Preferably, the air passage 120 between the lining 102 and the outer shell 104 may be spirally formed so as to evenly transfer heat by extending the flow length of the heated air and delaying time of contact with the human body. .

The heated air is supplied from the foot portion, which is the lower end of the tubular pants, and is preferably discharged from the waist portion, which is the upper end of the tubular pants. This is because hot air has a property of rising upward, and filling the air from the lower end of the tubular pants enables uniform supply of air to the whole pants. In FIG. 1, the inlet 122 into which the heated air enters is illustrated as being formed at both feet of the tubular pants. However, in order to supply more uniform air, a plurality of inlets 122 may be installed at both feet, the knee, and the waist. Of course. Reference numeral 124 denotes an outlet through which air in the tubular pants is discharged.

One side of the tubular pants 100 is provided with an air discharge cap 130. Preferably, the cap 130 is for allowing the user to manually adjust the pressure of the air supplied into the pants to suit them. That is, when the pressure in the pants automatically set is too high, it can be appropriately adjusted by opening the cap 130.

The tubular pants 100 formed as described above can be folded and stored in a state where internal air is removed when not in use. Preferably, the storage is provided with a storage space 202 in the operating unit 200, can be stored with the conduit 150, the tubular pants 100 are separated. In addition, the tubular pants 100 can be easily washed and dried by rinsing in water before or after use. To this end, a drainage groove (not shown) is formed on the bottom surface of the tubular pants 100 so that washing water or sweat can be discharged.

The conduit 150 is an air connection passage between the tubular pants 100 and the operation unit 200 and includes a supply conduit 152 and an exhaust conduit 154.

First, the air supply unit 210 warms the air sucked from the outside through the suction port 212 provided in the operation unit 200 with a heating means 214, for example, a heater coil, a thermoelectric element, a Peltier element, and a supply duct ( Through 204 to the tubular pants 100. To this end, a blower fan 219 is provided in the air flow passage in the supply duct 204.

On the other hand, the heating means 214 may reheat the cold air recovered through the recovery duct 206 from the tubular pants 100 to circulate back to the tubular pants 100. To this end, a switching valve v for selectively opening and closing the passage may be installed at a passage boundary between the recovery duct 206 and the suction port 212.

Preferably, a discharge valve (v ') for discharging the air to the outside through the outer discharge port 218 may be provided in the passage of the duct through which the air circulates.

The temperature control unit 220 functions to maintain a uniform temperature of the air supplied into the tubular pants 100. That is, for example, a sensor such as bimetal may be supplied to the end of the supply duct 204 or the recovery duct 206 of the operation unit 200 so that the air warmed by the heating means 214 maintains a temperature suitable for the half body bath. And control the on-off of the heating means 214 accordingly. In addition, a thermocouple or an electronic thermometer may be installed and the heating means may be controlled according to the measurement.

The pressure control unit 230 adjusts the air pressure supplied to the tubular pants 100. For example, a pressure gauge, a solenoid valve, or the like may be appropriately adjusted to prevent the pants from bursting or tearing due to high pressure. Preferably, the user can adjust the body pressure of the desired degree using the pressure control unit 230, and further can be finely adjusted through the cap 130 provided in the tubular pants 100 as described above. . This configuration is already well known, so detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The operation panel 240 is provided with a status display window 242 such as an LCD panel to visually grasp the operation and operation of the apparatus according to the present invention. For example, the above-described air supply / discharge, temperature, and pressure control can be grasped and adjusted in real time.

In addition, the wheel 250 is attached to the lower portion of the operation unit 200, it is possible to conveniently enjoy the half body bath anywhere while moving the device.

Then, the operation of the pants-type half-bath device of the present invention configured as described above will be described.

First, the user wears the tubular pants 100 of the present invention. In this case, the tubular pants 100 are worn in the same state as the normal pants without the air, or the pressure of the user's body is not a state of about medium air having some degree of only the appearance of the tubular pants 100 completely. Can be worn after infusion.

After wearing the pants, the user sets the air pressure to the appropriate body pressure using the pressure control unit 230, and sets the temperature suitable for half body bath using the temperature control unit 220. This setting is performed while looking at the status display window 242 of the operation panel unit 240.

For example, by setting the temperature and the pressure degree in advance so as to be set at the same time, only by pressing the start button (not shown), the heated air can be introduced into the pants at an appropriate pressure.

Initially the valve v is kept open with the inlet 212 open. Thus, the air introduced from the inlet 212 by the operation of the blower fan 219 is heated by the heating means 214 and then supplied to the tubular pants 100 along the supply duct 204.

The heated air is supplied to the entire tubular pants 100 along the air passage 120 formed spirally from the bottom of the tubular pants 100.

When the air passage 120 in the tubular pants 100 reaches a predetermined predetermined air pressure while being filled with heated air, the valve v is operated so that the inlet 212 is closed while the passage of the recovery duct 206 is closed. Becomes an open state.

Accordingly, the air cooled while flowing through the air passage in the tubular pants 100 is introduced into the recovery duct 206 through the discharge conduit 154, and the air introduced into the recovery duct 206 is heated by the heating means 214. Reheated while passing through the supply duct (204). Here, the operation of the valve (v) may be made manually by the user, but it is preferable to operate automatically according to a predetermined time, temperature or pressure.

On the other hand, the air filled in the pants can be extracted by using the cap 130, or can be quickly discharged to the external outlet 218 using the blowing member 219.

In addition, although not described above, the half-bath apparatus of the present invention may be further provided with a timer, an image prevention device, etc. for the convenience of the user.

Preferably, the inlet 122 and the outlet 124 of the tubular pants 100 may be provided with sealing means for preventing the outflow of air when the conduit 152, 154 is removed, in this case tubular pants After the air passage in 100 is sufficiently warmed, the conduit can be removed to allow for free movement and activity.

On the other hand, Figure 4 shows the pants 300 according to another embodiment of the present invention. This will be described below with reference to the differences from the above-described embodiment. The pants 300 were configured to seal the lower part of the body only to the outside. Therefore, when the external or recirculated heated air is injected into the pants, the heated air is in direct contact with the wearer's body, so that the half body bath can be more efficiently enjoyed. In addition, as in the above embodiment, if a passage (not shown) in which the air flows spirally on the outer surface of the pants is formed, the length of the heated air is extended and the time for contacting the human body is delayed, thereby making the overall pants more uniform. It is possible to transfer heat.

The pants-type half-bath apparatus of the present invention is light because it is a tube-shaped tube, and can be used anywhere in the room without being restricted by a place such as a conventional bath or sauna.

In addition, since the half body bath is gradually enjoyed by the air heated to a predetermined temperature, there is no risk of burns. Furthermore, movement and activities are possible within a limited range while wearing pants.

Above all, the half body bath can be easily enjoyed, and the convenience of use such as washing or folding the pants is greatly increased.
