Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable to warm in a wide range up to the waist of a man sitting on a chair by a constitution wherein warm air flow caused by a warm air flowing device in an electric foot-warmer is introduced to the seat section of the chair in the heater in which the table-like electric foot-warmer and the movable chair are utilized. CONSTITUTION:In the heater, in which the chair 3 is movably provided with respect to the table-like electric foot-warmer consisting of a wooden frame 4 provided with the warm air flowing device 5 accommodating a fan and a heater at the lower surface of a table plate on the top of the wooden frame and a quilt covering the whole of the wooden frame so as to keep an enough space, the chair 3 is consisting of a back 9 and the seat 10. Legs 6 are provided at the lower surface of the seat 10 so as to form a leg space between the seat 10 and a floor surface 13. A plurality of lattice holes 12, penetrating the upper and lower surface of the seat 10, are formed in the seat 10. According to this constitution, a part of the warm air flow generated by the warm air flowing device 5 may be introduced into the leg space 7 from an inlet opening 8 in order to warm the waist of the user by emitting it out of the lattice holes 12.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a heater that efficiently heats not only the legs but also the waist of a user sitting on a chair over a wide area.

Conventional electric kotatsu heaters provide good heating for the upper part of the lower body, but since the user cannot sit directly on the floor, they cannot heat the back of the lower body or even the lower back, which has the disadvantage of making you feel cold while using the heater. there were. Also, something like a seat chair was sometimes used, but it had the same drawbacks.

The present invention has been made to eliminate the above drawbacks.

The chair defines a leg space between the legs and the seat.

When a part of the seat of the movable chair is located inside the tower, the leg portion facing the tower space has an entrance opening, and! 1
By providing communication between the chair space and the tower space, and transmitting the heat from the hot air device inside the tower to the seat of the chair,
To provide a structure that quickly transmits warm air inside a tower using a fan and collects heat not only from the back of the lower body but also from the waist over a wide area, thereby increasing the feeling of warmth.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The structure of the embodiment is as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 3, and 4, and 1 is an upper plate that can be used as a table. 2 is a futon made of a flexible material such as a commercially available cotton futon. 4 is a tower with legs at the four corners. Reference numeral 5 denotes a hot air device installed on the underside of the tower 4, which incorporates a fan 13 and a heater 14 as shown in FIG. Futon 2 surrounds the kotatsu tower 4
It is formed by covering the upper plate 1 and placing the upper plate 1 on top of it. Reference numeral 11 indicates the inside of the tower space, which is formed by surrounding the tower 4 with the futon 2 as described above. Reference numeral 3 designates a chair as shown in FIG. 3, which is composed of a backrest 9 and a seat 10, and is made of wood, plastic, etc. and is movable.

Reference numeral 6 indicates a leg portion attached to the lower surface of the seat portion 10. Reference numeral 7 denotes a leg space formed into a box shape between the seat 10 and the floor 13 by the legs 6. Numeral 12 is a lattice hole that passes through the upper and lower surfaces of the seat 10, that is, allows the upper surface of the seat 10 and the leg space 7 to communicate with each other. It consists of the above. Chair 3 is the first
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 2, a part of the seat 10 is located inside the tower 4. Reference numeral 8 denotes an entrance opening, which is provided on the leg section 6 facing the tower space 11 in the above state, and allows the two leg section spaces 7 and the tower space 11 to communicate with each other. The legs 6 of the tower 4 are made long enough to allow the chair 3 to be used.

The operation of this embodiment will be explained below. The user of this heater lifts a part of the futon 2, puts his/her legs inside the tower 4, sits on a chair 3, and places the lifted futon 2 over his/her lap to prevent the heat inside the tower 4 from escaping. Use the futon 2 in close contact with your lap or chair 3. Warm air f1 in the tower 4
The warm air heated by the fan 13 and the heater 14 of No. 5 circulates within the tower 4, causing convection of the air within the tower 4 and warming the tower space 11. On the other hand, since the leg space 7 of the chair 3 is used with its entrance opening 8 located within the tower space 11, the leg space 7 and the tower space 11 are connected using air as a medium.

Therefore, the warmed air in the tower space 11 also flows into the leg space 7, warming the nine leg spaces 7. Users can warm their legs in Yagura Space 9.

This is because the seat 10 of the chair 3 has a grid hole 12.

Warm air from the leg space 7 flows out from here as well, warming the lower back of the user sitting on it. In this way, the waist of the chair 3 is warmed.The heat of the heater 5 in the tower 4 is thus transferred to the seat 10 of the chair 3.

The lattice holes 12 of the seat 10 of the chair 30 do not have to be fine lattice holes; they can be of any hole shape, or the seat 10 itself, not the holes, may be made of a material with good thermal conductivity, such as an iron plate covered with fabric on the front. Even if the heat inside the tower 4 is made of metal plates such as
It can warm the body and transfer heat to the user's lower back. In short,
Any configuration may be used as long as it has a means for warming the warm air in the tower space 11 through the leg space 6 of the chair 3 to the user's lower body waist. When the chair 3 is lifted up, there is an opening on the bottom side of the legs, but in actual use, this bottom side is blocked by the floor, so the only opening of the leg space 7 is the entrance opening 8, which is on the bottom side. The hot air leaks outside. Of course, it is also possible to attach a bottom plate to the bottom side and make the leg space 7 with only the entrance opening 8.
Apart from this, a space connected to the inside of the tower 4 may be formed.

As described above, according to the present invention, the chair forms a leg space between the legs and the seat, and when a part of the seat of the movable leg chair is located in the tower space I.

The leg space facing the chair has an entrance opening so that the leg space communicates with the tower space. It has the effect of quickly transmitting warm air with a fan and increasing the feeling of warmth by collecting heat not only from the lower body but also from the lumbar region.The user can lean his back against Hayashi's backrest and throw his lower body into the tower to warm himself comfortably. There are advantages.
