  • Patent number: 9808398
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 8408728
    Abstract: A fixture for through hole mounting to a panel includes a flange structure fabricated of a translucent material. The flange structure includes a body portion adapted to extend through a mount hole in the panel and having a outer peripheral portion, and a transverse flange portion having an outer size larger than the hole opening. A periphery flange portion overlaps the panel surrounding the hole when the flange structure is installed in the panel hole. A light source attachment portion is configured to direct light emitted from a light source into the body portion of the flange structure, so that at least some of the emitted light passes into the flange portion to illuminate the flange portion.

  • Patent number: 8191183
    Abstract: A suction fitting assembly for a bathing installation includes a cover with a pattern of orifices, a wall fitting, and an adapter structure. The wall fitting is configured for insertion through a hole in a wall of a bathing water receptacle, and may be secured in place with a locking nut. The cover is fastened to the wall fitting on the bather side of the wall. A suction adapter structure is connected to the wall fitting. A function of the suction adaptor structure is to admit air through an air tube from the atmosphere to the suction line during a blocked condition, rendering pump operation ineffective.

  • Publication number: 20080010735
    Abstract: The present water jet provides an apparatus method and system for producing water flow within a pool or spa. A pump body contains a pump assembly with an impeller for aspirating water. In one embodiment an apparatus for producing fluid flow in a pool includes a pump body, an impeller for aspirating a fluid in the pump body, a jet nozzle for directing fluid aspirated by the impeller out of the pump body and a front cover attachable to the pump body wherein the front cover includes a fluid intake structure allowing fluid ingress from outside the pump body. The fluid intake structure includes ports distal from a front cover opening for the jet nozzle. The fluid intake structure is positioned to allow fluid flow ingress substantially parallel to the fluid flow egress from the apparatus.
