Abstract (en)
A bubble massage bathtub, and a drain control especially well suited for use therewith are disclosed. In one embodiment, there are two cup-shaped plastic shells. Air channels are mounted between them, and apertures are provided through the top shell that communicate with the air channels. A hardened foam material is disposed between the second shells to support the channels and bind the shells together. Special ribs and inlet attachments are also provided. A poppet valve is provided for the drain opening with a bendable cable that controls its movement. A guide extends around the ends of the cable adjacent to the poppet and a remote control unit is connected to the other end of the cable. It is capable of causing the cable to both pull the poppet down and push the poppet up in response to rotation of a knob.
