Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To utilize a fantastic light emitted from fluorescent paint and relax the mind and body of a person taking a bath by arranging a transparent acrylic resin layer on the surface of a material forming a bathtub, by applying the fluorescent paint thereto, and by arranging a black light for making the fluorescent paint light emission, near the bathtub. SOLUTION: In a bathtub 1, a bathtub base body 2 is formed of a polyester resin mixed with, for example, glass fiber. A transparent acrylic resin layer 5 is applied to the edge 3 and a bath 4 of the bath tub 1 and a fluorescent paint 6 is applied thereunder. On the other hand, a black light 10 is arranged in the edge 3 of the bathtub 1 to be covered with a cover 11. The fluorescent paint 6 is covered with the acrylic resin layer 5 to be protected so that in bathing, the fluorescent paint 6 is eliminated to be damaged. This constitution permits the fluorescent paint 6 to be emitted by the black light 10 and relax the mind and body of a person taking a bath using the fantastic light in light emission.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bathtub that provides a relaxing effect when taking a bath.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The Japanese naturally like bathing, and in general, even in general homes, there is always a bathroom in a hot spring area, and they bathe almost every day. Bathing improves your body's blood circulation, and bathing maximizes relaxation both physically and mentally. However, as a relaxing effect when taking a bath,
Although effective use of lighting and light has been attracting attention, it is difficult to effectively produce lighting due to the steam in the bathroom.

[0003] Apart from a method involving dazzling such that the entire bathroom is illuminated by the lighting effect of the light source, there has been a demand for a lighting environment in which the room is wrapped in fantastic soft light and can be relaxed.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a bathtub having a relaxing lighting environment in which the bathroom is wrapped in fantastic soft light having a large relaxing effect.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and its gist is to form a transparent acrylic resin layer on the surface of a material constituting a bathtub,
A fluorescent paint is applied to the surface of the material constituting the bathtub covered with the transparent acrylic resin, and a black light that emits the fluorescent paint is set near the bathtub. Things.

[0006] Preferably, the material forming the bathtub is a synthetic resin material, and more preferably, a transparent acrylic resin layer is formed on the bathtub surface of the bathtub.

[0007]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The constitution of the present invention is described below. A fluorescent paint is applied to a part or all of a design on a bathtub surface, and a transparent acrylic resin layer is formed thereon. Protect paint from bath water. Then, an appropriate number of black lights having a wavelength suitable for causing the fluorescent paint to emit light are arranged in a part of the bathtub or above the bathtub so that the fluorescent paint emits light. In this way,
The soft and fantastic light of the fluorescent color allows the mind and body to relax.

The black light is light having a specific wavelength (near ultraviolet rays 300 to 450) generated from a mercury lamp.
nm) with invisible light extracted by a specially designed ultraviolet filter. When this light is applied to a phosphor or a subject containing a fluorescent substance, the light emits beautiful light and floats.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the entire bathtub of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a main part thereof. In the drawing, 1 is a bathtub, and 2 is a bathtub base made of a polyester resin mixed with glass fibers. In this example, the transparent acrylic resin layer 5 is applied to the edge 3 and the bath 4 of the bathtub, and the fluorescent paint 6 is applied to the edge 3 and the surface of the bath 4. The left and right edges 3 of the bathtub 1 are provided with black lights 10, and 11 is a cover.

Since the fluorescent paint 6 in the bathtub 1 is covered with the acrylic resin layer 5, the fluorescent paint 6 is completely protected, and there is no possibility that the fluorescent paint 6 will be damaged when bathing. The fluorescent paint 6 may be applied to the entire surface of the bathtub base 2, but it is needless to say that the fluorescent paint 6 can also represent a pattern or draw a picture.

The fluorescent paint 6 applied to the bathtub 1 by the black light 10 emits light, and has a very relaxing effect on the mind and body.

[0012]

As described above, when the fluorescent paint shines, the mind and body can be relaxed by the fantastic light, and the ordinary light source illuminates the eyes. However, the present invention has a large relaxing effect because there is no dazzle. In addition, when combined with a jet bath, the glowing tub and the water flow overlap, which is more effective. Further, there is an effect that the effect is increased by adopting a design having a large fluorescent effect.
