Clip for providing light to a spa feature
View Patent ↗A clip and system for providing light to a spa feature, having a clip for holding a light emitting device and a spa feature having a housing connector, the spa feature and the housing connector being manufactured at least in part from a clear material and having a connector allowing the attachment of the clip to the spa feature, 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 spa feature.
1. A clip system for a waterjet housing structure, the clip system comprising:
a substantially T-shaped housing connector portion corresponding to the waterjet housing structure;
a light emitting device; and
a clip, the clip configured to detachably engage to the waterjet housing structure via the T-shaped housing connector portion, the clip also configured to hold the light emitting device, the clip comprising:
a) a clip connector portion comprising a C-shaped structure defining a slot shaped to complement the substantially T-shaped housing connector portion, the clip connector portion configured to receive the substantially T-shaped housing connector portion within the slot, and
b) a support structure portion having a first end, a second end, and a hollow interior defined therebetween, the first end proximate to the clip connector portion, the second end extending away from the clip connector portion such that the support structure portion is positioned at an acute angle relative to the clip connector portion, the second end configured to receive the light emitting device;
wherein the clip connector portion detachably engages the clip to the waterjet housing structure such that the support structure portion extends away from, and is positioned at the acute angle relative to, the waterjet housing structure;
wherein the light emitting device, is inserted within the hollow interior of the clip, to allow the light emitting device to emit the light to a spa feature.
2. The clip as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first end and the second end of the support structure portion each, respectively, define an opening, the opening at the second end configured to access the hollow interior.
3. The clip as claimed in claim 2 , wherein: the opening at the first end of the support structure portion is also configured to access the hollow interior.
4. The clip as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:
the second end of the support structured portion defines an opening configured to access the hollow interior.
5. The clip as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the support structure portion is tubular in shape between the first end and the second end.
6. The clip as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:
the first end and the second end of the support structure portion each, respectively, defines an opening, the opening at the first end configured to access the hollow interior, the opening at the second end configured to access the hollow interior and configured to access the slot;
the hollow interior is also configured to receive the light emitting device that extends through the opening at the second end, through the hollow interior, and through the opening at the first end; and
the light emitting device extends out through the opening at the first end, into the slot.
