Description

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

The present invention relates to a foot bath having a steam guiding means, and more particularly, to a foot bath having a steam guiding means for guiding steam generated in a steam generating chamber in a direction toward a footrest without a complicated structure.

Foot baths allow feet to be immersed in warm water to dilate blood vessels in the feet and legs to facilitate blood circulation and promote metabolism throughout the body to help recover from fatigue. Since foot baths do not require taking off clothes, they are simpler than half-body baths and can be easily performed at home, so the number of users who enjoy foot baths is gradually increasing. Such a foot bath is carried out in a state in which the feet are dipped in a basin after filling a basin with hot water. Since it is difficult to continuously maintain the temperature of the hot water filled in the basin, foot baths have recently been conveniently performed 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 is composed of a container having an inner space to contain water and a heater for continuously heating the water in the container. In addition, the water is circulated using a motor pump and passed through a filter to remove foreign substances so that the water can always be kept clean. Such a wet foot bath is sufficient if the temperature of the water is about 40 ° C., but there is a problem that the temperature of the water is not well controlled, so the temperature is higher than necessary and the risk of burns often occurs. In addition, since the wet foot bath requires a large amount of water, it is very cumbersome to add and remove water, it takes a long time to heat the water, and it is difficult to prevent the propagation of impurities and bacteria stuck in the container, which is unsanitary.

On the other hand, the dry foot bath is configured so that when the user sits on a chair, puts their feet in the steam box, and then operates the steam generator, the steam generated from the steam generator flows into the steam box to take a foot bath. Since it is not necessary to manage the amount of water, etc., it has the advantage of being able to enjoy a foot bath more conveniently than a wet foot bath.

However, the conventional dry foot bath has a problem in that the entire structure is complicated because the structure for guiding the steam generated from the steam generator to the hot tub is complicated. In addition, a footrest is installed inside the steamer to seat the user's feet. When the footrest is separated from the steamer for washing, etc., the footrest is located at the deepest bottom of the steamer, so it is easy to remove the footrest from the steamer. There are problems that are difficult to isolate.
