Hydrotherapy installation

Details

Inventors: Dotson, Troy R.;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Artis; Henry K.
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Lindsley; Warren F. B.

A novel blower assembly for coaxial mounting with a conventinal swimming pool filter pump and a common drive motor, the blower being a required element of a hydrotherapy installation incorporated as a feature of the pool.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A hydrotherapy installation for pools comprising in combination: a rotary driven shaft, a pump assembly connected to said shaft for actuation thereof for pumping water to and from a pool, a blower assembly connected to said shaft for actuation thereof, means for transmitting air under pressure from said blower assembly to a pool, an electric motor for rotating said shaft, a cowling mounted around at least a part of said blower assembly for directing air into said blower assembly, and means for preheating the air received by said cowling.
2.
The hydrotherapy installation set forth in claim 1 wherein: said pump assembly and said blower assembly are coaxially aligned on said shaft.
3.
The hydrotherapy installation set forth in claim 1 wherein: said means for preheating the air received by said cowling comprises a solar heating means.
4.
The hydrotherapy installation set forth in claim 1 in further combination with: means for mixing the heated air from said blower assembly with water being pumped to a pool for heating the water.
5.
The hydrotherapy installation set forth in claim 3 wherein: said solar heating means is a solar energy absorbing means, and said blower assembly draws air from the atmosphere and around at least a part of said solar energy absorbing means.

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The population shift of recent years toward the hot and arid regions of the southwest has produced a growing interest in swimming pools and a rapid expansion of the swimming pool industry.
In this part of the country where it is too hot during a greater part of the year for most active sports, the family or neighborhood swimming pool offers a welcome relief from the oppressive summer heat as well as a means for the practice of one of the best known forms of health and body building exercise.
Moreover, in this land of retirement communities, swimming and related forms of hydrotherapy are becoming increasingly popular as an effective form of treatment for arthritus and other ailments common among the aged
