Abstract

An apparatus for providing mist to a user, where the apparatus has multiple misting nozzles grouped into zones of one or more misting nozzles. The misting nozzles are supplied water from a supply line, and valves controlling the flow of water through the supply line and to the misting nozzles of each zone.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
I claim: 
     
         1 . An apparatus for providing mist to a user comprising:
 a chair with one or more frames and a backing material;   multiple misting nozzles grouped into a plurality of zones, each zone comprising at least one misting nozzle;   a supply line to supply water to misting nozzles in a zone and comprising a water port to receive water; and   multiple valves, each valve regulating the flow of water to misting nozzles in a zone.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , where the supply line is embedded within the frames. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , where the supply line is attached within a pocket of the backing material. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , where the pocket is formed by wrapping the backing material around the frame. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , where the misting nozzles in each zone are oriented to spray mist over an area substantially independent from areas sprayed by misting nozzles in other zones. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , where each zone consists of one misting nozzle. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein the valve is integrated within the misting nozzle. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1  where each zone comprises at least two misting nozzles. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , where the misting nozzles pass through the backing material, such that the head of the misting nozzle is on the top of the backing material and the misting nozzle connects to the supply line beneath the backing material. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 9  further comprising multiple grommets, each grommet defining an aperture in which a misting nozzle is secured. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 1  where the misting nozzles are attached to the backing material.
