Abstract
A spray chamber has a spray system and a ventilation system. The spray system includes a compressor and stationary spray jets that are positioned 360° about a user, from head to toe. The spray system operates in a spray mode and a drying mode. In the spray mode, the composition is sprayed onto the user through the spray jets in the form of a mist. In the drying mode, air is blown through the jets to dry the user. The spray chamber also has a shower spray. In the rinse mode, chlorinated water is emitted from the shower spray to disinfect the spray chamber. The ventilation system includes exhaust fans that operate in the drying mode to draw air and remnant spray mist into a ventilation housing. The spray is filtered to create droplets that are siphoned by a sump pump as waste to a sewer system.
Claims31
A spray chamber for applying a composition to a user, the spray chamber comprising an enclosure having at least one wall surrounding the user, said at least one wall enclosing a spray area for receiving the user, stationary nozzles positioned about the spray area and stationary with respect to the spray area, and a compressor for forcing the composition through said stationary nozzles and directly into the spray area to provide an overlapping composition spray pattern in the spray area which completely coats the user with the composition.
A method for coating a user's body with a composition in a chamber, the method comprising:
- defining a spray area in the chamber for receiving the user;
- positioning stationary spray nozzles about the spray area;
- and,
- emitting the composition through the stationary spray nozzles and directly into the spray area to provide an overlapping composition spray pattern in the spray area to completely coat the user's body with the composition, wherein the stationary spray nozzles remain stationary with respect to the spray area as the composition is emitted through the stationary spray nozzles.
A spray chamber for applying a composition to a user, the spray chamber comprising:
- at least one wall defining a spray area for receiving the user, the spray area having a front portion, a rear portion and two side portions;
- stationary nozzles positioned about the spray area, and
- a compressor for forcing the composition through said stationary nozzles and directly into the spray area to provide an overlapping composition spray pattern at the front portion, rear portion and two side portions of the spray area, wherein said stationary nozzles are stationary with respect to the spray area as the composition is forced through said stationary nozzles.
