Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for increasing user comfort during personal grooming in bathrooms or the like.
  • One of the most widely used methods to make a bathroom comfortable is to be able to ventilate the room so as to eliminate all the odors and gases that form during the day, such as for example organic odors, vapors of lacquers and sprays, and residues of insect-repellent gases.
  • centrifugal extractor which is typically arranged above the toilet.
  • Lacquer vapors for example, require rapid extraction in order to prevent them from being inhaled by the user.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for increasing user comfort in grooming operations in bathrooms or the like, which is capable of aspirating rapidly the vapors and odors that form inside the bathroom.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for increasing user comfort during grooming in bathrooms or the like, which is capable of aspirating the odors that originate from the toilet.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus that is capable of heating the user during grooming.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for increasing user comfort during grooming in bathrooms or the like that increases safety in case of improper use of small electrical appliances such as hair dryers, hair straighteners, and others.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus that allows good viewing during grooming.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for increasing user comfort during grooming in bathrooms or the like whose costs are in any case competitive with respect to those of apparatuses having a similar functionality.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for increasing user comfort in grooming operations in bathrooms or the like that can be manufactured with known systems and technologies.
  • an apparatus for increasing user comfort during grooming in bathrooms or the like characterized in that it comprises a frame that is arranged adjacent to the region occupied by the user's head during grooming operations, said frame integrating tubular elements which form an air circuit, said tubular elements being provided with a plurality of holes and being further connected, by means of at least one duct, to aspirator means, said aspirator means being connected to an electric power supply and to actuation means that are available to the user.
  • an apparatus according to the invention is generally designated by the reference numeral 10.
  • the apparatus 10 comprises a frame 11 which is substantially flat and cantilevers out above the region occupied by the head of a user during his or her grooming, for example the region that lies above a washbasin 12 adjacent to a wall 11a.
  • the frame 11 is composed of first and second pairs of tubular elements 13a and 13b, which are mutually perpendicular and form a substantially rectangular structure.
  • the tubular elements can be for example steel tubes.
  • the tubular elements of the pairs 13a and 13b form a circuit through which air can circulate; such tubular elements, moreover, are provided with a plurality of holes 17 arranged along the longitudinal extension of the tubular elements.
  • Another tubular element 14 is arranged parallel to the pair of tubular elements 13b, so as to divide the frame into two parts in order to allow the insertion of a first panel 15 and of a second panel 16.
  • the additional tubular element 14 is functionally connected to the air circuit formed by the pairs of tubular elements 13a and 13b and is provided with the plurality of holes 17.
  • An intake 19 is arranged on the centerline of the tubular element of the pair 13b that lies furthest from the wall 11a and is connected to aspirator means 20, for example a fan-type extractor, by means of a duct 21.
  • the fan-type extractor is then connected to the outside by means of suitable ducts.
  • the aspirator means 20 are connected to an electric power supply 20a, for example the main power supply of the room in which the apparatus according to the invention is located, and to actuation means 20b that are available to the user, such as for example a power on/off button.
  • an electric power supply 20a for example the main power supply of the room in which the apparatus according to the invention is located
  • actuation means 20b that are available to the user, such as for example a power on/off button.
  • the frame 11 is supported by supporting means, for example a pair of supporting bars 22, which are arranged vertically and adjacent to the wall 11a, so that their lower ends are fixed to a base that is stable on the ground (not shown in the figure) and the upper ends are fixed to the ends of the tubular element of the pair 13b that lies closest to the wall 11a.
  • supporting means for example a pair of supporting bars 22, which are arranged vertically and adjacent to the wall 11a, so that their lower ends are fixed to a base that is stable on the ground (not shown in the figure) and the upper ends are fixed to the ends of the tubular element of the pair 13b that lies closest to the wall 11a.
  • Two brackets 22a are arranged between each one of the supporting bars 22 and the first pair of tubular elements 13a and support part of the cantilevered portion of the frame 11.
  • the supporting bars 22 also can be hollow and be functionally connected to the air circuit, which is formed by the first and second pairs of tubular elements 13a and 13b.
  • the toilet 26 is connected to the extractor and it is therefore possible to aspirate the bad odors that arrive from the toilet 26 when the cistern 25 is not discharging.
  • a mirror 27 can be inserted in the first panel 15.
  • the electrical outlet can comprise in turn a safety isolation transformer 27b to prevent the flow of short-circuit current through a user as a consequence of improper use of small electrical appliances.
  • Those electrical devices can comprise for example a pair of infrared lamps 28 for heating the user, which are arranged on the second panel 16.
  • the electrical users can comprise, on the same second panel 16, halogen lamps 29.
  • a third panel 30, comprised between the wall 11a and the structure 10, can accommodate an additional pair of halogen lamps 31.
  • the present invention provides an apparatus for increasing user comfort during grooming in bathrooms or the like that is capable of aspirating rapidly the vapors and odors that form inside the bathroom.
  • the present invention provides an apparatus that is capable of aspirating the odors that originate from the toilet.
  • the present invention provides an apparatus that is capable of heating the user during grooming.
  • the present invention provides an apparatus for increasing user comfort during grooming in bathrooms or the like that increases safety in case of improper use of small electrical appliances and allows adequate viewing during grooming.
  • the materials employed may be any according to requirements and to the state of the art.
