ABSTRACT:
A bathtub assembly having contoured walls and fixtures constructed to fit within or about the walls is provided. The assembly includes a bathtub having at least one wall defining a curved protrusion and a curved recess. A filler spout having a generally shell-shaped configuration is adapted to fit within or above certain of the curved wall portions. One or more grab bars are also designed to fit within the bathtub. The filler spouts and grab bars all present curved interior surfaces which, as strategically mounted within the bathtub, minimize inadvertent contact by a person within or entering the bathtub. A headrest is also provided for attachment to a curved wall of the bathtub. The headrest includes a curved front portion which is secured by suction cups to a wall of the bathtub and an integral rear portion which extends over a deck of the bathtub. A grouping of bathtubs, each having walls of similar or identical curvature are provided so that the same fixtures and accessories can be used in the same manner in more than one bathtub model.
