Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a health device that promotes blood circulation throughout the body by bathing the whole body with far infrared rays.

(Conventional technology) Recently, beauty and health appliances have been developed that use far infrared rays as a heat source to warm the entire body and promote blood circulation and sweating.
So-called far-infrared saunas, which are placed in a sealed box with only the neck exposed, and whose whole body is heated by a far-infrared heating mechanism installed inside the box, are becoming popular.

(Problems to be developed by the invention) However, the above-mentioned far-infrared sauna is generally heated to a considerably high temperature while sitting on a chair installed in a box to forcefully induce sweating. It does not utilize far infrared rays that are absorbed and convert into heat by activating sweat glands and sebaceous glands, and furthermore, heating while sitting on a chair does not cause the so-called cold head and feet, and improves blood circulation throughout the body. This is not desirable because it stimulates the muscles while being forced.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In contrast, this invention allows far infrared rays of about 8 microns, which penetrate the human body the most, to be transmitted in a sleeping state, that is, in a state where blood circulation and muscles are not strained at all.
In order to irradiate the user, the entire device is formed into a cover with a semicircular reflective surface on the inner surface to accommodate the user, and in this case, the irradiation is always focused on the user's torso and soles of the foot to be efficiently carried out. The entire cover can be changed according to the user's height, so that the user can change the height of the cover.

(Embodiments of the Invention) An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIGS. 1 and 2, 1 is a cover body, and the plate body is curved to have a semicircular cross section so that the inner surface is a reflective surface. At the same time, a rear cover 2 whose rear end surface is closed with a semicircular plate body is overlapped with a front cover 3 whose front and rear ends are open and whose plate body is curved in a semicircular cross section so that it can be expanded and contracted in the front and rear direction. has been done. In addition, the first
As is clear from the figure, this front and rear cover 3 is provided with a gasket 4 made of foam rubber or the like on the inner surface near the rear end to bring the cover rear edge 5 into close contact with the rear cover, and a neck cover 6 is attached to the front edge. By surrounding the neck of the user 7, the cover body 1
It prevents the inside from communicating with the outside.

A control box 8 and far-infrared radiators 9, 10 are provided inside the cover body 1. Among these, the far-infrared radiator 9 irradiates the soles of the user's feet, and the far-infrared radiator 10 irradiates the soles of the user's 7. It is installed to irradiate the torso. In FIG. 1, the far-infrared radiator 10 provided in the front cover 3 and the control box 8 are connected via a reel. These far-infrared dischargers 9 and 10 are of 250 to 800 watts, and are controlled via the power switch SW and timer T provided in the control box 8, as shown in FIG. The inside of the cover body 1 is kept at a constant temperature by
In this case, as is clear from FIG. 1, the control box 8 is provided on the inner surface of the rear end of the rear cover 2 so that the user can operate it with his/her foot.

The present invention has the above-mentioned configuration. To use this, the front cover 3 is stood up on the rear cover 2, and after putting the legs into the rear cover 2, the user places the front cover 3 on top of the rear cover 2. Just lift it up and stack it on the rear cover 2 according to your height as shown in Figure 2, and cover your upper body.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, in this invention, since the length of the cover body 1 can be adjusted according to the user's height, heating is always performed on the user's torso and soles. The heating operation and heating time setting can be performed freely by the user himself/herself, making it extremely efficient.The heating is evenly applied by reflection from the inner surface of the cover body 1, thus preventing sweating under ideal conditions. Moreover, when not in use, the front and rear covers 3 and 2 can be stacked on top of each other and stored in a small volume. In addition,
The cover main body 1 is not limited to the front and rear covers, but may be divided into three or more parts, and the far-infrared radiator may also be formed into a plate-like member attached to the inner surface of each cover.

[Brief explanation of drawings]

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. A cover body which is made up of a plurality of covers made of plates curved to have a semicircular cross section and whose inner surfaces are reflective surfaces, whose inner surfaces are the lower surfaces, whose edges overlap each other to close the rear end, and which is expandable and retractable in the front-rear direction. At the same time, inside this cover body, a far-infrared radiator for irradiating the soles of the feet is placed on the inner surface of the rear end, and a far-infrared radiator for irradiating the torso is placed on the inner surface of the middle part, each with a thermostat installed. death,
Furthermore, the far-infrared health device is equipped with a power switch connected to these far-infrared radiators and a timer that turns on the power for a predetermined period of time on the upper part of the inner surface of the rear end, which can be operated with each foot.
