Abstract
A portable spa is particularly suited for use by an individual. The portable spa includes a housing defining an interior having a pair of rear wheels disposed beneath a rear side edge of the base of the housing. A hinged door provides access to the interior while an aperture and circumferential seal is disposed upon an upper surface of the housing. This enables for a portion of the body of a user to be situated above and exterior to the housing. An adjustable seat, control panel, water reservoir, condensate pan, aromatherapy oil reservoir and electrical heating unit are secured within the housing. The spa also comprises an oven limit safety thermostat to prevent overheating. An exterior switch actuates the spa.
Claims19
A portable spa system, comprising:
- a steam generating unit adapted to produce a steaming spa treatment for a user residing within an interior of the portable spa system;
- a planar shell having a planar base and a planar right sidewall;
- a door having a planar left sidewall and a sloping front wall;
- an upper opening having a rigid rim located on an upper perimeter edge of the door and the shell;
- a skirt having a first edge that is affixed to the rim and a second edge, the skirt is bifurcated, the second edge of the skirt is bound by an elastic band having a cover, the door is closed against the shell when a plurality of bifurcated ends of the skirt and a plurality of bifurcated ends of the elastic band abut each other;
- a mating fastener attaching the bifurcated ends of the skirt and the elastic band together to create a continuous skirt about the rim and the upper opening;
- a condensate tray extending into the base and in environmental communication with the interior of the portable spa system, the condensate tray includes a front wall, a right sidewall and a left sidewall continuous with the overall profile of the shell and the door when the door is shut against the shell, the condensate tray is sized to contain an amount of condensate produced during operation of the steam generating unit and a rear wall of the condensate tray abuts a rear of the base when the door is shut against the shell;
- a tray handle integrally formed within the front wall of the condensate tray;
- a grate seated superjacent to the condensate tray to enable condensate generated during operation from the steam generating unit to pass therethrough and collect in the condensate tray;
- a control circuit is located either on the steam generating unit or within the shell, when the steam generating unit is fully inserted into a bottom opening of a rear wall of the shell and the control circuit is within the shell;
- a window adapted to enable the user to view a volume remaining in a reservoir of the steam generating unit, the window located on at least one sidewall of the steam generating unit, the steam generating unit is sized to have clearance between an open top of the reservoir and a bottom surface of a foot support when the steam generating unit is fully inserted into the bottom opening;
- and
- a pair of legs located on an external side of the rear wall of the shell, which are selectively deployed when the portable spa system is located at a desired position and in use, the pair of legs provide additional secure support from inadvertent movement.
