[0015] The shower piping structure for a shampoo bowl according to the present invention includes a shampoo bowl having a bottom and a wall, the front wall being the wall on the front side where the neck of the person to be treated is placed to treat the head of the person to be treated, a first piping member attached to a corner between a back wall being the wall on the back side opposite the front wall and a side wall being the wall adjacent to the back wall, a second piping member connected to the first piping member, a shower hose connected to the second piping member, and a shower head connected to the shower hose, the first piping member facing the front wall, the second piping member facing the other side wall being opposed to the one side wall, and the shower head being disposed in the other corner between the back wall and the other side wall. That is, the shower hose is inside the shampoo bowl and is not exposed to the outside of the shampoo bowl, so that an excellent aesthetic appearance is realized. Also, the water that runs down the shower hose does not flow to the outside of the shampoo bowl, so that the floor and the clothes of the person to be treated do not get wet or dirty. The shower hose has an appropriate length from one corner to the other, allowing the therapist to manipulate the shower head as intended and direct the shower at the recipient's head from any direction.

[0016] In the shampoo bowl shower piping structure according to the present invention, the second piping member is rotatable relative to the first piping member, and therefore the shampoo bowl shower piping structure is easy to use.

[0017] In the shower piping structure for a shampoo bowl according to the present invention, a support member for attaching and detaching the shower head with the water spout facing the bottom is attached to the other corner, so that there is a sufficient gap between the water spout and the water surface in the shampoo bowl.

[0018] In the shower piping structure for a shampoo bowl according to the present invention, the support member has a pressing part that holds the shower head from the opposite side to the water outlet. The shower head is pressed down by the pressing part from the opposite direction to the force exerted by the water pressure of the shower, so the shower head will not come off the support member even under the water pressure of the shower.

[0019] In the shower piping structure for a shampoo bowl according to the present invention, the support member has a water spout support portion that supports the periphery of the water spout portion. Since the shower head is supported from the water spout portion side, it will not come off the support member and fall to the bottom.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0025] The following is an explanation of the shower piping structure for a shampoo bowl according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figures 1 to 4 show the appearance and cross section of a shampoo bowl 1 that realizes the shower piping structure for a shampoo bowl according to this embodiment. In the following explanation, in Figure 1, if the head of a person to be treated (not shown) is placed in the shampoo bowl 1, the side through which the neck of the person to be treated passes is the front side, the opposite side facing the front side is the back side, the height direction of the shampoo bowl 1 is the up side or the down side, and the width direction of the shampoo bowl 1 is the left side and the right side.

[0026] As shown in Figs. 1 to 4, shampoo bowl 1 is for a person to receive treatment by placing his / her head while lying on his / her back on a treatment table (not shown). Treatments include, for example, shampoo, scalp massage, coloring, perm, eye makeup, etc. Shampoo bowl 1 is placed on a pedestal (not shown) that rises from the installation surface. Shampoo bowl 1 is a substantially hemispherical bowl composed of a bottom 3 and a wall 4. A drain 14 is formed near the center of bottom 3, and a hot water stop valve 15 and a shower 19 that discharges hot water are installed inside wall 4.

[0027] The wall portion 4 is composed of a front side wall portion 5 on the front side, a rear side wall portion 6 opposite the front side wall portion 5, a left side wall portion 7 as the other side wall portion adjacent to the front side wall portion 5 and the rear side wall portion 6, a right side wall portion 8 as one side wall portion opposite the left side wall portion 7 and adjacent to the front side wall portion 5 and the rear side wall portion 6, a left corner portion 9 as the other side corner which is the corner between the rear side wall portion 6 and the left side wall portion 7, and a right corner portion 10 as one side corner which is the corner between the rear side wall portion 6 and the right side wall portion 8.

[0028] The front side wall 5 is recessed to form a recess 11 which is formed lower than other parts of the wall 4 (the rear side wall 6, the left side wall 7, and the right side wall 8). A neck rest 2 is attached to the recess 11. The neck of the person to be treated is placed on the neck rest 2, and the head of the person to be treated is placed above the bottom 3. The right corner 10 has a right corner upper surface 12 which is a flat upper surface, and a first piping member 16 is attached to this right corner upper surface 12.

[0029] The first piping member 16 is L-shaped with the base pipe portion 17 connected perpendicularly or nearly perpendicularly. The base pipe portion 17 rises upward from the right corner upper surface portion 12 and is connected to the upstream side surface of the first piping member 16. The axis of the first piping member 16 is directed toward the front side wall portion 5 and toward the right side wall portion 8. In other words, the axis of the first piping member 16 is directed toward the front side wall portion 5 and slightly toward the right side wall portion 8, and is oriented at an angle. Since the base pipe portion 17 is fixed to the right corner upper surface portion 12, the orientation of the first piping member 16 does not change. The second piping member 18 is connected to the downstream end of the first piping member 16.

[0030] The second piping member 18 is straight, and the first piping member 16 is connected to its upstream side surface. The axis of the second piping member 18 is directed toward the left side wall portion 7, and the second piping member 18 is rotatable relative to the first piping member 16. A shower hose 20 is connected to the downstream end of the second piping member 18. The shower hose 20 is, for example, a rubber tube or a flexible tube, and is freely bent in response to the operation of a practitioner (not shown). The shower hose 20 is rotatable relative to the second piping member 18. A shower head 21 is connected to the downstream end of the shower hose 20.

[0031] Showerhead 21 has a water outlet 22 with a number of holes formed therein from which hot and cold water is discharged. Showerhead 21 is located in the left corner 9. Left corner 9 has a left corner upper surface 13 which is a flat upper surface, and stopcock 15 is attached to this left corner upper surface 13. Showerhead 21 is attached to stopcock 15 via support member 25. Showerhead 21 is attached to support member 25 with water outlet 22 facing bottom 3 (see FIG. 3). Showerhead 21 can be freely removed from support member 25 (see FIG. 4).

[0032] Here, the support member 25 will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0033] 6 to 9, the support member 25 is formed by bending and punching a thin plate-like member. The support member 25 has a stop valve mounting portion 26 that is attached to the stop valve 15, a shower head mounting portion 28 connected to the stop valve mounting portion 26, and a connecting portion 35 that connects the stop valve mounting portion 26 and the shower head mounting portion 28. The stop valve mounting portion 26 and the shower head mounting portion 28 are arranged in a staggered manner via the connecting portion 35 and extend in opposite directions. The stop valve mounting portion 26 is annular and has a hole 27 through which the stop valve 15 is passed. The connecting portion 35 is connected to the front end of the stop valve mounting portion 26 at a right angle to the stop valve mounting portion 26.

[0034] The stopcock mounting portion 26 is connected to the lower end of the connecting portion 35 at a right angle, and the shower head mounting portion 28 is connected to the upper end of the connecting portion 35 at a right angle.

[0035] The shower head mounting portion 28 has a base support portion 29 connected to a connecting portion 35, a water-outlet portion support portion 31 extending toward the front from the base support portion 29, and a pressing portion 34 extending upward from the boundary or near the boundary between the water-outlet portion support portion 31 and the base support portion 29.

[0036] A locking piece 30 is connected to the end of the base support part 29. The locking piece 30 extends diagonally to the right and towards the front, with its tip extending diagonally upward. The water spouting part support part 31 extends diagonally from the base support part 29 towards the left and towards the front, and is curved counterclockwise. A semicircular storage space 32 is formed inside the water spouting part support part 31. The pressing part 34 extends upward, bends at the end, and extends diagonally to the right and towards the front. A clamping space 33 is formed between the water spouting part support part 31 and the base support part 29 and the pressing part 34.

[0037] The support member 25 configured as described above is attached by having the stop valve 15 passed through the hole 27 of the stop valve attachment portion 26 and being sandwiched between the stop valve 15 and the left corner upper surface portion 13. The connection portion 35 faces the front side of the stop valve 15, and the shower head attachment portion 28 extends toward the front side. When the shower head 21 is passed through the clamping space 33, the base portion 23 between the water discharge portion 22 and the shower hose 20 is supported from below by the base support portion 29 and locked by the locking piece 30, and the head upper surface portion 24, which is the side of the shower head 21 opposite the water discharge portion 22, is held down by the pressing portion 34, and when the water discharge portion 22 of the shower head 21 is passed through the accommodation space 32, the water discharge portion 22 is supported from all around by the water discharge portion support portion 31. That is, shower head 21 is attached to support member 25 by being supported at three points by base support portion 29, pressing portion 34, and water discharge portion support portion 31.

[0038] In the shower piping structure for a shampoo bowl configured as described above, as shown in Fig. 5, the first piping member 16, the second piping member 18, the shower hose 20, the shower head 21 and the support member 25 are stored inside the shampoo bowl 1 below the upper end of the wall 4, or even if they slightly protrude from the upper end of the wall 4, they are stored inside the shampoo bowl 1 below the top of the neck rest 2. The shower hose 20 extends from each of the piping members 16, 18 inside the shampoo bowl 1, so it is not exposed to the outside of the shampoo bowl 1. In addition, the shower hose 20 is sufficiently long because it hangs down to the extent that it touches the bottom 3 from the right corner 10 to the left corner 9 and extends along the back wall 6 (see Fig. 3).

[0039] The present embodiment is configured as described above. Next, the effects of the present embodiment will be described.

[0040] As described above, in this embodiment, the shower hose 20 extends from each of the piping members 16, 18 attached to the right corner 10 inside the shampoo bowl 1, and is not exposed to the outside of the shampoo bowl 1 (see FIG. 1). This provides an excellent aesthetic appearance. In addition, water that runs down the shower hose 20 does not flow outside the shampoo bowl 1, so the floor and the clothes of the person being treated will not get wet or dirty. The shower hose 20 hangs down from the right corner 10 to the left corner 9 to the extent that it touches the bottom 3 and extends along the back wall 6, so it is sufficiently long (see FIG. 3). Therefore, the practitioner can operate the shower head 21 as intended and can apply the shower 19 to the head of the person being treated from any direction.

[0041] In this embodiment, the axis of the second piping member 18 faces the left side wall portion 7 and is rotatable relative to the first piping member 16, making the shower 19 easy to use. Furthermore, the shower hose 20 is rotatable relative to the second piping member 18, making the shower 19 even more easy to use.

[0042] In this embodiment, the axis of the first piping member 16 is directed toward the front side wall portion 5 and toward the right side wall portion 8, thereby increasing the range of motion of the shower hose 20 and making it easier for the practitioner to operate the shower head 21.

[0043] In this embodiment, the base 23 of the shower head 21 is supported from below by the base support part 29, so the shower head 21 will not come off the support member 25 and fall to the bottom 3. In particular, the base 23 is locked by the locking piece 30 of the base support part 29, and the clamping space 33 is narrowed by this locking piece 30, so the shower head 21 will not come off the support member 25 unintentionally due to contact with a part of the body of the therapist or the person being treated, or due to the water pressure of the shower, etc. In addition, the head top part 24 of the shower head 21 is pressed by the pressing part 34, so that it is pressed from the opposite direction to the direction of the force acting by the water pressure of the shower, and the shower head 21 will not come off the support member 25 even due to the water pressure of the shower. In addition, the water discharge part 22 is supported from all around by the water discharge part support part 31, so the shower head 21 will not come off the support member 25 and fall to the bottom 3. In this way, shower head 21 is attached to support member 25 by being supported at three points by base support portion 29, presser portion 34, and water spouting portion support portion 31. Therefore, shower head 21 is supported firmly.

[0044] In this embodiment, shower head 21 is attached to support member 25 with water discharger 22 facing bottom 3 (see FIG. 3). Therefore, there is a sufficient gap between water discharger 22 and the surface of the hot and cold water stored in shampoo bowl 1.

[0045] In this embodiment, the first piping member 16, the second piping member 18, the shower hose 20, the shower head 21 and the support member 25 are stored inside the shampoo bowl 1 below the upper end of the wall portion 4, or even if they slightly protrude from the upper end of the wall portion 4, they are stored inside the shampoo bowl 1 below the top of the neck rest 2 (see FIG. 5). From an external perspective, the members 16, 18, 20, 21 and 25 fit inside the shampoo bowl 1 without taking up too much space, realizing an excellent aesthetic appearance.

[0046] However, in another embodiment of the present invention, the second piping member does not rotate relative to the first piping member. In other embodiments, the shampoo bowl does not have a recess formed therein. In other embodiments, there is no neck rest, in which case the recipient's neck rests directly on the front wall of the shampoo bowl. In other embodiments, the first piping member is oriented directly in front of the front sidewall and not toward the right sidewall. In another embodiment, the first piping member does not have a base pipe portion, but rises from the upper surface portion at the right corner and curves toward the front side. In another embodiment, the orientation of the first piping member is changed by rotating the base pipe portion. In other embodiments, the location of the stopcock is anywhere between the right corner and the left corner. In another embodiment, the support member is attached directly to the left corner without the stopcock. In another embodiment, the first piping member is attached to the left corner and the showerhead is located at the right corner. In other embodiments, the support member supports the showerhead in any orientation. In other embodiments, the support member does not have a retainer portion. In other embodiments, the support member does not have a spout support portion. In other embodiments, the support member does not have a base support. In other embodiments, the support member does not have a locking tab. Other embodiments do not include a support member. In another embodiment, the first piping member, the second piping member, the shower hose, the shower head and the support member protrude above the upper surface of the wall or the top of the neck rest.
