Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hydromassage nozzle, specifically of the type applicable directly on the pipe bringing water under pressure.
  • Hydromassage systems based on the principle of using a stream of water mixed with air have been known and widespread for many years.
  • nozzles fixed permanently in the walls of the tub or container in which the body of the person to be subjected to hydromassage is immersed are known and used.
  • Said nozzles must be connected to the pipe supplying water under pressure and to an air outlet so that in the case of tubs and systems having a certain number of nozzles the plumbing system becomes complicated and costly.
  • the main object of the present invention is to accomplish a hydromassage nozzle of an improved type which allows simplification of the plumbing system and greater flexibility in the arrangement and programming of the hydromassage nozzles.
  • Another object of the present invention is to accomplish a nozzle of smaller size than those conventionally known while retaining the same functionality of operation.
  • the hydromassage nozzle which is characterized in that it comprises a body for water supply and air mixing and a union connectaable to said body and connected to a negative air pressure source, said body having a venturi tube section and being equipped with water inlet openings made in the side wall thereof so that mounting the nozzle transversely to the pipe for supply of water under pressure arranges said openings transversely to the flow of water.
  • said union has a pipe for conveyance of air to the constricted section of the venturi where the air is mixed.
  • the air is conveyed to the outlet of said venturi tube section, the mixing thus taking place downstream therefrom.
  • the nozzle according to the invention which is indicated altogether by reference number 10, comprises a body 11 and a union for air 12.
  • the body consists of a substantially cylindrical block traversed axially by a duct 13 with differentiated section.
  • a front section 14 for outflow with a venturi tube shape; an intermediate section 15 for inlet in transverse direction of the water and a section upstream 16 in which the air suction union 12 is housed.
  • the union 12 comprises a flanged part 17 which is housed in the section 16 and a duct 18 aligned axially with the duct 13 and ending at a short distance from the mouth of the venturi section after traversing the entire section 15.
  • the body 11 has an opening 19 for water inlet.
  • Fig 2 illustrates specifically the mounting of the nozzle 10 in a pipe 20 for supply of water under pressure in the direction of the arrow 21.
  • the nozzle 10 is mounted transversely to the axis of the pipe 20 in a calibrated hole made in the wall opposite said pipe in such a manner that the outflow section protrudes into the hydromassage tub of which the wall 22 is represented.
  • the front part of the nozzle i.e. of the cylindrical block forming the body 11, is threaded as indicated with reference number 23 and said threading is engaged by a shaped locking ring-nut 24 associated with a sealing gasket 27.
  • a pipe 25 for supply or suction of air is connected through an appropriate branch to the section 16 of the nozzle and specifically to the duct 18 of the union 12.
  • the nozzle according to the present invention is smaller that heretofore known nozzles with no effect on functionality and reliability.
  • nozzles according to the invention to accomplish hydromassage arrangements such as those illustrad in Figs. 5 and 6; in the first figure under the tub 26 run the pipes 20 and 25 so that the nozzles 10 deliver a massage stream from the bottom of the tub 26.
  • the nozzle according to the invention allows ready programming of the operation of each nozzle on the basis of the hydromassage cycle and requirements.
  • the nozzle illustrated in Fig. 7 comprises a body 32 which has an axial duct having sections with different diameters and more specifically the inlet section or union 31, the outflow section 33 shaped as a venturi tube, and an intermediate section 34 in which is inserted the union 35 for air inlet.
  • This union is shaped as an elbow in such a manner that its downstream end 36 is aligned with the axis of the section 33 shaped as a venturi tube while the upstream end has a flange 37 to be housed in a chamber 38 communicating with an air suction duct 39.
  • the flange 37 and hence the union 35 are held in position by a plug 40 and by the compression spring 41.
  • FIGs. 8-14 another embodiment of the nozzle according to the present invention, which differs from those illustrated in the above embodiments by the fact that the air is mixed with the water downstream from said section, before the actual outlet rather than inside the venturi tube section, is shown.
  • reference number 120 indicates the water supply duct which runs in the direction of the arrow 121 so that in this case also the nozzle is mounted trnasversely to the duct 120.
  • the nozzle comprises a generally cyllindrical body 111 in which are mounted a front end union, a venturi tube section 51, and a rear end union 52 for air inlet.
  • the union 52 is mounted on an appropriate hole made in the wall of the duct 120 and is illustrated in greater detail in Figs. 12, 13 and 14. More specifically, it comprises a manifold 53 for air inlet and three small tubes which extend to seats in corresponding holes made in the venturi tube section 51.
  • an anular chamber 55 Inside the body 111 is formed an anular chamber 55 into which lead the ducts 54 conveying air to the inlet of the outlet union 50.
  • Said outlet union 50 as can be seen in Figs. 10 and 11 is substantially conical excepting a small terminal counterflare and is fixed to the inside of the body 111 by threading 56 or a similar fastening means.
  • venturi tube section 51 (shown in Fig. 9) is in turn mounted inside the body 111 by threading 57 or by a functionally equivalent means and protrudes toward the mouth of the outlet union 50.
