Abstract

The device comprises a bathtub (2), injection orifices (5) associated with supply devices (12, 20) for producing hydrodynamic jets directed interiorly of the bathtub (2), and control units (22, 25, 27) for orienting in a synchronized manner the hydrodynamic jets issuing from the injection orifices (5) disposed on side surfaces (3, 4) of the bathtub (2). The control units are arranged such that, when they downwardly orient a hydrodynamic jet issuing from an injection orifice disposed on one side surface of the bathtub, they simultaneously upwardly orient a hydrodynamic jet issuing from an injection orifice disposed on the opposite side surface of the bathtub, and vice versa.
