Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the fantastic environment by arranging light sources for the radiation of ultraviolet rays which lightens the fluorescent substance, in a room. CONSTITUTION:The proper patterns such as constellation are drawn on a ceiling part R and wall surface W by using a fluorescent paint, etc., and a bath agent containing the fluorescent substance is mixed into the hot water filling a bathtub B. Then, a common lighting A and an ultraviolet ray light C are arranged on the ceiling part R in a bath room Y, and the lower surface parts and front parts of the light A and the ultraviolet ray lamp C are covered by a reflecting plate D which is constituted by bending the side surface shape nearly to an S form. Then, the slits 1 for leading the light irradiated from the light A and the ultraviolet ray lamp C directly to the bathtub B are formed. When only the ultraviolet ray lamp C is turned ON, the light is reflected by the reflecting plate D, and the fluorescent substance in the pattern drawn on the ceiling part R and wall surface W lightens, and the fantastic environment in which only the patterns generate light in a dark space can be obtained.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bathroom provided with lighting using near-ultraviolet rays, and more particularly to a bathroom which is comfortable and can create a fantastic atmosphere in the room.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, the importance of bathrooms has been re-recognized as a space for refreshing and meditation that can be monopolized by one person, and the conditions required for bathrooms are diversifying.

However, as a lighting device used in this type of bathroom, a fluorescent lamp or an incandescent lamp is generally attached to the ceiling or wall surface.

Therefore, in the above-mentioned conventional bathroom, since the color tone and illuminance due to the indoor lighting are constant and monotonous, the bathroom merely serves as a place for washing the body and is refreshed. There was a problem that it was not configured as a place for meditation, for example, to create an atmosphere of effectively producing a fantastic and mysterious space.

The present invention was devised in view of the current situation, and the purpose thereof is to
The aim is to provide a bathroom with functions that can be effectively rendered as a fantastic and mysterious refreshing and meditation venue.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the bathroom according to the present invention is characterized in that a light source for irradiating near-ultraviolet rays that emits a fluorescent substance is arranged in the room. .

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to an embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, a bathroom Y according to this embodiment has a structure similar to that of a publicly known structure in which a bathtub B and the like are arranged, and a ceiling portion R has a curved dome shape. Is formed in.

On the ceiling R and the wall W, for example,
Appropriate patterns such as constellations are drawn with a fluorescent paint or the like, and a known bathing agent containing a fluorescent substance is mixed in the hot water in the bath B. Of course, it is also possible to form the ceiling portion R and the wall surface W by mixing a fluorescent substance into the material forming the ceiling portion R and the wall surface W.

On the ceiling R of the bathroom Y constructed in this way, there is a general illuminating lamp A which is a known fluorescent lamp or incandescent lamp.
A near-ultraviolet lamp C that emits near-ultraviolet light having a strong fluorescent light emitting effect is provided, and both the general illumination lamp A and the near-ultraviolet lamp C are selected by a selection switch (not shown) provided in the bathroom Y. Alternatively, it is wired so that one of them can be turned on.

The near-ultraviolet lamp C has a wavelength of 300 nm which is harmful to the eyes.
The following known lamps that do not emit ultraviolet rays and efficiently emit only near ultraviolet rays having a strong peak wavelength of 352 nm with a strong fluorescent action are used.

Since the reflector used in the general illumination lamp A is generally a white melamine coating, it hardly reflects a wavelength of 400 nm or less. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the near ultraviolet rays are efficiently reflected. Therefore, as the reflecting plate D, one made of a metal such as aluminum, one having a reflecting portion plated, or one having electrolytic polishing applied thereto is used.

As shown in FIG. 2, the reflector D is formed by bending the side surface into a substantially S-shape, and the lower surface portion and the front portion of the general illumination lamp A and the near-ultraviolet lamp C are connected to each other. The cover is configured so that the light emitted from the general illumination lamp A and / or the near-ultraviolet lamp C is effectively emitted to the ceiling portion R, and the reflector D has the general illumination lamp A described above. And / or slits 1 for guiding the light emitted from the near-ultraviolet lamp C directly to the bathtub B direction are provided. The slit 1 may be a single line as shown in FIG. 1, or may be a double line or a plurality of lines as shown in FIG. 2, and may be configured to be openable and closable.

Next, the lighting effect of the bathroom constructed as above will be described.

First, when the general illumination lamp A is turned on, the interior of the bathroom has a uniform color tone and illuminance, as in the conventional illumination device. However, even in this case, the light emitted from the general illumination lamp A is so-called "indirect illumination" in which the light is reflected by the reflector D to illuminate the inside of the bathroom, so that a soft and warm illumination is obtained. be able to.

Next, when only the near-ultraviolet ray lamp C is turned on, a part of the near-ultraviolet ray is reflected by the reflecting plate D to develop a fluorescent substance such as a pattern drawn on the ceiling R or the wall W. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a fantastic atmosphere in which only this pattern is colored in a dark space, and when a constellation or the like is drawn on the ceiling R, the atmosphere of a planetarium can be created. Can be produced in a mysterious and fantastic space. Of course, the above pattern can be arbitrarily drawn with a commercially available fluorescent coloring pen, and an original atmosphere can be easily created.

Further, near-ultraviolet rays radiated from the slit 1 of the reflector D in the direction of the bath B cause the fluorescent substance of the bathing agent mixed in the hot water in the bath B to be colored, so that the hot water will be generated in a dark space. You can get a mysterious and fantastic atmosphere of glowing. Of course, when the near-ultraviolet lamp C is turned on, a blue light or the like is turned on separately from the general illumination lamp A, so that a more fantastic atmosphere can be produced.

In the above embodiment, the case in which the ceiling portion R is formed in a dome shape has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a horizontal pattern corresponding to a pattern is provided. Alternatively, it can be formed in an uneven shape.
The shape of the reflector D is not limited to the above embodiment.

[0019]

As described above, the present invention is configured such that near ultraviolet rays cause a fluorescent substance such as a pattern drawn on a ceiling or a wall in a bathroom to emit color, so that only the pattern is dark. You can get a fantastic atmosphere that colors, for example, if you draw a constellation on the ceiling, you can create the atmosphere of a planetarium, so you can create a mysterious and fantastic space in the bathroom. As a result, the bathroom can be effectively rendered as a fantastic and mysterious place for refreshing and meditation, which greatly improves comfort.
