Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to an expandable home sauna bath, in which a double door plate is attached to the main body of the box, the door plate is expanded, and the expanded door plate is used to expand the bathing area. The present invention relates to a sauna bath in which a door plate has a large dimension in the thickness direction, a recess is formed in the door plate, and a far-infrared radiation heater can be housed in the recess.

Since sauna baths are effective for promoting health and beauty, various attempts have been made to use them at home. These baths are commercially available, including box-type baths that allow you to bathe your whole body, and neck-opening baths that expose the rest of your body from the neck up. but,
The former is a fixed type with a floor area of ^1m2 , and many homes do not have the extra space to install it, so it lacks versatility. In addition, the latter method does not allow sweat to flow from the face, making it difficult to enjoy the refreshing feeling after taking a bath, and also has the drawbacks of being seen by others, and the fact that the surrounding area is covered with cloth, giving a cheap feeling. For these reasons, it can be stored when not in use in a space that is easily available in a typical household, such as a space with a depth of 1.5 cm and an appropriate width, and can be moved and expanded as needed when in use. For example, there was a desire to develop a home sauna bath that could create a bathing room twice the size, be airtight, and be easily used by women. In this case, it is preferable to place the heat source also in front of the bathing position of the bather. However, in sauna baths where one side of the door plate is foldable and can be stored in the box body in the folded state, if the heat source is attached to the door plate, the heat source may be several centimeters deep. Since it protrudes from the surface, if it is attached to the folding surface, the door plate cannot be folded, and the appearance of the stored state becomes poor.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has been developed by increasing the dimension of the door plate in the thickness direction, thereby forming a recess on its inner surface, and making it possible to accommodate a far-infrared radiant heater in this recess. It provides an expandable home sauna bath.

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be explained based on FIGS. 1 to 6.

In the figure, 1 is a vertically rectangular box body with an open front, and the opening of the box body 1 has a door plate 2 in a folded double-opening state on both sides of the opening.
2' are provided so that they can be opened and closed by hinges. These door plates 2, 2' are door blanks 2a and 2b of approximately the same size, which can be bent freely by hinges along the opposing side edges of each seam, door blanks 2'a, of approximately the same size, 2'b, and by expanding the door blanks 2a and 2'a outward by approximately 90 degrees, they form both side walls of the bathroom, and furthermore, the door blanks 2b and 2'b are expanded outward by approximately 90 degrees. By expanding outward by approximately 90 degrees with respect to the blank plates 2a and 2'a, these constitute the front wall and double door of the bathing room. Here, the door blank 2a is replaced by other door blanks 2b, 2'a,
2'b, a heat source housing recess 3 is formed on the side of the door blank 2b, a far-infrared radiant heater 4 is housed here, and a wire mesh is stretched over the opening of this recess 3. has been done. Note that the heater 4 is provided with a rotatable reflection plate having a semicircular cross section (not shown).

A ceiling plate 5 is attached to the inner surface of the upper side of the box body 1 by a hinge so as to be movable up and down, and a floor plate 6 is provided on the inner surface of the lower side of the box body 1 so as to be movable up and down. Then, with the door plates 2 and 2' expanded as described above, the ceiling plate 5 is rotated upward and the floor plate 6 is rotated downward, so that the side end surfaces of these are in close contact with the door plates 2 and 2', thereby allowing bathing. The room is configured. Note that when the ceiling plate 5 is rotated upward, it is locked by locking tools 5a and 5b (only one shown) provided on the inner surface of the upper part of the door blank plates 2a and 2'a, and the ceiling plate 5 is prevented from rotating downward by its own weight. It is prevented from moving, but by applying an external force, the block is released and it is rotated.

In the above, the ceiling plate 5, the floor plate 6, the door plate 2,
2' is stored as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. That is, when the folded door plates 2 and 2' are closed, the ceiling plate 5 and the floor plate 6 are half the thickness of the door base plate 2a, the door base plate 2b, the door base plate 2'b, and the above-mentioned door. It is installed so that a space corresponding to the blank plate 2'b can be secured, and the box-shaped part at the front end of the upper part of the box body 1 is attached by an amount corresponding to half the thickness of the door blank plate 2a, that is, an area corresponding to the thickness of the door blank plate 2'a. When the door plates 2, 2' are closed, the outer surfaces of the door blanks 2a, 2'a are flush with the front surface of the box-shaped part, and the door plates cover the front end surface of the floor plate 6. It's getting old.

7 is the operation button, 8 is the ventilation hole, 9, 9' is the window,
10, 10' are handles for expansion, 11, 11' are handles for entering the room, and 12, 12', 12'' are adhesive members such as magnets that keep the contact areas with the ceiling plate 5 and floor plate 6 airtight (some are not shown). ).Furthermore, 13 is a chair built into the box body, and 14 is a heater similar to the above-mentioned heater 4 provided below this chair 13.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

A person who wants to take a bath opens the door panels 2 and 2' from the state shown in FIG. Make it. As a result, a bathing room has been created, and when the heaters 4 and 14 are turned on by operating the operation button 7 to reach a predetermined temperature, the bather can use the door blanks 2b and 2'.
Open the door consisting of b and go inside, then close this door and take a hot bath. At this time, since the human body is warmed from the front by the heater 4, sweating is promoted.
When the hot bath is finished, the bather opens the door and goes outside, turns off the heaters 4 and 14 using the operation button 7, and after a while of cooling time, moves the ceiling board 5 and floor board 6 downward and upward, respectively. Then, the door plates 2, 2' are rotated, and the folded door plates 2, 2' are closed as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. At this time, since the heater 4 is housed in the recess 3 and does not protrude from the plate surface, the contact surfaces of the door blanks 2a and 2b are in close contact with each other.

In the above embodiments, the door blank plate 2a is thickened in FIGS. 1 to 6, but the door blank plate 2'a may be similarly thickened and a recessed portion may be provided to accommodate the far-infrared radiation heater. Furthermore, either or both of the door blank plates 2b and 2'b may be made thicker and a recessed portion may be provided therein to house the heater. Also,
The door plate 2 is made of only one door blank plate 2a, and the door plate 2' is made of door blanks 2'a and 2'b, and a similar door plate is placed on the tip side of the door blank 2'b. It is attached so that it can be folded and is folded into three pieces.The door plate 2 and the door blank 2'a constitute the side wall of the bathroom, and the door blank 2'b and other door blanks constitute the front wall of the bathroom. Either the door plate 2, the door blanks 2'a, 2'b, or other door blanks may be thickened to form the recessed portions therein. Furthermore, if a planar heating element is used instead of the heater, the heat source will not interfere with the folding of the door plate even if the heat source is attached to the folding contact surface of the door plate without forming the recess.

According to the present invention, the dimension in the thickness direction of the door plate is increased, thereby forming a recess that can accommodate the far-infrared radiant heater.If the far-infrared radiant heater is accommodated in this recess, the door plate can be folded freely. Even if formed, the far-infrared radiant heater will not get in the way. Therefore, when in use, by expanding the door plate to form an expanded bathing area, heat rays can be irradiated from the front, warming the front of the human body and causing rapid sweating. By folding and closing the box body like a box, the appearance can be made to look like furniture, for example. Moreover, since it is compact, it is easy to store and carry, and when in use, the door plate can be expanded to create a large bathroom, and if there is an appropriate amount of space, it can be used even in a narrow space. Moreover, it is convenient because only a few operations are required to handle it during use and storage. In this way, it is possible to provide an optimal sauna bath that can be easily used by anyone, anywhere, and is highly useful for general households without being a hindrance to storage.
