Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Effects of the invention] (Field of industrial application) The present invention relates to a bathing health appliance that uses hot water flow to swing or move the body position of a bather in a bathroom, bathhouse, etc.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, in bathrooms, bathhouses, etc., there have been health appliances that apply a simple stream of hot water or a jet of hot water containing bubbles to the body of the bather in the bathtub to perform pine surgery, but the present invention's There has never been a health appliance that uses the fluid pressure or jet pressure as power to periodically change the bather's body position to give a full-body massage.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) In view of this difficulty, the present invention aims to improve the body position of the bather by discharging a stream of warm water into the bathtub from an outlet provided in a floating device on which the abdomen or waist of the bather is placed. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a bathing health appliance that periodically oscillates or moves up and down to give appropriate stimulation and perform pine surge.

[Structure of the device] (Example) The following will be explained based on the example shown in the drawings.
As shown in the figure, the floating device 1 of the bathing health equipment of the present invention
consists of a single-cell vinyl sponge with a specific gravity of 0.05 to 0.2, which has a roughly rectangular cross section with rounded corners at its four corners, and its overall shape is U-shaped so that it can be attached to the back of the abdomen of the body. are bent outward horizontally to form wing portions 2a and 2b, respectively.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the tips of three flexible water supply pipes 4 are guided inside through the water supply ports 3 drilled in the bottom front of this floating device 1, and A water supply pipe 4c is connected to the discharge port 5 drilled on the lower surface of the bottom shown in 5 in FIG. 3, and the water supply pipes 4 on both sides
a and 4b are connected to discharge ports drilled in the lower surface of the wing, respectively, similarly shown as 6a and 6b in FIG. These water supply pipes 4 are accommodated in a large-diameter protective binding pipe 14 whose tips are connected to the outside of the water supply port 3 .

The base end of this protective bundling pipe 14 is guided to the drain side of the valve 7 shown in FIG. 7, and the base ends of the three water supply pipes 4 are connected to the three valve ports on the drain side, respectively. . On the other hand, the base end of a flexible water suction pipe 8 with a pump 10 interposed therebetween is connected to the water supply side of the valve 7, and at its tip there is a water suction section 9 having water suction ports 9a bored at intervals on the side surface of the hollow ellipsoid. will be established.

The starting device 11 of the pump 10 and the opening/closing device 12 of the valve 7 are connected to a control device 13, and the control device 13 has a switch 15 thereof.
When the pump 10 is turned on, the pump 10 is activated, and a timer circuit is installed which sequentially opens one of the three valve ports at regular intervals while keeping the other two closed. However, there is a pause time between the closing and opening operations of the valve port, and the pump 10 is also stopped during this pause time.

Furthermore, FIG. 4 shows a seat-like structure in which the overall shape of the floating device 1 is provided with a concavely curved supporting portion 1a in the center and a rounded peripheral edge so that the floating device 1 can be attached to the abdomen or the back of the waist of the body. The figure shows the form in which it was formed.

(Function) As shown in FIG. 5, the water absorption part 9 at the tip of the water absorption pipe 8 of the device is inserted into warm water in a bathtub, and the floating device 1 is floated in the warm water. The bather places the floating device 1 on the back of his abdomen while lying on his back, and then turns on the switch 15 of the control device 13. Then, the hot water flow discharged from the pump 10 passes through the water supply pipe 4 connected to one of the three valve ports that are selectively opened and closed, and flows to the lower surface of the bottom and the lower surface of the right wing of the floating device 1. Alternatively, it is sequentially discharged from discharge ports 5, 6a, and 6b provided on the lower surface of the left wing. Therefore, the body position first moves up and down centering on the abdomen, then swings to the left, and then swings to the right, which is repeated with rest periods in between.

FIG. 6 shows a usage mode in which the floating device 1 of another embodiment is attached to the abdomen or back of the waist of the bather and the exercise is performed. When this alternative embodiment of the floating device 1 is used, the buoyancy is large, so the supine posture of the bather is stabilized, and the pine surge caused by the exercise is effectively applied to the entire body, centering on the lower back.

[Effects of the invention] According to the bathing health equipment of the invention, the bather's body position is periodically rocked or moved up and down during a hot bath to provide moderate stimulation and stimulate the whole body, mainly in the abdomen or lower back. Pine surgery can be applied.

In particular, when the alternative floating device shown in FIG. 4 is attached to the back of the bather's waist, the bather can easily take a supine position and can smoothly swing or move up and down in the warm water around the waist.

It would be even better if the rest time, etc. set in the timer circuit of the control device could be adjusted with a dial so that not only young people but also elderly people can exercise comfortably and gently while taking a bath. That's convenient.

If the jet pressure of a jet of hot water containing a group of bubbles is used as power instead of just the flow pressure of hot water, the ultrasonic waves generated when the bubbles burst due to water pressure or contact will stimulate blood flow in the body and stimulate muscles. It is even more effective as it loosens stubborn residue, alleviates the pain of neuralgia, and emulsifies dirt and grime for cleaning.
