Abstract
A hydromassage carpet is formed by an envelope of two sheets of suitable soft and flexible material, which are joined together with a peripheral weld and further welds effected on the inner part thereof defining two distinct ducts. These ducts include a first sealed duct to be filled with a suitable fluid so as to form a practical mattress, and a second duct connected through a feeding pipe to a compressed air generator and provided at its upper part with holes. The compressed air generates in the bath the desired hydromassage effect by passing through the holes. Inwardly of the peripheral weld are provided several circumferential toes at whose centers relevant central welds extend over an amount sufficient to form a plurality of toroidal elements. The lower parts of these elements, when resting on the bottom of the tub, define cavities similar to those of suction cups and therefore, carry out the same function thereof. Adjacent circumferential toes terminate at certain portions which are directly connected together by further suitable toes, so as to form the first duct at the inside therefore and the second duct to the outside thereof.
