Abstract
Description
- The use of water therapy whereby pulsating jets of water are directed to various portions of a human patient disposed within some sort of water basin are becoming increasingly popular.[0001]
- There is a problem, however, with the water therapy systems which are presently known. That problem arises from the fact that the intensity of the pulsating water and/or the pulsation aspect of the pulsating water is not readily adjustable by the patient.[0002]
- Accordingly, there is a need for an adjustable water therapy system wherein the therapeutic pulsating waters are readily adjustable by a patient disposed within the water basin.[0003]
- The invention satisfies this need. The invention is an adjustable water therapy combination comprising (a) a water basin capable of retaining a human being partially submerged below a level of water, the water basin having at least one drain opening and having a plurality of water input openings, (b) a water pump having a suction side and a discharged side, (c) water circulation conduits connecting the at least one water basin drain opening to the suction side of the pump and connecting the discharge side of the pump to the plurality of water input openings in the water basin, (d) a variable speed electric motor for driving the pump, the variable motor being capable of driving the pump in pulsing flow mode in a plurality of pulsing flow frequencies and durations, (e) a controller for controlling the speed of the electric motor, the controller also being capable of adjusting the pulsing of water discharged from the pump, both as to frequency and duration, and (f) a control panel operatively connected to the controller and being accessible to a user disposed within the water basin, for adjusting the speed of the electric motor and for adjusting the frequency and duration of flow pulsations from the pump.[0004]
- These and other features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following description, appended claims and accompanying drawings where:[0005]
- FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic view of a water therapy combination having features of the invention;[0006]
- FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic illustration of a pump, motor and controller combination useful in the water therapy combination illustrated in FIG. 1; and[0007]
- FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic illustration of a control panel useable in the water therapy combination illustrated in FIG. 1.[0008]
- The following discussion describes in detail one embodiment of the invention and several variations of that embodiment. This discussion should not be construed, however, as limiting the invention to those particular embodiments. Practitioners skilled in the art will recognize numerous other embodiments as well.[0009]
- The invention is an adjustable[0010]
water therapy combination 10 comprising awater basin 12, awater pump 14,water circulation conduits 16, apump motor 18, acontroller 20 for controlling the speed of thepump motor 18 and acontrol panel 22 for adjusting the settings on thecontroller 20. The invention is diagrammatically illustrated in FIG. 1. - The[0011]
water basin 12 can be any suitable water basin capable of retaining a human being partially submerged below a level of water. In FIG. 1, thewater basin 12 is illustrated as a portable spa, having asquare perimeter 24. Other shapes and sizes can also be used. Thewater basin 12 can also be a bath tub-shaped basin. - The[0012]
water basin 12 further comprises at least one drain opening26. - In a typical embodiment, the invention comprises one or more water therapy stations[0013]28 disposed within the
water basin 12. In the embodiment illustrated in the drawings, thewater basin 12 holds two water therapy stations28. - A first[0014]
water therapy station 28acomprises afirst seating location 30acapable of retaining a seated human being. A secondwater therapy station 28bcomprises asecond seating location 30bcapable of supporting a reclining human being. In a typical embodiment, both thefirst seating location 30aand thesecond seating location 30bare contoured to conform to the human body. - Each of the seating locations[0015]30 comprises a plurality of
water inlet openings 32. Each of thewater inlet openings 32 is capable of projecting a high velocity stream of pulsating water against a specific portion of the anatomy of a human being disposed within the seating location30. In a typical embodiment, each of thewater inlet openings 32 comprisewater jet nozzles 34 of the type well-known in the art. - Each water therapy station[0016]28 comprises a separate and independent water circulation system. Each water circulation system includes a
pump 14 andwater circulation conduits 16. Eachpump 14 is typically a centrifugal pump and has asuction side 36 and adischarge side 38. Appropriatewater circulation conduits 16 connect the at least one water basin drain opening26 to thesuction side 36 of eachpump 14 and connects thedischarge side 38 of eachpump 14 to the plurality ofwater inlet openings 32 at one of the seating locations30. - In the embodiment illustrated in the drawings, the water circulation conduits[0017]16 in each water therapy station28 further comprise an
ejector 40 disposed between thedischarge side 38 of thepump 14 and thewater inlet openings 32. Eachejector 40 is capable of drawing air into a water stream flowing from thepump 14 towater inlet openings 32 in one of the water therapy stations28. - Preferably, the air drawn into a water stream flowing from the[0018]
pump 14 to thewater inlet openings 32 in each water therapy station28 is provided by anair valve 42 disposed proximate to the seating location30 in the water therapy station28, so that a patient disposed at that water therapy station28 can easily adjust the input of air within the incoming water by adjusting theair valve 42. - Each[0019]
pump 14 is driven by a variable speedelectric motor 16. Eachmotor 16 is capable of driving apump 14 in pulsating flow mode in a plurality of pulsating flow frequencies and durations. In a typical embodiment, the frequency of flow pulsations from thepump 14 is variable for a plurality of settings between about 26 pulsations per minute and about 160 pulsations per minute. The velocity of water pulsing through each water inlet opening is typically between about 1 ft./sec. and about 10 ft./sec. - Each[0020]
motor 16 is controlled by aseparate controller 20. Eachcontroller 20 is capable of adjusting the pulsing of water discharged from one of thepumps 14, both as to frequency and duration. - A[0021]
control panel 22 is operatively connected to eachcontroller 20 and allows the user to quickly and easily adjust the speed of theelectric motor 18 so as to adjust the frequency and duration of flow pulsations from thepump 14. Eachcontrol panel 22 is located proximate to each seating location30 so that different patients sitting in different seating locations can independently adjust the frequency and duration of flow pulsations through water openings in that patient's particular seating location30. - As illustrated in FIG. 3, the[0022]
control panel 22 can have fivebuttons 44. Afirst button 44ais a power button to turn off and turn on the electrical power to the system. Asecond button 44bturns thepump 14 on and off. Athird button 44cturns the pulse mode adjustment function on and off. Afourth button 44dinstructs thecontroller 20 to go forward through a series of preset massage modes, each typically varying in duration and frequency. Afifth button 44eallows the patient to go backwards through the massage mode series. - In one typical embodiment of the invention, each[0023]
control panel 22 can toggle itsrespective controller 20 through one of seven different settings as follows:Setting Duration Frequency 1 0.5 secs. on & 2 secs. off 0.4 pulses/sec. 2 0.5 secs. on & 1 sec. off 0.6 pulses/sec. 3 0.5 secs. on & 0.5 secs. off 1.0 pulses/sec. 4 0.375 secs. on & 0.125 secs. off 2.0 pulses/sec. 5 0.125 secs. on & 0.125 secs. off 4.0 pulses/sec. & followed by 0.625 secs. on & 1.33 pulses/sec. 0.125 secs. off 6 0.375 secs. on & 0.25 secs. off 1.6 pulses/sec. 7 0.25 secs. on & 0.25 secs. off 2.0 pulses/sec. & followed by 2.0 secs. on & 0.44 pulses/sec. 0.25 secs. off - The invention provides a water therapy system which is far more convenient to operate for the user than water therapy stations of the prior art. Unlike water therapy devices of the prior art, a patient can readily adjust water pulsations to his or her body through several different adjustment settings without having to leave the water basin.[0024]
- Having thus described the invention, it should be apparent that numerous structural modifications and adaptations may be resorted to without departing from the scope and fair meaning of the instant invention as set forth hereinabove and as described hereinbelow by the claims.[0025]
