Spa device with leg rests and calf supports

Abstract

A spa device including a basin with a pair of leg rests hingedly coupled to the basin. Each leg rest pivots from a first unengaged position to a second engaged position. In the engaged position, a client receiving a spa treatment may rest his/her legs on the leg rests. Each leg rest may be releasably locked into the engaged position.

1 . A spa device comprising:
 a basin; and   a pair of leg rests, each of said leg rests having an attachment end and a free end, the attachment end of each of the leg rests being hingedly coupled to the basin.   
   
   
       2 . The spa device of  claim 1  wherein each of the leg rests are pivotable between a first position and a second position. 
   
   
       3 . The spa device of  claim 2  wherein said second position is a client use position. 
   
   
       4 . The spa device of  claim 3  wherein each leg rest includes a support portion adjacent the attachment end and a calf rest portion adjacent the free end. 
   
   
       5 . The spa device of  claim 3  wherein said second position is generally 90 degrees from the first position. 
   
   
       6 . The spa device of  claim 3  further comprising:
 a pair of pivot devices, each of said pivot devices comprising a pivot portion and a support portion;   wherein the support portion of each pivot device is coupled to the basin and the pivot portion of each pivot device is coupled to the attachment end of one of the pair of leg rests.   
   
   
       7 . The spa of  claim 6  wherein each of said leg rest attachment ends includes an engagement portion, said engagement portion sized and configured for engagement with the pivot portion of the pivot device. 
   
   
       8 . The spa device of  claim 7  further comprising means for releasably locking each of said leg rests in the client use position. 
   
   
       9 . The spa device of  claim 8  further comprising means for limiting the rotation of each of the leg rests. 
   
   
       10 . The spa device of  claim 9  wherein said means for limiting the rotation of each of the leg rests comprises a rotation guide slot formed in the pivot portion of the pivot device. 
   
   
       11 . The spa device of  claim 10  further comprising a rotation guide member coupled to the engagement portion of each of the leg rests, the rotation guide member being sized and configured for engaging the rotation guide slot formed in the pivot portion of the pivot device. 
   
   
       12 . The spa device of  claim 11  wherein
 said rotation guide member is adjacent a first end of the rotation guide slot when the leg rest is in the first position; and   said rotation guide member is adjacent a second end of the rotation guide slot when the leg rest is in the second position.   
   
   
       13 . The spa device of  claim 11  wherein said means for releasably locking each of the leg rests in the second position comprises a locking portion formed at the second end of the rotation guide slot. 
   
   
       14 . A spa device comprising:
 a basin; and   at least one leg rests, said at least one leg rest having an attachment end and a free end, said attachment end of the at least one leg rest being hingedly coupled to the basin.   
   
   
       15 . The spa device of  claim 14  wherein said at least one leg rest is pivotable between a first position and a second position. 
   
   
       16 . The spa device of  claim 14  wherein said at least one leg rest includes a support portion adjacent the attachment end and a calf rest portion adjacent the free end. 
   
   
       17 . The spa device of  claim 15  wherein said second position is generally 90 degrees from the first position. 
   
   
       18 . The spa device of  claim 14  further comprising:
 at least one pivot device, said at least one pivot device comprising a pivot portion and a support portion;   wherein the support portion of the at least one pivot device is coupled to the basin and the pivot portion of the at least one pivot device is coupled to the attachment end of the at least one leg rest.   
   
   
       19 . The spa of  claim 18  wherein each of said leg rest attachment ends includes an engagement portion, said engagement portion sized and configured for engagement with the pivot portion of the pivot device. 
   
   
       20 . The spa device of  claim 15  further comprising means for releasably locking said at least one leg rest in the client use position. 
   
   
       21 . The spa device of  claim 15  further comprising means for limiting the rotation of said at least one leg rest.
