Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a home-type sauna.

[Conventional technology]

In recent years, home-type saunas installed in ordinary households have become widely used. This sauna has compactness as an important design condition in order to be placed inside the house, and saunas with further expanded functions are being supplied on the market.

A typical example of a home-type sauna is one that has an interior space large enough for one or two people to spend comfortably, and is equipped with a heater, lighting equipment, and the like. It is also common practice to provide seats for people to sit on.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

By the way, in a home-type sauna, it is important to be able to use the interior space effectively and at the same time to make the installation area as small as possible.

On the other hand, under such conditions, a seat on which a person enters and sits occupies a large proportion of the interior space in plan view. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that the internal capacity of the sauna as a whole is determined by the area of the seats.

However, in the past, most seats were of a fixed type, and the planar area of the seats was set in advance to be large enough for a person to sit on them. For this reason, there was a limit to the miniaturization of the overall capacity of the sauna. In addition, if the seat is fixed, the degree of freedom of a person's posture is small, making it unsuitable for spending a long time comfortably.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to make the sauna more compact and to allow it to be used comfortably in a comfortable posture.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a sauna equipped with a seat inside the main body, and the seat includes a seating part and a tiltable backrest pivotally connected to the rear end of the seating part. , the backrest part is built into the inner wall so that its surface is flush with the inner wall of the sauna, and the seat is moved between the seating part and the backrest part by a sliding mechanism disposed on the lower surface of the seating part. is capable of advancing in a direction away from the inner wall, and the slide mechanism is characterized in that a stopper mechanism is provided between the slide mechanism and the main body, which can set a plurality of advancing positions of the seating portion.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the features of the present invention will be specifically explained with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a vertical sectional view of a sauna showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a horizontal sectional view.

A main body 1 of the sauna is formed into a substantially cylindrical shape, and a door 2 having a glass 2a is provided on the front thereof so as to be openable and closable. A seat 10 is arranged in front when the door 2 is opened, and planar heaters 3 are provided on the left and right sides of the door 2 and under the seat 10, respectively.

The interior of the main body 1 is entirely made of wood,
A lighting fixture 4a, a speaker 4b for communication from the outside, and a hanger 4c for hanging towels and the like are attached to the ceiling 1a. Also,
A leg rest 5 is disposed on the back side of the door 2 so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction, and the leg rest 5 can be set substantially horizontally by placing its support piece 5a in the diagonal position shown. When not in use, the support piece 5
A can be folded to the back side of the door 2 and the leg rest 5 can be hung on the back side of the door 2.

Furthermore, a flat partition panel 6 is provided on the back side of the seat 10 so as to create a cavity between it and the inner wall of the main body 1, and a duct for circulating air inside the main body 1, for example, is provided in the hollow part. It is used as a space to store 16a.

As shown in FIG.
They are connected by 0c. Further, auxiliary seats 10d fixed inside the main body 1 are provided on the left and right sides of the seating portion 10a. Further, a slider 11 is integrated on the lower surface of the seating portion 10a, and a slider 11 is integrated on the lower surface of the seating portion 10a,
The seating portion 10a can move forward and backward relative to the inner wall of the main body 1 using a base 12 provided at the upper end of an upright pedestal 1c as a support.

Figures 4 and 5 show the slider 11 and base 1.
This figure shows the details of 2.

A wheel 11a is rotatably provided on the lower surface of the slider 11, and the slider 11 can change its position toward the center of the main body 1 using a rail 12a formed on the base 12 as a guide. Furthermore, the position of the slider 11 with respect to the base 12 is restricted as follows.
This is done by a restraint mechanism provided on the base 12.

That is, the base 12 is rotatably provided with an operating shaft 13b having an operating handle 13a on its front surface, and a stopper 13c protruding in the radial direction is attached to the operating shaft 13b. This stopper 13
c is biased clockwise by a spring 13d as shown in FIG. On the other hand, on the lower surface of the slider 11, a plurality of engagement holes 11b into which the stoppers 13c enter are provided at one pitch. As shown in FIG. 5, the stopper 13c is fitted into the engagement hole 11b located at the most distal end, and at this time the backrest portion 10b is held in a substantially vertical position. Furthermore, when the operating handle 13a is rotated counterclockwise as shown in FIG.
c is removed from the engagement hole 11b, and the slider 11 becomes free with respect to the base 12. Therefore, when the slider 11 is moved forward and reaches the appropriate position, if you release your hand from the operating handle 13a, the stopper 13c is fitted into another engagement hole 11b by the biasing force of the spring 13d. and is restrained from moving from that position.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, a guide rail 6b is arranged on the partition panel 6 into which the backrest part 10b is fitted, and the wheels 14 provided at both ends of the backrest part 10b are guided by this guide rail 6b and roll. move. Further, a shutter 15 is connected to the upper end of the backrest portion 10b in order to prevent the inside of the partition panel 6 from being seen when the seating portion 10a is moved forward. This shutter 15 is of an accordion type used in kitchen cabinets and the like, and can be operated in accordance with the rise and fall of the backrest portion 10b. In addition, shutter 15
has both ends wound around the upper end portion of the guide rail 6b, and is provided with a weight, elastic means, etc. so that it runs smoothly on this wound portion when the backrest portion 10b rises. is preferred.

In the above configuration, when the seat 10 is set to the innermost position, the backrest part 1
0b takes a posture as if it were included in the partition panel 6. Further, the seating portion 10a is arranged to be integrated with the left and right auxiliary seats 10d. Therefore, when opening the door 2 to enter or exit the room,
The area of the floor 1b is increased, allowing for comfortable entry and exit.

Further, when in use, it can be made into a reclining seat by pulling the seat portion 10a forward and tilting the backrest portion 10b. To perform this operation, grasp the operating handle 13a under the seat 10a with your hand, rotate it counterclockwise in FIG.
This is done by removing it from the engagement hole 11b. By this operation, the slider 11 becomes free with respect to the base 12, and the seat 10a can be pulled out to the front while sitting or standing on the seat 10a. Then, place the operating handle 13a in an appropriate position.
When the hand is released, the stopper 13c tends to rotate clockwise in FIG. 4 due to the biasing force of the spring 13d, and locks the slider 11 when aligned with the engagement hole 11b.

At the same time as such pulling out of the seating portion 10a,
The backrest portion 10b assumes an inclined position as shown in FIG. 3b. At this time, the shutter 15 is also pulled down with the lowering of the backrest portion 10b, and the gap formed between the backrest portion 10b and the partition panel 6 can be hidden as shown in FIG.

As described above, the seat 10 can be used as a reclining seat with an inclined backrest 10b by pulling out the seating portion 10a. Therefore, even if you spend a long time in the sauna,
It can be used comfortably in a comfortable position. Also, shutter 1
5 hides the back side of the partition panel 6, so there is no problem in terms of appearance.

Furthermore, when the seat 10 is not in use, the entire seat 10 can be retracted to the rear, thereby increasing the area of the floor 1b and making it easier to enter and exit. Once a person enters or exits, changes his/her posture to the door 2 side, and pulls out the seat 10, the space inside the main body 1 can be effectively utilized, and the person can put his/her legs on the leg rest 5 and fully stretch his or her body. You can take a comfortable position.

It goes without saying that members such as the guide rail 6b, slider 11, and base 12 should be made of materials that do not rust, since the inside of the main body 1 is hot and humid. Further, it is preferable that all of these members be located on the lower surface or back surface of the seat 10 made of wood so that they do not come into contact with the body of a person when sitting on the seat. And furthermore, shutter 15
By providing this, the guide rail 6b and the like that support this are not exposed, and the body is also prevented from touching such members.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, in the sauna of the present invention, the seating part of the seat can be pulled out to the front and at the same time the backrest can be tilted so that it can be used as a reclining seat. Furthermore, when not in use, the entire seat can be pushed away from the door of the main body. Therefore, by pushing the seat in, the floor space can be used more widely, and passengers can get to and leave the seat without having to take an awkward posture when entering or exiting. In addition, as long as there is enough space to pull the seat forward only when using the sauna, it will not interfere with the use of the sauna by people, so the overall capacity of the sauna can be reduced, making it an ideal product for home use. Furthermore, the seat can be set in a plurality of positions using the stopper mechanism, and the inclination of the backrest can be changed in various ways, so it can be used comfortably according to the person's physique.
