Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a cover used to keep the whole body warm in a sitz bath that warms the lower body from the waist down, and its purpose is to prevent hot air from the bathtub from escaping to the outside. To provide a cover for a sitz bath that not only prevents the problem and enhances the warming effect of the sitz bath but also is convenient for storage.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. 1 in the drawing is a cover for a sitz bath;
1 is equipped with a cover body 2 made of a flexible membrane-like body 14 formed into a cylindrical body, and a ring-shaped elastic framework 3 is provided at the upper and lower ends of this cover body 2. A plurality of ring-shaped elastic frames 3 are provided in the middle part of the cover body 2.

These elastic frames 3 may be constructed by embedding an elastic wire 4 such as a ring-shaped piano wire or a synthetic resin wire in the cover body 2 as shown in FIG. 2, or as shown in FIG. As shown in the cover body 2
Alternatively, a ring-shaped tube 5 may be formed in the tube 5, and air may be press-fitted into the tube 5.

The upper end opening 16 of the cover main body 2 is made into an exposed part 15 large enough to allow one's face to emerge from here.
The elastic frame 3 of the lower end opening 17 is sized to surround the lower half of the human body A, and this portion is inserted into the bathtub 6.

Then, hot water is poured into the bathtub 6, and the part of the human body A below the waist is immersed in this hot water.

In this state, cover the human body A with the sitz bath cover 1, put the face B out from the upper opening 15 of the sitz bath cover 1, wrap the towel 12 around the neck C, and open the upper opening 1.
Block 5. Further, the elastic frame 3 at the lower end of the cover 1 for a sitz bath is inserted into the bathtub 6, and the inside of the cover 1 for a sitz bath is sealed with hot water.

Note that when the circumferential length of the elastic frame 3 is made approximately equal to the inner circumference of the bathtub 6, the elastic frame 3 is deformed along the inner circumferential surface of the bathtub 6, and the lower circumference of the cover 1 for the sitz bath is aligned with the inner circumference of the bathtub 6. The sitz bath cover 1 can be stabilized by being pressed against the inner circumferential part of the cover 1.

The lower half of human body A enters the hot water, and the upper half of the body is isolated from the atmosphere by the sitz bath cover 1, so the lower half of human body A is slowly warmed at a low temperature, dilating blood vessels, and promoting sweating in the upper body. This allows the human body to sweat profusely over a long period of time without putting strain on the body.

Drinking water can also prevent fatigue and encourage more sweating.

In this case, heating is done at a low temperature and the heating is limited to the lower body, so even patients with heart disease can use the sitz bath. Furthermore, even when the room temperature is low in winter, by using the cover 1 for a sitz bath as described above, sweating can be promoted with the low temperature water.

When the sitz bath cover 1 is not used, the sitz bath cover 1 is folded vertically and stored in a storage location as shown in FIG.

A sleeve-like body 13 may be attached to the cover 1 for the seat bath, as shown in FIG. 8, or a notch for access may be provided in the cover 1. In this case, the user can put his/her hand outside through the sleeve 13 or the notch and use the hand to stuff the towel around the neck C or insert the lower part of the sitz bath cover 1 into the bathtub 6.

As described in detail above, the present invention includes a flexible membrane-like body 14 that forms a cover body 2 whose upper and lower ends are open, and a ring-shaped elastic skeleton at the upper, middle, and lower ends of the cover body 2. 3, the upper end opening 16 of the cover main body 2 is made into an exposed part 15 which is large enough to allow one's face to emerge from the inside of the cover main body 2, and the lower part of the cover main body 2 is formed into a lower part of the lower body of the human body A. This is a cover for a sitz bath that is sized to enclose a sitz bath.

Therefore, when taking a sitz bath, the sitz bath cover is placed over the human body, the face is exposed through the upper end opening 16, which is the exposed part 15, and the lower part of the sitz bath cover is inserted into the hot water in the bathtub. This allows hot air to accumulate within the entire sitz bath cover, increasing the warming effect of the sitz bath, and even when the room temperature is low, especially in winter, the low temperature water promotes perspiration in the upper body, and also increases the warming effect of the sitz bath. be able to.

Further, according to the present invention, the upper end opening 16 of the cover for a sitz bath is made into the face-exposing part 15 which is large enough to allow the face to be exposed from the inside of the cover, so that this part can be wrapped around the neck C. It can be easily closed with the towel 12, and the above-mentioned sitz bath effect can be promoted.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, when the sitz bath cover is not in use, the sitz bath cover can be folded up and down to eliminate bulk, making it convenient to store the sitz bath cover.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, a ring-shaped elastic frame 3 is provided at the lower end of the cover main body 2, and this part is sized to surround the lower half of the human body A, so that the lower end is connected to the bathtub 6. It is one size fits all, and can be used in any size bathtub 6 that can be inserted into the lower end.
It can be used not only in home baths, but also in large baths at spas and other hot spring hotels.
