Abstract
A structure is disclosed which is particularly suitable for isolating individuals from all types of environmental stimuli. The structure is portable and includes a inflatable housing having a liquid containing portion at the base thereof. A high density liquid, such as a salt saturated water solution, is placed in the water containing compartment to provide a floatation pool which can accommodate human beings. A temperature control system is provided for maintaining the interior at a constant temperature, and a system is also provided for supplying fresh breathing air and for purifying the fluid.
Claims16
A portable isolation module for reducing ordinary levels of stimulation comprising:
- an inflatable enclosure of sufficient size to accommodate at least one adult;
- inflatable containing means at the base of said inflatable enclosure containing a pool of a high density liquid of sufficient size for supporting at least one adult in a state of floatation;
- said inflatable containing means including an inflatable bottom portion supporting said liquid on a cushion of contained gas for minimizing the transmission of external stimuli of an acoustic nature into said liquid;
- air supply means coupled to said inflatable enclosure for supplying fresh air to the interior of said enclosure;
- and
- temperature control means coupled to said inflatable containing means for maintaining the temperature of said high density liquid near normal body temperature.
