Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to fountains for spas.
- a fountain is a structure from which a jet or stream of water issues.
- a fountain head as used herein, is a component of a fountain from which the jet or stream of water issues.
- a spa is sometimes defined as tub for relaxation or invigoration, usually including a device for raising whirlpools in the water.
- a fountain for a spa is a fountain positioned such that the water from the fountain exits the fountain head, flows through the air, and flows into the spa.
- a fountain head extends from the fountain ("pops up") when a jet or stream of water issues from it, and retracts when it is not in use.
- An example of a pop ⁇ up fountain assembly for installation in a swimming pool can be found in U.S. Patent No. 3,722,816 (the '816 patent).
- a fountain assembly extends upward from the bottom of a swimming pool when water flows through it, and retracts into the bottom of the pool when the fountain is turned off and the pool is to be used for swimming.
- An example of a spa with a pop-up waterfall apparatus can be found in U.S. Patent No. 6,595,435 (the '435 patent).
- a waterfall apparatus pops up when a stream of water issues from it in the form of a waterfall, and retracts into the side of the spa when not in use.
- a fountain includes a fountain head that has a first set of orifices and a second set of orifices, and at least two operating states.
- the first orifice set is active, and the second orifice set is inactive, while the fountain assembly is in a first operating state.
- the second orifice set becomes active when the fountain assembly is in a second operating state.
- the fountain transitions between the first operating state and the second operating state in response to a change in position of the fountain head and/or a change in fountain head pressure.
- Figure 1 is perspective partial cutaway view of a spa including a fountain for the spa in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 2 is perspective view of the head of the fountain of figure 1 retracted into a side of the spa.
- Figure 3 is a top view showing the pattern of water issuing from the fountain of figure 1 while the head is retracted.
- Figure 4. is a schematic side view illustrating movement of the head of the fountain of figure 1 between a retracted position and an extended position.
- Figure 5 is a perspective side view of the head of the fountain of figure 1 extended from a side of the spa.
- Figure 6 is a top view showing the pattern of water issuing from the fountain of Figure 1 while the head is extended.
- Figure 7 is a schematic view of water flow through the spa and fountain of figure 1.
- Figure 8 is a schematic view of water flow through the spa and fountain of figure 1 when the fountain is in a first operating state.
- Figure 9 is a schematic view water flow through the spa and fountain of figure 1 when the fountain is in a second operating state.
- Figure 10 is a perspective view of a first alternative fountain head.
- Figure 11 is a perspective view of a second alternative fountain head.
- Figure 12 is a schematic view of water flow through an alternative fountain head.
- Figure 13 is a top view illustrating an oscillating fountain head.
- Figure 14 is a perspective view of a third alternative fountain head.
- Figure 15 is a top view illustrating a first water pattern of the head of figure 14.
- Figure 16 is a top view illustrating a second water pattern of the head of figure 14.
- a fountain for a spa it is not necessary to utilize multiple fountain heads to be able to vary the pattern of water flowing from the fountain. Instead, one or more multi-state fountain heads can be used. In a multi-state fountain head, the pattern of water flowing from the fountain head changes as the operating state changes. Such changes may be accomplished in a variety of ways, but in a preferred embodiment described herein, operating 39603
- a portable spa 1 includes a water filled cavity 2 that functions as a fountain pool because the spa 1 includes a fountain assembly 11 that issues water into the cavity 2.
- the fountain assembly 11 is mounted to an upper surface 3 of a body 4 of the spa 1, and is coupled to a circulation system 5 of the spa 1 that includes a cavity outlet 6, conduits 7, components 8, 10, and 12, and a controller 9.
- the fountain assembly 11 does not contact or protrude from the sides of the water cavity 2.
- the components 8, 10, 12 may comprise a jet pump, filter, and heater, or may be any other combination of circulation system components.
- Water within the cavity 2 enters the circulation system 5 via the cavity outlet 6, passes through the conduits 7 and the components 8, 10, and 12, and exits the circulation system 5 via the fountain assembly 11.
- the controller 9 is used to control the circulation system 5, and facilitates turning the system on and off and adjusting the pressure at which water is introduced into the fountain 11.
- Water is introduced into the fountain assembly 11 at at least two pressure levels, a higher level and a lower level. As shown in figure 1, water is being introduced into the fountain assembly 11 at the higher level such that a fountain head of the fountain assembly 11 is extended from the surface 3 of the body 4.
- a head assembly 13 of the fountain 11 is shown retracted into a head assembly receiving cavity 15 that extends into the surface 3 of the body 4 of the spa 1.
- the head assembly 13 is moveable relative to the cavity 15 such that the head assembly 13 can be retracted and extended.
- more of the head assembly 13 is positioned within the cavity 15 than when the head assembly 13 is extended as shown in figures 4 and 5. Extending the head assembly 13 is sometimes referred to as causing the head assembly 13 to "pop-up".
- the head assembly 13 includes a head 17 and a riser 19.
- the riser 19 includes at least one fluid inlet 21, and at least one fluid channel 23 extending between the fluid inlet 21 and two orifice sets 25 and 27 of the head 17.
- the orifice set 25 includes a plurality of nozzles 29 positioned and oriented to cause water flowing through the nozzles 29 to form jets of water projecting upwards from the head 17.
- the orifice set 27 includes a sheeting manifold 31 positioned and oriented to cause water passing through the manifold to form a waterfall.
- the flow of water issuing from orifice set 27 is designated as Fl
- the flow of water issuing from orifice set 29 is designated as F2.
- Figure 3 illustrates the flow Fl from the active orifice set 25 when the head assembly 13 is retracted
- figure 6 illustrates the flows Fl and F2 from the active orifice sets 25 and 27 when the head assembly 13 is extended.
- the head assembly 13 and the cavity 15 cooperate to inhibit water flow through the orifice set 27 when the head assembly 13 is retracted into the cavity 15, and to allow water to flow through the orifice set 27 when the head assembly 13 is extended from the cavity 15.
- the head assembly 13 moves between a first, retracted position and a second, extended position in response to changes in water pressure at the fluid inlet 21 and the fluid channel 23.
- water at lower pressure passes through the head assembly 13
- the sides of the cavity 15 inhibit water flow through the orifice(s) of the orifice set 27.
- the head assembly 13 extends from the cavity 15, and water flowing through the head assembly 13 exits the assembly through both the orifice set 25 and the orifice set 27 as flows Fl and F2 (see figure 6).
- the orifice set 27 is activated by changes in pressure of water entering the head assembly 13 in that water is less inhibited from flowing through the orifice(s) of the orifice set 27 at higher pressures than at lower pressures.
- the method by which orifice sets are activated or deactivated may vary between embodiments, the orifice set 27 is activated by increased pressure and corresponding movement of the head assembly 13.
- an orifice set can be said to be active or inactive depending on whether the head is positioned to facilitate or inhibit flow through the 2005/039603
- a particular orifice set may be determined to be active or inactive because some other mechanism is facilitating or inhibiting water flow through the orifice set.
- an orifice set is active if the fountain is in a state where water flow through the orifice set is desirable and inactive if flow through the orifice is not desirable.
- the orifice set 27 is activated as a result of the movement of the head assembly 13 out of the cavity 15.
- a flow path to the orifice set 27 might include a pressure valve set to open at a pre-selected pressure. In such an instance, if the water entering the head assembly 13 is below the pre-selected pressure, the valve would remain closed and water would issue from the head assembly 13 only through the orifice set 25. However, at pressures above the threshold pressure, the valve would open and water would issue from both the orifice set 25 and the orifice set 27.
- a fountain may be said to comprise multiple operating states with at least one operating state corresponding to each unique combination of active orifice sets.
- figures 8 and 9 illustrate two operating states of the spa 1. In a first operating state as shown in figure 8, only the orifice set 25 is active, and in a second operating state as shown in figure 9, the two orifice sets 25 and 27 are active.
- water from the fountain assembly 11 exits the assembly through the orifice set 25 as flow Fl, flows into the cavity 2, is circulated by the circulation system 5 and re-enters the fountain assembly 11.
- embodiments have been described in relation to two orifice sets, alternative embodiments may comprise additional orifice sets.
- an embodiment might comprise three orifice sets and seven operating states with each of the at least seven operating states corresponding to a unique combination of the three orifice sets.
- activation and deactivation of orifice sets may be caused by pressure changes, movement of one or more pressure heads, and/or some other mechanism.
- the number , type, position, and/or orientation of orifices in each orifice set may vary between embodiments.
- some embodiments may only include jets in orifices sets and/or may only include sheeting manifolds, rather than having one set include jets and one set include a sheeting manifold as shown in figure 1. It is contemplated that it is advantageous to have the flow from at least one orifice set project upwards and outwards from the center of the fountain head. In the fountain head 13 of figures 1, the flow Fl from the orifice set 25 projects upwards and outwards.
- Figures 10 and 11 depict flow head assemblies 13' and 13" comprising orifice sets 27' and 27" from which a flow F3 is issues as shown in figure 12. As can be seen in figure 12, the flow F3 issues upward and outward from the flow head 13', as it would with flow head 13" as well.
- the head assemblies 13' and 13" differ in that the assembly 13' provides a more laminar flow than the head assembly 13" as the head assembly 13" is intended to produce a patterned flow.
- flow head assemblies may move in a manner that changes the direction of the flows issuing from the flow head assemblies, but does not result in any orifice sets being activated or inactivated.
- figure 13 shows a flow head assembly 13' oscillating around a center axis to move the flow F3 first towards one side 41 of a spa 43 and then towards another side 45 of the spa 43.
- a head assembly may be manually or automatically configurable such that the size, number, position, and/or orientation of one or more orifices can be adjusted to change the pattern of water issuing from the head assembly.
- a fountain may comprise one or more mechanisms which are not part of the head assembly for manually configuring the pattern of water issuing from the fountain.
- a head assembly 51 comprising an orifice set 53 and a rotatable cover 55 is shown. The cover 55 can be rotated to completely or partially cover the orifice set 53. As such, in some instances the flow F4 from the orifice set 53 is narrow as shown in figure 15, while in other instances it is wider as shown in figure 16.
- At least some of the fountains described herein may be said to embody the following method of operating a fountain: (a) causing the fountain to enter a first operating state wherein water flows through a first orifice set but not a second orifice set by causing water to flow into a fountain head at a first pressure; and (b) causing the fountain to enter a second operating state wherein water flows through a second orifice by causing the water to flow into the fountain head at second pressure which differs from the first pressure.
- the fountains embody such a method where: (a) the second pressure is higher than the first pressure, and/or (b) water flows through both the first and second orifice sets when the fountain is in the second operating state.
