DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to an oxygenation and relaxation cabin for use, in particular, in an urban area or in any other location where air pollution is relatively high.
PRIOR ART
In large urban agglomerations, in some workshops, and in some factories, people are subjected to permanent stress that can sometimes reach a very high level, due to air pollution, noise, crowding, etc. . . . .
There is no current means for easily escaping from these stresses, even temporarily.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The invention seeks to satisfy this want.
The invention provides an oxygenation and relaxation cabin providing a person with temporary isolation and relaxation away from atmospheric pollution, noise, crowding, etc.
To this end, the present invention provides an oxygenation and relaxation cabin for use, in particular, in an urban zone or in an environment having relatively high pollution, the cabin being characterized in that it is constituted by a closed enclosure fitted with a lockable door equipped with a payment device, and in that it contains means for supplying pure air to which a given odor selected by the customer may optionally be added, adjustable lighting means, and control circuits for these various means enabling them to operate for a predetermined period of time after payment of a corresponding sum and after parameter selection by the customer.
Cabins of this type may be installed in urban areas or in particularly tiring environments to provide, in return for moderate payment determined as a function of the duration of use, oxygenation and nervous relaxation giving rise to a sensation of comfort, rest, and well-being.
In a first embodiment of the invention, the means for supplying air comprise cylinders of compressed air connected via respective expanders and meters to a control circuit including a panel for enabling the customer to select an odor.
In a variant, these means for supplying air comprise a compressed air supply network coming from a central station for filtering, purifying, and compressing air, said network being connected to the cabin at a control circuit via an expander and a meter and optionally via a device for adding and mixing in a given odor.
The air supply means may be provided in several ways: they may terminate in one or more flexible hoses provided with face masks that may be removable and discardable after use for reasons of hygiene, or else the air supply means may be connected to air-delivering outlets or vents disposed in the immediate vicinity of the customer's face.
Advantageously, the inside of the cabin includes a selection panel placed within reach of a seat for receiving the customer, said panel serving for selecting an odor for the air, or a musical background, for adjusting the volume of the musical background, and also for adjusting the intensity of the lighting and optionally for opening a portion of the roof of the cabin and for projecting a fixed or an animated image on a screen.
Means are also provided for renewing the air in the cabin, at least in part, each time it is used.
The payment device may be of any suitable type, for example a credit card device or a coin mechanism.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

BEST METHOD OF PERFORMING THE INVENTION
The cabin 10 shown in the drawings is of the type intended to be used in an urban agglomeration, for example, and constitutes a closed enclosure placed on and fixed to the ground. It is of sufficient size for a person to feel at ease therein. The roof of the cabin is made of translucent or transparent materials, for example an unbreakable tinted glass, and includes opening portions, as des
