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.

MULTI-STAGE FLUIDIC OSCILLATOR WITH VARIABLE FREQUENCY ASSEMBLY AND METHOD
20230173510 · 2023-06-08 ·

A multi-stage fluidic oscillating circuit and system can produce an output spray of selectively varying frequency, even though the fluid supplied to the circuit/system is maintained at a substantially constant pressure. The circuit is characterized by two successive stages, each having a power nozzle aligned around a central axis. Upstream and downstream inertance loops are included in each of the stages, with fluid from one of these loops being selectively released to affect the frequency change in the output spray. The circuit is also characterized by a splitter and optional dog ear style protrusions formed in the outlet of the circuit.

Shuttle jet

A hydrotherapy shuttle jet apparatus that provides for the movement of a movable shuttle wherein the movable shuttle reciprocates back and forth along the center axis of the jet apparatus with the application of pressurized water flow wherein the movable shuttle has a specific shape and size as to move within a cavity in the jet that is held in place through the force of the eddy currents created by the pressurized water flow. The shuttle is able to maintain its position substantially centered on the center axis.

SMART SPA SHOWER COLUMN

Smart spa shower column, including a compartment containing a roller) which cleans it by pressure by a perforated tube and which is located in the lower part of a chassis that houses a motor and a spindle that provides vertical movement to a roller that is attached to the chassis by arms, one of which houses a motor which gives rotation to the roller and the other arm houses a mechanism for locking the roller in its stop position and a tube that provides water and/or soap to the roller; and where the chassis houses an electronic control unit and a power supply battery. The chassis is solidly attached at the top to a shower system which incorporates a dispenser and a presence sensor.

SPA NOZZLE WITH VARIABLE CROSS-SECTION INERTANCE LOOPS ASSEMBLY AND METHOD
