Abstract: A combination spa and electronic entertainment system is disclosed. The spa includes a tub with an upper edge from which horizontal surfaces extend. The surfaces have apertures through which water-tight housings may be raised and lowered. The housings hold components of the entertainment system and have tops larger in size than the apertures to form sealing areas engageable with the horizontal surfaces surrounding the apertures for sealing the apertures and the water-tight housings. A moving mechanism is provided to raise and lower the housings. The mechanism has a platform supported on a carriage movable vertically along a support column. A motor raises and lowers the platforms through a cable and pulley system. A motion limiting device having a pivoting arm which engages sensors communicating with the motor through a control system shuts the motor off in response to predetermined upper and lower limits of cable tension.

Abstract: A water tub for applying magnetic flux to a human back and neck including a water retaining wall whereagainst a human may place his back. Permanent magnets are affixed on the outside surface of the water retaining wall with an adhesive. The retaining wall and adhesive are made of non-magnetic materials. The magnetic flux field of each of the magnets travels through the retaining wall and beyond the wall inside surface and into a human's back placed adjacent thereto. A neck support pillow made of compressible foam is supported generally at the top of the water retaining wall and is adapted to support a human's neck. Magnets are embedded within the foam whereby the magnetic flux field thereof travels out from the pillow and beyond the inner surface into a human's neck placed adjacent thereto.
