  • the pressure gauge 42 indicates the available pressure at the shower massage heads 50.
  • the handwheel 39 of the main control valve 40 turns to lower or increase the pressure at the pulsating shower heads
  • the vent 70 is used to exhaust steam vapor inside the stall as needed.
  • the pulsating shower massage heads herein are patented with the following serial numbers: 3,958,756; 4,079,891; 4,081,135; 4,089,471 and 4,131,233. These shower heads feature both conventional spray and pulsating streams of water Jets that can be selected as desired.
  • the Hydro-massager machine 12 shown in Fig. 2 is composed of a shower tub 26, water tank 16, piping system, water pump 32, filter 26, control valves, instrumentation and several pulsating shower heads 50. All these components are available in the market, but the resulting system and machine is novel with new use.
  • the shower tub 28 serves as a floor where the user stand while enjoying the instant shower massage.
  • the tub 28, the surrounding inside wall 15 and the shower doors (not shown) collect the streams of pulsating water jets as it drip after it hit and massage the entire body of the user.
  • the water is drained thru the tub drain 29 which is directly on top of the water tank 16 is attached to the underside of the tub 28 and are both supported by metal frame.
  • the water tank 16 acts as a recirculating water reservoir.
  • the water level is controlled by the water level controller 60 connected to the controller
  • Water temperature is maintained by the thermostat 64 with capillary 63 and sensing bulb 65 installed inside the tank 16 near the electric heating element 22. Both are connected to the power supply.
  • the heating element 22 is installed through the side wall of the tank 16.
  • the water is sucked by the pump 32, passing thru the filter 26, the outlet nozzle 25 and the pump suction pipe 24 connected by the flexible coupling 23.
  • the flexible coupling absorbs the pump vibration and reduces the noise level.
  • the water pump 32 is driven by electric motor 34 connected to the power supply and controlled by the ON/OFF push button switch 36.
  • the pressurized water is discharged to the main discharge pipe header 36 then thru the pipllng system.
  • the main control valve 40 is located upstream along the main discharge pipe header 38 in such a way as to conveniently position the control valve hand wheel 39. It can be turned to control the mainwater flow and pressure thru the piping system and out of the pulsating shower heads 50. Upstream of the control valve 40 are reducing tees 41 for connection of the tubing 43 and the pressure gauge 42 and temperature gauge 44. With these indicators, the user can determine the most comfortable and pleasurable pressure and temperature combination.
  • a straight tee 27 that branch to two subheaders 46. These subheaders 46 used 45 degree elbows 47, reducing tees 45 and 90 degree elbows 49 to position the four piping manifolds 46 at these prefered locations. Upstream of the piping manifolds 46 are reducing tees 45 to provide smaller outlets for pipe nipple 51 connections. These branches provide multiple series connections for the threaded ends of the shower massage heads 50 used to achieve instant shower massage as claimed in the quoted abstract of patent number 4,131,233 as fol lows:
  • ABSTRACT "A selectively-controlled pulsating water shower head comprises a housing including a spray block formed with a central chamber having a first group of openings for outletting a continuous spray, and an annular chamber therearound having a second group of outlet openings. A plurality of freely movable members, in the form of curved segments, are drivable around the annular chamber by the water inletted into the housing for outletting the water through the second group of openings in the form of a pulsating spray.
  • the shower head further includes a manually-controlled diverter having a displaceable stem assembly for selectively enabling either the continuous spray or the pulsating spray.”
  • the five available pulsating shower heads 50 in the market today provide a better selection for a desirable spray pattern.
  • the pulsating streams of water jet with controlled pressure and temperature coming out of the shower heads 50 can be simultaneously directed to cover and massage the body, giving instant, enjoyable and exhilarating pleasure to the user.
  • the used water drip down and collected by the shower tub 26 and drained back to the water tank 16 via the tub drain 29 ready for recirculation.
  • the water can be economically drained through the drain pipe 20 by opening the drain control valve

  • the water is sucked throush the screen filter 26 then throush the suction pipe into the pump 32.
  • the water is discharse to the main piping header 38, to the subheaders 46 then to the shower head columns 48 and Jet out of the shower/massage heads 50.
  • the water stream is pulsatins and twisting and waving as it hits the body, then drops to the tub 28 and drain back to the tank 16 below thru the grating 30.
  • the cwcle is completed.
  • the main control valve 40 is used to adjust the desired pressure.
  • the thermostat 64 is used to adjust the temperature upward while cold water SUPPIW controller 60 is used to lower the water temperature.
  • the pressure indicator 42 shows the actual pressure dischsrging at the shower head 50 while the temperature indicator 44 shows the actual discharse temperature at shower massase heads 50, the controller 60 maintains the water level in the tank.
  • the over flow piping 18 and the drain piping 20 are tied tosether and connected to a common sewer.
  • adjustable hydro shower massager is a highly efficient, economical, controllable, pleasant, healthful, and reliable means of enjoying and enlivining shower massase at one's convinience in a shorter time compared to prior arts.

Abstract

Dans la machine d'hydromassage instantanée (12), les pommes de douches sélectivement commandées (50) sont fixées au moyen de petits raccords (51) à des tubes collecteurs (48) situés de manière stratégique à l'intérieur de la cabine de douche. Les courants pulsatoires et tourbillonants de jets d'eau sortant de ces pommes de douche en série et en parallèle (50) peuvent être dirigés simultannément pour couvrir et masser tout le corps en donnant un plaisir instantané, agréable et vivifiant à l'utilisateur. Après massage du corps, l'eau s'écoule et est récupérée par le bac (28) et les parois (15) de l'enceinte (14), puis s'écoule vers le réservoir d'eau (16) situé en dessous. La pompe de recirculation (32), connectée au réservoir (16) par un système de tube, aspire l'eau au travers du filtre (26) et du tube d'aspiration (24), en la pressurisant et en la déchargeant par le collecteur principal (38), les collecteurs secondaires (46), les tubes collecteurs (48) pour ensuite la propulser sous forme de jet par les pommes de douche sélectivement commandées (50) sous la forme de courant pulsatoire/continu de jet de fluide produisant un massage instantané. L'instrumentation prévue permet de commander la machine pour satisfaire les besoins de chacun.
