 The present invention relates to a bathtub pillow. More specifically, the present invention relates to a new bathtub pillow which is useful for preventing hot flashes of bathers and keeping the neck line warm.

[Prior Art]

 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, bathtubs having various structures and designs have been installed in bathrooms of houses and the like. In recent years, for example, as shown in FIG. The preparations for b) are beginning to spread. As shown in the side view of FIG. 5, such a bathtub pillow (a) is provided so as to maintain a comfortable posture when taking a bath, and hits when the head is leaning back. In order to make it soft, a cushioning material (d) such as urethane is wrapped around the metal pipe (c) erected on the flange part (a).

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in such a conventional bathtub pillow (a), no special consideration was given to the sensible temperature of the surface of the pillow, even though the head and neck were in direct contact when taking a bath. Therefore, when taking a bath in the summer, the cushioning material (d) causes a feeling of heat, and in the winter, the neck and shoulders become cold. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and solves the drawbacks of the conventional bathtub pillow and cools or heats the surface temperature of the bathtub comfortably for bathers. Intended to provide pillows.

In winter, warm water can be used to warm the neck and shoulders to keep them warm. Further, when the water supply valve and / or the hot water supply valve is provided on the flange portion, this can be easily operated during bathing, and the bath pillow can be cooled or heated freely. .

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, and the bathtub pillow of the present invention will be described in more detail. FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view illustrating the configuration of the bathtub pillow of the present invention. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the bathtub pillow (1) of the present invention has a water pipe (2) and a hot water pipe (3) therein. Of these, the water pipe (2) is connected to the tap water supply port (4), and cold water flows by opening the water supply valve (5) to cool the bathtub pillow (1). The cold water that has flowed through the water pipe (2) can be discharged to the outside of the bath as it is. On the other hand, in the case of the hot water pipe (3), the hot water inlet (6) is arranged on the surface of or inside the bathtub (7), and the hot water supply valve (8) is opened to allow the pressure switch (9) to operate. The hot water in the bathtub (7) sucked up by the circulation pump (10) is passed through so as to warm the bathtub pillow (1). The hot water flowing through the hot water pipe (3) is discharged from the discharge port (11) in the bathtub (1) and becomes hot water in the bathtub (1) again. FIG. 2 is a side sectional view showing an embodiment of the bathtub pillow of the present invention. For example, in this bathtub pillow (1), a cushion material (14) made of urethane or the like is wrapped around a metal pipe (13) standing on a flange (12), and water is put inside the metal pipe (13). The pipe (2) for hot water and the pipe (3) for hot water are made to penetrate. FIG. 3 shows an example of a bathtub including such a bathtub pillow, and a water supply valve (5) and a hot water supply valve disposed on a flange portion (12) near the bathtub pillow (1). By operating (8), cold water or hot water is appropriately selected and water is passed through each pipe so that the bath pillow (1) can be cooled or heated. Of course, this invention is not limited to the above examples, and it goes without saying that various aspects are possible in details such as the shape of the bathtub pillow and its installation position.

[Effect of the device]

 As described in detail above, this device makes it possible to prevent hot flashes during bathing and to keep the neck and other parts of the body warm during bathing in winter.
