【従来の技術】
入浴時の半身浴用の椅子は特開２００１−９５７０７号や実登第３０８２２９９号などが提案されている。前者は重錘により浮き上がりを防止して入浴者の座り心地を図り、後者は入浴者の座高に合わせて腰掛けの高さを調節しようとするもので、いずれも半身浴をするときの利便性を求めているが構造上から健康増進に寄与しようとするものではない。健康増進のためには木工製品に磁場を利用した特開平１０−２６２８４９号が提案されているが、該発明のイス及びマットは比重の重い物質をサンドイッチ状に組み合わせて風呂の底に沈ませるもので、イスとマットとが相互に構造的な関連性を持つものではなく、不使用時にコンパクトな状態で浴室に置くことができなかった。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は半身浴用の腰掛けにおいて、健康増進に寄与する部材を腰掛け本体に組み込み、浴槽内では腰掛け本体から組み込み部材が展開されて足裏や腰の経穴を刺激でき、不使用時には本体内に収容して単なる腰掛けとして浴室内に置ける半身浴用腰掛けを提供しようとする。
【０００４】
【課題を解決するための手段】
請求項１の半身浴用腰掛けは、箱状の腰掛け本体の前面には下端部を開閉支点とする前開閉蓋を設け、後面には上端部を開閉支点とする後開閉蓋を設け、前開閉蓋の内面及び後開閉蓋の外面にはそれぞれ多数個の突起が配設されて成っている。
請求項２の半身浴用腰掛けは、箱状の腰掛け本体の前面には下端部を開閉支点とする前開閉蓋を設け、後面には上端部を開閉支点とする後開閉蓋を設け、内部には表面に多数個の突起を配設した折りたたみマットを収納し、後開閉蓋の外面には多数個の突起が配設されて成っている。
請求項３の半身浴用腰掛けは、請求項１又は請求項２の半身浴用腰掛けの突起に磁気部を配設して成っている。
【０００５】
【発明の実施の形態】
前開閉蓋や後開閉蓋には、その開口接合端が逆山形状の係止片とＶ字形状の係止溝とによって係止されるもの、マグネットの吸磁力によって吸着されるものがある。突起はその背丈に区々のものがあり、配設される磁気部には所要形状のマグネット粒や磁気被膜体がある。腰掛け本体には、横長截頭角錐台状のもの、後面が浴槽内壁の傾斜面になじむ末細り斜面となっているものがある。
