Description

Foot bath with steam guide means {Foot Bath with Steam Guide Means}

The present invention relates to a foot bath equipped with a steam guiding means, and more specifically, to a foot bath equipped with a steam guiding means that allows the steam generated in the steam generating chamber to be simply guided in the direction of the footrest without a complicated structure.

A foot bath dilates the blood vessels in the feet and legs by submerging the feet in warm water, which improves blood circulation and promotes metabolism throughout the body, helping to relieve fatigue. Foot baths are simpler than half-body baths because you do not need to take off your clothes, and can be easily performed at home, so the number of foot bath users is gradually increasing. This type of foot bath is performed by filling a basin with hot water and then soaking the feet. However, since it is difficult to continuously maintain the temperature of the hot water filled in the basin, foot bathing has recently been performed conveniently using a foot bath.

There are wet foot baths that use water and dry foot baths that do not use water. A wet foot bath consists of a container with an internal space to hold water, and a heater to continuously heat the water in the container. Additionally, a motor pump is used to circulate the water and pass it through a filter to remove foreign substances, thereby keeping the water clean at all times. For these wet foot baths, the water temperature of about 40℃ is sufficient, but there is a problem in that the temperature of the water is not controlled well, so the temperature becomes higher than necessary, which often causes the risk of burns. In addition, wet foot baths require a large amount of water, so it is very cumbersome to add and remove water, it takes a lot of time to heat the water, and it is difficult to prevent the propagation of impurities and bacteria in the container, causing unhygienic problems.

On the other hand, a dry foot bath machine is designed so that when the user sits on a chair, puts his or her feet in the sauna, and then operates the steam generator, the steam generated from the steam generator flows into the sauna and bathes the feet. It does not require a large amount of water, so the temperature of the water is adjusted separately. Since there is no need to manage the amount of water, etc., it has the advantage of allowing you to enjoy a foot bath more easily than a wet foot bath.

However, the conventional dry foot bath has a problem in that the overall structure becomes complicated because the structure for guiding the steam generated from the steam generator to the sauna is complicated. In addition, a footrest is installed inside the sauna to rest the user's feet. When the footrest is removed from the sauna for cleaning, etc., the footrest is located at the deepest bottom of the sauna, so it is easy to place the footrest in the sauna. There is a problem that is difficult to separate.
