Description

Dome sauna device {DOME SAUNA APPARATUS}

The present invention relates to a dome sauna device.

Recently, a number of simple sauna devices using far-infrared rays have been developed. The simple sauna device provides a convenience for a user to enjoy a sauna without directly visiting a multi-use facility such as a public bath or a jjimjilbang.

In addition, it can be used for the purpose of thermal treatment and fatigue recovery at home or hospital.

A representative example of such a simple sauna apparatus is a dome sauna apparatus. The dome sauna device has an arch shape so that a user can enjoy the sauna while lying in an inner space of the dome sauna device.

However, since the conventional dome sauna device has only a thermal treatment function and does not have other ancillary treatment functions, it is difficult to expect a complex treatment effect.

In addition, the dome sauna device requires high portability or mobility so that the user can move it to various places, but most of the dome sauna devices currently on the market are made of solid wood and have a heavy weight, which makes it difficult to move the device. There were also inconvenient problems.
