Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a sauna which can easily be carried and transported, readily used at any place and easily stored by providing the sauna with engaging members which can be locked with each other on end parts of a plate member which can keep a cylindrical form at the time of use and has a heating means in the inside thereof. CONSTITUTION:A plate member 2 where a heating means is stored is kept cylindrical at the time of use and formed by a material having flexibility, so that the plate can be made platy or rolled into a small size. When engaging parts 4 and engaging parts 5 are made opposite to each other and locked with each other, a cylindrical sauna 1 is formed, and a cover 8 is removably engaged with the upper end part of a fitting member 2 by a fastener 9. The engaging parts 4, 5 are released, a user enters the inside of the cylindrical sauna 1, and the user sits therein, with the head held out from a notch of the cover 8. The engaging parts 4, 5 are closed, the fastener 9 is zipped up, and an electric current is applied to an electric heater installed on the plate member 2 as a heating means to be used as a sauna.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sauna which warms a human body for maintaining health and treating illness, and more particularly to a sauna which can be moved or carried.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a sauna bath used for maintaining health and treating illness, it is known that hot air produced by a heating means is sent to a heat-insulated small chamber.

However, such a sauna bath requires a large-scale facility as is known from the fact that it is installed in a bathhouse, etc., and is a fixed facility, so that the person who intends to use it will install the facility. It is necessary to go to a special place and use it, it is not easy to use regardless of age or sex, and it requires a large amount of money and place to install it at home etc. .

An object of the present invention is to solve the above problems and to obtain a sauna which is easy to carry and carry, can be easily used anywhere, and can be easily stored.

[0005]

Means for achieving the above object is, as described in the claims, a plate-like shape capable of maintaining a cylindrical shape at least during use and having a heating means provided therein. A portable sauna having a member and an engaging member that can be locked to each other at the end of the plate member.

[0006]

With the above structure, when using, the engaging portion at the end of the plate member is locked to form a cylindrical shape, and the inside of the cylindrical shape is heated by the heating means so that the user can use it as a sauna. , Can be used immediately regardless of location. When not in use, the plate-shaped member can be unfolded or rolled into a compact shape for easy movement and transportation, and it does not take up much space for storage.

1 to 3 are views showing an embodiment of a portable sauna according to the basic structure of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the portable sauna 1, and FIG. FIG. 3 is a front view of the plate-shaped member 2 in the unfolded state, and FIG. 3 is the same portable sauna 1
FIG. 3 is a partial cross-sectional view illustrating a heating unit (heater) of FIG.

1 to 3, reference numeral 2 is a plate-like member having a built-in heating section. As shown in FIG. 1, the plate-shaped member 2 accommodating the heating means has a cylindrical shape in a used state, but as will be shown later, it is made of a flexible material, and thus may be formed into a flat plate. Also, since it can be rolled up into a small size, it is convenient because it does not take up much space for storage. 1 and 2, reference numerals 4 and 4 denote engaging portions provided at one vertical end portion of the plate-shaped member 2, and reference numerals 5 and 5 denote engagement portions provided at the other vertical end portion of the plate-shaped member 2. It is a joint unit.

As shown in FIG. 1, when the engaging portions 4 and 4 and the engaging portions 5 and 5 are opposed to each other and locked, a cylindrical sauna 1 is formed. Reference numeral 8 denotes a cover provided on the upper portion of the plate member 2, and the cover 8 is detachably engaged with the upper end portion of the plate member 2 by a known fastener 9. In the sauna 1 configured in this way, the engaging portions 4 and 5 are opened, the user enters the inside of the cylindrical sauna 1, and the head comes out from the notch of the cover 8 so that the user can sitting,
The inside is sealed by closing the engaging portions 4 and 5 and closing the fastener 9. By energizing the heating means provided by the electric heater provided on the plate-like member 2 in this manner, it can be used as a sauna. The engaging portions of this example are magnets that are attracted to each other so that they engage with each other. However, as long as they can be engaged with each other, they are not limited to magnets, and metal fittings, velcro, etc. Any means can be adopted.

FIG. 2 is a front view in which the engaging portions 4 and 5 of the sauna 1 of the same embodiment are opened, the fastener 9 is removed, the cover 8 is removed, and the plate member 2 is developed. It can be stored in a narrow place by making it flat as shown in this figure, or by winding it in a small roll to reduce the occupied area.

FIG. 3 is a partial sectional view showing the construction of the embodiment of the plate member. The right side of FIG. 3 is the user side, and is configured to efficiently radiate far infrared rays in the right direction. Reference numeral 11 is an electric heater having a planar heating element, an aluminum vapor deposition cloth 13 for reflecting far infrared rays is provided behind the electric heater 11, and ceramics for efficiently holding and emitting far infrared rays are provided on the front surface of the electric heater 11. Face 1 being held
There is 6. Reference numeral 14 is a porous soft synthetic resin for heat retention, and 18 is a pile cloth holding the ceramic surface 16. 15 is made of suede cloth in this example,
It is configured to give flexibility to the whole.

In the sauna 1 thus obtained, far infrared rays are efficiently radiated inside by energizing the heater 11 to generate heat, and the inside is kept at a constant temperature by the temperature adjusting means (not shown). Therefore, it can be used as a low temperature sauna very easily by the user. Further, it is very convenient for storage and transportation by winding the plate member in a roll shape, folding it, or stretching it into a flat plate shape.

[0013]

According to the present invention, as described in detail in the above embodiment, the sauna, which conventionally requires a large amount of equipment, can be obtained in an extremely compact shape, and by heating the plate member, Since far infrared rays are efficiently radiated, it can be used as a low temperature sauna very easily by the user. In addition, the plate-shaped member has an advantage that it is extremely convenient for storage and transportation and can be used at any place by a method of winding it in a roll shape, folding it, or stretching it in a flat plate shape.
