DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a beauty room, and an object of the invention is to provide a beauty and health room using a koji room.

The beauty and health room according to the present invention comprises a steam bath and a koji room, and a culture containing the enzyme cultivated in the koji room is transported by air into the steam bath. The feature is that the bath temperature and the skin activation effect by the enzyme are achieved at the same time by keeping the contained temperature and humidity atmosphere and directly contacting the skin of the occupant with the enzyme at an appropriate temperature. A beauty room having such a koji room has not been found in the past.

Aspergillus oryzae and cultures fermented by this aspergillus are not only completely harmless to the human body, but have also been used in the food industry for miso, soy sauce, brewed liquor, etc. for a long time, and are typical examples of health foods. Fermentation products containing enzymes and various organic substances, which are the metabolites of Aspergillus oryzae, are not only harmless to the human body, but also act on the active beauty of the skin. You can Recently, it has become clear that enzymes produced by Aspergillus or koji acid affect the formation of pigments produced by melanocytes in human skin, and have a whitening effect and a therapeutic effect on spots and freckles. is there.

The growth environment of Aspergillus oryzae has a temperature of 27 to 30 ° C and a humidity of 70 to 80.
It is said that a temperature / humidity atmosphere of 10% is appropriate, and air conditioning in the koji room has a long history in Japan, and its empirical rule is utilized in many food industries. In the present invention,
A koji room having a temperature and humidity atmosphere necessary for the growth of koji mold is formed near the steam bath while making use of such empirical rules, and the culture (including fine powdered koji mold, koji mold, enzyme, etc.) is formed from the koji room. (Fermentation product) is introduced into the steam bath by air transfer. By injecting and suspending the culture in the steam bath, the room occupants can simultaneously enjoy the bathing effect and the skin activating effect by enzymes. It was made possible.

The contents of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the embodiments of the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a main part of a beauty room of the present invention, where 1 is a steam bath and 2 is a koji room formed under the floor. The steam bath 1 is a room having a closed space, and a steam spray nozzle 3 is attached to an appropriate place in the room. Further, an exhaust port 4 is provided in the ceiling portion, and an exhaust fan 5
The air in the room is forcibly exhausted from the ceiling portion through the exhaust port 4 by driving. In the example of FIG. 1, a part of the floor of the steam bath 1 is composed of a perforated plate 6, and a koji room 2 is constructed under the perforated plate 6.

The koji room 2 is a closed space in which the floor and the rear wall are partitioned by a heat insulating material, and the ceiling thereof is connected to the steam bath 1 through the perforated plate 6 so as to be ventilated. In the koji room 2, a koji shelf 8 is formed horizontally across the middle of the koji room 2.
Koji 9 is spread and spread. A stirring blade 10 for stirring the koji 9 in the koji rack 8 is attached, which is mechanically driven. Below the koji rack 8, an air header 12 having a large number of air injection ports 11 is installed. This air header
12 is connected to a humid air making machine 13. The steam from the steam 14 and the ambient air 15 are introduced into the humid air producing machine 13 to create air having an appropriate temperature and humidity, and also supply the air header 12 while controlling the air volume and its timer control. On the other hand, the steam source 14 is connected to the steam spray nozzle 3 of the steam bath 1 through the pipe 16.
At that time, it is adjusted to an appropriate temperature and pressure by the adjuster 17.

Precise air conditioning is required for the management of the koji room, and it is necessary to change the temperature of the koji and the humidity of the surrounding air appropriately according to the growth of mycelia. In the present invention, the temperature and humidity of the product are controlled by the temperature and humidity of the air supplied to the air header 12, and adjustment is made so that the koji grows well during the operating hours (bathing hours) of the steam bath 1. To do.

During the bathing time, the amount of air supplied from the air injection port 11 is increased and the well-developed koji 9 is stirred and stirred by the blades 10, while the fine koji (fine powder koji) (Culture) in the air. In order to assist this floating, a slit-shaped or mesh-shaped fine hole is provided on the bottom plate of the koji shelf 9, and an upward flow having an appropriate flow velocity is formed in the koji layer 9 through the fine hole to float the koji. The air injection port 11 itself can be provided in the vicinity of the koji layer 9, and the blowout flow thereof can cause the powdery culture to rise in the air. In addition, the agitation of koji during the bathing time promotes a fine powder separation effect that facilitates separation of the fine powdery culture from the koji, and a floating effect that floats the fine powder in the hollow.

The air supplied from the air injection port 11 into the koji chamber 2 enters the steam bath 1 through the porous floor plate 6 of the steam bath 1 in a substantially total amount. At that time, as described above, the pulverized culture is carried into the steam bath 1 along with the air. In the steam bath 1, steam having an appropriate bath temperature is filled from the steam spray nozzle 3, and the temperature of the rising airflow supplied from the koji chamber 2 through the floor plate 6 is preferably slightly lower than this steam temperature. As a result, the low-temperature air in which the culture is suspended easily stays near the bather existing near the bottom plate 6, and the culture easily attaches to the skin of the bather. On the other hand, the exhaust fan 5 exhausts the high-temperature air near the ceiling to the outside of the room. By adjusting the exhaust amount, the pressure and temperature / humidity inside the steam bath 1 are properly controlled. be able to.

FIG. 2 is a plan view showing an example of a beauty room of the present invention in which the beauty and health effects are further enhanced by providing a shower room and a bath, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line III-III. . In this example, a bather who has undressed is shower room 22 → bath room 23 in the process of moving from entrance 20 to exit 21.
→ Steam bath room 1 → Shower room 24 → Drying room 25 → Rest room
It will go through 26 in order. The steam bath 1 is an enzyme bath for a large number of people that adopts the same principle as in Fig. 1.
As shown in the sectional view of the figure, a koji room 2 is formed under the floor. That is, the floor of the steam bath 1 is a perforated plate 6, and a koji room 2 is formed immediately below the perforated bed 6, and a koji shelf in which koji 9 is piled up in the koji room 2 as in the case of FIG. 8
The culture of the koji 9 is made to float by the humidity-controlled air from the air injection port 11 which is supplied to the koji chamber 2, and this is carried from the porous bed 6 into the steam bath 1. A large number of sheets 27 that also serve as beds are installed on the porous floor 6, and for a bather who is lying or sitting on the sheets 27, steam is gently released from the steam injection nozzle 3 that is installed slightly diagonally above. And the air flow accompanied by the koji culture is gently blown up from the koji chamber 2 through the porous bed 6. Exhaust fan 5
Is operated, and a controlled amount of exhaust air is exhausted from the ceiling to the outside.

Before taking this steam bath 1, the bather first takes a shower in the shower room 22, and then the bath room 29 in the bath room 23
Enter 30. The bath temperature in the bath 29 is the normal bath temperature (eg 38-41).
Hot water maintained at (° C) is put into the bathtub 30, and low temperature hot water (for example, 25 to 30 ° C) is put into the bathtub 30. Then, the koji culture fermented in the koji chamber 2 is put into the hot water of the low temperature bath 30. Therefore, the koji culture adheres to the skin of the body warmed by entering the bath 30 after being warmed well in the hot bath 29. Then, this steamed koji culture remains attached to the steam bath 1, where the koji culture further adheres to the skin, and while staying in this state for 20 to 30 minutes,
Well-heated skin is affected by enzymes or koji acid. The bather who has undergone this treatment then goes out to the shower room 24 to wash off the adhering koji culture, and then enters the drying room 25 where the water adhering to the skin is air-dried and the rest room is set.
After taking the necessary break at 26, exit the exit 21 and finish the process. This series of operations can be carried out as a continuous treatment for a large number of bathers, and during this period, the state in which the koji is fermented well in the koji chamber 2 is maintained. In this example, the koji culture is fully utilized in both the steam bath 1 and the bath 30.

As described above, according to the present invention, the koji culture produced in the koji chamber can be directly bathed on the skin of the human body while maintaining its production state, and the bather has the same blood circulation as in the sauna bath. Since the bathing effect improves the effect of the enzyme, the action of the enzyme on the skin works well, and a beauty room with excellent beauty and health effects is provided.
