On connait déjà des baignoires à injection d'air de balnéothérapie ou de thalassothérapie comportant une cuve dont le fond est pourvu de buses d'injection d'air. L'air réchauffé et ozonisé est injecté par une turbine. Le coffret contenant ces divers dispositifs, situé à l'extérieur du périmètre de sécurité de la baignoire, a des commandes électriques et électroniques recevant des impulsions pneumatiques à partir d'une poignée de commande mobile ou d'une plaquette de commande fixe..La poignée de commande mobile ou la plaquette de commande fixe sont situées à proximité de l'utilisateur afin que celui-ci puisse commander à distance, par exemple, l'injection d'air, le chauffage de l'air, l'ozone, la durée et la vitesse d'injection et l'arrêt. Cependant, il s'est avéré qu'il est gênant pour l'utilisateur de sortir de son bain et aller au coffret de commande pour régler notamment l'arrivée d'air et plus particulièrement la puissance d'injection de l'air, ou la marche, l'arrêt, et le chauffage de l'air injecté lorsque ces commandes se font à partir d'une plaquette fixe située à une certaine distance de la baignoire.There are already known baths with balneotherapy or thalassotherapy air injection comprising a tank whose bottom is provided with air injection nozzles. The heated and ozonized air is injected by a turbine. The box containing these various devices, located outside the safety perimeter of the bathtub, has electrical and electronic controls receiving pneumatic pulses from a mobile control handle or a fixed control plate. mobile control handle or the fixed control panel are located close to the user so that the user can remotely control, for example, air injection, air heating, ozone, duration and speed of injection and stopping. However, it has turned out that it is inconvenient for the user to get out of his bath and go to the control box in order to regulate in particular the air supply and more particularly the power of injection of the air, or on, off, and heating of the air injected when these commands are made from a fixed plate located at a certain distance from the bathtub.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients et se propose de créer une baignoire à injection d'air de balnéothérapie ou de thalassothérapie permettant d'augmenter très sensiblement le confort et l'utilisateur en assurant à ce dernier des possibilités de commande de diverses opérations sans quitter la baignoire, dont les dispositifs de réglage et de commande sont d'un montage et d'un accès faciles tout en étant d'une grande efficacité et sans aucun danger pour l'utilisateur et d'éviter tout risque de débordement.The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks and proposes to create a bathtub with air injection for balneotherapy or thalassotherapy making it possible to very significantly increase comfort and the user by providing the latter with control possibilities for various operations without leaving the bathtub, the adjustment and control devices of which are easy to assemble and access while being highly efficient and without any danger for the user and avoiding any risk of overflow .

A cet effet, l'invention concerne une baignoire à injection d'air selon la revendication principale.To this end, the invention relates to an air injection bathtub according to the main claim.

Ainsi, l'utilisateur peut commander à sa guise l'injection et le chauffage de l'air, le réglage de la puissance d'injection de l'air dans l'eau sans sortir de son bain, notamment par la disposition à portée de main de l'organe de réglage.Thus, the user can control as he likes the injection and heating of the air, the adjustment of the power of injection of the air into the water without leaving his bath, in particular by the arrangement within reach of hand of the adjuster.

Le silencieux d'échappement sur la tubulure de dérivation atténue de façon très efficace le bruit provoqué par le passage de l'air dans la tubulure de dérivation et le débordement.The exhaust silencer on the bypass manifold very effectively attenuates noise caused by the passage of air through the bypass manifold and overflow.

Grâce au dispositif d'évacuation et à son raccordement particulier, il est possible d'évacuer avec le moins d'inconvénients possible, l'air sous pression en surplus arrivant dans la tubulure de dérivation et de pouvoir exploiter avec bénéfice ce surplus d'air sous pression.Thanks to the evacuation device and its special connection, it is possible to evacuate with the least possible inconvenience, the excess pressurized air arriving in the bypass pipe and to be able to exploit this surplus air with profit. under pressure.

Le croisillon permet un réglage très fin de la puissance d'injection de l'air.The spider allows very fine adjustment of the air injection power.

La conception particulière de commande par impulsions d'air comprimé augmente la sécurité de l'utilisateur prenant son bain, aucune manipulation ou appareillage nécessitant de l'électricité n'étant disposé à proximité du bain.The special design of pulsed compressed air control increases the safety of the user taking his bath, no manipulation or equipment requiring electricity being placed near the bath.
