に関する。[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Sangyo-12 No. 12 Togawa Bun9ko] This invention provides bathtubs that utilize various types of bathtubs as sounding bodies, such as polyethylene bathtubs, stainless steel bathtubs, and enamel bathtubs that have good vibration transmission properties. The present invention relates to a speaker and a bath sound system that generates stereo sound using the bathtub speaker.
壁板や天井などを音響振動体とする音響再生装置、例え
は壁面スピーカが提案されてから久しい。It has been a long time since sound reproduction devices, such as wall speakers, have been proposed that use wall panels, ceilings, etc. as acoustic vibrators.

うにしたものである（例えは実公昭４５−２３４６６号
公報，実公昭５３−５０４１０号公報参照）。This type of speaker has, for example, the following structure. That is, by fixing the voice coil to a diaphragm, placing it in a magnetic circuit constituted by a yoke and magnets 1, etc., and attaching the diaphragm to a plate such as a wall or ceiling, this plate (See, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publications No. 45-23466 and Publication No. 53-50410).

て有効に利用でき、しかも室内空間全体を音場として−
様に効果的な音響を発生させることができる。If you use such wall speakers, there is no need to install a separate speaker box in the room, so you can use all the space effectively and use the entire indoor space as a sound field.
It is possible to generate very effective sound.
そのため、特に工場，オフィス，病院などでバックグラ

いる。Therefore, it is particularly suitable for playing background music in factories, offices, hospitals, etc. In addition, in recent years, its use is not limited to indoor walls and ceilings.
The analogy has been extended to furniture such as sofas and beds.
一方、最近は住まいの中で「おふろｊの役割が大きく変

身ともにリラックスできる場所として見直されている。On the other hand, recently, the role of bathtubs in homes has changed significantly, from simply being a place to soak in hot water to warm yourself up, wash your body, and disinfect your body, to a place where you can relieve your fatigue and improve your mental and physical well-being. It is being re-evaluated as a place where you can relax.
そのため、浴室を広く１り］るくすると共に、気泡やシ

み方としては、一般のスピーカを使用する場合とそれ程
変らないものであった。Although wall speakers have various advantages as sound generating devices such as -E, the sound generated is transmitted to the people in the room through the air, and most people hear it by ear. Since the user only senses the sound, the way of enjoying music etc. is not much different from using ordinary speakers.

なかった。In addition, when a sound source unit similar to a wall speaker is attached to a sofa or head, the acoustic vibrations generated by it are not only transmitted to the user's ears through the air, but also directly through clothing, etc. The acoustic vibrations are also transmitted to the user's body, so it is possible to experience the music through the user's body, and to expect a massage effect due to the vibrations. Because the information was not transmitted, the effect was local and insufficient.

に図られていなかった。Furthermore, as mentioned above, the bath is being reconsidered as a place to relax both physically and mentally and to promote health, and various developments have been made regarding bathrooms and their equipment. The use of music and its acoustic vibrations, which are expected to have extremely great effects, has not been sufficiently utilized.

である。Further, the Hassound system according to the present invention uses at least one pair of the above-mentioned sound source units 1. The sound source units 1.
The periphery of the frame l1 is tightly fixed, and both left and right channel signals generated by a stereo signal generator such as a cassette deck, a CD player, and an FM stereo tuner are amplified by a stereo amplifier. , 2) The sound source units 1 are individually supplied to the whistle coils fixed to both side walls of the bathtub, and each sound source unit 1 is operated in response to the signals from both the left and right channels. Stereo sound is generated using at least the left and right -J side walls of the bathtub as sounding bodies.

として入浴者の耳にも伝搬される。The bathtub smoothness according to the present invention configured as described above is as follows:
When an electric signal whose frequency and amplitude change according to music or the like is applied to the voice coil of the bathtub, the sound source unit generates vibrations and vibrates the side wall of the bathtub via the frame. As a result, the entire bathtub acts as a sounding body and generates sound, so when taking a bath, the acoustic vibrations are transmitted to the bather's whole body using the bath water as a medium, and at the same time, the sound vibrations are transmitted to the bather's whole body using the air in the bathroom as a medium. It is also transmitted to the ears.

できる。Therefore, bathers can not only listen to music through their ears, but also feel it through their skin, and since the density of water is much higher than that of air, the propagation of sound waves is good.
It is distributed almost evenly to the entire part of the bather's body that is in contact with the hot water (from the shoulders down to -A!i), and you can feel it for yourself.

１１は不要である。In addition, a step 1d is formed inside the mounting edge 1c of the frame 1 at a position recessed from the mounting surface, and a moisture prevention plate 11 made of an aluminum plate is stretched over this step 1d. This is simply provided for the purpose of moisture prevention, and the adhesion between the outer surface of the side wall 20a of the bathtub and the mounting edge 1 (2) of the frame 1 shown in phantom lines in FIG. 2 is not complete, and there is a gap between the two. This is to prevent moisture from entering and having an adverse effect on the internal sound vibrating section 12.If it is guaranteed that the adhesion described in section 2 is complete, this moisture prevention plate 11 will be Not necessary.
