Description

Technical area

The invention relates to a reclining seat in a swimming pool or spa, which is locked there but at the same time is autonomous with respect to the tub and has technical means, according to the preamble of the first claim.

State of the art

Relaxation pools have been known for a long time and only with the invention of the Jacuzzi Jacuzzi, the bubble bath with massage jets and air supply in the private area, in hotels and public institutions really got going. Application, forms and technical orientations and advantages can be found in Wikipedia.

Common to all that they have a correspondingly large and partially complex shaped tubs, which are offset with corresponding nozzles and the user can control these as desired. Such a SPA is described in patent US D683,039S. A SPA with replaceable nozzle inserts can be found in US 2007/0289 057 A1.

Swimming pools have hardly any seating, with the exception of spacious steps with corresponding tubs, such as e.g. the roman stairs.

Presentation of the invention

The invention is based on the object at a SPA the tub instead of the usual thermoformed mold or cast concrete form or other material use, this manifests simple form, with straight walls and ground as possible to make the reclining seats as separate elements. This results in more options in terms of shape, number of seats, functions, even personalized shapes for body, more targeted bubble and nozzle positions and easier maintenance of the entire system. In swimming pools, reclining seats are hardly in use, because a swimming pool is actually a place where swimming, which would otherwise take too much swimming pool and relaxation is therefore already held in a separate part.

Today's SPAs here as an umbrella term for whirlpools, wellness oases, jacuzzi pools and the like, are usually made by deep drawing and are then marketed as SPA with the appropriate formations, e.g. offered for two or more people. Furthermore, these are factory-fitted with a corresponding number of nozzles, whereby the individual nozzles for pulsating massages instead of Sprudelausführung, can be replaced. The disinfection system is not the subject of the document, but only the water and air duct, which is considered as part of the modular equipment and for maintenance purposes.

Instead of forcing even more and more complex and ever new types of niches in SPAs, the invention goes in a different direction, namely, with a given size and shape of a SPAs, appropriate reclining modules in the showroom or "just in time" be installed when ordering the customer. Should the customer later change his mind, he just has to change the reclining seat module, thus saving a lot of money and getting what he needs specifically. As an example, a family of four is going to have a SPA, but after a few years the children are out of the house and the layout of the interior layout of the SPA can be changed. As another example, a parent may suffer from a disease as he gets older, which may be better treated with a corresponding water or air nozzle configuration. Also, two reclining seat modules can be "stacked" in one place to have two different seat variants in this way. The configuration options are therefore large, the cost of a module change low and with the other "hidden" advantage that in a repair the corresponding reclining seat module only has to be folded up to get to the corresponding component. In addition, the inflow and outflow of the water are not visible because they are placed behind the Liegesitzmoduln and it also needs no breakthroughs under the waterline, since all lines are connected above the waterline with the outside of the tub or lie in a chill, a kind Gutter and are carried there and fed to the appropriate places.

The basis is a reclining module, which rests on only two points, namely on the head part, which may be on the edge of a tub of a SPA or swimming pool, mounted or designed as a rotating element and on the bottom of the tub, respectively. supported on the side wall of the bath. This allows almost infinite shapes and can be easily inserted into the tub. A higher-quality version then has a hollow-shaped reclining seat module, which has a directly flanged underwater pump and the water is thus transported without detours from long hoses, with pressure directly to the nozzles in Liegesitzmodul.

The reclining module can also be adjusted for increased comfort by means of hinges on Liegesitzmodul, so that from the sitting position finally a flat, lying position can be taken. This is achieved by means of an agent, e.g. with one or more hydraulic cylinders or buoyancy bodies which when filled with water, the Liegesitzmodul lowers, or the water is pumped out of the buoyancy body by means of a pump and at the same time draws air, so that the buoyancy becomes light and the Liegesitzmodul rises. Furthermore, the entire reclining seat module is height-adjustable to the waterline, the back element also, so that the reclining seat can be optimally positioned in the tub for each body posture.

At the upper pivot point of the reclining seat module or at another suitable location, one or more waterproof vibration motors installed so that not only per nozzle pulsating water can flow out, but the reclining module at the same time serves as a kind of vibration mats.

Since nothing is installed under the large-scale SPA tub or swimming pool, everything can be repaired from the top, by folding up the reclining seat module, repaired or mounted new, as well as removed, saving a lot of money and trouble.

Also, the tube guide of circulation water or water / air mixture with such a modular system is extremely easy to implement and can be easily assembled by means of plug-in couplings and released again. The Liegesitzmodule also serve as ideal covers, behind which the entire water flow for the disinfection of the water circulates in the tub and the air duct may be appropriate without the water and air duct needs to be performed as usual by means of a passage under the waterline , Thus, the tub without breakthroughs under the waterline is completely waterproof.

Also, a very elegant cover of the water W can be ensured so that the heat remains in the tub. For this purpose, a winding mechanism under the modular, easily removable Liegesitzmodul located at the bottom of the tub and can be pushed over the waterline of the water by means of a pulley and space creation through the Liegesitzmodul, a roll cover so that the water surface of the SPA is well insulated and heat is difficult to escape ,

This is achieved by the features of the first claim according to the invention.

Further advantageous embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.

Core of the invention is to place a modular reclining seat in a simple tub, which is locked or rotatably mounted on the edge of the tub and by means of a directly pressurizing pump in the tub, the water into the interior of the reclining module and thus pressed through the nozzles and on This way, depending on your mood, a bubble or massage activity allows. The reclining seat module can be adjusted from the seat to a recliner and height-adjusted for maximum comfort, as well as being equipped with vibration functions.

Only the essential elements for the immediate understanding of the invention are shown.

Way to carry out the invention

Fig. 1 shows a side view of a trough 1 of a spa or swimming pool with a recessed seat module 2, which is stored and fixed with the pivot bearing 3 above and by means of the support 4 on the floor 1 a of the tub 1 at a SPA supported, and alternatively, the module is supported on the side wall 1 b of the tub 1 at a swimming pool.

Central to the tub 1 is that this is kept very simple in shape and thus can be easily manufactured and so the reclining module 2 can be installed longitudinally or transversely, higher or lower, without disturbing elevations in the tub. 1 restrict the freedom of assembly. The trough 1 can represent a U in cross-section with a rounded upper edge or, as described in FIGS. 5 to 7, can have hinged lids 33 or a channel 37 and can accordingly be insulated on the outside and have a lateral cover. The specific production of the tub 1 is not the subject of the invention.

The reclining seat module 2 has a contoured shape, which has a back support 2a, a thigh support 2b and a lower leg support 2c and optionally an adjustable headrest 2d, and as shown in Fig. 2, may have a foot part 2e. The support 4 also ensures that even persons with high body weight can safely take place on the reclining seat module 2 and the support 4 is optionally also adjustable manually or by motor and with a separate pivot bearing.

The pivot bearing 3 not only allows the reclining module 2 in adjustment of the support 4 to swing in accordance with the inclination, but is part of the suspension of the reclining seat module 2 to the side wall 1 b of the tub 1 and is shown in the following descriptions, also extremely practical for servicing, as it can be lifted above the waterline WL, according to arrow S. Shown is the tub 1 filled with water W up to the waterline WL.

The reclining module 2 has an ideal body shape, which corresponds approximately to the average of the population. Persons with a small stature or children have to take pleasant place there especially with the thigh support 2 b, so therefore a back support 5, according to arrow L, drove horizontally adjustable or can be folded to from and so these people the best possible support of the thighs respectively. the lower leg allows. Of course, the reclining seat module 2 can also be individually adapted to a person. The reclining seat module 2 is preferably made of plastic and can be produced in a version with a hard or soft «soft touch» surface. Likewise, foamed cushion strips 6 can be fastened to the entire reclining seat module 2, which can be adjustable and can be removed at any time for cleaning purposes. In latches the reclining seat module 2 are made of increased hygiene reasons usually in stainless steel.

Another advantage of this division of tub 1 and reclining module 2 is that they can be made independently of each other of different materials, such as plastic, metal, glass, concrete, wood.

2 shows a side view of a trough 1 with a reclining seat module 2 embedded therein, which is mounted and fixed at the top with the rotary bearing 3 and is supported by the support 4 on the floor 1a of the trough 1 and the reclining seat module 2 has a gap 7 and the pump 8 is fixed to the nozzles 9 on the reclining module 2 and the reclining module 2 has a mechanical vibration motor 17, as well as an armrest 11 and a gooseneck 12 with control unit 13, a power cable 14 and an air pump 15 with hose sixteenth

The special feature of SPAs is the bubbling and massage function, which is guided by means of water pressure through nozzles 9. The nozzle jet can be set soft or hard at the nozzle 9 and can exit the nozzle 9 continuously or in a pulsating or rotating manner. The pump 8 is mounted in the tub 1, either just above the waterline WL, but a snorkel protrudes into the water W or the pump 8 is immersed in the water W and can even be attached to the reclining seat module 2. The motor on the pump 8 is sealed watertight and is approved in the water W with up to 30V and DC lawful. This eliminates the need for elaborate passages for the pressurized water channels on the side wall 1b, which lead to flow friction and corresponding losses and thus reduce the efficiency of the device. Only the power cable 14 can be easily run over the waterline WL behind the tub 1 and is elegantly covered by Liegesitzmodul 2.

The pump 8 sucks the water W directly from the tub 1 and presses this advantageous directly through the gap 7 in the reclining module 2 to the individual nozzles 9. Simple, a bubble bath or a massage system can not be operated. Another advantage is that each individual reclining seat module 2 can have its own small pump 8 and by means of a control unit 13 at a e.g. flexible gooseneck 12 or on an armrest 11, the amount of water can thus adjust individually and thus save a lot of energy. Likewise, a water heater, not shown here, can be switched on at the pump 8 or in the intermediate space 7, which directly heats the pressurized water at the desired temperature during use. Also, an air pump 15 can be activated, which sucks the outside air and feeds through a hydrophobic filter to the air pump 15 by means of an air hose 16 or via a separate space 7 in the reclining seat module 2 of the pump 8. If necessary, the outside air can also be heated, which also or additionally heats the pressurized water.

At the pivot bearing 3 or at another location on the reclining module 2, a vibration motor 17 may be mounted, which electrically generates a speed and thus generates an imbalance by means of an imbalance element, so that the reclining module 2 undergoes vibration and contributes to muscle relaxation. For this purpose, the vibration motor 17 may be connected directly to the reclining seat module 2, wherein the reclining seat module 2 on the pivot bearing 3 and the support 4 via rubber elements to the tub 1, so that the vibrations are hardly transmitted to the tub 1. At the same time, such vibrations also stimulate the water W and thus increase the muscle action and stimulate the flow of blood in the veins.

The reclining module 2 may also have a foot part 2e, which has corresponding nozzles 9 which are particularly useful for a targeted foot massage.

Fig. 3 shows a side view of a tub 1 with a recessed seat module 2, in which the backrest 2a, thigh support 2b, lower leg rest 2c by means of hinges 18 are mutually adjustable, the reclining module 2 to the tub by means of the pivot bearing 3 also and the reclining module 2 vertically adjustable by means of the lift guide 25 and the triggering for the different position of the reclining seat module 2 by means of a ballast tank 19, tank pump 20 and a balance hose 21 with filter 22 and guide arms 24 takes place.

Wellness has much to do with comfort, therefore, it is advantageous the reclining module 2 with e.g. Cushion strip 6 as shown in Fig. 1 to occupy or produce the top of the reclining seat module 2 with soft plastic, wherein a reclining seat module 2 can be injected in one operation, namely above with soft and below with hard plastic. But also the pleasant sitting position is central to a sense of well-being and can be sitting or lying down as desired or contain an intermediate position. For this purpose, back rest 2a, thigh rest 2b, lower leg rest 2c are mounted to one another in an adjustable manner by means of hinges 18 and can be adjusted by means of active means 23, i. by means of e.g. a fluid cylinder or a system with ballast tanks 19 and guide arms 24, are adjusted accordingly.

As shown in Fig. 1 and 2, the reclining module 2 is attached to the pivot bearing 3, so that here the pivot bearing 3 is connected to the back rest 2a, this in turn is connected by means of the hinge 18 with the thigh support 2b and this in turn is by means of the hinge 18 connected to the lower leg rest 2c. Back support 2a, thigh support 2b, lower leg rest 2c are additionally connected by means of guide arms 24, which also have hinges 18 and form a kinematics, which serves the reclining seat module 2 in a position as a seat and serves as a couch in the maximally extended position. By nuancing the lengths of the guide arms 24 and their points of application, e.g. the thigh support 2b in the lowermost position has a low seat angle of e.g. 45 °, then occupy a horizontal angle of 90 ° in the uppermost position. The lowest position is determined by means of the support 4, the uppermost position by corresponding stops on the moving parts.

The kinematics can be controlled by one or more agents, the version by means of a ballast tank 19 is the most elegant and also allows a nautical swings. The ballast tank 19 is advantageously attached under the part of the thigh support 2b of the reclining seat module 2, because there also the highest weight weighs. The reclining module 2 is constructed so that it does not float itself and the ballast tank 19, which is filled with water W, the total force even increases. The ballast tank 19 has a tank pump 20 which can pump the water W from the tub 1 into the ballast tank 19 and pump it back into the tub 1. On Ballasttank 19 also a compensation hose 21 is mounted, which projects on the reclining module 2 or on the guide arms 24 along the waterline WL and there is a hydrophobic filter 22 is attached, same as the filter for the air / water whirlpool system as described in Fig. 2. The motor of the tank pump 20 may also be mounted above the waterline WL or suitably sealed in the water W and also max. 30 V DC voltage, the current is protected according to the legislation. By pumping out the water W from the ballast tank 19 by means of the tank pump 20, the ballast tank 19 is lighter, a possible vacuum in the ballast tank 19 is excluded, since outside air via filter 22 and balancing hose 21 is tightened in the ballast tank 19. In this way, the reclining seat module 2 rises and at the same time the seating position flattens until finally a reclining position arises, according to arrow T of the transformation. Of course, the tank pump 20 can be stopped at any time to allow an intermediate position of the reclining seat module 2. Shut-off valves, not shown here, ensure that no water W then flows into or out of the ballast tank 19 and thus the desired position of the reclining seat module 2 can be maintained. A ballast tank 19 under the reclining seat module 2 with the dimensions of e.g. only 60 x 60 x 40 cm results in a volume of 144 liters, enough to lift one person plus the weight of the reclining seat module 2 easily in the lying position. When lowering the reclining seat module 2 water W is pumped from the tub 1 in the ballast tank 19 and the air therein is conveyed by means of the equalization hose 21 to the outside, thus arises in the ballast tank 19 never an air pressure. Of course, can be attached to this adjustable reclining seat module 2, as shown in Fig. 2, also a control panel 13 with flexible gooseneck 12 or armrest 11, even with a Wippschaltmodus, which serves some water W in and out of the ballast tank 19 back and forth pump and thus let the Liegesitzmodul 2 rock gently and thus to produce a calming effect.

The total height adjustment according to arrow H of Liegesitzmodul 2 together with the kinematics serves on the one hand to accommodate all body sizes bill, but also gives the opportunity to lie in the tub 1 on the reclining module 2 on the stomach in such a way that the head comfortable remains above the waterline WL, but the body is sufficiently immersed in the water W and thus also conveniently allows a massage for the front part of the body. For this purpose, a lift guide 25 on the side wall 1b, respectively. attached to the upper edge of the tub 1, which guides the console 26 and not shown here, can be locked in the desired position. At the console 26, the corresponding guide arm 24 with hinge 18 and the back rest 2a with the pivot bearing 3 and the support 4, possibly also an upper stop attached. The height adjustment of the console 26 by means of control of the ballast tank 19 or a separate agent 23. Of course, the adjustable reclining module 2 can be conveniently locked in any position by means not shown here blocking means.

Fig. 4 shows a side view of a swimming pool with the tub 1 and recessed seat module 2 embedded therein with the nozzles 9 and the pump 8 and the wall bracket 27 with the pivot bearing 3, the spring 28, and tank pump 20 and Springbok 29 and the ballast tank 19 mounted under the reclining seat module 2.

Hardly anyone wants to give away the space for a reclining seat module 2 in a swimming pool, so such offers are not present on the market. By means of the already described in Fig. 3 lifting techniques with a ballast tanks 19 under the reclining seat module 2, a wellness function, especially after intensive swimming in a swimming pool are quite desirable and feasible with this system. The reclining seat module 2 is securely held on the side wall 1 b of the tub 1 when not in use by means of a recessed on the wall bracket 27 pivot bearing 3 and spring 28, which may be a tension spring or torsion spring or the like. In the wall bracket 27, the tank pump 20 is also admitted and can additionally have a water heater and air pump, so that by means of the tank pump 20, water W can be promoted from or into the ballast tank 19 and thus raise or lower the reclining seat module 2. Also, a control panel 13 may be mounted and the reclining seat module 2 may be a one-piece or adjustable reclining seat module 2. If the reclining seat module 2 is swung upwards as indicated by arrow S, the entire program can also be used as in every SPA, in particular the additionally heated water W will particularly delight users, since swimming pools usually have cooler water temperatures than SPAs. For this purpose, the reclining module 2 may have side cheeks, which also include nozzles 9 and so keep the temperature of the water W better. In the configuration with an adjustable reclining seat module 2 are each an elastic component inserted at the kinks to the back rest 2a to thigh support 2b to lower leg support 2c, which may be a bellows or a wider, oval hose nozzle and so the water W from the pump 8 with little constriction and friction with pressure to the nozzles 9 can be transported.

The lifting and lowering of the reclining seat module 2 can, of course, be effected by means of an effective cylinder, e.g. be an electric motor with spindle drive and to relieve the weight of the reclining seat module 2 may be attached to this a suitably dimensioned buoyancy body 19 a.

Fig. 5 shows a side view of a SPAs with a trough 1 with the water pipes 30, which are guided by an above the Wasserline WL mounted opening 31 in the tub 1 to the external water treatment plant 32.

A central advantage of the simple tub 1 is the Versatilität with respect to the positioning, shape and function of the individual Liegesitzmoduln 2, as well as that in this way any openings 31 are placed behind the respective Liegesitzmodul 2 and also above the waterline WL and for the SPA users are thus not visible and the tub 1, because of missing openings 31 under the waterline WL, therefore never seep or leak water W can. Furthermore, the circulation of the water W with the corresponding disinfection with this form of the tub 1 works better than with the baggy forms of the standard SPAs. The water W is sucked in at the inlet point A, which can take place at the same time in the upper and lower part of the trough 1 and is then discharged in a purified manner at the outlet point B into the trough 1. The outlet B has a lateral outlet, which already leads to the side wall 1 b, so that the inflowing water W generates a circulation along the side wall 1 b in the tub 1 and thus ensures a high-quality mixing of newly purified water W in the tub 1 , For this purpose, the tub has 1 rounded corners, as are the transitions from the bottom 1a to the side walls 1b rounded.

A lid 33 with its hinge makes it possible that the technical components such as the water pipes 30, power cables 14, etc. are guided elegantly above the waterline WL, as described in Fig. 6.

Fig. 6 shows a side view of a SPA with a portion of the tub 1 with a channel 37 and opening 31 in the lid 33 for the water pipe 30, the bracket 34, the bracket 35, the power cable 14 and other technical components 36th

The tub 1 has a groove 37, in which the various technical means are inserted and guided and also find room for storage space. Thus, a power cable 14 can be inserted into the channel 37 and can then be invisibly routed to the desired location behind the respective reclining module 2 in the tub 1 without having to drill a hole in the side wall 1 b in this regard. The same applies even to the large-dimensioned water lines 30 to the water treatment plant 32 and back into the tub. 1

This construction allows on the one hand to have a functional tub 1 without holes in the water-carrying part of the tub 1, as well as easy access to the components, be it the water pipes 30, power cable 14 and more. In addition, the bracket 34 can be very easily anchored in the bracket 35, similar to the headrests on the backrest of a car, except that in this embodiment, the bracket 34 at the end of a pivot bearing 3, where the reclining module 2 is mounted. The bracket 34 can also attach the headrest 2d, which is height-adjustable if necessary, laterally displaceable and tiltable.

On the one hand, the channel 37 in the tub 1 is of great advantage in terms of a below the waterline WL hole-free and easy to survey assembly, on the other hand can be realized with the lid 33 as the conclusion of the SPAs, an elegant design with accent color. In order not to have to use external screws, the lid 33 is e.g. clipped by means of cam 38. The cover 33 can be segmented so that it can be opened at different locations, namely at least where the openings 31 are placed. Between the tub 1 and cover 33 may be a rubber seal, so that hardly splashing water penetrates into the space of the channel 37. The same applies to the opening 31, which may also have a rubber seal and if no power cable 14 or water pipe 30 or otherwise means must be carried out in the tub 1, has a blind cover.

It is conceivable that the entire water treatment plant 32 in the groove 37 place, because the area of the border of a trough 1 is far enough large and so the individual components can be placed side by side accordingly. In the groove 37, the brackets 35 are embedded, which serve as a support means for the bracket 34 and can be adjusted in height to allow the user the most comfortable seating position for Wasserline WL, but at the same time to serve as a drainage means for possibly penetrated water W. Also, separate drainages can be attached. The channel 37, as part of the tub 1, is designed such that it carries a part of the insulation as well as serves for the assembly support for the outer panel 1c.

Fig. 7 shows a side view of a tub 1 with a recessed seat module 2 embedded therein, with armrests 39 and stairs 40 at the back and in the tub 1, a conductor 41 and a treadmill 42 are housed. This tub 1 is higher than other standard SPAs, so that not only wellness can be operated in the tub 1, but that it can also be used in sports. For this purpose, the reclining seat module 2 is folded up to release the simple interior of the tub 1. The reclining seat module 2 can also as far to the rear, resp. be folded down on the outside that the mounted on the back of stairs 40 can be used to comfortably in and out of the tub 1 to rise. Before the flaps of the reclining seat module 2, the cover 33 is folded away or removed at the appropriate location previously. The otherwise also comfortable armrests 39 are pivoted on the pivot 39a, then locked and thus mutate to handles when climbing stairs. On the inside of the tub 1 is optionally a ladder 41 to comfortably ascend or descend in the water W. On the flat floor 1a can be longitudinally or transversely install a sports equipment, for example shown here on a treadmill 42, in which the handle bar 43 can be folded up with the display holder 44. The treadmill 42 may be operated passively or actively by means of a hub motor 45 or by means of a countercurrent system 46, e.g. to save space in a bell-shaped recess 47 is seated to take the best possible amount of water W and to flow through the outlet flow 48. The countercurrent system 46 may be a centrifugal pump or a propeller system or the like. If required, this can also be adjusted in height and inclination. Logically, in the case of the tub 1 is slightly larger, the countercurrent system 46 can also be used for swimming. Instead of a treadmill 43 and a folding ergometer can be installed.

FIG. 8 shows a side view of a trough 1 with inserted reclining seat modules 2 embedded therein, and an overlying reclining seat module 2.

The advantage of the simple tub 1 is shown once again in the configuration possibility such as e.g. By means of a "short" reclining seat module 2, so that in a small tub 1 can take four people and if only two people use the SPA and want to stretch at the same time, the long reclining seat module 2 can be folded. The bracket 34, not shown here, as shown in FIG. 6, here has two pivot bearings 3 in order to hold two reclining seat modules 2 at the same time. This can be realized with little effort for one and the same tub 1 several configurations with respect to seats and chairs and number of users in an instant.

9 shows a side view of a trough 1 with a reclining seat module 2 embedded therein with a double hinge 49, as well as a roll-up mechanism 50, a rolling cover 51 and a deflection roller 52.

For a SPA, it is important that the water temperature is relatively high and the energy used in the temperature increase is not quickly lost again. Therefore, after a spa usually the tub 1 is covered again, so that as little heat can escape. With the modular reclining seat module 2, it is possible to install a high-quality roller cover 51, which is exaggerated, because it is sufficient even mounted on a console 53 retractor 50, which is attached to the upper edge of the tub 1 or in the channel 37, practically on Floor 1a to place the tub. Rolled up there is the roll cover 51, which has a lamella shape and a push-chaining according to the current state, has an insulating layer, possibly also has solar elements and at the end of a magnetic rail 55 is attached. For the closing process, the reclining seat module 2 is folded under the waterline WL, according to arrow Z or the bracket 34 is lowered, according to arrow X, so that the reclining module 2 also comes under the waterline WL. Thereafter, the motor 54 of the reeling mechanism 50 is started, and the rolling cover 51 extends and covers the water W at the water line W to the cover holder 56 where the magnetic rail 55 magnetically docks to the cover holder 56. Side guide rails which otherwise serve as handrails make the rolling cover 51 may even be accessible, resp. serve as child protection from submerging the roll cover 51.
