Vibratory sauna

Abstract

A personalized sauna comprising an elongated, horizontally extending bed which is connected to a supporting pedestal. The bed is positioned at least partially within the pedestal and is designed to an individual in a horizontal position. The sauna also includes a structure for uniformly directing downwardly heated, recirculating air above and over the top of the bed to provide an air shower and a flow of air over a person lying on the bed. The structure includes a cover member, hingedly mounted to the pedestal at the end which extends substantially along the entire length of the bed. An elongated upper chamber is formed within the cover member and extends substantially along the entire length of the cover member. A duct is formed on the cover and has air outlet openings leading from the duct to the chamber for introducing recirculated air into the chamber. A blower is supported on the cover for circulating air from the chamber, which enters through air inlet openings, into the duct. A heating element is provided within the duct for heating the air. The air outlets are spaced substantially along the entire length of the duct and upper chamber for downwardly distributing air heated by the elements from the duct into the chamber and thus, above and over the individual's body lying atop the bed with a generally uniform air flow rate along the length of the body.
