Abstract: A seat massager for massaging a person's back has, according to the present invention, a pair of inflatable, massage bladders configured so as to be received in close proximity to a person's back, each of said bladders having a front surface, with a portion of said front surfaces being overlayed so as to provide a rolling massage sensation when the bladders are inflated and deflated, a means for supplying fluid to the bladders, a fluidic having an inlet and two exhaust ports, a conduit that connects each of the fluidic exhaust ports to one of the pair of bladders, wherein the fluidic is configured so as to yield alternating flow from the exhaust ports that cyclically inflates and deflates each of the bladders so as to provide a massaging sensation to the back. This massager may further comprise: an inflatable support bladder positioned beneath a portion of the overlayed rear surfaces of the massage bladders, a means for supplying fluid to this support bladder so as to position the massage bladders in proximity to a person's back, and a carrier plate on which the fluid supply means are mounted, this plate being configured so as to aid in attaching the seat massager to the frame of a seat into which the seat massager is to be installed.

Abstract: A nozzle assembly for connecting to the outlet of a fluid flow source and providing a specified fluid flow spray includes: (a) a connector having a flow passage which extends between its ends, with the connector's upstream end being configured so as to mate with the fluid flow source's outlet, and with this connector passage at a point between its ends having a connector orifice, (b) a nozzle in the form of a fluidic insert configured so as to generate a specified fluid flow spray, (c) a housing having a fluid flow passage which extends between its ends and a rib which extends outwardly from the housing's exterior surface, with the portion of the housing's passage proximate its downstream end being configured so as to allow for the insertion and housing of the fluidic insert, and with the housing's upstream end being configured so as to be rotatably mounted in the connector fluid flow passage's downstream end, and (d) a retention cap having an opening extending between its ends that is configured to allow the housing downstream end to project through the opening, with the cap's upstream end being configured to mate with the housing's rib and the connector downstream end so as to hold the housing and connector in a proximal relationship which aids in preventing fluid flow leakage at their junction.
