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

- a container containing walls and a bottom;

- a drain hole is located at the bottom of the tank.

Distinctive features of the proposed solutions are:

- the tank is made of metal;

- walls include 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 angle of inclination of the faces of the row located above the seat level is from 100 to 110 degrees relative to the horizontal,

- fasteners for mounting the seat 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, 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 April 27, 2012.

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.

A technical solution is known, chosen as the closest analogue, 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 bottom and walls, which include at least three horizontal rows located at an angle to each other, with each of the rows consisting of flat trapezoidal faces conjugated by the lateral sides to form ribs. RF patent for utility model No. 185118, IPC A61H 33/00, published November 22, 2018.

Common features of the proposed solution and the known closest analogue are:

- a metal container containing walls and a bottom;

- 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, with the formation of ribs;

- 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;

Since the inventive device for swimming is used to conduct water relaxation and / or hygiene procedures, an important requirement for it is to ensure a comfortable position of the human body during the procedure. When developing the device, the task was to select the optimal parameters to ensure user comfort.

The technical result of the proposed technical solution is manifested in increasing the ergonomics of the claimed device.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that the bathing device, made in the form of a metal container containing a bottom and walls, which include horizontal rows located at an angle to each other, each of the rows is made of flat trapezoidal faces, interconnected by the sides, and a smaller base the trapezoidal face of one row mates with the large base of the trapezoidal face of the downstream row, while the conjugation of the faces is made with the formation of edges, and the bottom is made flat in shape e of an equilateral polygon, the sides of the polygon are mated to the lower bases of the trapezoidal faces of the lower row, contains a floor located in the lower part of the tank, and at least one seat fixed inside the tank, while the distance from the seat to the floor is 25 to 35 cm. The angle of inclination of the faces of the row located above the seat level is from 100 to 110 degrees relative to the horizontal. The seat is fixed to the walls of the tank from the inside with the help of fasteners. A drain hole is 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 implementation of a container made of metal with high mechanical properties, such as strength, hardness, elasticity improves the rigidity of the device and serves to ensure the implementation of the purpose of the claimed device - to create a reliable bathing device, which can accommodate one or more people to take water relaxation and / or hygiene procedures. Stiffeners formed on the interface of flat trapezoidal faces located at an angle to each other significantly increase the rigidity of the structure, take on part of the load, increasing the structure's resistance to bending moment, thereby preventing its deformation. At the same time, the performance of a metal container containing several horizontal rows makes the device sufficiently rigid due to the greater number of horizontal stiffeners formed arising at the place of pairing of flat trapezoidal faces, the formation of each row of the tank by pairing the faces with its lateral sides with the formation of vertical stiffening ribs also increase the structural rigidity .

The implementation of the metal container from several horizontal rows with fastening inside the deck and the seat allows you to conditionally divide the tank into the lower and upper parts, so that the edges above the seat level function as a backrest for comfortable placement of people inside the device, and the lower rows allow you to create the optimal amount of water in containers that will not heat up or cool down excessively quickly. The flooring is carried out in order to protect the user from contact with the bottom of the tank to prevent burns when taking hot baths. As a rule, the seats are fixed at the lower edge of the upper row of the container at a height of 25 to 35 cm from the floor. This distance allows you to provide the most comfortable position of the user in the tank. In addition, the implementation of the angle of inclination of the faces of the upper row relative to the horizontal in the range from 100 to 110 degrees, provides the possibility of the location of the human body in a comfortable semi-sitting position, allowing water procedures in a relaxed state of the muscles of the body.

The drain hole allows the outflow of water after operation of the bathing device without turning the tank over, which does not require the use of additional funds and increases the usability of the claimed device.

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 FIG. 1. Figure 3 schematically shows a top view of a bathing device.

Next, with reference to the figures describes the design of a device for swimming. In FIG. 1-3 depict: 1 - capacity, 2 - bottom, 3 - drain hole, 4 - face, 5 - rib, 6 - seat, 7 - flooring, 8 - fasteners for installing the seat, h - height from the top edge of the seat to the upper edge of the flooring, α is the angle of inclination of the faces of the upper row relative to the horizontal.

The height h is determined by measuring the distance from the level of the upper edge of the seat to the upper edge of the flooring along a vertical line connecting these levels. The angle α is measured on the inside of the tank relative to the horizontal line.

The bathing device is a container (1) made of metal, which contains walls and a bottom (2). In a preferred embodiment, the walls are formed by 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 sides, forming ribs (5). In this case, the smaller base of the trapezoidal face (4) of one row is mated with the large 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.

Inside the container (1), flooring (7) is installed in the lower part and the seats (6) are necessary for individuals or groups to be in the container (1) for people who are fixed to the walls of the container using fasteners (8). In this case, the faces of the upper row of the tank perform the function of a back to support the back of users. As a rule, the seats are fixed at the level of conjugation of the faces of the upper and lower rows in such a way that the distance from the seat to the flooring is from 25 to 35 cm. The specified range is selected during the evaluation of ergonomic indicators of the device, as the most optimal for comfortable placement of people in a tank that allows carry out water procedures in a relaxed state of the muscles of the body. The height of the seat, that is, the distance from the lower edge of the upper row to the bottom, is oriented to the distance between the flooring (supporting surface of the foot) and the lower part of the thigh, that is, to the length of the lower leg with the foot. The experimental data included a subjective assessment of comfort and objectively controlled signs of fatigue, which were expressed in the time spent comfortably in the tank at different seat installation heights and tilt of the upper row face, without fatigue in a particular muscle group. Most users perceived the seat height in the claimed range as comfortable. A height of less than 20 cm leads to greater loads on the buttocks and lower back and reduces the time spent comfortably in the container during the procedure, and a height of more than 35 cm is uncomfortable for most people because the feet do not have sufficient support and this also leads to discomfort. The most comfortable average position is set at 25-26 cm, while individual selection of height h for a specific user is possible. The specified method was determined and the claimed range of the angle of inclination of the upper face of the tank relative to the horizontal. At an angle of more than 110 degrees, tension arises in the upper back and neck; at an angle of less than 100 degrees, the user's back is in a position close to the vertical, which was rated as not conducive to relaxation.

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) that does not require the use of additional funds and improves the usability of the claimed device. A drain pipe with a tap can be connected to the drain hole (3).

The flooring (7) placed in the lower part of the tank can be made, for example, of wood, as a rule, repeating the shape of the bottom of the tank. It is also possible to perform the flooring (7) in the form of steps, when in addition to the lower part of the flooring several steps are located at different levels.

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, for example, eyebolts. The logs can be fixed with a flat surface with the help of metal studs.

A heat source, for example, a stove for heating water, can be installed under the tank (1), while the stove can have the shape 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 tank (1) and its board, which forms the upper part of the tank (1), can be sheathed with a durable and moisture-resistant tree, mainly cedar, from which other bathing accessories 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 the seats (6), rigidly fixed with fasteners (8) to the walls of the container (1). The user's legs can be in a comfortable half-elongated state, leaning on a flooring placed above the bottom (2). The height of the seat (6) and the angle of inclination of the container help to ensure a comfortable position of the human body during the procedure.

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 manufactured 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 given angles to each other, and the bottom (2) is welded with a shape corresponding to the transverse section of the future capacity (1). Capacity (1) takes on 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 coating, 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 (8) are installed, to which the seats (6) are fixed, for example, in the form of benches. Above the bottom (2) of the tank, a flooring (7) is installed. The sides of the container (1) and its inner upper surface 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, from 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.
