Abstract
A submerge massaging system controlled by a no-moving part backload responsive fluidic switch.
Claims6
A submerged massaging seat system in which a fluidic switch is used to drive at least a pair of receiver channels connected to alternately inflate and deflate alternate bladder cells of a massaging seat mounted in a wall of a water container, said fluidic switch is constituted by a power nozzle projecting a jet of fluid towards a splitter, said splitter defining a pair of receiver channels, a pair of attachment walls adjacent said power nozzle and a pair of vents, one for each of the output receiver channels of said fluidic switch, whereby switching of said jet of fluid back and forth between said receiver channels and the alternate inflation and deflation of said bladder cells is caused when the backload in each receiver channel overcomes the wall attachment at its associated attachment wall, respectively.
