Abstract

La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour le bain pourvu de caractéristiques auxiliaires, telles qu'une poignée, des éléments permettant d'améliorer les effets thérapeutiques classiques, un dispositif rotatif motorisé de soins des pieds conçu pour fournir un effet de soin des pieds à l'utilisateur, et un distributeur de fluide permettant de distribuer des additifs thérapeutiques. Cette invention concerne un dispositif pour le bain pourvu d'une pomme de douche montée sur une face inférieure d'un couvercle, orientée vers la cuvette pour le bain. Une pompe achemine un fluide depuis la cuvette de bain et pompe le fluide à travers la pomme de douche afin de fournir un effet de massage par fluide sous pression sur la partie du corps. Cette invention concerne un dispositif de balnéothérapie pourvu d'un ensemble ventilateur insonorisé conçu pour pousser l'air dans la cuvette de bain afin de fournir un effet de massage par bulles. Une mesure de la valeur du niveau sonore de l'ensemble ventilateur dans des conditions prédéfinies est inférieure à la valeur de l'effet de massage par bulles.
