aluminum foil 37 (or an aluminum vapor-deposited film) layered on one surface of a synthetic resin sheet 36, and a foamed urethane thin plate 38 layered on the aluminum foil surface. (Fig. 11) In the above embodiment, the far-infrared tube has a wavelength of
10μ~100μ, output 900W, internal temperature 65℃
It can be heated to a certain temperature.

The sauna bathroom of the above embodiment is assembled into a rectangular parallelepiped shape as shown in Fig. 1, but when not in use,
As shown in Fig. 4, it is stored in a trunk type, making it convenient for transportation and handling. It is also possible to move it by pulling it using casters. In the above embodiment, in order to use the stored sauna bathroom, the stored state is carried to the installation position in the room as shown in FIG. , 24a (the rear wall 6 is fixed, although the front wall may be fixed and the rear wall is pulled), and the side walls 11,
Pull out 12. In this case, the side wall 11 is the front wall 5
The side wall 12 is housed in the rear wall 6, covering the far-infrared tubes 16, 17, and closing the openings of the front and rear walls 5, 6.

When the front and rear walls are separated sufficiently as described above,
Since the side walls 11 and 12 are substantially in a straight line and the joints fit into each other (FIG. 3), the side walls form a solid solid wall. Next, lift the top plate 13 housed in the rear wall as shown by the arrow 25 and fix the permanent magnet piece 14 of the top plate 13 to the iron piece 26 fixed to the front wall frame by adsorption, as shown in Fig. 1. The sauna bathroom is completed.
To store the assembled bathroom, follow the steps in reverse. In other words, first remove the top plate and store it inside the back wall.
Next, apply external force to the joints of the left and right side walls in the direction of arrow 39 from the state shown in Fig. 8, and remove them as shown in Fig. 9.
After that, if the front and rear walls 5 and 6 are brought close to each other as shown by arrows 27 and 27a, the left and right side walls 1 are inserted into the front and rear walls 5 and 6.
1 and 12 are stored and compactly assembled as shown in Fig. 4.

As mentioned above, the sauna bathroom of this invention has the advantage that it can be assembled and stored automatically by simply separating the front and rear walls, and does not require any special skills.

(Embodiment 2) In this embodiment, when storing the side walls in the front and rear walls of Embodiment 1, each side wall 7a is
and 8a are housed in the front wall 5, and 7b and 8b are housed in the rear wall 6.
It is designed to be stored inside.

(Example 3) This example is based on the seventh example in Examples 1 and 2.
As shown in the figure, the front and rear side walls are 1/2 foldable, while side plates 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d and 8a, 8
B, 8c8d are 1/4 folding type.

In the case of the above-mentioned embodiment, when a sauna bathroom of the same volume is housed, there is an advantage that the width is reduced although the thickness is increased slightly.

(Effects of the invention) In this invention, the left and right side walls are housed within the front and rear walls, making the storage extremely compact and easy to transport and handle. Furthermore, since it can be assembled or stored by moving the front and rear walls toward and away from each other, it has various advantages such as not requiring any special skills for handling.

In addition, the front and rear walls have a frame made of the same material or a hard material such as metal or plastic surrounding the outer periphery of the wall plate made of hard urethane, so it has a simple structure and of course has excellent heat insulation properties. Although lightweight, it has excellent shape retention and does not lose its shape.
It has the effect of being highly durable. In addition, the side wall is constructed by attaching a laminated material of synthetic resin sheet, aluminum foil, and foamed synthetic resin thin plate to a rectangular shape-retaining frame, so it has excellent heat insulation and shape-retaining properties, and is not only superior in terms of thermoeconomics. It also has good shape retention. Further, due to the vertical joint, there are various effects such as good airtightness and smooth folding. Furthermore, since the contact material is made of flocked hair or cloth and is layered on the inner surfaces of the front and rear walls, even if a high temperature area occurs on the wall surface, it will not be transmitted to the human body, and the material will feel good to the touch.
