ABSTRACT:
A bathtub insert for handicapped persons comprises a bottom frame, a seat plate, two pairs of scissor arms therebetween and a hose fillable with water in order to elevate the seat plate. A flexible cover sheet closes the front end of the bathtub insert between the seat plate and the bottom frame. One end of the cover sheet is fastened at a winding tube and a torsional spring therein holds the cover sheet tightly tensioned even in the lowermost position of the seat plate. The cover sheet at the same time avoids that handicapped persons can be injured by jamming their arms and legs and holds the bathtub insert in a flat-package transportable position.
