Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a sauna bath that is particularly suitable for general household use and for a small number of people.

[Conventional technology]

In recent years, enclosure-shaped sauna baths have come into widespread use for general household use, and various improvements have been made to make them more comfortable to use.

For example, as described in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 154558/1983, a spot of cold air is blown onto the face of a sauna bather to protect the bather's eyes and provide comfort. structure has been proposed.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in the conventionally proposed method, the cold air outlet is fixed in a state protruding inward from the inner wall surface of the sauna bath, which obstructs access to and from the sauna bath and poses a safety problem.

Furthermore, the switch for turning on and off the spot cold air is installed on the outside of the sauna bath, and its operation is cumbersome.

The problem to be solved by the present invention is to solve the problems of introducing spot cold air in conventional sauna baths, and to achieve more comfort, especially in home sauna baths.

[Means for solving problems]

This invention consists of a rotatable cold air outlet that is oriented toward the bather's face position, and a rotating shaft of the cold air outlet that is linked to the operating switch of the cold air blower. The above problems were solved by making the cold air spot compatible with the sauna bath, and by rotating the cold air blower to enable the cold air blower to be turned on and off from inside the sauna bath. It is something. Furthermore, by making the face plate provided on the cold air outlet substantially coincide with and included in the inner wall when it is housed in the inner wall, the cold air outlet can be housed without protruding from the inner wall. Furthermore, if the face plate is used for rotational operation, the fingertips will not touch the switch directly, thereby preventing accidents such as electric shock.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

〔Example〕

Fig. 1 shows an example of the sauna bath of the present invention, in which cold air is blown onto the inner surface of the sauna bath housing 1 facing the reclining seat 2 with a pine surge device so as to be directed at approximately the height of the bather's face. A spray port 3 is provided.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the structure of the cold air blowing port 3 with the wall surface removed from the inside of the sauna bath housing 1. In the figure, reference numeral 4 indicates a storage box for the cold air outlet 3 embedded in the inner wall 10. On one wall of the storage box 4, a body 6 of a cold air blower 3 is rotatably connected to a blower body 7 of a cold air blower (not shown) by a connector 5 as shown in FIG. .

The blower cylinder 7 is embedded in the wall surface, the ceiling of the sauna bath housing 1 is a double ceiling, and a cold air blower is provided within the double ceiling. Reference numeral 14 denotes an outside air intake port, which is provided with a filter to prevent dust and the like from being sucked in.

Further, the body part 6 of the cold air blowing port 3 is provided with an operating protrusion 9 for operating a limit switch 8 for operating the cold air blower, and the body part 6 of the cold air blowing port 3 rotates. As shown by the chain line in FIG. 2, when the cold air outlet 3 is correctly oriented toward the reclining seat 2 with a mattress surge device, the operating protrusion 9 comes into contact with the limit switch 8, and the cold air blower motor (not shown) is activated. It is designed to start and send a spot of cold air into a small area.

Furthermore, when it is no longer necessary to feed cold air, when the cold air blowing port 3 is rotated from the position shown by the chain line to the position shown by the solid line, the operating protrusion 9 is separated from the limit switch 8, and the introduction of cold air is immediately stopped. .

As shown in FIG. 2, the structure of the storage box 4 for the cold air outlet 3 described above is not only for storing the cold air outlet 3, but also for convenient storage and removal, and for the inside of the bath case 1. It is possible to create a structure that looks completely natural when viewed from above. That is,
Referring to FIG. 2, the depth of the upper end of the storage box 4 is approximately the same as the depth of the tip of the cold air blowing port 3 to prevent the cold air blowing port 3 from being pushed in too much when it is stored, and the cold air blowing port 3 is kept in the blown state. A face plate 11 similar to the inner wall 10 of the sauna bath housing 1 is provided on the lower surface when the sauna bath housing 1 is turned on, and a handle 12 is provided on the same face plate 11 for convenient opening and closing, and the cold air blowing port 3 is oriented in the oriented state. A stopper 13 is provided on the lower inner surface of the storage box 4 in order to prevent the cold air blowing port 3 from being damaged due to excessive rotation when the storage box 4 is rotated. Thereby, the rotation of the cold air blowing port 3 can be performed accurately.

[Effect of idea]

Overall, the sauna bath of the present invention can have the following effects.

(1) The cold air outlet is rotatably built into the inner wall of the sauna bath housing, and the face plate is used to rotate the cold air outlet, making it easy to operate while in the bath, and with the touch of a finger. Since there is no need to touch the switch directly, it can be used safely even in a humid sauna bath without the risk of electric shock.

(2) The cold air outlet can be rotated and stored inside the interior wall, so there is no discomfort inside the sauna bath enclosure. Furthermore, since the cold air blowing port is housed in the inner wall of the sauna bath housing when not in use, it does not interfere with the coming and going of bathers.

(3) Since cold air can be applied accurately to small areas, it is possible to create a comfortable sauna bath.
