Abstract

A representative spa apparatus includes a basin, a basin structure that houses the basin, and a footrest-hose combination device that is mounted on the basin structure in front of the spa apparatus. The footrest-hose combination device adjusts the extension of a footrest structure and a hose fixture that are coupled to the footrest-hose combination device.

Claims

1. A spa apparatus comprising:

a basin;

a basin structure that houses the basin; and

a footrest-hose combination device that is mounted on the basin structure in front of the spa apparatus, wherein the footrest-hose combination device adjusts the extension of a footrest structure and a hose fixture that are coupled to the footrest-hose combination device.

2. The spa apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein the footrest-hose combination device includes a hollow post that houses a top post section and an elongated tube, both of which extend in and out of the hollow post.

3. The spa apparatus as defined in claim 2, wherein the hose fixture that is coupled to the elongated tube.

4. The spa apparatus as defined in claim 3, wherein the footrest-hose combination device includes a hose mounting structure that the hose fixture can be mounted thereon.

5. The spa apparatus as defined in claim 2, wherein the footrest structure is coupled to the top post section.

6. The spa apparatus as defined in claim 5, wherein the footrest-hose combination device includes a button that facilitates adjusting the extension of the top post section from the hollow post upon actuating the button.

7. The spa apparatus as defined in claim 5, wherein the footrest-hose combination device includes a footrest adjustable mechanism that can tilt the footrest structure towards or away from the basin.

8. The spa apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein the footrest-hose combination device includes a mounting structure that attaches the footrest-hose combination device to the basin structure.

9. A footrest-hose combination device comprising:

a hollow post that houses a top post section and an elongated tube that extends in and out of the hollow post;

a footrest structure that is coupled to the top post section; and

a hose fixture that is coupled to the elongated tube, wherein the footrest structure and the hose fixture can be adjusted to extend in and out of the hollow post.

10. The footrest-hose combination device as defined in claim 9, further comprising a hose mounting structure that the hose fixture can be mounted thereon.

11. The footrest-hose combination device as defined in claim 9, wherein the hollow post includes a button that facilitates adjusting the extension of the top post section from the hollow post upon actuating the button.

12. The footrest-hose combination device as defined in claim 9, further comprising a footrest adjustable mechanism that is coupled to and can tilt the footrest structure upward and downward.

13. The footrest-hose combination device as defined in claim 9, further comprising a mounting structure that attaches the hollow post to a basin structure.

14. A spa apparatus comprising:

a basin;

a basin structure that houses the basin; and

a footrest-hose combination device that is mounted on the basin structure in front of the spa apparatus, wherein the footrest-hose combination device includes a hollow post that houses a portion of a footrest structure and a hose fixture.

15. The spa apparatus as defined in claim 14, wherein the hollow post houses a top post section and an elongated tube that extends in and out of the hollow post.

16. The spa apparatus as defined in claim 15, wherein the hose fixture that is coupled to the elongated tube.

17. The spa apparatus as defined in claim 16, wherein the footrest-hose combination device includes a hose mounting structure that the hose fixture can be mounted thereon.

18. The spa apparatus as defined in claim 15, wherein the footrest structure is coupled to the top post section.

19. The spa apparatus as defined in claim 18, wherein the footrest-hose combination device includes a button that facilitates adjusting the extension of the top post section from the hollow post upon actuating the button.

20. The spa apparatus as defined in claim 18, wherein the footrest-hose combination device includes a footrest adjustable mechanism that can tilt the footrest structure towards or away from the basin.
