    Abstract: A unit for use in a tub or spa to provide a dry hydro-massage of the neck and shoulders. The unit mounts to the tub edge and includes a diaphragm which sealingly covers a discharge jet such that the fluid will flex the diaphragm into massaging relationship with the user's body. The water is exhausted into the tub through a secondary port below the water line such that dry hydro-therapy is provided by the unit. The unit is mounted to the side wall of the tub spa. The inflation of the diaphragm is controlled by pressure regulating ports formed within the housing to control the exhaust of fluid from the jet chamber. In one embodiment, the ports are variable to vary the inflation pressure of the diaphragm. With the unit mounted to the tub the user may remain seated within the spa while the unit provides a dry hydro-massage of the neck and upper back normally positioned above the water line. The diaphragm unit is adapted to be utilized with various jet nozzles.

    Abstract: A single track vehicle having a foot pedal lever activated side wheel extension/retraction mechanism is fitted with a hydraulic system for responding to excessive feedback force imparted to the driver's leg via the foot pedal. The system includes a normally open needle valve installed mechanically in line with a linear actuator to sense the magnitude of the feedback force to the driver's feet. If the feedback force exceeds the amount the driver can counter comfortably, the needle valve is closed as a result of the opposing force vectors between the loaded side wheel and the driver's feet. The system further includes an inertially activated hydraulic valve installed on the vehicle frame. In the event of a head-on crash, the valve closes, freezing a gas strut and thereby holding the foot pedal lever in the aft position, preventing injury to the driver.

    Abstract: A vehicle having a chassis frame, a single front and a single rear wheel aligned on the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, and retractible outrigger wheels on opposite sides of the frame. A driver compartment supported by the frame and a driver foot pedal inside the compartment. Connection apparatus including ratchet and pawl instrumentalities connecting the foot pedal to the outrigger wheels to move them up and down in two full depressions of the foot pedal. The first depression lowers the outrigger wheels to a first position about half way to full lowering of the outrigger wheels which is suitable for low speed operation. The second depressions lowers the outrigger wheels to a second fully lowered position which is suitable for stopping. The force of the feet required to fully lower the outrigger wheels in two strokes when the vehicle is leaned over with the weight applied to one of the outrigger wheels being generally half of the force required to fully lower the outrigger wheels in one stroke. A hand grip on each side of the driver compartment, a front fork pivotally supporting the front wheel, and motion transfer apparatus from each hand grip extending on each side of the driver compartment and connecting to the front fork, whereby steering is accomplished by the driver pushing and pulling on the hand grips. A swing arm pivotally mounting bearings for the rear wheel with the pivotal axis of the swing arm located rearwardly of the rear wheel. The outrigger wheels have axles located in generally the same vertical plane lateral of the vehicle as the rear wheels axles when the outrigger wheels are in down position. The frame includes side trusses disposed generally in horizontal planes and located on each side of the driver compartment at about elbow height and diagonal frame members at front and back of the driver compartment tying together the side trusses thereby forming a complete trusswork about the compartment to protect the driver.

The unit includes a diaphragm which sealingly covers a discharge jet such that the fluid will flex the diaphragm into massaging relationship with the user's body. The water is exhausted into the spa through a secondary port below the water line such that dry hydro-therapy is provided by the unit. The unit is mounted within the side wall of the tub spa and can be telescopingly adjusted between a position just below the water line and a position above the water line. With the unit in the upper position the user may remain seated within the spa while the unit provides a dry hydro-massage of the neck and upper back normally positioned above the water line. Lower positions provide massage of lower body portions and facilitate storage and covering of the spa. The diaphragm unit is adapted to be utilized with various jet nozzles.
