Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an in-bath jet device that spouts hot water using pump pressure, and in particular, an in-bath jet device in which a pump can be used in place of a head rest. It is related to.

[Conventional technology]

Traditional methods involve suctioning the hot water in the bathtub and mixing it with air, or jetting the hot water into the bath at the required pressure without mixing air, and stimulating the skin of the bather with this jet to perform in-bath massage. The in-bath jet device has a jet nozzle and a pump that are both immersed in the hot water in the bathtub. The hot water is mixed with hot water sent through the bath, and the mixture is ejected into the bath from the ejection nozzle at the required pressure.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in the conventional device, the pump is placed inside the bathtub, which makes the inside of the bathtub that much smaller, which is inconvenient in that the user feels relaxed and cannot perform massage while taking a bath.

Of course, it is possible to take the pump out of the bathtub and place it in the washing area, but that would make the washing area smaller and the pipes for sucking and discharging hot water would occupy part of the washing area, making it difficult to wash the body. A new problem arises in that it gets in the way.

This invention was made in view of the above circumstances,
The purpose is to provide an in-bath jet device that can be used widely without constricting the inside of the bathtub (or the washing area of the bathroom) and allows one to enjoy a relaxing bathing massage.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention employs the following means. That is, in the present invention, a pump that sucks hot water into the bathtub and squirts it from a nozzle provided in the bathtub is provided near the upper surface of the edge of the bathtub,
forming the outer jacket of the pump into a headrest shape;
A means to solve this problem is to have a pump in the core and a cushioning material around the pump.

[Effect]

In the present invention configured as described above, when the pump is started, the hot water in the bathtub is sucked into the pump chamber, and this sucked hot water can be powerfully jetted into the bath from the jetting nozzle installed inside the bathtub. However, the outer cover of the pump is shaped like a head rest and can be used as a pillow during the bath massage without being placed in the bath, so it is possible to enjoy the bath massage in a relaxed manner. become.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of an embodiment of the bath jet device according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows a sectional view of a pump having a headrest-shaped outer cover. ing.

In FIG. 1, a bathtub 1 is a supine type Western-style bathtub, and as shown in FIG.
is fixed. This pump 3 is designed so that a person bathing in a supine position can rest their head on it, and the outer cover 4 of the pump is formed in the shape of a headrest to stabilize and support the head. A depression 5 in the shape of a head is provided in the center.

The present invention is characterized in that the outer sheath 4 that houses the pump 3 is shaped like a headrest, and in this embodiment,
As shown in FIG.
is housed as a core. And pump 3
A suitable cushioning material 6 such as rubber or styrofoam is placed on the outer periphery of the pump 3 to provide cushioning properties. covered. An appropriate number of suction cups 2 are provided at appropriate positions on the outer periphery of the outer sheath 4, and by pressing these suction cups 2 against the wall surface of the bathtub, the outer sheath 4 is suctioned and fixed to the upper surface of the edge of the bathtub 1. .

On the other hand, one end of a water suction pipe 8 made of a hose or pipe is connected to the suction port of the pump 3, and the other end of this water suction pipe 8 penetrates through the outer wall 4 and extends into the bathtub 1, and its tip end is connected to the suction port of the pump 3. A water absorption basket 10 is attached. This water absorption basket 10 has a plurality of slit holes 11 bored in a cylindrical wall surface, and these slit holes 11 serve as hot water intake ports.

On the other hand, the base end side of a water pipe 12 made of a hose, pipe, etc. is similarly connected to the discharge port of the pump 3, and the distal end side of this water pipe 12 similarly penetrates through the jacket 4 and reaches a desired position in the bathtub 1. It extends and has a jet nozzle 13 attached to its tip with its spout 14 facing into the bath.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained.

When performing bath pine surge while taking a bath, if you turn on pump 3, the pump will start and
The hot water in the bathtub 1 is sucked through the slit hole 11 of the water absorption basket 10, this sucked hot water passes through the water suction pipe 8 and enters the room of the pump 3, and the hot water at the required pressure is sent from the discharge port of the pump 3 to the water supply pipe. 12 and is guided to a jet nozzle 13, and is powerfully jetted into the bath from a spout 14 of this jet nozzle 13. When this jet stream is received while taking a bath, appropriate stimulation is given to the skin, resulting in a bathing massage.

When you place your head on the pump 3 during the above-mentioned bath pine surge, the outer cover 4 of the pump 3 is like a headrest that covers your head moderately, so you can enjoy the bath pine surge in a very relaxed manner. ,
This pump can be used as a pillow even when the pump 3 is not activated.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and may take other forms. For example, in this embodiment, the outer cover 4 is fixed to the bathtub 1 with the suction cup 2, but this may be fixed using bolts or the like.

Further, in this embodiment, air (bubbles) is mixed with the hot water sucked from the bathtub 1 and jetted into the bath from the nozzle 13, but only hot water may be spouted into the bath. However, if air is not mixed, no ultrasonic waves will be generated in the bath, and the pine surge effect will be somewhat reduced.

[Effect of idea]

In this invention, the pump is covered with a headrest-like outer cover so that the pump can be used as a pillow, so the bathtub can be used spaciously, and there is no need to place the pump in the washing area, making it extremely easy to use. You can spend some time in the bath feeling relaxed. Moreover, there is no need to make the washing area narrower, or the pump's suction and drainage (suction water) pipes to get in the way of the washing area.
