7 Claims, 3 Drawing Figures PATENTEU JANZ 5 I97? I INVENTOR. DAVID L. BRYANT HEATER 3O PUMP ATTORNEYS BUOYANT AER-WATER MASSAGE DEVKCE DESCRIPTION OF THE lNVENTlON This invention relates to a buoyant swimming pool chair provided with air and water jets for massaging the body of a person supported thereby in the swimming pool.
An object of this invention is to provide an improved hydropneumatic massaging device for buoyant swimming pool chairs.
Another object of this invention is to provide an improved hydropneumatic massaging device employing a plurality of air and warm water nozzles positioned underneath a buoyant swimming pool chair for directing air and water jets against the occupant ofthe chair.
Another object of this invention is to provide an improved hydropneumatic massaging device which is connected to the heated water supply of a swimming pool and which is provided with a booster pump for directing air and water jets against the body of the person occupying the buoyant chair in the swimming pool.
Still another object of this invention is to provide a buoyant swimming pool chair with a plurality of adjustable nozzles attached thereto for playing air and water jets upon the body of the person occupying the chair in the swimming pool, said nozzles being adjustable so that the air and water jets may be directed upon different parts of the body as selected by the person.
Other and further objects of this invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art to which it relates from the following specification, claims and drawing. 1
In accordance with this invention there is provided a buoyant swimming pool chair with a plurality of air and water nozzles supported around the body thereof so that a person while floating in the chair in the swimming pool may subject his body to massaging action produced by air and water jets from the nozzles of the device. These nozzles are attached to a pipe which is supported on the buoyant swimming pool chair and said pipe is connected by a flexible pipe or hose to a booster pump that is supplied with heated water from the swimming pool heating system. An air inlet tube is connected to this pipe and air is drawn into the warm water through this air tube so that the nozzles are supplied with a mixture of air and water. The air and water jets forced out of the nozzles may be played upon different parts of the body of the person supported in the chair and floating in the swimming pool.
Further details and features of this invention will be set forth in the following specification, claims and drawing in which, briefly:
FlG. 1 is a top view of the buoyant swimming pool char provided with a hydropneumatic massaging device connected to the heated water supply of the swimming pool;
FIG. 2 is a bottom view of the buoyant chair showing the plumbing attached thereto; and
FIG. 3 is a side view of the buoyant chair and the plumbing attached thereto which is shown connected to the water supply heater ofthe swimming pool.
Referring to the drawing in detail reference numeral designates a chair which is adapted to be used in a swimming pool and which is provided with buoyant member 11 of generally Ushaped configuration made of material such as plastic foam or the like so that the chair will be buoyant when used in the swimming pool. The chair is provided with a back 12, a seat 13 and inclined leg support 14 which are made ofinterwoven straps of cloth, plastic or the like supported on a frame which is attached to the armrest portions of the buoyant member 11 by the member 15.
While only one nozzle is shown for each of these pipes, it is of course understood that several nozzles spaced by predetermined distances may be provided to each of these pipes if desired. The nozzles 24, 25, 26 and 2.7 are shown pointing downward, however, these nozzles may be provided with ad justable ball-and-socketjoints so that they may direct the jets of air and water released therefrom at different angles. if desired, these nozzles may be turned upwardly so that they direct the streams against the occupant of the chair to provide vigorous massaging action.
The pipe 23 is preferably a flexible tube of plastic or like material and it is connected to the booster pump 28 which is connected by the hose or pipe 29 to the outlet pipe 31 of the heater 30. The outlet pipe 31 of the heater 30 supplies the heated water to the pool and when water is to be taken to the massage unit from the outlet pipe 31 through the tube or hose 29 and booster pump 28 to the chair the gate valve 32 is closed slowly while the temperature of the water indicated by the thermometer 33 is observed. When this temperature reaches approximately F. then closing of the valve 32 is stopped so that some of the water runs from the outlet pipe 31 into the pooljust fast enough to maintain this temperature as indicated by the thermometer 33.
Some of the heated water is drawn from the outlet pipe 31 through the hose or pipe 29 by the booster pump 28 and forced through the pipe 23 into the pipes 16, l7, l8 and 19, and out through the nozzles 24, 25, 26., and 27. As water is pumped into the pipes 16 and 17 through the constricted portions 16a and 17a, respectively, air is drawn into the water through the air inlet tubes 21 and 22 which open to the at mosphere above the buoyant member 11. This air is mixed with the water pumped through the pipes 16, 17, 18 and 19 and released together with heated water from the nozzles 24, 25, 26 and 27 to provide the desired massaging action to the person reclining in the chair.
While I have shown and described a preferred embodiment of the invention it will be apparent that the invention is capable of modification from the form shown so that the scope thereof should be limited only by the scope of the claims appended hereto.
