[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Although it is true that bathers can take a bath in a comfortable position by using the above-mentioned stationary pillows, the conventional stationary pillows can be used only for bathers' heads. It was nothing more than a supportive part of the body, and no consideration was given to heating or cooling the bather's head and giving a massage action from the occipital region to the nape of the neck. Recently, when spa therapy has been taken up as a means of rehabilitation for elderly people and rehabilitation of sequelae of sequelae vascular disease, it is not enough to support the head of a bather, but it may be necessary to support the bather according to their physical condition. There has been a strong demand for bathtub pillows that can provide heating or cooling and massage functions.

[0004]

【Example】

 First, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the attached FIGS. The bathtub pillow (1) includes a seat surface (1A) that is locked to an upper edge portion (2A) of the bathtub body (2) and an upper edge portion (2A) of the bathtub body (2) as shown in FIG. And a backrest portion (1B) extending toward the inner wall surface (2B) of the hollow container body, which is manufactured by, for example, blow molding of a thermoplastic resin. The bathtub pillow (1) forms the upper part of the hollow vessel body that supports the occipital region (3A) of the bather (3) into a vessel room (5) for storing hot or cold water (4) and a backrest portion. Inside (1B), a hot water or cold water flow path (6) communicating with the chamber (5) is formed.

As shown in FIG. 2, the bathtub pillow (1) is provided with an opening (7) with a cap (not shown) on the upper surface of the chamber (5), and the opening (7) is heated with hot water or By functioning as an inlet for cold water (4) and by attaching a flow control valve (8 A) on the back side of the backrest portion (1B), the hot water or cold water (4) into the chamber (5) can be protected. It is constructed so that the storage volume can be adjusted.

As a means for injecting hot water or cold water (4) into the chamber (5), a method of using a manual instrument such as a washing tub (9) as shown in FIG. 2 or a method shown in FIG. Such a hot water tap or a water tap (10) can be used. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, as a means for adjusting the storage amount of hot water or cold water (4) in the chamber (5), the chamber (5) is replaced with the flow control valve (8A) shown in FIG. An overflow weir (1 C) disposed inside is used. Hot or cold water (4) overflowing from the overflow weir (1C) flows into the bath body (2) through the flow path (6).

On the other hand, in the bathtub pillow (1) shown in FIG. 4, a circulation pump (11) is connected to the equipment room (5) as an automatic water heater or water heater. When the circulation pump (11) is started, hot water or cold water (4) in the chamber (5) is sent out into the bath body (2) through the first flow path (6A), and instead the bath body (2) is replaced. Hot water or cold water (4) in () is sent into the chamber (5) through the second flow path (6B).

The bathtub pillow (1) shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 is similar to that illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4 with respect to the hot water or cold water (4) supply and storage mechanism, but the bather ( 3) On the front side of the body (5), as hot water loosening device for the back of the head (3A) and the neck and shoulders (3B), hot or cold water (4) injected into the body (5) and a partition wall. The massage machine (13) is installed in a blocked state via (12). This massage machine (13) is vibrated by pressing the switch (13A) using the DC battery (14) as a power source, and transmits the vibration to the back head (3A) and neck (3B) of the bather (3), Although it is used to loosen dust, an AC power supply for general households can be used instead of the DC battery (14). As shown in FIG. 6, the massage machine (13) has a waterproof seal (15) attached around the vibrator (13 B) and the front wall surface of the body (5) so that the vibrator main body ( A sealing mechanism is formed for hot water or cold water (4) in the bath body (2) that is about to flow toward 13C).

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 11. In the following description, the same components as those of FIGS. 1 to 6 showing the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description of the overlapping matters will be omitted.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the bathtub pillow (1) has a hollow body (1A) having a seat surface (1A) that is locked to the upper edge (2A) of the bathtub body (2). 5) and flexible tubes (6A) and (6B) connected to the hollow container (5) as a flow path for injecting and discharging hot water or cold water. The flexible tubes (6A) and (6B) can be connected to the front surface of the hollow container (5) as shown in FIG. 7 or to the bottom or side surface of the hollow container (5). Is. Especially when cold water (4) is injected into the hollow vessel body (5) for the purpose of cooling the back of the head (3A) of the bather (3), the flexible tubes (6A) and (6B) By exposing the tip to the outside of the bathtub body (2), the inflow of cold water (4) into the bathtub body (2) can be blocked, so that the temperature of the hot water in the bathtub body (2) is kept. The bathing condition is maintained in which the lower body of the bather (3) is not exposed to cold water (4). In Example 1, the backrest portion (1B), which extends along the inner wall surface of the bathtub body (2) and is pressed against the back of the bather (3), is used as the positioning fixing means for the bathtub pillow (1). On the other hand, the bathtub pillow (1) in the second embodiment is positioned and fixed to the upper edge of the bathtub body (2) only by the seat surface (1A). By injecting hot or cold water (4) into the hollow container (5), the weight of the bathtub pillow (1) increases and the positioning and fixing function is strengthened. In order to further improve the stability, it is possible to attach an auxiliary positioning member (labor saving in the figure) such as a suction cup or a fixing bracket to the seat surface (1A). As a modified example of the present invention, the bathtub pillow (1) includes, in addition to the hot and cold water (4) supply / storing mechanism, the bather's (3) occipital region (3A), nape and shoulder. As a device for loosening rice (3B), the hot water or cold water (4) injected into the hollow body (5) and the bath body (2) is blocked in the front of the hollow body (5) (12) ( I am wearing a massage machine (13) in 15).

[0016]

[Effect of device]

 By using the bathtub pillow (1) according to the present invention, the bather (3) can maintain a comfortable bathing posture with the occipital region (3A) supported. Moreover, since the occipital region (3A) can be warmed or cooled by the hot water or cold water (4) injected into the body (5), it is expected to be effective for health care. Further, by using the massage machine (13) together, the neck and shoulder (3B) can be removed from the occipital region (3A).
