Description

Camping bath

The utility model relates to the field of hygiene and is a camp bathroom in the form of overalls that follows the contours of the body and is designed to maintain personal hygiene during outdoor activities, namely: hunting, fishing, tourism, sports, regardless of weather conditions and place of use.

The prior art flexible bath-overalls (RU 159069 U1,

IPC A61NZZ / 00, publ. 01/27/2016), which consists of a waterproof, flexible, deformable shell in the form of boots with over the knee boots and semi-overalls with aids in which the liquid circulates. Inside the flexible bath-overalls, nozzles for massage can be installed on the inlet hose. The utility model relates to the field of human health care and is intended for local water procedures.

However, this solution is designed to be used for medical purposes in limited areas of the body (exclusively the lower body of the patient). Also, the utility model RU 159069 U1 assumes the presence of inlet and outlet liquid fittings through which the bath is filled and the liquid is circulated in the internal volume of the bath, by hydraulic massage, for which flexible hoses are installed inside the bath, connected to the inlet fittings, with several nozzles, through which fluid is supplied to certain areas of the body. This solution, due to its design features, cannot perform the function of washing the entire human body. Also, the presence of these hoses, nozzles, fittings, is not necessary for normal hygiene procedures, and is not makes it possible to compactly fold a flexible bathtub for storage or transportation.

Known flexible bath (RU 159070 U1, IPC A61NZZ / 06, publ. 01/27/2016), characterized in that it is made in the form of a boot, consisting of a deformable overbottom with a sole and heel, connected to it with aids, equipped with fittings for supplying and discharging fluid through flexible hoses and at least one cuff that limits the volume of fluid inside the bath and is located inside the deformable overseas at a height determined by the physiological limitations of the patient’s legs. This solution, due to its design features, cannot perform the function of washing the entire human body, but is only intended for washing the patient’s legs.

Known portable bath in the form of a capsule (Patent US 3677263 A, IPC A61H 29/00, publ. 07/18/1972), which includes an elongated shell of an elastic waterproof material that covers the patient's body except for the head. On the shell there are openings for supply and from the shell. The disadvantages of this solution is that:

- the patient cannot independently perform the body wash procedure, as the patient’s arms and legs are enclosed in this capsule;

- high water consumption is required, since when taking a bath, it is necessary to fill the entire internal volume of the capsule with water.

This solution is the closest to the claimed utility model.

The technical task of the proposed utility model is to create a camp bath design that reduces the consumption of water used, and the possibility of adopting hygiene procedures (baths) for the entire human body at any time, anywhere, in any position (standing, sitting, lying), regardless from environmental conditions. The problem is solved in that a marching bath is proposed comprising a forming body made of an elastic waterproof material that covers a person’s body, repeating its contours, with the exception of a head equipped with means for supplying and discharging fluid located in the upper and lower parts of the forming body, respectively, the upper part of the forming body is made with an opening for the neck and a water-tight zipper, in which, according to a utility model, the forming body is made in in the form of overalls that correspond to the human body, including arms and legs, a sealing collar is made around the perimeter of the neck opening to ensure the tightness of the internal cavity of the forming body, the mouth of the water supply means is made with internal or external thread, and at least three straps are built into the forming body for fixing the fluid in part or parts of the internal cavity of the forming body.

In addition, the forming body is made of a polymer material or silicone.

In addition, the sealing sleeve is made of neoprene or other elastic material.

The implementation of the forming body in the form of overalls, the shape of which corresponds to the human body, including arms and legs (except the head), provides great savings in liquid (water) during the body wash procedure. For example, for such a procedure, in camp conditions, 5 liters of water is sufficient. In addition, the user can perform hygiene procedures while hunting and fishing, in the forest, in the field, in the mountains, on a camping trip, in a car trip, as well as in the field (by military personnel).

The execution of the neck of the hole for supplying water with internal or external thread provides the ability to connect this hole with a hose, bottle or other container for filling water in the internal cavity of the body in the form of overalls.

The execution of overalls with built-in straps for fixing the liquid in the part (s) of the inner cavity of the forming body provides the opportunity to reduce the amount of water used. With the belts on the legs and belt tightened, the upper part of the inner cavity is filled with a small amount of water in a matter of seconds. The waist belt and belts above the knees divide the internal cavity of the body into three parts - the upper one, which is washed first of all, the middle one, where water flows down when the waist belt is unfastened below to the next belts, and the lower one, where water flows down with all the belts unfastened. As a result, only the amount of water that was originally poured into the upper part of the body is used to wash the body.

The proposed utility model is illustrated by drawings, where Fig. 1 schematically shows a marching bath, Fig. 2A, 2B, 2B is a diagram of the economical use of water using belts.

The proposed camping bath contains (as shown in FIGS. 1-2B) a forming body 1 of an elastic waterproof material that covers the human body, repeating its contours, with the exception of the head. In the upper part of the casing, means are provided with a neck 2 and with a valve for supplying water, and in the lower part of the casing (near the feet), means are provided for draining the liquid, for example valves 3 (taps). An opening for the neck is made in the upper part of the body, along the perimeter of which a sealing collar (not shown) is made to ensure the tightness of the internal cavity of the forming body. The forming body 1 is made in the form of overalls, which corresponds to the human body, including arms and legs. For the convenience of dressing and removing overalls, a water-gas-tight zipper (not shown) is provided in the upper part. The top end of the zipper is in the neckline, and the length of the zipper can range from 20 to 40 cm. The neck of the hole 2 for supplying water is made with internal or external threads. At least three belts 4 and 5 are integrated in the jacket of the overalls for fixing the liquid in parts or parts of the internal cavity of the forming body.

The overalls can be made of non-toxic, environmentally friendly, dense, waterproof and resistant to damage to the material, for example, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, silicone, or any other polymeric material. The sealing cuff is made of neoprene or other elastic material.

Taking a bath is as follows: a person puts on a jumpsuit 1, fastens a zipper and through the neck 2 fills its inner cavity with water 6 and takes a bath in any convenient position. After the washing procedure, water is discharged through the drain valves 3. The user chooses the method of pouring water into the cavity of the overalls at his discretion, for example:

- pours water into the neck directly from any container (for convenience, it can use a watering can);

- screw the neck of a plastic bottle into the internal thread;

- connects a water hose through an external thread.

To reduce the amount of water used, a system for restricting the volume of the inner cavity of the overalls is provided by means of belts 4 and 5 or other fasteners built into the body (as shown in Fig. 2 A, 2B, 2B).

Bathing using a volume limiting system is as follows.

The user tightens the belts on the legs and the belt, dividing the inner cavity of the overalls into three parts: the upper 7, which is washed first, the middle 8, which is washed next, and the lower 9, which is washed last. A small amount of water 6 is poured through the neck 2. Water 6 fills only the upper part 7 of the internal cavity, since the belt 4 fits snugly against the region of the wearer's waist, without letting water pass downward (as shown in FIG. 2 A). After washing the upper body, unfasten the waist belt 4, water flows down to the next belts 5, filling the middle part 8, and continue to wash (as shown in Fig.2B). Next, unfasten the belts 6 on both legs, and water flows into the lower part of the overalls 9 (as shown in Fip2B). After application, the water flows very quickly through the drain 3.

The main advantage of the proposed solution is the saving of water use and the ability to perform hygiene procedures in any conditions. Also, the use of a camp bath (as an overalls) allows you to protect users from wind, dust and hypothermia. In addition, the temperature of the water is preferred. The material from which the jumpsuit is made is lightweight, wear-resistant and durable, and is intended for repeated use.

Camping bathtubs are a great alternative to a variety of portable and camping showerheads. In addition, it does not need to be long and painfully adjusted to fit your height, as well as looking for a place to use, just put on a jumpsuit and it is ready for use, and at the same time a very small amount of water is used to carry out a hygiene procedure (body wash).
