Apparatus, system, and method for concentrating a stream of water
An apparatus, system and method are disclosed for manipulating a user's erogenous zone. The apparatus includes a chamber, a plurality of baffling elements, and a concentration member. The chamber has a first end opposing a second end. The first end of the chamber is communicable in water receiving communication with a water source. The plurality of baffling elements are positioned within the chamber and are configured to interrupt a flow of water received from the first end of the chamber. The concentration member defines a channel having a water receiving end and a water dispensing end. The channel has a converging cross-sectional area in a direction from the water receiving end to the water dispensing end with the water receiving end communicable in water receiving communication with water flowing past the baffling elements.

To this end, the present invention includes a lower housing having an upper flange and a lower flange, an impeller for rotating by a motor, which is provided to the lower housing, so as to generate suction force, an upper housing coupled to an upper portion of the lower housing by a coupling means and having a suction holes and a discharge holes, two or more slider rails vertically provided on the outside of the lower housing, a mounting bolt provided to the upper and lower flanges, so as to be positioned at one side of the slider rail, a slider fitted with the mounting bolt, and a slider holder inserted into the slider so as to be screw-coupled with the mounting bolt.
TOWEL WARMER FOR USE IN CONJUNCTION WITH A HOT TUB
A retrofittable towel warmer for use with a hot tub preferably comprises a flexible conduit portion which is attachable to one of the jets of the hot tub together with a rigid thermally conductive portion which is detachably mountable on an exterior mast support. There is also preferably provided an exterior housing surrounding the thermally conductive portion designed to provide maximum thermal contact with the cloth material to be heated. The entire unit may be immersed in the hot tub or pool water when not in use. In an alternate embodiment a container having a thermally absorptive medium is provided in a structure which is easily mounted on the mast. In an alternate embodiment a container having a thermally absorptive medium is provided in a structure which is easily mounted on a supporting mast.
Rotating control panel
A control panel for an enclosed space, set into a cutout in the wall of the enclosed space, that can rotate at least 180 degrees so as to be accessible from either the inside or the outside of the enclosed space.
INTELLIGENT POOL APPARATUS
A pool apparatus for users to do activities in the pool apparatus. The pool apparatus includes a pool main body, one or more than one reaction deices and a control circuit. The control circuit is connected to the reaction device and controls the reaction device according to a setting to increase additional functions of the pool apparatus. When the control circuit is connected to an external device via at least one wireless network, a user may use the external device to adjust the setting. The external device does not need to be paired with the control circuit in advance. Instead, the external device interacts with the control circuit via a protocol to access and adjust the setting.
SHOWER HEAD WITH A TOROIDAL PULSATOR AND A MAGNETIC RING
The invention relates to a shower arm with a torus regulator and a magnetic ring that is comprised of a body (1) with a body head (25), a bell (2), a cover (3), a torus (4), a mixing element (5), a ring (6), a pin (7) and a barrier (9) on the cover, a barrier (8) and a nozzle (10) on the bell, a cavity (11) for water inlet, an inlet (12) of water into the shower head (25), a space (13), a gap (14) on the mixing element, a chamber (15), gaskets (16) and (17), a thread (18), a space (19) for directed flow, pins (20) and a groove (21) on the ring, a groove (22) on the bell, a thread (23) for connecting a hose, a support surface (24) a magnetic ring (26) and an output spray (27) of water and air. When the water circulates within the space (19) underneath the torus (4), negative pressure—vacuum occurs from both the internal and the external sides of the torus cross-section that conditions suction of the air from the chamber (15) of the cone of the bell (2). This air is suctioned through the nozzle (10). In the space below the mixing element (5) the air and the water swirl which alternately enter into the air/water mixture and form a wide conical spray (27). The bell is provided with the groove (22), into which the ring (6) with pins (20) is tightly inserted. The pins are made from a soft material and serve for mechanical massage of the skin and the crown of the hair. On the other side in the ring there is the groove (21), into which the magnetic ring (26) is inserted. Its role is to normalize the water crystals and to arrange them into a natural shape. The nozzle (10) for spray outlet has an orifice large enough in order not to clog due to impurities in the water and limescale.
HIGH FLOW WATER RETURN FITTING FOR SWIMMING POOLS AND SPAS
The high flow water return filling of the present invention is designed to connect directly to the end of a water return pipe in a swimming pool, spa, or the like. Water return fittings have been available for many years and have the primary purpose of returning filtered water back into a swimming pool, spa, or the like. However, the water return fitting of the present invention does not only return water into the swimming pool, it also substantially increases the water outflow so that a greater area of water in the pool can be circulated or agitated. In addition, the present invention has a uniquely curved nozzle that does not extend past the face plate, thus, the nozzle does not extend more than one inch from the swimming pool wall. The outflow from the nozzle creates a low pressure condition within the face plate. Thus, the low pressure condition draws water in from the swimming pool through various gaps into the face plate where it is mixed with the outflow of water from the nozzle to increase the total amount of water flowing out of the water return fitting of the present invention.
Foot spa tub pump and method
A foot spa tub includes a tub basin, a first magnetic drive member rotatably coupled to a drive motor, and a first casing supporting the magnetic drive member. The first casing is disposed against an exterior surface of a sidewall of the basin. A second magnetic drive member is rotatably coupled to a blade. The first and second magnetic drive members are magnetically coupled to each other so that the blade is drivingly coupled to the drive motor. A nozzle houses the second magnetic drive member and the blade. The nozzle is detachably securable to an interior surface of the sidewall by a magnetic attraction force between the first and second magnetic drive members. A method of circulating liquid in a foot tub spa is also provided.
System and method for dynamic device discovery and address assignment
A pool or spa system includes networked pool or spa devices that can be dynamically configured with network address by a controller. The controller can transmit a device discovery request on a network and can receive a discovery response from pool or spa devices that require a network address. The system determines and assigns the network addresses for the pool or spa devices based on unique device identifiers associated with the responding pool or spa devices. The network addresses assigned to the pool or spa device are transmitted to the pool or spa device to be used by the pool or spa devices to communicate with the controller over the network. The system can be used to discover and assign addresses to various types of pool or spa devices, such as pumps, underwater lights, chlorinators, water feature controllers, remote controllers, and/or other types of devices.
Treatment method and apparatus with a system for controlling the flow of the gaseous medium
The invention relates to a treatment apparatus comprising an envelope that can be placed on or around a body part of a person such that the envelope has a positioning area (Z) for said body part of the person, the envelope being provided with an inlet (8) for a gaseous medium and an outlet for discharging the gaseous medium present in the envelope. According to the invention, the apparatus comprises a control system (11) for controlling the flow of the gaseous medium in order to direct the gaseous medium entering the envelope via the inlet (8) outside the positioning area (Z), and to homogenise the gaseous medium present in the envelope.
