ABSTRACT:
A portable whirlpool or hydrotherapy bath assembly of the type which mounts on the upper edge of the wall of a bath tub. The assembly includes a motor housing, a spaced generally upright pump housing, and an overhead support which is secured to the upper ends of both housings. The pump drive shaft is mounted in an upright position in the pump housing. Means are provided for rotatably mounting the pump housing to the overhead support for rotation about the axis of the drive shaft. A pump impeller is mounted on the lower end of the drive shaft in a pump chamber which is unitary with the pump housing. A water inlet is positioned at the lower central portion thereof. A water volume control is provided for adjusting the volume of water passing through the water inlet. The pump impeller raises the pressure of the water and the pressurized water is passed through the water outlet which is unitary with the pump housing and is rotatable with the pump housing for changing the direction of pressurized water flowing from the outlet. Means are provided for mixing air with the pressurized water for aeration thereof. Control means are provided for varying the volume of air mixed with the water. A flexible hose may be connected to the water outlet, and alternatively, more than one such hose may be connected to the water outlet. A nozzle is connected to the outer end of each hose and is used to direct pressurized water to a localized part of the user's body.
