Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a water level adjusting method for a bath.
Specifically, it relates to a method of raising the water level in a bathtub by removing hot water from an object.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional bathtub, when the water is shallow, the water is added, and when it is deep, the water is removed to adjust the water level to a desired depth.

When the water level is adjusted by adding or removing hot water as described above, it takes time to reach the desired depth, and in the case of adding water, the water charge is required each time the water level is adjusted. Since the fuel cost is high and the hot water temperature changes, it is often necessary to correct it, and when removing hot water, there is a problem that the hot water that is boiled is wasted and wasted.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art. The object is placed in the hot water of the bathtub and the water level is raised by the amount of water removed by the object. The adjustment is made promptly and economically so as not to cause a change in hot water temperature.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A bathtub water level adjusting method according to the present invention accommodates an object for removing hot water having a certain volume at a position in the bathtub that does not hinder bathing, and causes the object to remove hot water. The problem is solved by raising the water level in the bathtub by the amount removed.

[0006]

According to the method of adjusting the water level of the bathtub according to the present invention, an object for removing hot water having a desired water level is prepared and placed, and when it is desired to deepen the hot water, the hot water is moved to a position where it does not hinder bathing in the hot water. When housed, the volume of hot water is removed and the water level in the bathtub is raised, so that there is no change in hot water temperature and it is possible to quickly deepen the hot water without incurring costs.

Further, when it is desired to make the deepened water shallower, if the removed object of the hot water contained in the hot water is taken out, the hot water that has been removed to the original state will be restored and the water level in the bathtub will be lowered, so there is no need to discard the hot water. Without it, the hot water can be made shallow quickly.

Furthermore, when the object for removing hot water is accommodated in the bathtub, the volume of the bathtub is reduced by the volume of the object, so that the amount of hot water used is reduced and the water bill and fuel bill can be saved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a water level adjusting method for a bath according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a vertical sectional side view of an embodiment in which the water level of a bathtub is adjusted by using a balloon type hot water removing object. FIG. 2 is a vertical cross-sectional rear view of an embodiment in which the water level in the bathtub is adjusted by using a hollow body for removing hot water. FIG. 3 is a vertical cross-sectional side view of an embodiment for adjusting the water level in the bathtub by using the hot water removal object to be placed on the bottom and the hot water removal object to be attached to the side wall.

The balloon type hot water excluding object 1 used in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is formed by forming a bag a from a material such as rubber which is expandable and contractible, has a non-water absorbing property and has a heat insulating property, and the bag a is filled with air. Is provided or a valve (not shown) for filling air is attached, and air is fed into the bag a from these to inflate it to a desired volume. Then, the mouth b of the bag a is attached to the weight 3 by the stopper 2 and is held at a position where it does not hinder bathing, such as above the legs in the hot water 5 of the known bathtub 4 as shown in FIG. It is possible to obtain a full hot water state in which the removed object 1 removes the hot water 5 to raise the water level in the bathtub 4 and overflows as shown in FIG.

However, the balloon-type hot water removing object 1 is very convenient because it can be folded up to have a small volume when it is not needed and can be folded, so that it does not take up much space for storage. There is a feature that various volumes can be obtained by one object 1 and the range of water level adjustment can be freely changed by adjusting the amount of water.

Further, the weight 3 has a doorway c as shown in FIG.
If you put sand, pebbles, etc. e from the doorway c in a non-water-absorbing, heat-insulating container d that is equipped with, take out only the container d and take it home, and put sand, pebbles, etc. at home, It is convenient because it is not necessary to carry the heavy weight 3 with difficulty, and when the sand or small stones e are taken out when unnecessary, the weight 3 can be easily stored.

The body 1 for removing hot water from the hollow body used in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 has a plurality of prismatic hollow bodies f formed by blow molding of a synthetic resin having a non-water absorbing property and a heat insulating property. A body f and a weight 3 in which concrete, iron or the like g (sand or pebbles e may be used) covered with a non-water-absorbing, heat-insulating coating h are connected by a connecting rod member 6 to form a bathtub as shown in FIG. It is held at a position where it does not hinder bathing, such as above the legs in the hot water 5 of 4, and the water level in the bathtub 4 is raised by the amount of the hot water 5 to be excluded by the exclusion object 1.

The above-mentioned prismatic hollow body f is divided into three parts as shown in FIG. 2, and the central one is provided with a convex portion i on the outside, and the one on both sides is provided with a concave portion j on the inside. When these convex portions i and concave portions j are fitted together, the three are integrally connected, so that the central hollow body f can omit the weight 3 as shown in the figure, and can also be separated individually to form hot water. These can be easily performed by putting in and out and storing.

The connecting member 6 for connecting the hollow body f and the weight 3 may be a rod-shaped member, but if a flexible member such as a string, a chain or a tube is used, the hollow body f can be held. It is movable and convenient, and since the hollow body f is held near the water surface together with the bag a, it can be used as a playground equipment for bathing by displaying a picture preferred by the infant or by making it in the shape preferred by the infant. It is also possible to relieve stress during bathing by making the infant love to take a bath, or by displaying a picture that comforts the mind of an adult and looking at it.

In the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the weight 3 is used as an object for holding the bag a or the hollow body f floating in water in the hot water 5, which will be described later. When the suction cup or the bathtub 4 is an enamel, etc., it can be held in the hot water 5 by the attraction force of these using a magnet. In these cases, the weight is lighter than the weight 3 and it is easy to handle. There is.

Unlike the above-described embodiment, the object 1 for removing hot water shown in FIG. 3 is to be placed on the bottom of the bathtub 1 or attached to the side wall, and has a specific gravity smaller than that of water and has a heat insulating property. Excellent foam synthetic resin core k, concrete, iron g (sand,
The pebbles e may be used), which is coated with a non-water-absorbing, heat-insulating coating h, and placed on the bottom of the bathtub 4 as shown in the figure, or the core k of the foam synthetic resin is non-water-absorbing. The one coated with the heat-insulating coating h can be adsorbed to the side wall of the bathtub 1 by the suction cup m and held on the wall surface to be used as an armrest, a backrest, or the like. Since it is used, concrete, iron g, sand or pebbles e having a structure coated with a non-water-absorbent coating h may be used.

[0019]

As described above, the method for adjusting the water level in the bathtub according to the present invention adjusts the water level by putting an object to be removed of the hot water into the hot water. There is almost no change in the temperature of the hot water, there is no need for water and fuel charges, and if you remove the hot water removal object from the hot water, the water level in the bathtub will drop, and you will not waste the boiled water wastefully. Further, if the volume of the bath is reduced by attaching the exclusion object, the amount of hot water used can be reduced, and the water and fuel costs can be saved, which is an excellent effect.
