Definitions

  • the invention relates to a balneotherapy or thalassotherapy air injection bath allowing, in general, the user to be massaged by turbulence in an air injection bath.
  • GB-A 2 026 317 already discloses baths with balneotherapy or thalassotherapy air injection comprising nozzles opening through the bottom of the bath and being supplied with air from a turbine arranged in a housing. containing a heating resistor and an ozone lamp.
  • the box containing these various devices, located outside the safety perimeter of the bathtub, has electrical and electronic controls receiving pneumatic pulses from a mobile control handle or a fixed control plate.
  • the mobile control handle or the fixed control plate are located close to the user so that the user can remotely control, for example, air injection, air heating, ozone, the duration and speed of injection and stopping.
  • the present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks and proposes to create a bathtub with air injection for balneotherapy or thalassotherapy making it possible to very significantly increase the comfort of the user by providing the latter with control possibilities for various heating, ozone injection, on-off and mainly adjustment of the injected air flow.
  • the invention relates to an air injection bathtub according to the main claim according to which it comprises a device for adjusting the air intake in the bathtub to create turbulence in the water and control handles.
  • the device for adjusting the air intake being a bypass tube connected to the air distribution manifold, upstream of the non-return valve, the bypass tubing forming a bend so that its free end comes substantially at the level of the upper edge of the bathtub, a valve, provided with an adjustment member of the air injection power, being mounted near the free end of the bypass tube, the air injection power adjusting member being a spider crossing the upper edge of the bathtub to be f easily accessible and user-friendly.
  • the user can control as he likes the injection and heating of the air, the adjustment of the power of injection of the air into the water without leaving his bath, in particular by the arrangement within reach of hand of the adjuster.
  • the exhaust silencer on the bypass manifold very effectively attenuates noise caused by the passage of air through the bypass manifold and overflow.
  • the evacuation device and its special connection, it is possible to evacuate. with the least possible inconvenience, the excess pressurized air arriving in the bypass pipe and being able to exploit this surplus pressurized air with profit.
  • the spider allows very fine adjustment of the air injection power.
  • compressed air pulse control increases the safety of the user taking his bath, no manipulation or equipment requiring electricity being placed near the bath.
  • the bathtub 1 comprises a tank 2 provided, on the bottom 3 as well as on the end walls 4, with air injection nozzles 5 connected to the manifold 6 by hoses 7.
  • the arrival of air in the manifold 6 is carried out according to the arrow F.
  • the bathtub 1 also comprises a box, not shown, provided with a certain number of organs or control devices.
  • the box is located outside the safety perimeter of the bath 1.
  • the box in addition, comprises a turbine for the production of forced air, an air heating device, an ozone generator, as well than a set of electrical and electronic controls receiving pneumatic pulses. These pneumatic pulses are sent from a mobile control handle or a fixed control plate located near the bathtub.
  • the box makes it possible to determine various operations of injection or heating of the injected air, the injection of ozone, the duration and the speed of injection of the air in the bathtub, as well as the start or stop. .
  • the bath 1 is provided with a device for adjusting the air intake in the water to create more or less strong turbulence.
  • This device consists of a bypass tubing 8 connected to the manifold 6 upstream of the non-return valve 9.
  • the tubing 8 forms an elbow 10 so that the end 11 of the tubing 8 comes substantially at the top edge 12 of the bathtub.
  • a valve 13 mounted at the end 11 of the tubing 8 is actuated by a member adjustment consisting of a spider 14 passing through the upper edge 12 of the bath 1.
  • the valve 13, mounted near the free end 11 of the tubing 8, is a direct passage valve.
  • the spider 14 is easily accessible and manipulated by the user to regulate with very great precision the power of injection of air into the bath water.
  • the bypass tubing 8 is provided, at its free end, with an exhaust silencer 15 to very effectively reduce the noise of the passage of air in the tubing 8 and the valve 13.
  • the silencer 15 more particularly adapted to the compressed air is sintered bronze.
  • the side and internal walls 16 of the bathtub 1 are provided with pneumatic control handles 17.
  • a single handle 17 is shown, the other handle being located on the opposite face of the bathtub.
  • the control handles 17 are provided with a compressed air bellows 18. The user presses on the handles 17 to send control pulses to the box, not shown.
  • One of the handles 17 allows the user to control the start and stop of the air injection, while the other handle 17 allows to control the heating of the air injected into the water.
  • the end 11 of the tube 8 is provided with a device 20 for evacuating the excess pressure injection air produced by the turbine.
  • the discharge device 20 is composed of a check valve 19 on the direct passage valve 13 and of a hose 21 provided at its free end with a nozzle 22.
  • the hose 21 and the valve 19 are mounted directly at following valve 13.
  • the purpose of the evacuation device formed by the check valve 19 and the flexible hose 21 is to eliminate any risk of fluid when water accidentally enters the tubing 8 during the filling of the bathtub following an inattention of the user.
  • the evacuation device 20 makes it possible to suppress the noise of the pressurized air in the tube 8.
