ABSTRACT:
A water jet massage apparatus comprises a platform having a bench mounted thereon, and an overlying lid arranged for pivotal movement between an open position in which a person may gain access to the bench and a closed position in which the lid is lowered onto the bench. The lid includes top, front, rear, and opposite side walls, and also has a bottom wall formed of flexible, water-proof material which drapes over and covers a person reclining on the bench when the lid is closed. The water-tight cavity in the lid defined by the aforementioned walls contains a laterally extending, longitudinally movable water manifold which mounts and supplies water to a plurality of pulsating water jet spray heads which direct a multitude of pulsating jets of water downward onto the flexible bottom wall which loosely covers a person reclining on the bench, keeping him dry. Spent water from the water jet heads finds its way to side gutters in the chamber whereupon the water drains from the water-tight cavity into a holding tank where it is reheated and recycled continuously. The effect is a multitude of pulsating massaging water jets impinging on the flexible material draped across the body, the spray head assembly also moving longitudinally through the chamber from head to toe or any desired portion thereof.
