Abstract

A clip and system for providing light to a spa, having a clip for holding a light emitting device and a waterjet housing structure manufactured at least in part from a clear material and having a connector allowing the attachment of the clip to the housing structure, the clip having a support structure for containing and/or supporting the light emitting device and a clip connector for attaching the clip to the housing.

Claims (21)

1 . A clip for holding a light emitting device, which clip can be attached to a waterjet housing structure, the clip comprising:

a) a support structure for containing and/or supporting the light emitting device; and

b) a clip connector for attaching the clip to the housing.

2 . The clip as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the support structure for containing and/or supporting the light emitting device is structured to cooperate with a housing connector on the housing.

3 . The clip as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the support is in a roughly parallel configuration relative to the clip connector.

4 . The clip as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the support is a cup-like structure having a closed bottom and an open top.

5 . The clip as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the support has an open bottom and an open top.

6 . The clip as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the support has a top and a bottom, the top being configured to rest against the housing such that light from a light emitting device is provided to the housing.

7 . The clip as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the clip connector is structured to cooperate with a T-shaped housing connector on the housing.

8 . The clip as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the clip connector comprises an arch having a base attached to the support and an arm extending away from the base, wherein the arm can flex towards and away from the base such that the clip connector can snap onto the housing connector.

9 . The clip as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the clip connector further comprises an angled mouth whereby when the angled mouth is pressed against the housing connector, the arm flexes away from the base.

10 . A system for providing light to a spa, comprising:

a) a clip for holding a light emitting device; and

b) a waterjet housing structure manufactured at least in part from a clear material and comprising a connector allowing the attachment of the clip to the housing structure,

wherein the clip comprises:

i) a support structure for containing and/or supporting the light emitting device; and

ii) a clip connector for attaching the clip to the housing.

11 . The system as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the housing connection has a T-shaped or +-shaped structure and the clip connector is structured to cooperate with the T-shaped or +-shaped housing connector on the housing.

12 . The system as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the clip connector comprises an arch having a base attached to the support and an arm extending away from the base, wherein the arm can flex towards and away from the base such that the clip connector can snap onto the housing connector.

13 . The system as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the clip connector further comprises an angled mouth whereby when the angled mouth is pressed against the housing connector, the arm flexes away from the base.

14 . The system as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the housing connection comprises a flat end preventing the clip from sliding onto or off of the housing connection from an end thereof.
