Definitions

  • Hydromassage units of this type are known, but unless the walls on which they are installed have parallel sides, it becomes difficult, if not impossible, to realize stability of installation. Inasmuch as the operation of a jet head which forms part of such unit, creates substantial reaction forces acting on a moment arm terminating at the location of installation of the hydromassage unit on the tub wall, stability of installation becomes of utmost importance, and this is a practical impossibility with tubs having walls whose innersides are contoured, as a good many are.
  • a hydromassage unit of the type with which the present invention is concerned is positioned in straddling relationship on a wall 36 of a tub, with the pump and jet head assembly inside of the tub and spaced from the wall, and the power unit on the outside.
  • the nut is provided with a plurality of teats 53 depending into the slot.
