The automatic germanium hot bath device shown in Figure 1 is based on the principle of The hot bath is achieved with the apparatus shown in Figure 2 below.

That is, in the hot bath apparatus according to the present invention shown in FIG. An upper bathtub 1 and a lower bathtub 2 are provided at the bottom, and these upper and lower bathtubs are attached to the upper and lower parts of the unit housings 12 arranged in parallel, and the hot bath equipment B in one row is installed as appropriate in relation to the control unit A. It is shown as a method that allows multiple rows to be arranged in parallel or to be further extended in the length direction. Here, to explain the upper bathtub 1 and the lower bathtub 2 shown as the hot bath part of the present invention in the figure, the upper bathtub 1 has, as shown in its sectional view,
A tow-shaped upper bathtub 1 is installed in front of the housing 12, and is formed by connecting unit housings 12 arranged in parallel on the top of the basic housing in the arrangement direction. The upper end of the rear wall extends horizontally, and the extended end is supported on the upper surface of the housing to form a protrusion.
Near the upper center of the bathtub, the entire wall surface constituting the front wall of the bathtub curves outward to create a recess 8 where the chest or abdomen of the person performing the hot bath is located, as shown in FIG.
are arranged in an arc shape toward the inside of the unit casing 12 leaving both sides of the unit casing 12 open, and the upper surface of the upper bathtub 1 can be closed or opened with one piece or with separate lids 9 as shown in the figure. ing. Here, the lid 9 is attached to the upper part of the rear wall of the upper bathtub 1, as shown in FIG.
The rear end is attached, and the lid 9 is attached to the upper bathtub 1.
The upper surface can be opened and closed, and a support member 10 is provided projecting from the rear of the upper surface of the lid 9 to be supported by the upper surface of a horizontal protrusion extending from the rear wall of the upper bathtub 1. A towel hanger 11 is protruded from the lower surface of the upper bathtub 1 and can be positioned in the recess of the upper bathtub 1 when closed. When the lid 9 is closed, the hanger 11 is positioned in the recess of the upper bathtub 1 and When the body 9 is opened, as shown in the sectional view of FIG. 3, the lid 9 can be placed in an upright position by means of a support member 10 on the rear upper surface of the lid 9.

Next, as can be seen in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 3, the lower bathtub 2 has a lower surface width that allows the feet of the person performing the hot bath to be inserted into the bathtub, and the water level of the bath liquid is The height of the hot bath is set so as to have a sufficient capacity to bathe the lower part of the body, and the person who performs the hot bath is positioned in front of the housing 12, sits on, for example, a chair, and places his/her feet in each bathtub. In the illustrated example, there is a tubular shape similar to that of the upper bathtub 1 that communicates with the lower part of the parallel-arranged casings. The tanks are arranged in a parallel arrangement direction, and the lower bathtub 2 is installed in the housing 12.

The reason why the front wall of the lower bathtub 2 is inclined with respect to the rear wall in the figure is to reduce the amount of bath liquid in the lower bathtub 2 and prevent its concentration from being diluted. It has the meaning of facilitating the insertion of the executor's foot.

Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 3, the position of the bottom surface of the upper bathtub 1 on the left side of the figure and the position of the bottom surface of the upper bathtub 1 on the right side are set slightly higher on the right side.
Because the height of the bather varies depending on the person performing the hot bath,
Bathtub 1 on the left is suitable for relatively short performers.
In addition, the bathtub 1 on the right side has two types of bathtubs arranged in parallel so that it can be used by relatively tall people.

Next, the upper and lower bathtubs shown in such a diagram may be integrally provided with a barrel-shaped tank connected over the length of the unit casings 12 arranged in parallel. As shown in the figure, one unit case 1
By providing one unit bathtub 1 on the upper part of the bathtub 2 and connecting this bathtub 1 to other bathtubs 1 individually, it can be used as a bathtub similar to the embodiment of the present invention described above.

In this case, the unit case 12 is provided with one unit case 12 as shown in FIG. 7, and the front surface of the case 12 is
As mentioned above, the recess 8 is formed by extending in an arc shape toward the inside of the unit casing 12, leaving both sides of the unit casing 12, and the lid 9 is attached to the upper part of the rear wall of the casing 12. , while making the top surface of the casing openable and closable, a connecting pipe 15 is provided protruding from the side surface of the bathtub, and the pipe 15 is fitted with a pipe of another adjacent unit casing 12;
For example, by connecting them using flexible pipes 16 and increasing the number of tubs as appropriate, a bathtub of the required length can be provided at a desired location.

Note that the unit housing 12 that supports the upper bathtub 1 and the lower bathtub 2 may be one that simply supports the upper bathtub 1 and the lower bathtub 2, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. As shown in the figure, legs are erected at regular intervals and the bathtubs are fixed above and below the legs, or, although not shown, panels are arranged and the panels are used to create a casing that supports the upper and lower bathtubs. Of course, this is also possible.

In addition, device A placed on the side of these hot bath devices B
is a control unit that enables temperature adjustment, filtering, and circulation of the bath liquid 17 of the hot bath device B, and a feeding device 4 such as a pump, a filter device 5, a temperature adjustment device 6, etc. are incorporated inside this unit. It is.

It should be noted that these devices can be configured in such a control unit or by other means as appropriate.

As mentioned above, what is shown by 7 in the figure is a diffuser plate installed inside the lower bathtub 2, and 18 is a footrest and water purification device, and the said diffuser plate 7 is as shown in FIG. A porous air diffuser plate 7 is installed on the lower surface of the lower bathtub 2, and a pump 4 is connected to the air diffuser plate 7 as usual.
A hose 13 from the bottom is connected to enable air diffusion, and the air diffusion provides stimulation to the feet in the lower bathtub 2, as well as cleaning and stimulation effects due to the generation of ultrasonic waves. Water purification device 18
A lid 20 that can be opened and closed on the top surface of the box body is provided with water passage parts such as holes or slits in two side wall plates 19 facing each other.
is provided, and ore and other bath liquid treatment agents 14 are provided inside.
Its height is set higher than the height of the bath liquid 17 in the lower bathtub 2, and as the bath liquid 17 flows inside the lower bathtub 2, it functions as a footrest and a water purification device. 18, the bath liquid treatment agent inside comes into contact with the bath liquid 17, and trace components such as minerals are released from the treatment agent into the bath liquid 17, or impurities in the bath liquid 17 are removed. In addition to purifying the water by adsorbing water, the person who executes the bath liquid cleans the top surface of the device 18 that protrudes upward from the surface of the bath liquid 17 after the bath liquid is finished.
It is used for draining water by placing its feet on the top surface, and therefore, it may be appropriate to provide projections on the entire top surface of the lid portion 20, which corresponds to the top surface of the device 18, to improve draining. It is a matter.

Furthermore, in the figure, each member provided like a paving stone on the upper part of the flat surface of the lower bathtub 2 is the same as the bath liquid treatment agent 14 placed inside the footrest/water purification device 18, and the granules thereof are removed. It is also possible to cover the lower surface of the lower bathtub 2 as appropriate.

As described above, the automatic germanium hot bath device according to the present invention circulates the bath liquid in the upper bathtub and the lower bathtub while maintaining a constant germanium concentration at a constant temperature by operating the control unit. For this device, the person performing the bathing liquid opens the lid of the upper bathtub at an appropriate location, sits on a chair, etc., dips his or her feet into the lower bathtub, and dips his or her hands or arms into the upper bathtub. The posture is such that the chest or abdomen of the person performing the hot bath is located in the recessed portion of the bathtub. Then, from the air diffuser plate in the lower bathtub, air is diffused as appropriate as the bath liquid is applied to stimulate or wash the bather's feet, and the air diffusion time is adjusted using a timer. This makes it possible to adjust the bathing time of the person administering the bathing liquid and to notify the person administering the bathing liquid.

When the bath liquid is finished, if the lid is closed on the upper bathtub, the heat radiation from the upper bathtub will be restricted, and although it is not provided in the above explanation, it is necessary to close the lid on the lower bathtub in the same way as the upper bathtub. By providing this, it is possible to provide a heat retention effect in the same way as the upper bathtub.

As described above, the automatic germanium hot bath device according to the present invention includes an appropriate number of unit casings arranged in parallel and each having an open front, an upper bathtub having a different bottom height in each row in the upper direction, and a lower Lower bathtubs with the same bottom height in each row are arranged in communication with each other, and a lid body with a width corresponding to the size of each unit case is attached to the upper bathtub so that it can be sealed. At the front of the bathtub, a recess where the chest or abdomen of the person performing the hot bath is located is extended in an arc shape toward the inside of the unit housing, leaving both sides of the unit housing intact, and the upper and lower bathtubs are connected by a bath liquid supply pipe. to form a closed circulation circuit,
Since the circuit incorporates a feeding device, a filter device, and a temperature adjustment device at appropriate locations, when the device is used to supply bath liquid, the amounts of bath liquid in the upper bathtub and the lower bathtub are always adjusted. Furthermore, germanium bath liquid suitable for the bather is prepared by adjusting the temperature and removing each impurity, and by bringing the chest or abdomen of the bather into close contact with the recess in the front of the upper bathtub, This allows the user's elbows and hands, especially those prone to arthritis, to be stored on both sides of the casing, allowing the user to naturally move their elbows without forcing themselves into an unreasonable position. can be immersed in the upper bathtub, and at the same time, the chest or abdomen of the person who is in close contact with the recess of the upper bathtub can be warmed, and at the same time, the feet of the person who is doing the bathing liquid can be immersed smoothly in the lower bathtub. Moreover, when an air diffuser plate is provided in the lower bathtub, the stimulation of the feet by the air diffused from the air diffuser plate provides stimulation along with the warm bathing effect of the germanium bath liquid, and synergistically enhances the effect of the germanium hot bath. It is something that can be done.

In addition, since each upper bathtub is provided with a lid, the person performing the germanium hot bath can open only the necessary part and perform the hot bath even when the entire device is not in use. Since the lid is installed upright in front of the person performing the hot bath, it can be used as a cover when attempting to use it as a shield to protect against the person on the other side in the situation shown in Figure 3. Since the bather may sweat on their face and neck while bathing, a hanger is installed on the top of the lower surface of the lid, and if a towel or the like is hung on the hanger, the towel should be immediately removed. It is convenient to use bath liquid to wipe away sweat from the person performing the bath.

Furthermore, when a footrest and water purification device is used in the lower bathtub, the bather can expect the effect of the bathwater treatment agent in the device, and if it is used as a footrest, the water purification device can be used directly from the lower bathtub. There is no need to put one's feet on the floor where the device is installed, and it is possible to stand on the bottom of the device bath after draining water on the device, thereby preventing the floor surface from getting wet, In addition, as shown in Fig. 3, by providing two types of heights for the bottom of the upper bathtub, one high and one low, and by incorporating a vertical adjustment device for the upper bathtub as appropriate, the back height can be improved. It is possible to adapt to both tall and short people, and the recess in the front of the upper bathtub, such consideration of height, and the positioning of the lid on the top of the upper bathtub make it possible to accommodate people who use hot water. It can be used for health management and disease treatment.
