DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bath (3) comprising hot water (1) and a container (2), and pumping water from a pipe (4), a bellows hose (5) and a bellows pump (6). A pump (7) is attached to the bath (3) so that it circulates from the inner surface (8) to the outer surface (9), and a valve (10) is attached to the lower part of the bellows pump (6). The hot water (1) in the inside is taken out arbitrarily by using the head of natural water, so that it can be used, so that the hand with the detergent or the like and the basin (17) need not be put in the bathtub (3). The present invention relates to provision of a manual pump for a bathtub.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when it is necessary to draw out hot water required from a bathtub, a permanent washbasin is used to hold the washbasin with one hand, put it into the bathtub, and scoop up the internal hot water. As a result, detergents and the like adhering to hands, wash basins and the like entered the bath tub, and the hot water in the bath tub, which should be beautiful, was contaminated.

[0003] In addition, when rinsing towels or the like, or washing off the detergent or the like attached to the hands, or when putting hot water in the bathtub on the body, the hot water is pumped out of the bathtub each time. As the number of times of the pumping operation increases, the hot water in the bathtub is unexpectedly contaminated with the detergent or the like adhering to the hands, wash basins and the like as described above.

[0004] Further, when trying to wash away the detergent or the like adhering to the basin itself, the basin cannot be washed in the bathtub.
Open the faucet and sprinkle water on the basin, or use the separately prepared basin water to rinse the basin and clean the inside of the bathtub. It was inconvenient and time-consuming to keep it.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to eliminate the inconvenience pointed out in the prior art and to eliminate the operation of pumping hot water out of the bathtub, the operation of pumping out the hot water in the bathtub makes it possible to remove the hot water from the bathtub. Can be prevented from being contaminated by detergents attached to hands, wash basins, etc., and furthermore, when using hot water in the bathtub, tap the hot water in the bathtub by simply operating the valve of the manual tap water. It was invented in order to make it possible to take out the hot water in the bathtub and use it in a washbasin or the like as if using a basin.

[0006]

According to the present invention, there is provided a water bath comprising a pipe (4), a bellows hose (5) and a bellows pump (6) in a bath (3) comprising hot water (1) and a container (2). A pump (10) is attached to the lower part of the bellows pump (6) by circling the pump from the inner surface (8) of the bathtub (3) to the outer surface (9) with a suction cup (7).
The water (1) in the bathtub (3) can be taken out and used arbitrarily using the head of natural water.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A manual pump for a bath tub according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. The shape and mechanism of a bath tub (3) comprising hot water (1) and a container (2) are described below. Is the same as the prior art, but when the hot water (1) stored in the bathtub (3) is to be taken out and used, the basin (17) is not required to be put in the bathtub (3). A device for allowing the hot water (1) in the bathtub (3) to enter the basin (17) using the natural water head with the basin (17) on the surface (11). is there.

[0008] The function itself of the pump for pumping water consisting of the pipe (4), the bellows hose (5) and the bellows pump (6) is the same as that of the prior art, but is attached to the bellows pump (6). Of the bath (3) with at least two suction cups (7)
To the outer surface (9) via the edge surface (12), and the inlet side of the hot water (1) of the pipe (4) is located in the bathtub (3) and the depth is outside floor. This is equivalent to the surface (11).

Further, the pipe (4) in the bellows pump (6) can be discharged from the inner surface (8) of the bathtub (3) via the edge surface (12) so as to be discharged while changing the flowing direction of the hot water (1). The pipe is bent in an inverted U-shape so as to orbit toward (9), and the shape of the pipe (4) of the inverted U-shape is resistant to the action of freely bending or returning and the thickness of the edge surface In order to cope with the diversification of pipes, bellows hoses (for the purpose of facilitating installation and storage operations, withstanding repeated stress, and preventing the inner diameter from changing even when the pipe (4) is bent). 5) is used.

The mechanism of the bellows pump (6) is the same as that of the prior art, but when removing hot water (1) from the bathtub (3),
Installation direction of bellows pump (6) is valve (10)
To open the internal valve A when the bellows pump (6) is pinched.
(13) is closed, and conversely, the interior valve B (14) is installed in the opening direction. The bellows pump (6) is inserted into the bellows pump (6) via the hose (5).

Until the desired hot water (1) enters the bellows pump (6), the efficiency of the hot water (1) drops slightly due to the backflow of air, but once the hot water (1) passes through the interior valve A (13). The efficiency of pumping out hot water (1) will be greatly increased, and subsequently, natural water will be discharged after the water level (15) in the pipe (4) falls below the water level (15) in the bathtub (3). The hot water (1) in the bathtub (3) continues to flow out without operating the bellows pump (6) due to the action based on the head drop.

Therefore, after the above-mentioned operation, until the target operation is completed and the valve (10) is closed, or until the water level (15) in the bathtub (3) drops and reaches the water level at the outlet of the pipe (4). Since the hot water in the bathtub (3) continues to flow out of the bathtub (3), the valve (10) is closed when the desired amount of hot water (1) is secured, such as to be put in the basin (17). When the operation is performed, the outflow of the hot water (1) from the bathtub (3) is stopped, and then the valve (10) is released again, so that the bellows pump (6) performed at the initial stage of the installation of the device is not required. Also, the outflow of hot water (1) from the bathtub (3) can be resumed, and the device of the present invention can be used with the same feeling by operating a water tap.

[0013] Subsequently, as the water level (15) in the bathtub (3) decreases, the mechanism related to drainage is to correct the water pressure drop at the outlet of the pipe (4) and the water level (15) in the bathtub (3). As a result, the pressure at which the hot water (1) is discharged gradually decreases, and when the outlet of the pipe (4) and the water level (15) in the bathtub (3) coincide with each other, the flowing water from the bathtub (3) starts. Is stopped, but if the bathtub (3) is further refilled with fresh hot water (1) or water, the apparatus of the present invention can be used again.

In the apparatus of the present invention, the speed at which hot water (1) can be taken out of the bathtub (3) depends on the water level (15) in the bathtub (3).
This is largely due to the head of natural water generated by the pipe, but the pipe (4) and bellows hose (5)
In addition, the inner diameter of the line of the bellows pump (6) and the like is also a large factor, and when it is desired to proceed quickly, it is preferable to increase the head of water and increase the inner diameter of each line. Element.

The device of the present invention is compact because it does not require power, and can be put into the bathtub (3) with the device attached, and the air introducing valve (16) can be used when the manual pump is stored. After releasing and draining the device,
It is possible to store it by hanging it on the wall of the bathroom, etc., and it is only necessary to operate the bellows pump (6) once at the beginning of the installation of this device, and thereafter, only by operating the valve (10). Hot water (1) can be taken out of the bathtub (3) by the natural water drop.

Usually, the bathtub (3) is deeply buried below the floor (11), but the capacity of the hot water (1) that can be taken out of the bathtub (3) by the apparatus of the present invention is as follows. It depends on the distance from the floor (11) to the top water level (15) in the bathtub (3) and the plane area of the bathtub (3). Despite this, hot water of about 100 liters to about 200 liters is considered to be usable, and the use of the present apparatus is within the intended use range and is sufficiently satisfactory.

In the manual pump of the present invention, the valve (10) is installed at a position below the bellows pump (6) and close to the outlet of the pipe (4) so that the valve (10) is well drained when the valve (10) is closed. Next, when the valve (10) is opened, the hot water starts flowing well. However, when the hot water (1) is taken out from the bathtub (3) and used, if the object of the present invention can be achieved, the mounting position of the valve (10) is changed. Without limitation, the device is located directly below an efficient bellows pump (6).

In the apparatus of the present invention, the function of the combination of the pipe (4) and the bellows hose (5) is used for the pipe (4), but the function of this combination is not used and the entire pipe is integrated. It is free to use a structure consisting only of (4) or, conversely, to make the entire pipe (4) a bellows hose (5), but at least provide a bellows pump (6) and a valve (10) on the line. It is mounted with two suction cups (7) so that the function of the present invention can be performed.

[0019]

By using the apparatus of the present invention, a hand or a basin or the like to which detergent has adhered can be put into a bathtub to prevent the inside of the bathtub from becoming dirty and unclean. Because it can be made compact because it is not used, it is possible not only to enter the bath tub with this device attached, but also to people who enter the bath after installing the device permanently except when closing the bath tub It can be used continuously, and it is possible to operate the air introduction valve to drain the water in the manual pump and store it on the wall of the bathroom.

When using the present apparatus, it is possible to take out the hot water in the bathtub with the same feeling by operating the water tap by simply operating the valve as needed, as needed, and use the bathtub. It is possible not only to take out hot water from the bathtub until the water level in the pipe reaches the position of the outlet of the pipe and use it, but it is also possible to wash away the basin itself contaminated with detergent etc. Not only can it be used effectively when washing a small amount.
