  • Figure 2 is a rear view of the embodiment of the invention
  • Figure 3 is a cross sectional elevation views of the embodiment of the invention.
  • Figure 4 to 6 is the views of another embodiment of the invention.
  • Figs.l to 3 show respectively the perspective, rear and cross sectional elevation views of a combination bathing device according to the invention.
  • the bathing device described above is manufactured to be portable, independently from the bathing tub, wherein the simple ultrasonic stimulus is not only possible without the need for the replacement of the existing bathing tub but also a user can freely use the device moving it to the area as he wishes.
  • ultrasonic oscillators 11, infrared lamps 15 and visible light lamps 13, respectively in their plurality are symmetrically arranged.
  • the housing 1 forms the body of the device. On the front of the housing, a main body of the device.
  • a main body of the device On the front of the housing, a main body of the device.
  • PCB (printed circuit board) room 10 receiving a main PCB 17 is disposed hermetically or water-tight, wherein the main PCB functions to drive ultrasonic oscillators 11, infrared lamps 15, visible light lamps 13 and so on.
