Abstract
Disclosed is a disposable for use with a structure having a vessel surface that defines a vessel for receiving liquid. The disposable includes a pad and a layer. The pad has a pair of surfaces spaced apart from one another by a tubular sidewall. The pad is permeable to air flow. One of the pair of surfaces is positioned, in use, against the vessel surface. The layer overlies the other of the pair of surfaces and is at least substantially impermeable to air flow. In use, gas is introduced into the pad and issues through the sidewall in the form of bubbles. The disposable is useful in association with foot spas and the like.
Claims17
A disposable single use bubble generator for use with a pedicure basin having a surface that defines a vessel for receiving liquid, the disposable single use bubble generator comprising:
- a pad having a pair of surfaces spaced apart from one another by a sidewall, the pad being permeable to air flow, a first surface of the pair of surfaces being configured to be secured to the pedicure basin surface;
- a seal layer overlying a second surface of the pair of surfaces, the seal layer being at least substantially impermeable to air flow;
- and a tube having an inlet and an outlet, the inlet configured to be positioned outside of the pad on a first side of the sidewall, the outlet configured to be positioned on a second side of the sidewall, the tube configured to introduce gas into the pad, the pad configured to release gas through the sidewall;
- and
- wherein the pair of surfaces are opposing surfaces.
A disposable single use bubble generator for use with a pedicure basin having a surface that defines a vessel for receiving liquid, the disposable single use bubble generator comprising:
- a pad having a pair of surfaces spaced apart from one another by a sidewall and being permeable to air flow, the pad defining a central void, a seal layer placed over a second of the pair of surfaces being at least substantially impermeable to air, a first surface of the pair of surfaces being configured to be secured to the pedicure basin surface;
- a tube having an inlet and an outlet, the tube configured to be received by the channel, the inlet configured to be positioned outside of the pad on a first side of the sidewall, the outlet configured to be positioned inside the void, the tube configured to introduce gas into the pad, the pad configured to release gas through the sidewall;
- and
- wherein the pair of surfaces are opposing surfaces.
