Abstract:
An emergency wash system is configured to dispense a fluid. The emergency wash system includes a basin, a sprayhead disposed at least partially over the basin, and a drain conduit coupled to the basin. The sprayhead includes a fluid inlet portion, a first fluid outlet portion coupled to the fluid inlet portion, and a second fluid inlet portion coupled to the fluid inlet portion. The fluid inlet portion is oriented substantially parallel to the drain conduit and vertically above the drain conduit.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a medical use of water exerting a hydrostatic pressure higher than 1.1 bar, completely surrounding and affecting a patient's organism under total submergence, for use in prophylaxis, physiotherapy, rehabilitation and therapy of disorders, defects and injuries of skeletal system, arthroskeletal system, musculoskeletal system and other body systems such as circulatory system, nervous system, immune system, as well as pain conditions, such as migraine, myalgia and neuralgia, skin diseases, fertility disorders, potency dysfunctions, as well as overweight, obesity and defects of posture. According to the invention the hydrostatic pressure of water is preferably higher than 1.2 bar, and the patient is human being. The invention is of a particular importance in rehabilitation and therapy that follows after aesthetic medicine treatment, after surgeries, after physical injuries of motor system. The solution according to the invention is advantageously used in combination with procedures of classic hydrotherapy, manual therapy, kinesitherapy or combination thereof. It is of a particular benefit to provide air, mixture of gases of a composition different to the composition of air, mixtures of air and oxygen or pure oxygen for breathing (hyperbaric oxygen therapy HBO/HBOT), while the water may be supplemented with various additives appropriate for the kind of an ailment treated, such as mineral, gaseous, herbal, antiinflammatory, antimicrobial including antibacterial additives.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a shower apparatus which allows a user to enjoy spray of water with a voluminous feel even when a small volume of water is discharged as well as with a comfortable stimulus sensation of an instantaneous flow rate of the spray varying greatly. The shower apparatus periodically varies a volume of air taken into an aeration unit by periodically changing a traveling direction of a water stream ejected to the aeration unit from a throttle unit and produces pulsating spray by varying the instantaneous flow rate of bubbly water discharged from a nozzle unit.
Abstract:
A water jet having a housing with a first attachment means having a first side, a second side opposite the first side, an inner side, and an outer side; an entrance slot accessible from the inner side and extending along the inner side a distance between the first side and the second side; a retaining path extending along at least one-quarter of the circumference of the first attachment means from the entrance slot, the retaining path for retaining a second attachment means; and a retainer located at a juncture between the entrance slot and the retaining path for removably retaining the second attachment means within the retaining path, wherein the retainer is movable from a locked or retaining position to an unlocked or releasing position and back; and a sleeve rotatably mounted within the housing, the sleeve having the second attachment means, the second attachment means being a protrusion extending radially outwardly from an outer surface of the sleeve, wherein when the retainer is in the locked or retaining position, with the second attachment means within the retaining path, the retainer prevents the second attachment means from exiting the retaining path without the retainer being moved into the unlocked or releasing position.
Abstract:
A jet for a spa or bathing system that has a water flow modifier, where the water flow modifier is controlled independently from the flow rate of water through the jet.

Abstract:
A multiple nozzle moving jet structure for a spa, attached to flexible tubes encased in an articulated sleeve exhausts pressurized water into the spa in a vertical whipping motion, in reaction to the water exhaust. The multiple nozzle structure utilizes one air supply tube to aerate water streams of the multiple nozzle structure. The combination of the multiple nozzle structure with the articulated sleeves on the flexible tubes, confines movement of the nozzle structure in one plane, eliminating the requirement for a guide body to confine direction of nozzle movement.
Abstract:
A jet assembly includes a casing defining a flow path. The casing is adapted to be coupled to a basin, and an impeller is disposed in the flow path and adapted to generate a flow through the flow path. A motor includes a motor housing and a drive shaft coupled to the impeller. The motor housing is coupled to the casing.
Abstract:
Jet aerator apparatus and method. The apparatus can include a jet body including a passageway, water conduits, and an air conduit. The jet aerator can include an exit nozzle received in the passageway. The exit nozzle can include lock clips, locking tabs, and stabilizing tabs. The jet aerator can include a jet head coupled to the exit nozzle by the lock clips. The jet head can include a locking rib. The jet aerator can include a jet cover coupled to the exit nozzle. The jet cover can include slots to receive the locking tabs, stepped portions to receive the stabilizing tabs, and lock grooves to receive the locking rib.
Abstract:
A jet of a tub massage system for injection of a fluid in the liquid of the tub, comprises a tubular body. An inlet end is adapted to be connected to a pressure source. An outlet connection end connects the jet to a tub wall. A unidirectional flow mechanism within the tubular body allow a flow of fluid from the inlet end to the outlet connection end. A cavity is defined in the tubular body at the outlet connection end sized such that at least two holes in the tub wall are in fluid communication with the cavity, whereby fluid from the jet is injected into the tub through the at least two holes. A method for installing the jet to a tub wall is also provided.
