FLUID PUMP FOR DISPENSING A FLUID TO A SETTING OR WORK ENVIRONMENT
A fluid pump for dispensing a fluid to a setting or work environment is disclosed. A fluid pump having a contactless, fluid sensor and for use with a liner is also disclosed. The pump includes a jet assembly, a motor assembly, and a contactless, fluid sensor. The pump may further include a mounting housing member, a gasket or seal, and a liner when a liner is not already present. The jet assembly is coupled to or secured about the motor assembly. The jet assembly includes a jet assembly housing, and preferably also includes a printed circuit board (PCB), a PCB cover, a shaft assembly, and an impeller. The jet assembly housing includes a base, a top cover, an impeller-receiving chamber, at least one inlet aperture, and at least one outlet aperture. A pump apparatus that includes a pump as described, a power source, and/or a control apparatus is further disclosed.

FOOT SPA WITH ILLUMINATION
An improved mount is of the type used in a foot spa. The foot spa is of the type having a surface which defines a vessel for containing water and a pump magnetically driven by rotating magnets. The mount defines part of the surface and holds the pump against rotation. The improvement comprises: a coil associated with the mount and disposed exteriorly of the surface of the basin and interiorly of the magnetic field produced by the rotating magnets to produce a current; a plurality of lights operatively connected to the coil; and light conductivity associated with the mount to permit the light to be visible interiorly of the basin.
Soaking basin having magnetic jet
A soaking basin is provided having a magnetic jet assembly positioned to provide a therapeutic liquid circulation within the basin. The magnetic jet includes an impeller assembly and a drive assembly. The impeller assembly operatively coupled to the magnetic drive assembly only via magnetic attraction, such that a basin wall and a disposable liner are disposed between the impeller assembly and the magnetic drive assembly.
BATHING INSTALLATION USER INTERFACE PANEL WITH LARGE ACTIVE DISPLAY AREA
An exemplary embodiment of a user interface display panel includes a top or cover glass layer which extends to the perimeter of the panel housing. A touch-sensitive display layer is adhered to the bottom surface of cover glass layer to form a touch sensitive display assembly. In exemplary embodiments, the arrangement results in an active touch-sensitive display area significantly larger than display areas provided in the past by interface panels.
FOOT SPA WITH UV LIGHTS
A spa is provided that includes: a basin; a motor having a shaft defining a rotation axis; a hub mounted to the shaft, the hub having North and South pole domains spaced apart from each other and arranged to encircle the rotation axis in alternating relation; and an impeller which is disposed in the basin in axially spaced relation to the hub and is at least substantially constrained against movement but for rotation about the axis, the impeller including a rotor body of a non-magnetic, electrically-conductive material having relatively low magnetic permeability. The improvement in which is that there are lights and coils coupled to the impeller for rotation therewith, the lights and coils being coupled and adapted such that, in use, the rotating magnetic fields associated with the drive hub created induced currents in the coils which actuate the lights and create a net force that rotates the impeller.
HYDROTHERAPY MACHINE
A hydrotherapy machine includes an outer shell, a drive component, and a waterproof inner container. The outer shell is provided with a first accommodating cavity, a first water inlet, and a first water outlet. The first accommodating cavity, the first water inlet, and the first water outlet are in communication with each other. The drive component includes a control motherboard, a power supply, a drive motor, and a fan blade. The power supply is electrically connected to the drive motor. The drive motor is provided with a drive shaft. The fan blade is sleeved on the drive shaft, so that the drive motor drives the fan blade to rotate through rotation of the drive shaft. The waterproof inner container is positioned inside the first accommodating cavity. The waterproof inner container is provided with a sealed second accommodating cavity and a first installation opening in communication with the second accommodating cavity.
INFLATABLE SWIMMING POOL
An integrated connection device may connect a controller to a swimming pool that may include one or more features requiring electricity. The integrated connection device may include an air passageway and an electrical conductor. Thus, the integrated connection device may transport air to the swimming pool and at least partially conceal the electrical conductor that connects the one or more electrical features to the controller.
