Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a spa system and, more particularly, to a spa system that that includes a spa device that attaches to an armchair and a spa device mounted onto a table, both devices allow for a user to submerge their hands entirely within the water.


2. Description of the Related Art

Several designs for a spa device have been designed in the past. None of them, however, include a device for providing treatments comprising a receptacle which is removably attachable to a chair which has a motor for providing bubble treatments. The receptable includes a housing attachment having water jets to provide a spa treatment to a user. Further, the receptacle allows for a user to submerge their entire hand within water located in the receptacle. Additionally, the invention includes a spa device that is mounted onto a table to then aid in providing spa treatment for a user. Each device contains a compartment that is attachable to the side of the device which contains various utensils to aid a user in a manicure. The spa device for the table includes a removable tray that provides a comfortable platform for a user to rest their hands on when receiving a spa treatment. It is known that users that receive spa treatments often have the desire to submerge their hands entirely within water to aid in the spa treatment. Therefore, there is a need for a flexible spa system that allows a user receiving a spa treatment to entirely submerge their hands in water. The present invention provides a chair attachment and a tabletop device to provide a user the flexibility of having a spa treatment in their most comfortable position.


Applicant believes that a related reference corresponds to U.S. Pat. No. 3,678,943 issued for a portable hair washing coloring unit, that is attachable to a chair. Applicant believes that another related reference corresponds to U.S. Pat. No. 5,947,131 issued for a nail tip removal apparatus that includes a cup for holding nail tip removal solution. However, these references differ from the present invention because they fail to address the issue of having a spa system that provides treatment to a user's hands. Additionally, the references fail to provide the flexibility of being able to receive a spa treatment at a chair or a tabletop. The references further fail to teach of a spa device that allows a user to entirely submerge their hands in water when receiving a spa treatment. The present invention provides a spa treatment system that collectively addresses all these issues.


Other documents describing the closest subject matter provide for a number of more or less complicated features that fail to solve the problem in an efficient and economical way. None of these patents suggest the novel features of the present invention.
