ABSTRACT:
A personal sauna has a horizontally extending bed for supporting an individual in a recumbent position, and combines the benefits of heat and vibration by means of a transversely recirculating air system and a motive means which simultaneously moves the bed with both relatively fast vibrations and relatively slow, longitudinally oscillating rocking motions. The air recirculation system comprises a chamber extending longitudinally beneath the bed supporting the individual, and two elongated heating elements disposed below opposite side regions of the bed heat air which is then directed upwardly to a compartment surrounding the body at substantially equal airflow rates along the entire length of the bed. Transverse airflow through the compartment minimizes the face velocity of the flowing air, and thereby reduces the likelihood of drafts while substantially eliminating the occurrence of localized relatively hot regions within the compartment. A headrest, stationary relative to the osciallating bed, supports the head exteriorly of the compartment and introduction of fresh air into a region surrounded by U-shaped walls provides an air curtain for minimizing the escape of heated air from the compartment, while supplying a sufficient quantity of fresh, cool air for breathing purposes.
