Description

The utility model relates to the satisfaction of a person’s vital needs, namely, bathing devices, in particular portable bathtubs, which can be used, for example, in the open air in recreational areas for relaxing water procedures and / or hygienic baths.

The prior art solution is a wooden tank with a furnace located in the lower part of the tank, a chimney, a drain hole at the bottom and seats.

DE patent for invention No. 102009034877, IPC A47K3 / 022; A47K3 / 12 published on 01/26/2012.

Common signs of the proposed solution and the known analogue are:

- a container containing the walls and the bottom;

- a drain hole is located at the bottom of the metal container.

Distinctive features of the proposed solutions are:

- the tank is made of metal;

- walls include at least three horizontal rows located at an angle to each other;

- each of the rows consists of flat trapezoidal faces, interconnected by the sides;

- the smaller base of the trapezoid is mated with the larger base of the trapezoidal face of the downstream row;

- the bottom is made flat in the shape of an equilateral polygon;

- the sides of the polygon are conjugated with the lower bases of the trapezoidal faces of the lower row;

- fasteners for mounting seats are located on the walls.

The disadvantages of this technical solution is the lack of rigidity, and, as a result, rapid wear, due to the fact that the bathing device has a circular cross-sectional shape. In addition, the tree from which the walls and the bottom are made is a fragile and short-lived material for the loads experienced during operation.

A technical solution is known, selected as a prototype, which is a bathing device containing a metal container for filling with water, inside which are placed a wooden floor and benches. The metal container has a convex bottom and is made of sectors forming a polygon in cross section. RF patent for utility model No. 115208, IPC A61H 33/00, published on April 27, 2012.

Common signs of the proposed solution and the known analogue are:

- a container containing the walls and the bottom;

- a capacity of metal.

Distinctive features of the proposed solutions are:

- walls include at least three horizontal rows located at an angle to each other;

- each of the rows consists of flat trapezoidal faces, interconnected by the sides;

- the smaller base of the trapezoid is mated with the larger base of the trapezoidal face of the downstream row;

- the bottom is made flat in the shape of an equilateral polygon;

- the sides of the polygon are conjugated with the lower bases of the trapezoidal faces of the lower row;

- fasteners on the walls for mounting the seat;

- a drain hole is located at the bottom of the metal container.

In the known technical solution according to the above patent, each sector of the font wall has a rounded shape. Such a design does not have sufficient rigidity, since it cannot sufficiently resist bending moment, especially during operation, when the container is filled with water and people are placed in it.

The technical result of the claimed technical solution is manifested in increasing the rigidity of the structure. Due to the stiffening ribs formed at the interface of the faces, the resistance to the arising load on bending and increasing the rigidity of the tank are ensured.

The technical result is achieved in that in a bathing device comprising a metal container containing walls and a bottom, according to the technical solution, the walls include at least three horizontal rows located at an angle to each other, each of the rows is made of flat trapezoidal faces conjugated between the sides, and the smaller base of the trapezoid is mated with the large base of the trapezoidal face of the row below, the bottom is made flat in the shape of an equilateral polygon, and the sides polygon conjugate bases with the lower trapezoidal faces of the lower row. On the walls of the tank from the inside, fasteners for mounting the seat can be fixed. A drain hole may be located at the bottom of the metal container.

In order to understand the claimed technical solution, the conjugation of faces should be understood as an inextricable connection of the faces with each other with the formation of a rib at the junction, performed by any method, in particular by welding or by bending from a single part.

The performance of the container of metal with high mechanical properties, such as strength, hardness, elasticity improves the rigidity of the device.

The implementation of the walls and the bottom in shape and location according to the claimed solution allows you to create a device for swimming closed in shape, similar to hemispherical, ensuring the stability of the tank relative to the axis of symmetry and evenly perceiving the load. Stiffeners formed by mating flat trapezoidal faces located at an angle to each other significantly increase the stiffness of the structure, take on part of the load, increasing the structure's resistance to bending moment, thereby preventing its deformation.

The implementation of a metal container with at least three horizontal rows, as established experimentally, makes the device sufficiently rigid due to the greater number of horizontal stiffeners formed arising at the junction of flat trapezoidal faces, the smaller base of which mates with the large base of the trapezoidal face of the downstream row. The formation of each row of the tank by mating faces with its lateral sides with the formation of vertical stiffeners also increase the rigidity of the structure. The vertical and horizontal stiffeners take on part of the load, increasing the stability of the structure to bending moment, thereby preventing its deformation.

The execution of the faces flat also increases the rigidity of the structure and forms when connecting the faces to each other rectilinear stiffeners, which increases the overall rigidity of the structure. Each of the flat faces, mating with the adjacent one, forms a straight line along which it is convenient to make a weld, taking loads and maintaining reliability and rigidity of the structure.

Since the bottom of the metal container, which accepts part of the external load, is made flat in the form of an equilateral polygon, the sides of which are conjugated with the lower bases of the trapezoidal faces of the lower row, the device is stable relative to its central axis of symmetry and its stability does not decrease with an increase in the number of horizontal rows or the number of faces in next to.

The fasteners on the walls of the tank from the inside provide a rigid connection of the seats mounted in the metal tank for convenient location in the tank of people.

The drain hole allows the outflow of water after operation of the bathing device without turning the tank over, which eliminates the risk of damage and / or deformation of its structure, and without using additional means.

In addition, the implementation of the capacity in rows at an angle to each other, provides the ability to position the human body in a comfortable semi-sitting position, which allows for water procedures in a relaxed state of the back muscles.

The design of the device for swimming is further illustrated using figures in which one of the preferred embodiments of the device is presented. Figure 1 is a schematic side view of a bathing device. Figure 2 schematically shows a longitudinal section aa of the view of figure 1. Figure 3 schematically shows a top view of a bathing device.

Next, with reference to the figures describes the design of the device for swimming. Figure 1-3 shows: 1 - capacity, 2 - bottom, 3 - drain hole, 4 - face, 5 - rib, 6 - fasteners for installing seats.

The bathing device is a container (1) made of metal having high strength, hardness, elasticity, making the structure rigid. The tank (1) contains the walls and the bottom (2). The walls are formed by at least three horizontal rows located at an angle to each other. Each of the rows is made of flat trapezoidal faces (4), conjugated to each other by the lateral sides, thus forming ribs (5). In this case, the smaller base of the trapezoidal face (4) of one row is mated with the larger base of the trapezoidal face (4) of the lower row. Pairing faces (4) can be performed, for example, both by welding and by bending from a single part. The bottom (2) is made flat in the shape of an equilateral polygon, and the sides of the polygon are conjugated with the lower bases of the trapezoidal faces (4) of the lower row. The polygon formed by the faces (4) of horizontal rows in the cross section of a metal container (1) can be in the form of a hexagon, octagon, decagon.

Capacity (1) contains a drain hole (3). The drain hole (3) is located mainly in the lower part of the tank (1), for example, on the bottom (2) or on one of the faces (4) of the lower row, which allows draining the water after operating the bathing device without turning the tank (1) , which eliminates the risk of damage / deformation of its structure, and without using additional tools. A drain pipe with a tap can be connected to the drain hole (3).

The angle formed by the outer surface of each face (4) to the plane of the earth can be acute and more than the angles formed by the outer surfaces of each face (4) of the lower rows and the plane.

The bottom (2) on the inside may contain a flooring (not shown in the figures), for example of wood, possibly located at different levels (in the form of steps).

Inside the tank (1), on its walls, seats (not shown in the figures) are installed and rigidly connected with the help of fasteners (6), which are necessary for individual or group people in the tank (1). Seats can be installed around the perimeter inside the tank (1).

The metal container (1) can be mounted on a stand (not shown in the figures), mainly metal. The support can be formed by horizontal and vertical beams, while the connected horizontal beams can form polygons, the number of sides of which corresponds to the number of sides of the polygon in the cross section of the container (1), while the lower part of the container (1) is in the space formed by horizontal and vertical beams .

The metal container (1) can also be fixed on a support of logs, for example, in the form of a tripod. In the case of mounting on a tripod, the container (1) can be suspended from the crosshairs of the tripod, for example using metal chains fixed to the container (1) using fasteners, such as eyebolts. The logs can be fixed with a flat surface with the help of metal studs.

A heat source can be installed under the container (1), for example, a stove for heating water, while the stove can have the form of a regular prism, the base of which corresponds to the shape and size of the bottom (2) of the tank (1).

A ladder with a railing can be attached to the tank (1).

The inner part of the container (1) and its board, which forms the upper part of the container (1), can be sheathed with a durable and moisture-resistant wood, mainly cedar, from which other accessories for bathing can also be made (stairs with railings, seats, flooring )

One of the preferred uses of the claimed device is shown below by example.

The metal container (1) is mounted on a metal stand and is filled with water, for example, using a supplied hose. Water heating can be carried out using a stove installed under the tank (1). People climb the stairs with a railing into the container (1) and take a comfortable position, sitting on seats rigidly installed with fasteners (6) to the walls of the container (1). At this time, the structure is under stress, in particular, in bending, under the influence of masses of water and people in the tank. Part of the loads that fall both on the walls of the tank (1) and on its bottom (2) take on ribs (5) of rigidity, formed by mating the sides of the flat trapezoidal faces (4) and the smaller bases of the flat trapezoidal faces (4) with large bases of flat trapezoidal faces (4) of the downstream row. Thanks to the ribs (5), as well as metal, as a manufacturing material with high strength, hardness, and elasticity, the design acquires the necessary rigidity, preventing its deformation due to the ability to resist bending moment.

In addition, the container (1) is stable with respect to the axis of symmetry due to its shape similar to a hemispherical formed by the walls and a flat bottom (2), which in turn has the shape of a polygon, each side of which is connected to the lower base of the flat trapezoid face (4) of the lower row. This form contributes to the fact that the resistance to loads on the bottom (2) does not decrease with an increase in the number of horizontal rows or the number of faces in each row.

The temperature field of water is equalized due to the described shape, similar to hemispherical and metal, as a manufacturing material with a high specific heat capacity.

At the end of the water procedures, the tap opens and water flows out of the pipe connected to the drain hole (3).

A device for swimming can be made as follows.

Stainless steel, for example, AISi 304 grade, can be used as the material of the product. Faces (4) of the required sizes are cut from the finished stainless steel sheets, connected to each other by welding at predetermined angles to each other, the bottom (2) is welded with a shape corresponding to the transverse section of future capacity (1). Capacity (1) acquires a closed hemispherical shape with three or more transverse rows and a cross section in the form of a polygon. In addition to welding, the mating of faces (4) can be performed, for example, by bending from a single part.

A drain hole (3) is cut out on the side face (4) of the metal container (1) or on its bottom (2).

 Welds are sanded. The surface of the metal container (1) is processed by grinding, in particular by satin finishing, in which part of the material is partially removed to obtain a semi-shiny surface from microroughnesses.

From the inside of the container (1), along its perimeter, fasteners (6) are installed, to which the seats are fixed, for example, in the form of benches. The sides of the container (1), its inner upper surface and the bottom (2) can also be sheathed with wood.

The metal container (1) can be installed on a stand, mainly metal, so that it is in the space formed by horizontal and vertical beams of which the stand is made. Beams can be connected to each other by welding or fasteners.

On the sides of the tank (1), eyebolts can also be fixed for connection to a metal chain for hanging on a tripod. A tripod in the form of logs is mounted on a flat surface using studs.

The presented figures, a description of the design and use of the device do not exhaust the possible options for execution and do not in any way limit the scope of the claimed technical solution. Other options for execution and use in the scope of the claimed formula are possible.

The claimed device for bathing can be used as a portable font for the adoption of relaxation and hygienic water procedures in the open air in sanatoriums, summer cottages and other places of rest, as well as a bath tub, when the device is located above a heat source. It has high strength characteristics due to the stiffening ribs formed at the junction of the edges, which provide resistance to the bending load and increase the rigidity of the tank.
