  • Patent number: 8458825
    Abstract: A jet assembly has internals rotatably and releaseably fit to a jet body, such as that for a spa. The internals have a barrel housing, a rotor and a barrel inlet. The internals as screwed into the jet body. A first threaded portion outside the barrel threadably engages second threaded portion inside the jet body wherein the internals have delimited rotation therein to align and misalign the barrel inlet from a body inlet on the jet body to control flow on and off respectively. The threaded portion within the jet body can be a locking ring affixed therein by fasteners or integral with the jet body. Rotation can be delimited by a projection on the barrel and a cooperating annular delimiting surface on the locking ring, such as circumferentially-spaced detents.

  • Publication number: 20050144714
    Abstract: A moisture barrier for a rigid insulating panel of a spa cover is a laminate bag of at least two layers. A first layer of polyethylene plastic film is bonded with at least a second and inner layer of metalized plastic film to form the laminate bag. A third layer of polyester is optionally provided and which is enveloped within second layer as an additional moisture barrier. The laminate bag has at least an open end which is adapted for receiving the panel and which is sealed. The sealed laminate bag can be evacuated for additional insulating characteristics.
