DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 1 is a plan sectional view showing an embodiment of a high temperature fog drop shower device of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a side sectional view thereof. A stool 3 that is a seating portion is formed on a wall 4 that forms the shower room 2. The wall 4, which is the back surface of the stool 3, has a curved concave shape. Also, the body 1 sitting on the stool 3
In front of the, the fog droplets 13 with a particle size of 200-600 microns
a plurality of nozzles 12 for injecting a, 13b, and 13c
a, 12b, 12c, 12b and 12e are arranged. Here, the nozzles 12a, 12b, 12d, and 12e are adapted to inject toward the seated shoulder, chest, abdomen, and feet, respectively. The hot water from the hot water supply pipe 6 connected to the hot water supply device and the water from the water supply pipe 7 are temperature-controlled by a hot and cold water mixing plug 9 and are supplied to the respective nozzles through a pipe 8. Further, a temperature control knob 10a is provided in the bathroom.

With the above structure, when the temperature of the hot water is set to 45 to 50 ° C. and the fog droplets are ejected, the body surface in the sitting posture is wrapped with the high temperature fog droplets 13a, 13b and 13c. At this time,
The high-temperature fog droplets 13a, 13b, and 13c sprayed from the respective nozzles scatter around the body and increase the temperature of the atmosphere, so they warm up well, and thus do not warm up as is usually said when taking a shower bath. The problem is solved. Although the temperature is set higher than that of a normal shower, the particle size of the fog droplets is small, so that the temperature is not cooled by the air before reaching the body 1 and the heat is not felt. On the other hand, it is very similar to the steam sauna bath in that it is wrapped with fine high-temperature mist droplets, but in the case of this embodiment, since the mist droplets are jetted directly to the body, irritation by the jet is obtained, which is a kind of Has the effect of massage.

As for the nozzle 12c, the seat 3
The nozzle direction is set so that the ink is directly jetted to the concave wall 4 corresponding to the back surface of the. Fog droplet 1 ejected from the nozzle 12c
3b is reflected by the concave wall on the back surface of the body and wraps around the back side of the body 1. Therefore, it is possible to effectively wrap the whole body in the high temperature mist by only the injection from the front.
Further, the plurality of nozzles 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d and 12e can be integrated in one pipe 8, the cost is low, and the assembly work can be simplified.

On the other hand, the nozzles 12a corresponding to the shoulders and the nozzles 12b corresponding to the chest are installed so that their ejection patterns are flat in the horizontal direction and the nozzles are movable in the vertical direction. FIG. 3 is a main sectional view of a fog droplet nozzle having a flat ejection pattern. With this configuration, it is possible to prevent the mist droplets 13a ejected to a part close to the face such as the shoulder and chest from spreading in the vertical direction, to eliminate direct ejection to the face, and to prevent breathing of the fog droplets during breathing, causing breathing difficulty I do not feel it. Also, when there is a difference in body size between users, it can be dealt with by adjusting the ejection direction up and down.

In this embodiment, the horizontal distance F from the body 1 to each nozzle is 550 mm, and the distances between the nozzles are A = 200 mm, B = 300 mm, C and D, respectively.
= 200 mm and E = 200 mm. In addition, the nozzle 13c
The spread angle a from the center to the left and right is 30 ° as shown in FIG.

Although the nozzles are arranged in front of the seat body 1 in the above embodiment, the arrangement is not limited to this, and as shown in FIG. 4, the nozzles are arranged in the space of the shower room. For effective use, the seat body 1 may be diagonally ahead of the body 1.

[0022]

As described above, the high temperature fog drop shower device of the present invention jets a high temperature fog drop shower from a plurality of nozzles provided in front of the body to the body sitting on the seating portion of the concave back surface and the concave back surface. , And a nozzle that sprays near the face of the body,
By making the spray pattern vertically movable and flat in the horizontal direction, the hot mist shower shower covers the surface of the sitting body excluding the face part and scatters around the body to wrap around the sitting body. To warm. Also, since it is sprayed directly on the body, it gives a pleasant stimulus with a massage effect to the body. On the other hand, since there is no direct injection to the face, it does not feel stuffy even in fog. In addition, there is no feeling of pressure due to water pressure as in bathing. In this way, in the space-saving space of the shower room, it is possible to obtain a warm, relaxed and relaxing bathing sensation by a simple and inexpensive method without using an expensive device.
