Vibratory sauna

A vibratory sauna comprising:

• a housing including a lower housing member and an upper closure member forming a cover member rotatably connected to said lower housing member, said lower housing member including a base,
• an elongated support member mounted on said lower housing member oriented in a substantially horizontal plane,
• a bed container holding a liquid positioned on said support member and capable of supporting the torso of a person in a supine position,
• head support means located adjacent said lower housing member and outwardly of said closure member to form a longitudinal extension of said support member,
• vibration means in the form of a pulsating pump operatively connected to said liquid in said bed container for creating rhythmical pulsating in said liquid in said bed container,
• said cover member forming a upper compartment,
• said torso being positioned in said compartment,
• said lower housing member forming a chamber below said support member,
• heating means for heating ambient air,
• air flow generation means for forcing heating and ambient air, and
• chamber means having an inlet end and an opposite outlet end positioned within and mounted in said chamber, said heating means being positioned in said chamber means and said airflow generation means being associated with an inlet end of said chamber means, said chamber means being for receiving ambient air from said compartment at said inlet end, and passing said ambient air to an opposite outlet end back to said compartment in a flow of air as one part of a continuous closed circulation loop of air in said housing, said loop including a flow of heated air above said support member to contact said person lying thereon while said liquid in said bed container is adapted to be simultaneously pulsated, the flow of heated air above said person including the other part of said continuous circulation loop.

A sauna comprising:

• a housing including a lower housing member and an upper closure member forming a cover member rotatably connected to said lower housing member, said lower housing member including a base,
• a support member mounted on said lower housing member oriented in a substantially horizontal plane for supporting the torso of a person in a supine position,
• head support means located adjacent to said lower housing member and outwardly of said closure member to form a longitudinal extension of said support member,
• said cover member forming an upper compartment, said torso being positioned in said compartment,
• said lower housing member forming a chamber below said support member,
• heating means for heating ambient air,
• airflow generation means for forcing heated and ambient air, and
• chamber means positioned within and sealed from said chamber, said heating means being positioned in said chamber means, and said airflow generation means being associated with at least one inlet and at least one outlet of said chamber means, said chamber means being for receiving ambient air from said compartment at said inlet and passing said ambient air to said outlet back to said compartment in a flow of air as one part of a continuous closed circulation of air in said housing, said continuous closed circulation including a flow of heated air above said support member to contact the person lying thereon while said support member is adapted to be simultaneously vibrated, the other part of said continuous closed circulation of air being a flow of heated air above the person.

• a support member mounted on said lower housing member oriented in a substantially horizontal plane for supporting the torso of a person in a supine position,
• head support means located adjacent to said lower housing member and outwardly of said closure member to form a longitudinal extension of said support member,
• resilient mounting means positioned in said lower housing member for supporting said support member,
• vibration means operatively connected to said support member for vibrating said support member,
• said cover member forming an upper compartment, said torso being positioned in said compartment,
• said lower housing member forming a chamber below said support member,
• airflow generation means for forcing air, humidifying means positioned downstream of said airflow generation means for moistening the air being forced, and
• chamber means positioned within and sealed from said chamber, said airflow generation means being associated with at least one inlet and at least one outlet of said chamber means, said chamber means being for receiving air from said compartment via said airflow generation means at said inlet and passing the air to said outlet back to said compartment in a general flow of air as one part of a continuous closed circulation of air in said housing, said continuous closed circulation including a flow of air above said support member to contact the person lying thereon while said support member is adapted to be simultaneously vibrated, the other part of said continuous closed circulation of air being a flow of air above the person.
