  • Publication number: 20250090924
    Abstract: A system and method for circulating water in a swim spa. A recessed chamber formed in the shell of the spa defines a space to hold at least a portion of a first, upper horizontal water propulsion device and at least a portion of a second, lower vertical water propulsion device. The first, upper horizontal flow of water is combined with the second, lower vertical flow of water to create a third, horizontal flow of water. The resulting turbulence is lower, creating a more laminar flow and better user swimming experience. Jet bodies with side intakes may maximize capacity of the water propulsion devices.

  • Patent number: 12232598
    Abstract: A system and method for providing a hammock for a user to rest thereon in the water of the spa. The hammock may include a proximal end with head support portion and one or more attachment means for connection to an anchor on the spa shell, and a distal end with one or more attachment means for connection to an anchor on the spa shell. One or more lateral coupling members may couple the hammock to the lateral sides of the spa, and one or more longitudinal coupling members may couple the hammock to a front side and/or back side of the spa. The longitudinal and lateral coupling members may support the hammock in the water to give the user a unique flotation experience.

  • Patent number: 9960541
    Abstract: A subsea connector includes a recess arranged on an inner surface of the housing of the subsea connector. The recess is configured to receive a canted coil spring such that it provides an electrical multi-point contact between an outer shielding layer, sometimes referred to as a screen, of a subsea cable. The subsea connector further includes a link configured to releasably attach an earth link wire to the housing.
