Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a heater, and particularly to one for warming the entire human body.

Conventional heaters include kotatsus and stoves, but kotatsus can only warm the lower half of the body, while stoves heat the entire room, so there was a problem in that it took a long time to warm up the body.

There are also home sauna baths in which a chair of a certain size for a person to sit on is wrapped in quilted clothing supported by a frame, and an electric fan blows hot air inside the chair, but this was originally designed to warm the body. Rather, it is not suitable for use as a heater because it heats up and makes you sweat, which improves your health.Furthermore, since the chair inside the quilted clothing is not an easy chair, it does not provide sufficient relaxation, making it free and comfortable. It was difficult to maintain a comfortable posture, and the noise of the motor caused problems in terms of comfort and convenience when used as a heater.

The present invention aims to provide a heater that solves these problems.

The present invention will be explained below based on the illustrated embodiment.

The heater of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, consists of a heater l and a heating garment 2 connected to the heater at its lower end.

The heater 1 has a box-like body with an open front as shown in FIG. A reflector plate 7 is provided inside thereof so as to face the base plate 3 and each plate 4.5; 6, and each plate 4.5.6 and the corresponding reflector plate 7.
A heat insulating plate 8 made of, for example, aluminum foil or a heat-resistant material is provided between the two. A heater 9 is provided inside this box-like body at a position that is biased towards the base plate 3. The heater 9 can be, for example, an infrared lamp, a nichrome wire, a quartz tube heater, etc., and its power consumption is 300 to 400 yen.
A material of about W can be used. In addition, 10 is a thermostat for keeping the temperature inside the box-shaped body constant, and 11 is a ventilation hole bored in the rear plate 6, which is for lowering the surface temperature of the boxes Z and a.

As shown in FIG. 4, a protective frame 12 made of a poor heat conductor such as wood or plastic is provided on the front surface of this box-like body. This is a structure in which a plurality of crosspieces 121) are provided between the wood 12a on both sides, which has a height slightly longer than that of the box-like body, and is designed to prevent the user from getting burned. be. Note that a net may be provided in place of the crosspiece 12b. At the upper end of the protective frame 12, a shelf 13 for lifting the front hem of the heating garment 2 is provided which projects further forward from the front side of the box-like body.

This is to prevent the front hem from sagging when the heating garment 2 is attached to the heater 1 as shown in FIG. If this lifting shelf 13 is made of a poor heat conductor such as wood or plastic, and has a box-like body that protrudes forward, it may have a lattice shape as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. It may be plate-shaped, and various shapes such as rectangular, trapezoidal, semicircular, etc. can be used.

As shown in Fig. 5, the heating garment 2 has a one-piece shape having a length sufficiently longer than the length below the user's head and a width that is longer than the width of the user. It is made of a heat-retaining material such as quilting, has an incision from the neck to the lower abdomen, and has a button or zipper attached to make it easy to wear. Although this heating garment 2 is shown without sleeves, sleeves may be provided.

An opening 14a is formed at the lower front end of the heating garment 2 so as to correspond to the front shape of the heater 1, and an edge 14b made of another fabric is attached to the edge of the opening 14a. This edge 14b
As shown in FIG. 6, projecting pieces 15 are provided at the lower ends of both sides of the heating garment 2 so as to point toward the inside of the heating garment 2. This protruding piece 15 engages with an engaging tool 16 provided at the lower end of the side plate 4 of the heater 1 at a position biased towards the front side. Like this, protrusion 1
By engaging 5 with the engaging tool 16, the heating garment 2 can be attached to the heater 1 as shown in FIG.

I will explain how to use the heater configured in this way. First, the user puts on the heating garment 1 as shown in FIG. Next, as shown in FIG. 1, the user sits on the easy chair 17, inserts the front side of the heater 1 into the heating clothing 1 along the edge 14b of the heating clothing 1, and inserts the protruding piece as shown in FIG. 15 is engaged with the engaging tool 16 to connect the heating garment 2 and the heater 1. Then, the heater 9 is energized. As a result, the air warmed by the heater 9 convects the space inside the heating garment 1 closed by the heater 1 from the foot side toward the arm side, thereby warming the user's entire body.

In this heater, the length of the heating garment 2 is made sufficiently longer than the length below the user's neck, so that the heater 1 can be used in the position shown in FIG. 6 with the knees up. Since it can be pushed forward to take a comfortable posture, it does not cause fatigue even when used for a long time, and the back hem 2a of the heating garment 2 can be placed under the feet to improve heat retention. At this time, heating clothes 2
A lifting shelf 13 is provided on the heater 1 to prevent the front hem 2b from sagging. In addition, since the width of the heating garment 2 is made sufficiently longer than the width of the user, a sufficient gap is created between the user's body and the heating garment 2, so the heater can be heated through the gap. The air warmed in step 1 can easily conduct heat convection, which makes it easier to warm your entire body, and you can feel more relaxed because the air is not in close contact with your body. The chest and abdomen are tightly attached to the body due to the weight of the heating garment 1, making it difficult for gaps to form. However, in some cases, protrusions are provided on the inner surface of the heating garment in areas corresponding to the chest and abdomen. A gap may be created between the body and the body. Also, if you want your hands to get cold,
Unbutton the heating garment 2, put your hand inside the heating garment 2, and turn on the heater 1.
Just put it in front of the. Furthermore, the heater can be easily moved by removing the projecting piece 15 from the engagement tool 16.
