Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a jet bath in which piping connected to a pump does not penetrate the foundation or the groundwork of a building. CONSTITUTION:An intake piping 6 is raised in a position being higher than an injection port 3 in the vicinity of a tub, and also, such a gradient as always turning horizontally or upward toward a pump 5 is provided, and moreover, an air vent valve 16 for exhausting air which collects in the piping and the pump at the same height as an injection part 9 or at a higher position than its part in the vicinity of the injection part of the pump is provided. In such a way, even if the intake piping is set at a higher position than the injection port, air which collects in the piping and the pump is exhausted from the air vent valve, and the pump operates surely. Also, the injection piping and the intake piping can be provided at a higher position than the formation 11 of a building, and do not penetrate the foundation or the groundwork.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a jet bath device for realizing a comfortable bath.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional jet bath device, as shown in FIG.
A jet stream containing bubbles is blown out from a jet outlet 3 having an air inlet 2 provided in the bathtub 1. Further, water or hot water is configured to enter the pump through the suction port 4, the suction portion 7 of the suction pump 5, the ejection portion 9, and the ejection port 3. Reference numeral 6 is a suction pipe that connects the suction port 4 and the suction portion 7 of the pump, and 8 is a jet pipe that connects the ejection portion of the pump and the ejection port 3. Also, if the water in the tub is discharged, the pump 5
Also, the suction port is located below the jet port 3 so that all the water in the pipe can be discharged and the pump is filled with water when the bathtub is filled with water, and the suction part 7 and the spout part of the pump are located. The position 9 is located at a height intermediate between the suction port 4 and the jet port 3 of the bath. Further, 10 is an air valve for adjusting the amount of bubbles. With this configuration, the pump operates reliably, the blood flow is improved by the stimulation of the jet flow and the bubbles, and a comfortable bath can be realized.

[0003]

However, in the conventional jet bath device, when the tab is filled with water as shown in FIG. 3, the pump 5 is completely filled with water and the air is not left in the pipe. In order to do so, the tubing must be level. Therefore, when the pump is connected in this state, the base 11 and the foundation 12 of the building are penetrated as shown in the figure, and there is a problem in the arrangement relationship with the building.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is designed so that the suction pipe is raised to a position higher than the jet port in the vicinity of the tab, and is always directed horizontally or upward toward the pump. An air vent valve for discharging air accumulated in the pipe and the pump is provided at a position near the jet portion of the pump at a height equal to or higher than the jet portion.

Further, the suction pipe and the jet pipe are raised near the tab and the height of the rise is made variable, and the suction pipe is provided with a gradient so that it is always horizontal or upward toward the pump, and the jet portion of the pump is provided. An air vent valve for discharging the air accumulated in the pipe and the pump is provided in the vicinity at the same height as or higher than the ejection portion.

[0006]

With the above structure, even if the suction pipe is set at a position higher than the jet port, the air accumulated in the pipe and the pump is discharged from the air bleeding valve, and the pump operates reliably. Therefore, the ejection pipe and the suction pipe can be positioned higher than the base of the building.

Further, by making the rising heights of the suction pipe and the jet pipe variable, the height of the pipe can be set according to the height of the base, and the pipe can be reasonably arranged.

[0008]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In FIG. 1, 1 to 11 are the same as in the conventional example. Reference numeral 12 is a rising portion of the suction pipe, which is raised to a position higher than the ejection port 3. A rising portion 13 of the ejection pipe is higher than a rising portion of the suction pipe so as to match the height of the ejection portion of the pump. 14
Is a connection portion A for connecting the suction pipe and the ejection pipe on the way, and is composed of a rubber hose and a hose band.
Reference numeral 15 is a connecting portion B for connecting the suction and ejection pipes to the pump. Reference numeral 16 denotes an air bleeding valve for bleeding air from the pump and the pipe, which is provided at the connection portion of the squirt portion 9 of the pump at the same height as or higher than the squirt portion, and has a float inside. When water enters, the float rises to close the air passage, and when air enters, the air passage is opened to discharge the air.

In the above structure, when the bathtub 1 is filled with water, the water enters the suction pipe 6 through the suction port 4. Then, although the jet port 3 is closed at the water level on the way, the air in the pump and the pipe is discharged from the air bleeding valve 16, and the pump and the pipe are filled with water. As a result, when the switch of the pump 5 is activated after filling the bathtub with water,
The pump 5 operates reliably. Since the suction pipe 6 and the jetting pipe 8 are set up near the bathtub, there is no need to pass above the base 11 and cut out the base as shown in FIG. Since the air vent valve is provided in the vicinity of the pump, the pump operates reliably regardless of the gradient of the ejection pipe.

Further, as shown in FIG.
By providing the connecting portions 16 on 2 and 13 and making them movable up and down, in addition to the effect of FIG. 1, it is possible to arbitrarily change the height of the pipes 6 and 8, and the height of the base 11 is generally There is no need to cut out the base even when the height is different.

[0011]

As described above, according to the present invention, the suction pipe is raised to a position higher than the jet outlet in the vicinity of the tab, and a gradient is provided so that the suction pipe is always directed horizontally or upward, and the jet of the pump is ejected. By installing an air vent valve that discharges the air accumulated in the piping and pump at the same height as the jetting part or higher than the jetting part in the vicinity of the jetting part, the pumping pipe and the suction pipe are set higher than the base of the building. Can be operated reliably,
It eliminates the need to cut out the foundation and foundation of the building. Since the air vent valve is provided in the vicinity of the pump, the pump operates reliably regardless of the gradient of the ejection pipe.

Further, by making the rising height of the suction pipe and the jet pipe variable, it becomes possible to set the height of the pipe in accordance with the height of the base, and the height of the base is the same as the general height. Even if it is different, there is no need to cut out the base.
