Abstract
Abstract A portable sauna-bath jacket includes a one-piece jacket, a hot-air supplier, a cooling-water supplier, and a sequential timing device alternatively controlling the delivery of either a hot air or cooling water stream into the jacket for alternatively warming or cooling a bather for taking a sauna bath directly in the jacket for convenient, economic and hygienic purposes.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
268 words
A portable sauna-bath jacket comprising: an one-piece jacket having two upper vents formed on its shoulder portions, two middle discharge tubes respectively formed on two gloves secured to two sleeves of the jacket, two lower discharge tubes respectively formed on two shoes secured to two trouser hoses of said jacket, and an annular hose with plural spray holes on said hose formed on a collar portion of said jacket; a hot-air supplier including an air inlet pipe communicated with an air inlet port formed on a central portion of said jacket, an air fan driven by a motor mounted in a casing formed on a chest portion of said jacket, a temperature-controlled heating coil mounted in the inlet pipe for heating an air stream as driven by the fan and a suction louver formed on the casing for sucking air therein; and a cooling-water supplier including a water inlet pipe connected with a cooling water source, a solenoid valve connected with the water inlet pipe and mounted in said casing, and a water inlet pipe connected between said solenoid valve and said annular hose, whereby upon the switching-on operation of said hot-air supplier, a hot-air stream is delivered into said inlet port and distributed everywhere within said jacket for warming a bather and finally discharged through the upper vents, middle and lower discharge tubes; and upon the alternative switching of said solenoid valve of said cooling-water supplier by switching off said hot-air supplier, a water stream is delivered through the water pipes and said annular hose to spray cooling water through said spray holes for cooling the bather.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
68 words
A portable sauna-bath jacket according to claim 1, wherein said jacket further includes a sequential timing device having a transformer/rectifier transforming and rectifying an alternative current for safe bathing use, a voltage stabilizer stabilizing the input power, and a pair of timing integrated circuits adapted for sequentially actuating a first relay for driving said hot-air supplier and then actuating a second relay for driving said cooling-water supplier alternatively.
