  • FIG. I shows an appliance for bubbling a compressed gas, such ascompressed air, through a liquid, particularly water in a bathing tub and the like, which comprises a compressed-air generating means such as a blower, compressor and the like mounted inside a synthetic plastics casing l for delivering compressed air into one end of a length of air hose 2 which at its other end is connected to a preferably angular connector '4. From this connector 4 a further length of air hose 5 leads to an air distributor head 6 attached to an air bubble generating mat 7 placed on the bottom of a bath tub 80.
  • a compressed-air generating means such as a blower, compressor and the like mounted inside a synthetic plastics casing l for delivering compressed air into one end of a length of air hose 2 which at its other end is connected to a preferably angular connector '4.
  • a further length of air hose 5 leads to an air distributor head 6 attached to an air bubble generating mat 7 placed on the bottom of a bath tub 80.
  • control means comprising for instance an electric time switch 30, an electronic speed regulator or a speed selector switch 32, a warning lamp 31, and an electrical push button on-off switch 33 operating the main switch for the compressed-air generating means are mounted on a control panel 41 inside the plastics casing l.
  • a correspondingly shaped opening in the plastics casing 1 gives access to said control panel.
  • a flap or cover 34 made of insulating material is hinged to the edge of the opening which is nearest to the length of air hose 2 by means of a piano hinge 35 and adapted when closed to cover the control panel 41 and its control means.
  • push button on-off switch'33 is located in the closing part of the hinged cover 34 in such a manner that the on-off switch 33 remains off until the cover is fully closed.
  • the other control means cannot be set whilst the main switch is on.
  • the connector 4 between the length of air hose 2 from the compressed-air generating means and the length of air hose 5 to the air distributor head 6 of the air bubble generating mat 7 is of angular construction and mounted on a pivot pin 36 on a wall fitting 3.
  • the portion of the connector 4 to which the length of air hose 5 is connected contains an orifice 40.
  • a taper pin 39 attached to the wall fitting 3 enters the orifice 40 and thus seals it.
  • the air hose length 5 is lifted and the mat 7 is taken out of the bath tub 80 and hung onto a hook 38 on the wall fitting 3, the angular connector 4 tilting upwards as indicated by an arrow in FIG. 4.
  • the taper pin 39 ceases to project into the orifice 40 in the connector 4 and consequently water draining from the mat 7 can be discharged through the orifice 40 in the connector 4 without reaching the compressed-air generating means.
  • the same effect could be achieved (not shown in the drawings) if the connector 4 between the ends of the two air hose lengths 2 and 5 were straight but divided in the middle into the halves connected by a hinge, the edges of the two halves in the straight closed position of the connector 4 forming a sealing joint. Lifting of the mat 7 results in the two halves hingeably opening and thus allowing water draining from the mat 7 to be discharged through the orifice 40.
  • the portion of the connector 4 containing the orifice 40 may form an enlargement containing a light-weight ball-shaped float 37 adapted in the event of water entering from air hose length 5 to close the part of the connector 4 to which the end of the air hose length 2 is attached (cf. FIG. 4).
  • the air bubble generating mat 7 may consist of flexible caterpillar-like sections traversed in the illustrated embodiment by five perforated air tubes 8 and 9, the air tube 9 in the center having a larger diameter as well as larger holes 11 than the others, the two pairs of tubes 8 on each side being of smaller diameter and having smaller holes 10.
  • the air distributor head 6 which admits air into these perforated air tubes 8 and 9 permits air to be selectably dischargedfrom specific perforated tubes in such a manner that the entire air delivered by the compressed-air generating means can issue without a build up of static pressure.
  • the air distributor head 6 spans the width of the mat 7 and as illustrated may contain five connections for the perforated air tubes of the mat 7, besides'having a further connection at one end for the air hose length 5.
  • the air distributor head 6 consists of a tube which is closed at both ends and which in its interior contains a further tube 14 which makes an airtight sliding seal and can be rotated by a knob 18 at one end.
  • the inner tube 14 contains four openings or ports along its length. When the inner tube 14 is in the position illustrated in FIG. 2 these ports 15 exactly register with connections 12 and the air tubes 8 in the mat 7 so that air from the compressed-air generating means entering through the air hose length 5 is admitted into these perforated air tubes 8 in the mat 7.
  • the inner tube 14 is rotated by the knob 18 through the angle of 180 ports 16 and 17 are brought into register with a connection 13 on the larger diameter central air tube 9 and the neighbouring connections 12 of the two air tubes 8 on either side. It is therefore possible to expose the entire body of the bather to the bubble action or, alternatively, intensely to treat only the spinal part of the back.
  • FIG. 3 Another embodiment of the air distributor head 6 is illustrated in FIG. 3.
  • the air distributor head 6 consists of a bank of three pipes 19, 20, and 21 which at each of their ends are closed by a cap 25 and 26 common to them all.
  • One of these caps, namely cap 26, is provided with a connectingfitting for the air hose length 5 from the connector 4.
  • Thiscap 26 also contains a rotary disc valve 27'which is operable by a knob 29 on the outside for selectably giving access through an opening 28 in the rotary disc valve 27 to the pipes 19, and/or 21.
  • the upper pipe 19 communicates via a connection 24 with the central perforated tube 9 of the mat 7, whereas the pipe 20 through a connection 23 communicates with the two neighbouring perforated air tubes 8 and the pipe 21 through a connection 22 with the two outer perforated air tubes 8 in the air bubble generating mat 7.
  • caps 25 and 26 closing the ends of the air distributor head 6 are interchangeable so that the air hose length 5 can be attached to the right or left hand end of the air distributorhead 6 according to the position of the bath tub in the bathroom.
  • the number of perforated tubes contained in the air bubble generating mat 7 is discretionary. For instance, on both longitudinal edges of the air bubble generating mat 7 two additional perforated air tubes might be provided having holes pointing downwards or at least being situated below the plane containing the holes of the other air tubes. Control may again be effected by means of the air distributor head 6.
  • the purpose of such an arrangement is to permit a foam bath for particular therapeutic effects to be produced by adding a foaming agent to a very small amount of water which would not as such be sufiicient for adequately covering the air bubble generating mat 7.
  • the compressed-air generating means could be located inside a cabinet, in a niche in the wall or in some similar position in which the closing of a cover or flap is necessary for starting the compressed-air generating means.
  • the compressed-air generating means are, contained Y in a synthetic plastics casing which completely encloses the same, contains control means and has an opening closable by a hinged insulating cover;
  • the air hose leads from the compressed-air gener ating means in the synthetic plastics casin g to an air distributor head of the air bubble generating mat and comprises two separate lengths of hose joined together by a connector which is airtight only when located at a given level above the air bubble generating mat, and

  • control means contained in the synthetic plastics casing comprise an electric time switch, an electronic speed regulator or a speed selector switch, a warning lamp and an electrical push button on-off switch for the compressed air generating means which are all mounted on , a common control panel in the plastics casing accommodating the compressed-air generating means in such a way that the push button'on the on-off switch is located in the path of deflection of the insulating cover hingeably attachedto the edge of the opening, which is nearest tothe air hose, said opening given access to said control panel.
  • the connector for joining the length of air hose from the compressed-air generating means to the length of air hose to the air distributor head of the air bubble generating mat is a straight tubular member divided into two halves substantially in the middle, said halves being connected by means of a hinge and their edges having sealingprofiles which form a sealing jointwhen the connector is in position for the passage therethrough of air from the compressed-air generating means.
  • connection for the length of air hose from the connector is provided at one end of the air distributor head which extends substantially across the full width of the air bubble generating mat which on its surface for support- 7 ing the body is provided with transverse grooves.
  • the air distributor head consists of a bank of three or more pipes which are closed at each end by a cap common to them all, one of said caps being formed with a connection for the length of air hose to the air distributor head and also containing a rotary disc valve operable from the outside for selectably admitting air into some of smaller-diameter air tubes or alternatively for admitting air into a larger-diameter air tube in the center of the air bubble generating mat and into the directly neighbouring smaller-diameter air tubes of the air bubble generating mat.
  • the air distributor head consists of a pipe which is closed at both ends, and which movably in a manner providing an airtight sliding seal contains an inner tube rotatably by an external knob, said inner tube being provided with a plurality of, say four, ports for admitting air into paired perforated air tubes on each longitudinal side of the air bubble generating mat, whereas rotation of the inner tube through an angle of say 180 brings a plurality of other ports, say three, into register with outlets leading into an inner larger-diameter perforated air tube and into two smaller-diameter air tubes located directly adjacent the inner larger-diameter perforated air tube on each side thereof.
  • the air bubble generating mat in addition to the perforated air tubes having holes in the upper surface of the air bubble generating mat also contains perforated air tubes extending along its two longitudinal edges, the holes in these latter air tubes pointing towards the bottom of a bath tub and being located below the general plane containing the holes of the other perforated air tubes so that appropriate control by the air distributor head will permit a foam bath to be generated when the water level is a minimum.
