Integrated manifold and valve assembly
An integrated valve and manifold assembly includes a water valve configured to control water flow from one or two valve outlets. At least one of the outlets is coupled to a manifold. In some examples, the manifold is a dual-extrusion manifold having at least one air channel and at least one water conduit, and the water valve has a pair of air channels attached to a periphery of the water valve and configured to couple to the manifold air channels. In examples wherein at least one of the manifolds is a dual-extrusion manifold, a top portion of the assembly includes an air valve configured to control flow of air to air channel(s) of the dual-extrusion manifold. In other examples, the assembly includes a one-outlet or two-outlet water valve configured to couple to water manifolds, with no attached air channels or air valves.
Device and method for the application of a curable fluid composition to a portion of a bodily organ
Disclosed are devices and methods suitable for application of a curable fluid composition to a bodily organ, such as to a lower portion of a bodily organ. The device comprises a monolithic piece of material having a lower surface, two spaced-apart sides, and two spaced-apart walls connecting the two spaced-apart sides. A receptacle for containing the curable fluid composition is defined by the lower surface, the two sides, and the two walls. At least a portion of the height of the two walls is less than the height of at least a portion of the two sides. The device is deployable underneath the bodily organ such that a lower portion of the bodily organ is supported by at least a portion of each of the two walls.
MULTIDIRECTIONAL HYDROTHERAPY TUB COPLANAR FLOW
A hydrotherapy tub coplanar flow device includes a body mounted onto an inner surface of the hydrotherapy tub. The body includes at least one set of oppositely faced coplanar flow nozzles allowing coplanar flow to occur in opposite directions from the device. The device includes a hollow internal channel therein extending continually from a first slotted nozzle at one end of the body to a second slotted nozzle at a second end of the body that water from a water supply inlet can flow in both directions within the hollow channel towards both slotted nozzles.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SEALING COMPONENTS IN A SPA SHELL
Disclosed are systems and methods for sealing components in a spa shell. A through-component body, such as a spa jet, extends from the inner side of the spa shell to an outer side of the spa shell. A retaining member includes at least one injection port, and retains the through-component body in place on the outer side of the spa shell. A sealant is injected into the at least one injection port to seal a space between the outer side of the spa shell and the through-component body.
ROTOMOLDED SPA AND METHOD OF HANDLING A SPA
There is disclosed a spa. The spa generally having a unibody shell having a base, a peripheral wall extending from the base up to a rim portion, a basin suspended from the rim portion, and at least one opening in the peripheral wall, the basin, the rim portion, the peripheral wall and the base defining a cavity therebetween, the at least one opening exposing the cavity, the base having a pair of channels recessed from the base towards the cavity; and a modular panel having a main panel covering the opening while exposing the pair of channels, and a subpanel engageable to the main panel and covering at least partially the pair of channels.
Modular sauna heater and method for constructing a sauna
Modular infrared heater units for a sauna and methods for constructing a sauna. The infrared heater units include one or more heating elements disposed in a housing. The housing is configured for direct mounting on walls of a structure and includes a pigtail for coupling to a controller. The housing is dimensioned to accommodate a paneling or other cladding on the walls and includes a trim frame that obscures edges of the cladding adjacent to the heater unit. Construction of a sauna unit includes mounting of a plurality of the heater units on walls of the structure; electrically communicably coupling the heater units to a controller; and providing any desired cladding to the interior of the structure.
Enclosed emergency wash cabinets
Various apparatus and methods for providing emergency washing including means for discouraging tampering of the various valves.
Apparatus and method for deploying a surgical preparation
A device used for applying an antiseptic preparation, such as an antibiotic solution or water, or all other substance deemed necessary in treating a wound prior to arrival at a hospital or other treatment facility or for continuing wound therapy and maintenance while hospitalized, in an out-patient facility or at home. A loose-fitting bag is provided which encloses the wound by securing the open end(s) to the patient by closing means. The bag further includes ports or resealable flaps that allow access to the wound for treatment and cleaning while containing all fluids resulting therefrom. A high friction scrub surface is provided in the bag. A method and apparatus are also provided for wound maintenance with a lavage system.
Spa system
A spa system having a chair attachment and a tabletop device. The chair attachment includes a receptacle which is removably attachable to a chair which has a motor for providing bubble treatments. The receptable includes a housing attachment having water jets to provide a spa treatment to a user. Further, the receptacle allows for a user to submerge their entire hand within water located in the receptacle. Additionally, the tabletop device is mounted onto a table to then aid in providing spa treatment for a user. Each device contains a compartment that is attachable to the side of the device which contains various utensils to aid a user in a manicure.
Compensation ring/load washer for spa fittings
A sealing method and corresponding compensation ring, or alternately called a load washer, for use in portable spas or bath tubs that can be installed as part of an assembly when attaching fittings that go through a hole in a spa wall. The method and ring are used to compensate for the uneven surface of spa walls and the necessity that the fitting assembly provides that the fitting chosen sits parallel with the inside of the spa wall regardless of the shape of the surface of the wall, whether it is uniform or not. The fitting fits between a nut and the back/plumbing side of the spa wall with the fitting of choice and securing gasket being inserted into the assembly on the front/aesthetic/water side of the spa wall.
