ABSTRACT:
A solarium, especially for medical purposes, having one or more fluorescent tubes mounted in a frame, wherein the frame is constructed as part of a piece of residential furniture, such as a bed, a couch, a seat, a commode, a cabinet, a stand, a lamp, a television set and the like. The fluorescent tubes are disposed in reflectors which are open to an irradiation side of the frame. The fluorescent tubes are mounted under a covering which is permeable to ultraviolet rays. The covering provides a concave longitudinal trough adapted to fit the body of the user. Preferably, at least one solarium lamp is positioned at a distance above the cover so that the user can be irradiated simultaneously on both sides of his body. The solarium may be constructed as a mirror part of a hair dressing cabinet commode. In another embodiment, the fluorescent tubes are bent into a circle, where tubes of different diameters are arranged concentrically to one another. The concentric tubes may be mounted in a bowl-shaped casing, a commercial-type television set and the like.
