[Detailed description of the invention] (Technical field to which the invention belongs) The present invention relates to a foldable sauna box installed in a bathroom.

(Problems with the design and its features) When installing sauna equipment in the bathroom of a private residence, etc., it is necessary to further partition the bathroom to form a sauna room to prevent heat from escaping. The formation of this will cause the bathroom to become narrower, making it inconvenient to take a bath.

Conventionally, a sauna room is formed using a vinyl sheet, and the vinyl sheet is folded up against the wall when not in use. Because it seems so cheap, it is not suitable for bathrooms in private residences, and it is not suitable for bathrooms in inns.

In addition, full-fledged folding sauna boxes with folding side walls are already known (in 1987-
Publication No. 69733, Publication No. 145635 of Utility Model Application No. 58-145635, Publication of Utility Model Application No.
(Refer to Publication No. 58-84141), these known foldable sauna boxes have a ceiling that can also be folded, which not only complicates the structure, but also makes the sauna box different when in use and when not in use. It is also troublesome to operate.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a foldable sauna box for bathrooms that can sufficiently prevent heat dissipation, has a good appearance, has a simple structure, and is easy to use. Its structural features are as described in the claims for utility model registration.

The foldable sauna box of the present invention is fixedly installed on the side wall of the bathroom, and can be easily put into use and non-use by simply grasping the appropriate place on the front wall of the front folding part and moving it back and forth. It's becoming like that.

(Explanation of Embodiment) Figures 1 to 3 are general views of an embodiment of the present invention.
In the figure, 1 is a body part and 2 is a ceiling part.

The body part 1 has a rear fixed part 3 and a front folding part 4.
The rear fixed part 3 is fixed to the side wall 5 of the bathroom together with the ceiling part 2, and the front folding part 4 is fixed to the third
It is designed to be in a used state shown by a solid line in the figure and an unused state shown by a chain line.

As shown in FIG. 4, the side wall 6 of the rear fixing portion 3 is made of a shaped material such as aluminum, and the rear wall 7 is made of an acrylic resin plate or an asbestos plate.

The folding side wall 8 of the front folding part 4 consists of two plates 9, 9', and the rear edge of the rear plate 9 is attached to the front edge of the side wall 6 via a pivot joint 10,
The front wall 11 of the front folding section 4 is constructed by attaching a hinged door 13 to a frame 12, and the front edge of the front plate 9' of the folding side wall 8 is attached to the rigid frame 14 of the frame 12 via a pivoting section 10'. installed.

Springs 15, 1 are attached to the pivot parts 10, 10'.
5', and the folding side wall 8 is biased so as to be folded inward about the pivot portion 16 of the plates 9, 9'.

The plate bodies 9, 9' and the hinged door 13 are formed from a shape such as aluminum and a glass plate, and the frame 12 is also formed from a shape such as aluminum.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the ceiling section 2 is composed of a frame 17 made of aluminum or the like and a ceiling plate 18 made of acrylic resin or the like, and extends forward over the rear fixing section 3. The base of the projecting portion is supported by a bracket 19 (see FIG. 2).

A rail portion 21 extending in the front-rear direction is formed inside the side frame 20 of the frame 17, and a hanging wheel 22 runs on this rail portion 21. A hanging member 23 extends downward from the hanging wheel 22. is the front wall 11
It is screwed to the jamb 14 of.

On the lower surface of the ceiling part 18, there are receiving metal fittings 24, 2 at two locations, one in the extended position and one in the contracted position of the front folding part 4.
4' are fixed, and by engaging these with the rotating piece 27 of the tightening handle 26 attached to the upper frame 25 of the frame 12, the front folding part 4 is held in the extended position and the contracted position. ing.

A sealing material 29 is attached to the lower frame 28 of the frame 12 in such a manner that it slides up and down and is always in contact with the floor surface 30 of the bathroom.A similar sealing material is attached to the plates 9, 9'. It is also attached to the lower stile.

Sauna equipment such as a heater is installed inside the rear fixed part 3, and the heater is preferably of a so-called far-infrared type.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the folding side wall 8 is made up of two plates 9 and 9', which can be folded inward, but the number of plates is not limited to two and can be folded. The direction is not limited to the inside either. Further, although a hinged door 13 is provided at the entrance formed by the frame 12 of the front wall 11, it is of course possible to use a folding door, a sliding door, or the like. Furthermore, although the jamb 14 is suspended by a hanging wheel 22, instead of being suspended from above, for example, a running wheel is attached to the lower end of the jamb 14, and the upper end of the jamb 14 is suspended from the ceiling using appropriate guide means. It may also be guided along the side frame 17 of the section 2.

(Effect of the invention) The sauna box of the invention is as described above, so it can be installed in the bathroom, the front folding part can be extended when necessary to enjoy sauna bathing in a comfortable state, and after use, the sauna box can be placed in the front Not only can you prevent the space in the bathroom from becoming narrow by shrinking the folding part, but it can also effectively prevent heat from escaping.
