Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a hot water bottle.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In general, hot water bottles are used for heating when sleeping in winter. This hot water bottle has a metal or plastic sealed container, and a pouring port provided on the upper part of the container is closed using a cap that can be freely opened and closed. And, by pouring hot water into the container from the pouring port and closing the cap, the heating effect is exhibited for a long time.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, the conventional hot water bottle is shaped so as to have a substantially oval shape in a side view so as to be stably placed on a bed or the like. Therefore, for example, when the user wants to warm his / her feet in a posture in which the user sits on a chair with the hot water bottle placed on the floor surface, the user's feet are placed in an unstable position and the usability becomes poor.
[0004]
Usually, the hot water bottle is used only in the winter, and is often stored in a season other than the winter. Therefore, the current situation is that the frequency of use is low and it is not effectively used.
[0005]
The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and provides a hot water bottle that has improved usability compared to the prior art and that can be used for other purposes than heating, and has increased added value. For the purpose.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention adopts the following configuration in order to solve the above problems.
That is, the hot water bottle according to the invention of claim 1 is provided with a depression for footrest and a protrusion for acupressure on the upper surface of the hot water bottle main body, and a part of the lower surface of the hot water bottle main body is extended upward. It is characterized in that a support part is provided in the proximity of the protrusion part with a slight gap provided on the inner surface side of the protrusion part.
[0007]
With such a configuration, even if the posture is sitting on a chair, the place where the feet are placed is stabilized and the usability is improved. In addition, since the protrusion can be used for shiatsu without injecting hot water into the hot water bottle, it can be used as a kind of health appliance, increasing the added value.
[0009]
Further, with such a configuration, even if the weight of the user is greatly added to the shiatsu protrusion on the top plate of the hot water bottle body and the protrusion is elastically deformed inward, the support portion is close to the inner surface side of the protrusion. Since they are opposed to each other, it is prevented that the protrusion and the hot water bottle main body are unexpectedly deformed by abutting and supporting the support portion.
[0010]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[Embodiment 1]
FIG. 1 is a top view showing an outer shape of a hot water bottle according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side view of its long side, FIG. 3 is a side view of its short side, and FIG. 5 is a long side sectional view taken along line WW in FIG. 1, FIG. 6 is a short side sectional view taken along line XX in FIG. 1, and FIG. 7 is YY in FIG. It is a short side sectional view along a line.
[0011]
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, the hot water bottle 1 according to the first embodiment is made of metal or plastic into which hot water is injected, specifically, aluminum alloy, polyethylene, or the like. A hot water bottle main body 2 which is a sealed container is provided. A pouring port 3 is provided at one end of the upper surface 2a of the hot water bottle main body 2 having a predetermined thickness, and a cap (not shown) is screwed into the pouring port 3.
[0012]
Further, the upper surface plate 2a, which is the upper surface portion of the hot water bottle main body 2, is provided with a pair of left and right recesses 4 and a pair of shiatsu protrusions 5. In this case, the center part of the recessed part 4 for foot placement is formed on a flat surface so as to match the size of the sole. Moreover, the protrusion part for acupressure is a hemispherical thing, and is formed in the magnitude | size which does not make a user feel pain. And in this Embodiment 1, although a pair of projection part 5 is each arrange | positioned near the center position of the hot water bottle main body 2, and a recessed part in the outer position of the projection part 5, not only this but the recessed part 4 and protrusion The position where the part 5 is provided can be arbitrarily selected as necessary.
[0013]
Here, when the hot water bottle 1 filled with hot water is placed on the floor and the user wants to warm his feet in a sitting or sleeping position, for example, in FIG. 1 and FIGS. As shown, if the foot 7 is placed on each of the recesses 4 of the hot water bottle main body 2, the hot water bottle 1 can be used for heating the feet in winter.
[0014]
Furthermore, as shown in phantom lines in FIGS. 5 and 7, if the back 8 of the body or the back of the foot 7 is pressed against the protrusion 5 of the hot water bottle 1 placed on the floor surface, the season can be changed. In addition, since the points on the back 8 and the soles of the feet 7 can be stimulated, a massage effect can be obtained. In such a state of use, hot water may be poured into the hot water bottle main body 2, but hot water may not be poured.
[0015]
[Embodiment 2]
FIG. 8 is a top view showing the outer shape of the hot water bottle in the second embodiment, FIG. 9 is a long side sectional view taken along the line ZZ in FIG. 8, and FIG. 10 is a bottom view showing the outer shape of the hot water bottle. Components corresponding to those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals.
[0016]
The hot water bottle 11 according to the second embodiment forms a support portion 12 by extending a part of the lower surface plate 2b, which is the lower surface portion of the hot water bottle body 2, upward, and this support portion 12 has a slight amount on the inner surface side of the projection portion 5. It has a structure in which a gap is provided to face each other.
[0017]
In this configuration, even if a large weight of the user is added to the hot water bottle main body 2 through the projection 5 and the projection 5 is elastically deformed inward, the top portion 12a of the support portion 12 is formed on the inner surface side of the projection 5. Since the two are in close proximity to each other, the inner surface 5a of the projection 5 is abutted and supported on the top 12a of the support 12 to prevent the projection 5 and the hot water bottle main body 2 from being unexpectedly deformed.
[0018]
Furthermore, the hot water bottle 11 according to the second embodiment is provided with uneven reinforcing ribs 13 by bending the lower surface plate 2b which is the lower surface portion of the hot water bottle main body 2. When such a reinforcing rib 13 is provided, the strength of the hot water bottle main body 2 is increased, and therefore, deformation is more difficult to occur, which is preferable.
[0019]
Other configurations and operational effects are the same as those of the first embodiment, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted here.
[0020]
【The invention's effect】
The present invention has the following effects.
The hot water bottle according to the first aspect of the present invention is provided with a recess for foot placement and a protrusion for acupressure on the upper surface of the hot water bottle body, so that the place where the foot is placed is stable even when sitting in a chair. , It improves usability. Further, since the protrusion can be used for shiatsu without injecting hot water into the hot water bottle, it can be used as a kind of health appliance, and the added value can be further increased.
[0021]
Further hot water bottle according to the present invention, since the support portion from a portion of the lower surface portion of the hot water Kiritanpo body is upwardly extending closely facing the inner surface of the protruding portion is formed, during use of the hot-water bottle, the user Even if a large body weight is added to the protrusion and the protrusion is slightly elastically deformed inward, the protrusion is supported by a support portion on the inner surface side, and the protrusion and the hot water bottle main body are unexpectedly deformed. It is prevented.
