Patent number: 6745412Abstract: A portable and personal sauna that provides an inexpensive and easy to operate system, which provides steam with low operating costs. The portable sauna has an electric steamer with a timer, a safety thermostat, and a plate for containing herbs. When steam passes through the herb plate, the herbal steam can provide some healthy benefits to users. The preferable and safest place for the steamer is outside of the tub/shower area, where a flexible tube is used to guide the steam inside the tub/shower area.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2003Date of Patent: June 8, 2004Inventor: Zoltan Egeresi

Patent number: 6339854Abstract: A personal steamer comprising an assembly of three pieces: a base tub and liner tub and a lid. The liner tub is body-shaped to form a foot, a seat, a back and side walls forming a steam enclosure. A lid, hinged at the foot, can be pivoted to a vertical, low stress vertical position, or closed for use. The liner tub is formed of ABS and reinforced with fiberglass on its underside where it is protected from the steam. The liner tub is fitted into the base tub and foamed together, forming a base assembly. Steam is conducted through a fitting in the base tub and through a conduit to a horn outlet at the user's feet. The steam is discharged away from the user and towards the lid, deflecting back to into the enclosure. U-shaped conduits and fans recirculate steam in the enclosure. A portable steam generator is coupled with the cabinet for providing constant temperature steam very quickly.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2000Date of Patent: January 22, 2002Assignee: SPA Logic Inc.Inventor: Darcy S.

Patent number: 5511254Abstract: A portable steam sauna that provides a framing structure having a plurality of detachable framing members and coupling members wherein each coupling member releasably engages at least two framing members for manually assembling and disassembling the framing structure while utilizing a flexible, light-weight, soft, steamproof enclosure material for forming a steamproof enclosure. The framing structure utilizes light-weight, non-metallic, rigid framing members and coupling members having hollow cylindrical structures. The framing members and coupling members are preferably fabricated from a conventional polyvinyl chloride which will remain comfortable to a user's touch even in elevated temperatures. The releasable engagement between the coupling members and the framing members is a frictional fit to assure the framing structure remains assembled when said steam sauna is in use while also allowing for the manual disassembly and reassembly of the framing structure when the portable steam sauna is not in use.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 1994Date of Patent: April 30, 1996Assignee: Evergreen Soft Spa, Inc.Inventor: Michael P. O'Brien

Patent number: 5259787Abstract: An electrical junction block mounting assembly includes a cantilever beam formed on an outer wall of the junction block and is provided with a transversely extending channel for engagement with a support structure. The cantilever beam is attached to the junction block by means of a resilient hinge section and is provided with a first arm section extending between the hinge section and the channel and a second arm section extending beyond the channel. The first arm section has a sloping surface sloping away from the outer wall between the hinge section and the channel, and the second arm section has a sloping surface sloping toward the wall beyond the channel. The sloping surfaces will contact a mounting rail or similar support structure during installation of the junction block thereby deflecting the hinged cantilever beam until the rail is in alignment with the channel for engagement with the structural support member.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 1992Date of Patent: November 9, 1993Inventor: Norman R. Byrne

Patent number: 4277855Abstract: A portable sauna is described, being formed in the shape of a sphere. A door leads into a spherical shaped room wherein a bench extends about a central circular floor. Above the bench is a loft lying adjacent a plane that passes through the center point of the spherical shape. The sauna may be selectively heated by any combination of heat lamps, dry heated air blower, and a steam generator, all of which operate on common household current. Water for the steam generator is supplied by a self-contained reservoir. Ventilation can be controlled by the occupant through a skylight ventilator or automatically through a valve mechanism interconnected with the blower. The valve mechanism is operable to recirculate room air or to receive indirect outside air into the room. Selectively controlled lighting and audio systems are also included to allow further control of the enclosed environment.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 1980Date of Patent: July 14, 1981Inventor: Glen Poss
