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. In the sauna bath to be formed, the ceiling plate and the floor plate are made to be able to protrude outward and are provided so that they can be stored in the box body, and at least the ceiling plate of these is provided so that it can move forward and backward, and the outward protrusion is made by advancing. The present invention relates to a box that can be stored in the main body by ejecting it, and has a side plate of the box main body made thicker to form a recess, and a far-infrared radiant 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 bathtubs that allow full-body bathing, and neck-opening bathtubs that expose the top of the neck and allow the rest of the body to bathe. However, 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 in front of the bathing position of the bather. However, in sauna baths where the door plate is foldable and the door plate is expanded to expand the bathing area, the depth of the box itself is reduced, and not only the ceiling plate and floor plate but also the chairs can be stored. Furthermore, since the folded overlapping part of the folded door plate is not visible from the outside, if a fairly deep heat source is attached to the front end of the side plate of the box body, this heat source will protrude from the wall surface and be stored as described above. It gets in the way of things and door panels that are closed. There is also the risk of coming into contact with bathers. For this reason, it has been desired to develop a sauna bath that is as small as possible and in which the heat source is located in front of the bather so that the bather can receive the heat source from the front.

In order to satisfy the above-mentioned demands, this invention has a double door panel, a ceiling panel and a floor panel on the main body of the box. In the prefabricated sauna bath, the ceiling plate and the floor plate are stored in the box body when not in use, and the door plate is closed. To provide a sauna bath in which a far-infrared radiation heater is installed in front of a bather so as not to interfere with the storage of a door plate.

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

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a box body with an opening in a vertically long rectangular cross section, and the opening of the box body 1 has a double folded door plate 2 on both sides thereof.
2' are provided so that they can be opened and closed by hinges. These door plates 2 and 2' are door blank plates 2a and 2b of approximately the same size, which are bendably provided by hinges along opposite side edges of each seam, and door blank plates 2 of approximately the same size. By expanding the door plates 2a and 2'a outward by approximately 90 degrees, they form both side walls of the bathing room, and the door plates 2b and 2'b By expanding outward by approximately 90 degrees with respect to the door blank plates 2a and 2'a, respectively, these constitute the front wall and double door of the bathing room. Here, both side plates 1 of the box body 1
a and 1b are formed of plates that are approximately twice as thick as the door blank plate, and recesses 3 and 3' for accommodating a heat source are formed approximately in the center of the inner surfaces of these side plates 1a and 1b near the front ends;
A far infrared radiation heater 4,
4' is housed therein, and a wire mesh is stretched over the openings of these recesses 3, 3'. Note that the heater 4,
4' is provided with a rotatable reflecting plate having a semicircular cross section, and by operating this reflecting plate from the outside, the direction in which the heat rays are reflected can be varied.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, a guide track portion 5 (side plate 1
b side (not shown) is provided, and a ceiling plate 6 is provided on this guide track portion 5 so as to be movable forward and backward. Further, a floor plate 7 is provided on the inner surface of the lower plate 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 6 is advanced outward, and the floor plate 7 is rotated downward, so that the side end surfaces of the ceiling plate 6 and the floor plate 7 are A bathing room is formed by being in close contact with the door plates 2, 2'. Note that a stopper 6a is provided on the ceiling plate 6 along the front edge.

In the above, the ceiling plate 6, the floor plate 7, the door plate 2,
2' is stored as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. That is, the ceiling plate 6 and the floor plate 7 are installed so that a space can be secured for storing the door blanks 2b and 2'b when the folded door plates 2 and 2' are closed, and the upper part of the box body 1 is A box-shaped part for wiring at the front end protrudes outward by the thickness of the door blanks 2a, 2'a, and when the door plates 2, 2' are closed, the outer surfaces of these door blanks 2a, 2'a are and the front surface of the box-shaped portion are on the same plane, and the front end surface of the floor plate of the box body 1 is covered by the door plates 2, 2'. Note that the ceiling plate 7 and the box-shaped portion are in airtight contact.

8 is the operation button, 9 is the ventilation hole, 10, 10' is the window, 11, 11' is the handle for expansion, 12, 12' is the handle for entering the room, 13 is the contact part of the ceiling plate 6, floor plate 7, respectively. This is a close contact member (partially shown) such as a magnet that maintains airtightness. Also, 14 is a built-in chair, 15
are the heaters 4, 4' provided under the chair 14.
This is a similar heater.

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. 1 to the position shown in FIG. Do as shown in Figures 6 to 6. As a result, a bathing room has been created, and by operating the operation button 8, the heaters 4, 4', and 15 are turned on, and when the predetermined temperature is reached, the person taking a bath opens the door consisting of the door blanks 2b and 2'b. Go inside, then close this door and take a hot bath. At this time, far infrared radiation heater 4,
4' warms the human body from the front, promoting sweating. When the hot bath is finished, the bather opens the door, goes outside, operates the operation button 8 to turn off the heaters 4, 4', and 15, and moves the ceiling panel 6 and floor panel 7 out and upward, respectively. Then, fold the door plates 2, 2', and fold the folded door plates 2, 2'.
2' closes the opening of the box body 1 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. At this time, the heater 4,
4' is accommodated in the recesses 3, 3', and the wire mesh is housed in the side plates 1a,
Since they are on the same plane as 1b, they do not interfere with the storage of the ceiling board 6 and floor board 7.

In the above explanation, the floorboard 7 was rotatable, but
As shown in FIG. 7, a guide track portion 5' (the side plate 1b side is omitted) is provided at the lower end of the inner surface of both side plates 1a and 1b and between the floor plate of the box body 1, and the floor plate 7' can be freely advanced and retreated from this. may be provided. In this case, a height-adjusting supporting piece 7'a having a thickness equal to the thickness of the floor plate of the box body 1 projects from the front edge of the floor plate 7'.
Here, the ceiling plate 6 may be provided rotatably.

Note that the ceiling board 6 and the floor board 7' are provided to move forward and backward, but for example, the ceiling board is formed into a bag board shape with an open front end, and a sliding board is fitted to this so that it can move forward and backward. It is also possible to extend the sliding plates in double portions to form the ceiling of the bathing room, and conversely, to extend the sliding plates in double portions so that they can be stored in the box body. In this way, even if the depth of the box body is reduced, the ceiling plate and slide plate can be accommodated in the box body, and the ceiling of the bathroom can be made wider.

According to the present invention, a door plate that can be opened in both directions, a ceiling plate that can move forward and backward, and a floor plate are provided on the box body, and when in use, these can form a bathing room, and when not in use, the ceiling plate and floor plate can be stored in the box body. The door plate can be closed, but at this time a recess is formed in the front of the side plate of the box body, and the far-infrared radiant heater is placed in this so that it does not protrude, so when it is used, it can be expanded if there is a corresponding space. It forms a bathroom and is exposed to far infrared rays from the front, making it safe, while the double-door door panels can be stored unobstructed when not in use, so they do not require much storage space and look like furniture. Since it can be placed in your living room, it will not affect the aesthetics. In addition, it is convenient because it is easy to move and can be handled with just a few operations. In this way, it is possible to provide an optimal sauna bath for general households that can be easily used by anyone, anywhere, and does not get in the way of storage.
