DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0008] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In this specification and the drawings, components having substantially the same functional configurations are denoted by the same reference numerals, and duplicated explanations will be omitted.

[0009] <First embodiment> (Overall composition) First, the configuration of the bathing equipment according to this embodiment will be described. Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the bathing equipment according to this embodiment, and Fig. 2 is an exploded perspective view thereof. Fig. 3 is a plan view showing the ring-shaped body of the bathing equipment. As shown in Fig. 1, the bathing equipment 1 according to this embodiment includes a bag body 10 and a ring-shaped body 20 that can be attached and detached to the bag body 10.

[0010] (Bag body 10) As shown in Fig. 2, the bag 10 is a bag-like object that has an opening 11 on one side in the longitudinal direction and is closed on the other side, and can store source water such as hot spring water that contains ingredients that are beneficial to the body. Hereinafter, one side will be referred to as the upper side and the other side as the lower side as appropriate. The bag 10 is detachably connected to the ring-shaped body 20 so that the opening 11 and the internal space communicate with the hollow part of the ring-shaped body 20. In this embodiment, the bag 10 is attached to the ring-shaped body 20 by being wrapped around the ring-shaped body 20, and the details of this attachment method will be described later.

[0011] The bag 10 is used by immersing it in a bathtub filled with hot water and by the user entering inside it, and therefore is preferably made of a resin material such as polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride, which is flexible, strong, and has excellent thermal conductivity and watertightness. Other examples include cloth fabrics such as waterproof-coated nonwoven fabrics. The size of the bag 10 is arbitrary, but it is preferable that the content volume is smaller than the bathtub and that the user's entire body can fit inside it. Examples of such sizes include a thickness of 30 μm, a vertical length of 1200 mm, and a horizontal length of 1100 mm.

[0012] The bag body 10 is provided with a first anti-slip part 12a on the outer peripheral surface near the periphery of the opening 11, and a second anti-slip part 12b is provided below the first anti-slip part 12a, specifically on the approximately central outer peripheral surface of the bag body 10. Hereinafter, when there is no need to distinguish between these, they will be referred to as the anti-slip part 12. The anti-slip part 12 can increase the frictional force between the bag body 10 and the abutting member. Therefore, the first anti-slip part 12a can prevent the bag body 10 from slipping on the annular body 20 when the bag body 10 is attached to the annular body 20 and in the attached state. On the other hand, the second anti-slip part 12b can prevent the bag body 10 from slipping on the bathtub bottom when the user enters the bag body 10, and thus prevent the user from falling. Examples of the method of providing the anti-slip part 12 include printing an anti-slip ink, which is a paint with high friction resistance, for example, in a dot pattern. Other examples include a method of providing a member with high friction resistance, such as an elastic member such as rubber, and a method of attaching an anti-slip sheet. From the viewpoints of ease of production and cost, the method of printing the anti-slip ink on the bag body is preferable. The anti-slip portion 12 may be provided around the entire circumference of the bag body 10, and may be provided only at the portion of the bag body 10 that comes into contact with another member.

[0013] A hollow discharge member 13 for discharging the stored spring water to the outside is provided near the lower end of the bag body 10. A cap 131 is detachably attached to the discharge member 13. The source water can be stored in the bag body 10 by attaching the cap 131 to the discharge member 13, and the source water can be discharged from the discharge member 13 by removing the cap 131 from the discharge member 13. The discharge member 13 may be welded to the bag body 10 in advance, but it is preferable to configure it so that it can be detached from the bag body 10 so that it can be repeatedly used, such as by removing it when discarding the bag body 10 and attaching it to another bag. As an example of such a configuration, there is a method in which the discharge member 13 is configured by an approximately cylindrical external discharge part located outside the bag body 10 and attached with the cap 131, and an approximately cylindrical internal discharge part located inside the bag body 10. In this case, when attaching the discharge member 13 to the bag body 10, a hole is drilled in the attachment portion, the external discharge portion is positioned outside the hole portion, and the internal discharge portion is attached by fitting or screwing it to the external discharge portion from the inside of the bag body 10.

[0014] (Annular body 20) As shown in Fig. 3, the annular body 20 is generally formed in a ring shape so as to define a hollow portion. The annular body 20 has a ring-shaped core material 211 having rigidity and strength, and the peripheral surface of the core material 211 is surrounded by a flexible covering member 212. Note that the core material 211 may be any material having rigidity and strength, and is preferably made of a resin material. The covering member 212 may be any material having flexibility, and is preferably made of a foam material.

[0015] The ring-shaped body 20 is formed by connecting multiple arc-shaped cylindrical members 21 as shown in Fig. 3, and these cylindrical members 21 can be attached and detached by fitting their ends together. Therefore, when the bathing equipment 1 is not in use, the ring-shaped body 20 can be removed from the bag body 10 and separated into multiple cylindrical members 21 to make it compact. This makes it easy to carry and also saves space when stored.

[0016] The ring-shaped body 20 according to this embodiment is formed such that the outer diameter of the ring (hereinafter referred to as the outer diameter of the ring-shaped body 20) is longer than the length between the inner walls perpendicular to the short side direction of the bathtub (hereinafter referred to as the short side width), so that a part of the ring-shaped body 20 is placed on the edge of the bathtub, specifically, is supported at two points on the edge. In this state, the ring-shaped body 20 can support the bag body 10 so that only the attached bag body 10 is submerged in the bathtub. The outer diameter of the ring-shaped body 20 is larger than the diameter of the opening 11, that is, the outer periphery of the ring-shaped body 20 is preferably formed longer than the periphery of the opening 11 of the bag body 10, considering the attachment of the bag body 10 to the ring-shaped body 20 described later. The difference in the periphery is appropriate, but may be about several percent. For example, if the outer diameter of the ring-shaped body 20 is 730 mm (periphery length 2290 mm) with a difference of about 4%, the periphery of the bag body 10 is 2200 mm.

[0017] (Installation method) A method of attaching the bag body 10 to the ring-shaped body 20 will be described. FIG. 4 is a schematic vertical cross-sectional view of the vicinity of the ring-shaped body of the bathing equipment in which the bag body and the ring-shaped body are attached. When attaching the bag body 10 to the ring-shaped body 20, first, the vicinity of the peripheral portion of the opening 11 of the bag body 10 is inserted into the hollow portion of the ring-shaped body 20. After the insertion, as shown in FIG. 4, the peripheral portion of the opening 11 is folded back from the inner side to the outer side so as to roll up the ring-shaped body 20. The amount of folding back may be about 200 mm. As described above, although the outer diameter of the ring-shaped body 20 is formed to be larger than the diameter of the opening 11, the bag body 10 is stretched when folded back, and the covering member 212 is compressed when the ring-shaped body 20 is rolled up, so that the folding back of the peripheral portion of the opening 11 can be realized. This folding back may be performed in sequence from one part along the circumferential direction, and the folding back length may be about 200 mm.

[0018] By this folding, even if the bag body 10 is pulled downward, the frictional force between the covering member 212 and the bag body 10 in the stretched state is generated around the entire circumference of the annular body 20, so that the bag body 10 and the annular body 20 do not easily separate. Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 4, the covering member 212 and the first non-slip part 12a come into contact with each other, so that the frictional force generated between them is extremely high and it is possible to reliably prevent unintended separation. When separating the bag body 10 from the annular body 20 for replacement or the like, it is very simple to fold back the vicinity of the peripheral part of the folded opening 11 from a part thereof toward the inner side of the annular body 20, and this is done in order along the circumferential direction.

[0019] (How to use) The method of using the bathing equipment 1 will be described. Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 are a schematic plan view and a schematic vertical cross-sectional view for explaining the method of using the bathing equipment according to this embodiment. In Fig. 6, for the purpose of explanation, the bathing equipment 1, the bathtub 3, and the foldable cover member 5 for the bathtub are shown in vertical cross section. When using the bathing equipment 1, as shown in Fig. 5, the ring-shaped body 20 is first placed on the edge 31 of the bathtub 3. As described above, the ring-shaped body 20 has an outer diameter longer than the width of the short side of the bathtub 3, so it will not slide down into the bathtub 3. Next, hot water is poured into the bathtub 3. The amount of hot water is appropriate, but it is sufficient to fill the bathtub 3 with about 60% of the water, taking into consideration the amount of spring water to be supplied into the bag body 10 and the volume of the user. After filling the bathtub with hot water, the spring water stored in the storage box 4 such as a bag-in-box is supplied into the hollow part of the ring-shaped body 20, i.e., into the bag body 10, as shown in Fig. 6. Water may be supplied by placing the storage box 4 on the cover member 5 as shown in Fig. 6, or by supplying water from outside the bathroom using a hose. If the amount of water supplied here is, for example, about 30 L to 40 L, the user H can be sufficiently immersed in the spring water.

[0020] After being supplied, the spring water is heated by heat exchange with the hot water in the bathtub 3 through the bag 10. At this time, if the bathtub has a reheating function, the water can be heated using the reheating function, and the temperature of the hot water from the spring water will not drop. After that, as shown in Figure 6, the user enters the ring-shaped body 20 and can soak only in the spring water filled in the bag 10. At this time, the user H can take a sitting position on the second anti-slip part 12b of the bag 10, which prevents the bag 10 from slipping on the bottom of the bathtub 3 when entering or exiting the bag 10 or when sitting on it, thereby preventing the user H from falling over.

[0021] A method of draining the spring water in the bathing equipment 1 after bathing will be described. FIG. 7 is a schematic vertical cross-sectional view for explaining a method of draining the spring water of the bathing equipment according to this embodiment. In FIG. 7, the bathing equipment 1 and the bathtub 3 are shown in vertical cross-section for the purpose of explanation. As shown in FIG. 7, first, the hot water in the bathtub 3 is pumped out to reduce the amount of hot water to a certain extent. For example, if there is a reheating outlet, a water level lower than that can be used as a guide. Next, the cap 131 of the drain member 13 is removed to fluidly communicate the inside of the bag body 10 and the inside of the bathtub 3. Then, the ring-shaped body 20 is gradually lifted to mix the spring water in the bag body 10 with the hot water in the bathtub 3. After the spring water in the bag body 10 is drained, the drain plug of the bathtub 3 is removed. As described above, the bathing equipment 1 can be easily removed.

[0022] It is also possible to drain the spring water from the bathtub drain without pumping out the hot water from the bathtub 3. For example, the hot water from the bathtub 3 can be drained by removing the drain plug of the bathtub 3 while being careful not to get the bag 10 caught in it, and after the amount of hot water has decreased to a certain extent, the cap 131 of the drain member 13 can be removed, and the inside of the bag 10 and the inside of the bathtub 3 can be fluidly connected to drain the spring water from the bag 10 and the hot water from the bathtub 3 from the bathtub drain.

[0023] According to the embodiment described above, since the bag body 10 is detachable from the ring-shaped body 20, even if one of the bag body 10 and the ring-shaped body 20 is soiled or damaged, only one of them needs to be replaced, which reduces costs and makes effective use of resources compared to when they are integrated. In addition, since the bag body 10 can be attached to and detached from the ring-shaped body 20 very easily, replacement and cleaning work are also easy. Furthermore, since the ring-shaped body 20 has a size that allows it to be placed on the edge of the bathtub 3, it is possible to prevent the ring-shaped body 20 from immersing in the bathtub 3 during use, and it is possible to reliably prevent the contents such as spring water in the bag body 10 from leaking into the bathtub 3 and the hot water in the bathtub 3 from mixing into the bag body 10. In addition, since the ring-shaped body 20 is at least larger than the width in the short side direction of the internal space of the bathtub 3, it does not hinder the user H from entering the bag body 10.

[0024] In addition, compared to the bathing equipment shown in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, it is easy to use and operate without the trouble of inflating the float. Furthermore, since the cross-sectional diameter 21d of the arc part of the cylindrical member 21 of the ring-shaped body 20 is smaller than that of the float, it can be easily stored without being separated from the cylindrical member 21 when not in use.

[0025] Hereinafter, a means for preventing the bag body 10 from falling off from the annular body 20 will be described as a modification of this embodiment.

[0026] (First Modification) FIG. 8 is a schematic vertical cross-sectional view of the vicinity of the annular body of the bathing equipment according to this modification. As shown in FIG. 8, the bathing equipment according to this modification has a band-shaped fastener 22 such as a cable tie that wraps around the folded-back portion of the bag body 10 and the annular body 20, thereby preventing the bag body 10 from falling off from the annular body 20. Specifically, a pair of slit holes spaced apart in the vertical direction are drilled in the bag body 10 near the periphery of the opening 11 of the bag body 10, and the fastener 22 is inserted into the pair of slit holes 14, respectively, and wrapped around the annular body 20 so as to sandwich the bag body 10 therebetween, and both ends of the fastener 22 are connected to each other. Note that it is preferable that the connection of both ends of the fastener 22 is realized by, for example, a hook-and-loop fastener. The fastener 22 may be a clip or the like other than a cable tie.

[0027] (Second Modification) FIG. 9 is a schematic side view showing the bathing tool according to this modification, and FIG. 10 is a schematic vertical cross-sectional view of the vicinity of the annular body. For the sake of explanation, the anti-slip part 12 is not shown in FIG. 9. As shown in FIG. 9, the bathing tool according to this modification has a string member 6 longer than the circumferential length of the bag body 10 attached in a ring shape around the entire circumference of the upper end of the bag body 10. Specifically, the string member 6 is positioned at the upper end of the bag body 10, and the peripheral portion is folded back so as to wrap the string member 6, so that it is clamped by the bag body 10 as shown in FIG. 10. Note that both ends of the string member 6 are exposed to the outside from slits formed in the folded back portion of the bag body 10, and can be fixed to the stopper 61 by being inserted into the stopper 61 and locked.

[0028] By pulling both ends of the string member 6 through the stopper 61, the end of the bag body 10 can be squeezed to reduce its diameter to a value smaller than the outer diameter of the annular body 20. Therefore, the end of the bag body 10 has a diameter that the annular body 20 cannot pass through, so that the bag body 10 can be prevented from falling off the annular body 20. On the other hand, by releasing the lock of the stopper 61 and loosening the squeezing by the string member 6, the annular body 20 can be easily removed from the bag body 10. The folded-back portion of the bag body 10 around which the string member 6 is wrapped may be adhered with an adhesive such as an adhesive or tape, or may be heat-welded.

[0029] (Third Modification) Fig. 11 is a schematic side view showing the upper end of the bag of the bathing equipment according to this modification, and Fig. 12 is a schematic side view showing the state in which a string member is attached to the upper end. As shown in Fig. 11, the bathing equipment according to this modification has a pair of upper and lower holes 15 spaced apart in the vertical direction at the upper end of the bag 10, which are connected in the circumferential direction. The upper end of the bag 10 is folded downward so that the pair of upper and lower holes 15 overlap each other, and as shown in Fig. 12, the string member 6 is interposed between them, and the string member 6 is inserted in a manner of sewing through the multiple holes 15 adjacent in the circumferential direction, so that the string member 6 is attached in a ring shape around the entire upper end of the bag 10 as in the second modification. This allows the same function as the second modification to be achieved.

[0030] (Fourth Modification) Fig. 13 is a schematic side view showing the upper end of the bag of the bathing equipment according to this modification, and Fig. 14 is a schematic side view showing the state in which the string member is attached to the cylindrical member. As shown in Fig. 13, the bathing equipment according to this modification has a plurality of cylindrical members 16 attached along the circumferential direction of the upper end of the bag 10. As shown in Fig. 14, in a state in which the upper end of the bag 10 is folded back together with the plurality of cylindrical members 16, the string member 6 is inserted into the cylindrical members 16, so that the string member 6 is attached in a ring shape around the entire circumference of the upper end of the bag 10 via the cylindrical members 16. This allows the same function as the second modification to be achieved.

[0031] It goes without saying that the above-described modified example can prevent the bag body 10 from falling off the annular body 20 even if the circumferential length of the bag body 10 is longer than the outer circumferential length of the annular body 20. In addition, in this embodiment, the annular body 20 is described as being ring-shaped, but this is not limited thereto, and any shape may be used as long as the bag body 10 can be attached, including polygonal shapes such as triangles and rectangles, and ellipses.

[0032] Also, a hollow hose may be attached to the discharge member 13 without providing the cap 131. Specifically, one end of the hose is fluidly connected to the discharge member 13, and a closure member capable of opening and closing the hose tip opening, such as a pincock, is provided at the other end. In this way, when discharging the source water, the source water in the bag body 10 can be discharged using the siphon principle by opening the closure member.

[0033] <Second embodiment> In the first embodiment, the ring-shaped body 20 placed on the edge 31 of the bathtub 3 is movable on the upper surface of the edge 31, so the bathing equipment 1 is in a freely movable state. Therefore, if unintended movement occurs, the user H may not be able to enter the bag body 10 properly. In this embodiment, a bathing equipment whose movement can be restricted will be described.

[0034] Fig. 15 is a schematic top view showing the ring-shaped body of the bathing equipment according to this embodiment, and Fig. 16 is a schematic vertical cross-sectional view for explaining how to use the bathing equipment according to this embodiment. As shown in Fig. 15, the bathing equipment 1A according to this embodiment is newly equipped with a fixing member 23 compared to the bathing equipment 1 according to the first embodiment.

[0035] The fixing member 23 has a clip structure that can hold and release a part of the ring-shaped body 20 by pinching it from above and below, and therefore can be easily attached and detached from the ring-shaped body 20. The fixing member 23 has a suction cup 231 attached to its outer side. As shown in FIG. 16, when using the bathing equipment 1A, the suction cup 231 can be attached to the wall surface 7 of the bathroom to fix it to the wall surface 7. This allows the ring-shaped body 20 to be placed on the edge 31 of the bathtub 3, and the fixing member 23 to be fixed to the wall surface 7 to restrict the movement of the bathing equipment 1A, thereby preventing the bathing equipment 1A from moving when the user H enters the bag body 10.

[0036] <Third embodiment> In the first embodiment, it has been described that the spring water is supplied directly from the storage box 4 into the bag 10 and is discharged from the drainage member 13, but this is not limited to this. In the present embodiment, a bathing tool that can perform such supply and drainage using a dedicated tool will be described.

[0037] Fig. 17 is a schematic vertical cross-sectional view for explaining the configuration of the bathing equipment according to this embodiment and the method of supplying the spring water to the bag. Fig. 18 is a schematic vertical cross-sectional view for explaining the method of discharging the spring water from the bag in the bathing equipment according to this embodiment. As shown in Fig. 17, the bathing equipment 1B according to this embodiment is not provided with a drainage member 13 compared to the bathing equipment 1 according to the first embodiment. The spring water is supplied and drained by the water supply and drainage fixture 8.

[0038] The water supply and drainage equipment 8 has a first conduit 81 and a second conduit 82, and is a so-called kerosene pump that utilizes the siphon principle to suck liquid from the first conduit 81 by performing operations such as repeated compression by a pump 83, and introduces the sucked liquid into the second conduit 82 and discharges it from the second conduit 82. The tip of the first conduit 81 is provided with a connecting part 811 that can be watertightly fitted or screwed into the supply port 41 of the storage box 4 so as to be freely detachable.

[0039] When the source water is supplied into the bag body 10 using such a water supply and drainage fixture 8, the process is mainly the same as that of the first embodiment, but the process of supplying the source water from the storage box 4 into the bag body 10 is different. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15, the storage box 4 is first positioned at a position above the annular body 20, the connection part 811 of the first conduit 81 is connected to the supply port 41 of the storage box 4, and the second conduit 82 is inserted into the bag body 10. After the insertion, the source water in the storage box 4 can be sucked from the supply port 41 by operating the pump 83, and discharged from the second conduit 82 into the bag body 10. On the other hand, when discharging the source water from the bag body 10, the source water can be discharged by inserting the first conduit 81 into the source water, positioning the tip of the second conduit 82 below the connection part 811 of the first conduit 81, and operating the pump 83 without discharging the hot water in the bathtub 3. Therefore, by using the water supply and drainage fixture 8, the supply and drainage of spring water can be carried out extremely easily.

[0040] The embodiments of the present invention are presented as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. These novel embodiments can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, substitutions, and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. These embodiments and their modifications are included in the scope and spirit of the invention, and are included in the scope of the invention and its equivalents described in the claims.
