Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
92 words
A hydromassage device comprising a body member having an upper face, a lower face and a centrally located inlet on its lower face, means for connecting the body member by way of its inlet to a source of water under pressure, such means allowing free rotation of the body member, at least one jet nozzle on the upper face of the body member, said jet nozzle being substantially in or below the plane of said upper face and means for rotating the body member while water is issuing from the jet nozzle.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
92 words
A hydromassage device comprising a body member having an upper face, a lower face and a centrally located inlet on its lower face, means for connecting the body member by way of its inlet to a source of water under pressure, such means allowing free rotation of the body member, at least one jet nozzle on the upper face of the body member, said jet nozzle being substantially in or below the plane of said upper face and means for rotating the body member while water is issuing from the jet nozzle.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
The hydromassage device of claim 1 wherein said rotating means is hydraulic and is operated by the issuing stream or streams of water issuing from the jet nozzle or nozzles.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
120 words
A hydromassage device comprising a body member having an upper face, a lower face and a centrally located inlet oN its lower face, means connecting the body member via its inlet on its lower face, means connecting the body member via its inlet to a source of water under pressure, such means allowing free rotation of the body member, and at least two jet orifices on the upper face of said body member adapted to direct issuing streams of water so as to create a torque and rotate the body member and apply rotating streams of water to the skin of a person using the device, each said jet orifice being located substantially in the plane of said upper face.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
120 words
A hydromassage device comprising a body member having an upper face, a lower face and a centrally located inlet oN its lower face, means connecting the body member via its inlet on its lower face, means connecting the body member via its inlet to a source of water under pressure, such means allowing free rotation of the body member, and at least two jet orifices on the upper face of said body member adapted to direct issuing streams of water so as to create a torque and rotate the body member and apply rotating streams of water to the skin of a person using the device, each said jet orifice being located substantially in the plane of said upper face.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
75 words
A hydromassage device comprising a body having a central axis, an upper face and a water inlet and means supporting the body for rotation about said central axis, means for so rotating the body, means for applying water to said inlet, and at least one outlet in the form of a jet nozzle, such outlet being in fluid communication with said inlet and being substantially flush with or below the level of said upper face.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
75 words
A hydromassage device comprising a body having a central axis, an upper face and a water inlet and means supporting the body for rotation about said central axis, means for so rotating the body, means for applying water to said inlet, and at least one outlet in the form of a jet nozzle, such outlet being in fluid communication with said inlet and being substantially flush with or below the level of said upper face.
