Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a box-type sauna bath that is used by being installed in a household bathroom or the like.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As this type of box-type sauna bath, for example, as shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, there is one that can be reduced when not in use and the installation space is narrowed. The front box 3 is attached to the front side of the rear box 2 constituting the open front sauna bath room, and the front box 3 includes a front panel 32 having an entrance door 31 and an inner surface of the front panel 32. From a ceiling panel 33 and a floor panel 34 projecting from the top and bottom toward the upper and lower parts of the rear box 2, and left and right side panels 60 that connect the left and right ends of the front panel 32 and the rear box 2 via hinge members 36. It is configured.
[0003]
Each of the left and right side panels 60 has two front and rear panels 60a and 60b connected to each other via a hinge member 36 so as to be foldable inward, and the left and right side panels 60 are folded inward for reduction. Thus, the front panel 32 can be disposed close to the front side of the rear box 2, and a flat folded state of the front box 3 can be obtained.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the conventional box-type sauna bath in which a part of the left and right side panels 60 is folded inward, the left and right side panels 60 are folded twice, so that there is a limitation in shortening in the depth direction. There was a problem that it was easy to stretch.
[0005]
Further, the sealing member for preventing heated air or steam from leaking out of the sauna bath room is a joint between the front end of the side panel 60 and the left and right ends of the front panel 32, and the rear end and rear box of the side panel 60. It is necessary to apply not only to the joint portion with 2 but also to the fold of the side panel 60, and there is a waste that the number of hinge members is increased by the increase of the joint portion.
[0006]
Further, when the auxiliary equipment is assembled inside the front panel 32, there are disadvantages such as the folding operation into the left and right side panels 60 and interference of the auxiliary equipment. In recent years, such problems have been solved. There is a demand for a convenient box-type sauna bath to be used.
[0007]
This invention is made in view of the said situation, and it aims at providing the box type sauna bath which can aim at reduction of the number of sealing members, the number of hinge members, and reduction of these assembly steps. It is a thing.
[0008]
The present invention also provides a box-type sauna bath that can be reduced in bulk in a reduced state (thinned in the depth direction), made compact, and can reduce the installation space when not in use. It is aimed.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The box-type sauna bath according to the present invention includes a rear box constituting an open front sauna bath room and an expandable / contractible front box attached to the front side of the rear box.
[0010]
The front box has a front panel having an entrance door and left and right side panels of a double door type, and the front panel has a ceiling panel and a floor panel from above and below the inner surface of the rear box. Protruding toward.

The left and right side panels close to the rear box so as to be aligned with the front side of the front panel in the rear storage position at the center of the left and right, and are positioned on the respective front extension lines of the left and right side panels of the rear box. Thus, it is pivotally mounted so as to be openable and closable over an open posture that opens to one side and closes both the left and right sides between the front panel and the rear box in the front open position.
[0013]
In the box type sauna bath, in order to automatically open the front panel, an opening urging means that constantly urges the front panel to move toward the front opening position, and the front panel to the rear storage position. It is preferable to provide a magnet latch device for holding.
[0014]
[Action]
When using the box-type sauna bath of the present invention, the left and right side panels are opened to one side so as to be positioned on the respective front extension lines of the left and right side panels of the rear box.
[0015]
The front panel is then moved to a front open position that pulls the ceiling panel and floor panel forward from within the rear box.
[0016]
Thereby, the left and right side panels are in an open posture that closes both the left and right sides between the front panel and the rear box in the front opening position, and the space of the sauna bath room in the rear box extends forward and expands, Spacious and easy to use.
[0017]
