Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) This invention relates to a heating device, and more particularly to a heating device for warming the feet of a human body.

(Prior art and its problems) A kotatsu has been known as this type of heating device. However, it is common to sit on the floor and put your feet inside the kotatsu to keep yourself warm.
However, conventional kotatsu kotatsu have the disadvantage that they are not suitable for long-term use because the sitting position is so cramped that it is physically painful to stay in the same position for a long time.

As a solution to these drawbacks, there is a kotatsu that has a step downwards from the floor surface and allows you to sit on the floor as if you were sitting on a chair. However, with this kotatsu, the heat source is placed at a fixed location, so the kotatsu itself cannot be moved to a desired location, which is inconvenient.

Therefore, this idea was made in view of the above circumstances,
To provide a heating device capable of warming feet in a comfortable posture.
