However, it is contemplated that other materials, including but not limited to plastics, may be used for theleg rest frame 28. - In the illustrated embodiment, the
leg rest 26 is coupled to thebasin 12 through aleg rest pivot 56 as shown inFIGS. 3 and 6 . The engagement of theattachment end 32 of theleg rest 26 with theleg rest pivot 56 allows theleg rest 26 to rotate from the first position (seeFIG. 1 ) to the second position (seeFIG. 2 ). - An illustrative embodiment of a leg rest pivot is shown in
FIG. 5 . Theleg rest pivot 56 includes asupport portion 58 and apivot portion 60. Thesupport portion 58 is adapted to be coupled to thebasin base 16 or its supportingframe 84, as shown inFIG. 6 . Thepivot portion 60 is adapted to engage theattachment end 32 of theleg rest 26. In use, theleg rest pivot 56 is coupled to thebasin 12. Theleg rest 26 is then coupled to theleg rest pivot 56. - As shown in
FIG. 5 , thesupport portion 58 extends from thepivot portion 60. In the illustrated embodiment, thesupport portion 58 comprises a generally rectangular projection. Thesupport portion 58 includes at least oneaperture 62 extending therethrough. The illustrated embodiment includes twoapertures 62 formed in eachsupport portion 58. The at least oneaperture 62 may be molded in thesupport portion 58 or may be created by any other known method such as drilling. Thesupport portion 58 may be coupled to thebasin base 16 using any known methods. In the illustrated embodiment thesupport portion 58 is coupled to thebasin base 16 usingbolts 64 as shown inFIGS. 3 and 6 . - The
pivot portion 60 of theleg rest pivot 56 is formed with aslot 66 extending therethrough, as shown inFIG. 5 . Theslot 66 is preferably generally curved between thefirst end 68 and thesecond end 70. At thefirst end 68 of theslot 66, there is a lockingportion 72. As will be described in more detail below, theslot 66 limits the rotation of theleg rest 26. Theleg rest pivot 56 is also formed with anaperture 74 extending therethrough. In the illustrated embodiment, the configuration of theaperture 74 is a generally oblong shape. Theaperture 74 is generally parallel to the lockingportion 72 of theslot 66. When theleg rest pivot 56 is in place on thespa device 10, theaperture 74 is generally vertical. - In use, the
leg rest 26 is positioned such that theengagement portion 40 engages thepivot 56 as shown in the exploded view ofFIG. 5 . Thefirst pin 78 is inserted such that thepin 78 extends through thefirst aperture 46 in thefirst flange 44, through theaperture 74 in thepivot 56 and through thefirst aperture 46 in thesecond flange 44 b. Thefirst pin 78 may then be secured in place. In the illustrated embodiment thefirst pin 78 is pressed in place, however thepin 78 may be secured by any other means. Theleg rest 26 may then pivot about thefirst pin 78 in theaperture 46 of theleg rest pivot 56. Thesecond pin 80 is then inserted such that thepin 80 extends through thesecond aperture 48 in thefirst flange 44 a, through theslot 66 in theleg rest pivot 56, and through thesecond aperture 48 in thesecond flange 44 b. Thesecond pin 80 may then be secured in place. In the illustrated embodiment thesecond pin 80 is pressed in place, however thepin 80 may be secured by any other means. The engagement of thesecond pin 80 with theslot 66 controls the pivoting motion of theleg rest 26. - Specifically, the
slot 66 is configured such that when theleg rest 26 is rotated to the down position, thesecond pin 80 engages thesecond end 70 of theslot 66 and prevents theleg rest 26 from further rotation. When theleg rest 26 is pivoted to the up position, thesecond pin 80 engages thefirst end 68 of theslot 66. The weight of theleg rest 26 then causes thepin 80 to drop into the lockingportion 72 of the slot, locking theleg rest 26 in the upright position. In order to pivot theleg rest 26 back to the down position, a user must first lift up slightly on theleg rest 26, to remove thesecond pin 80 from the lockingportion 72 of theslot 66, and then rotate theleg rest 26 to the down position. It should be understood that the shape of theaperture 74 in which thefirst pin 78 is configured to accommodate the locking motion of theleg rest 26. In the illustrated embodiment, theaperture 74 is generally oval. It should be understood that while the illustrative embodiment utilizes a pair of pins, other means of attachment, including but not limited to a bolt restrained with a nut, could be utilized. - In the illustrated embodiment the
leg rest pivot 56 is made of a molded plastic material. However, it is contemplated that other materials, including but not limited to metals, may be used for the leg rest pivot. - The
leg rest cover 30 has anattachment end 50 andfree end 52. The shape of theleg rest cover 30 is similar to that of theleg rest frame 28. In the illustrated embodiment,free end 52 of theleg rest cover 30 is generally wider than theattachment end 50. Theleg rest cover 30 is preferably contoured to support the leg of a customer using thespa device 10. As shown inFIG. 2 , the outer surface 54 of theleg rest cover 30 has anindentation 76 formed to support a customer's calf. While theleg rest cover 30 may be made of any material known in the art, the leg rest cover 30 of the illustrated embodiment is made of self-skinning foam. - In the illustrated embodiment, the basin is provided with a
lip 82 formed around a portion circumference of the basin. It is also contemplated that it may be desirable to form the circumference of thebasin 12 with a pair recesses 86 (as shown inFIG. 7 ) to accommodate the leg rests 26 in their down position (as shown inFIG. 1 ). Therecesses 86 allow the leg rests 26 to be generally flush with thelip 82 of thebasin 12 when the leg rests 26 are in the down position. However, it is also contemplated that the basin could be formed without thelip 82. - The foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Furthermore, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described. While the preferred embodiment has been described, the details may be changed without departing from the invention, which is defined by the claims.
