ABSTRACT:
A bath comprises a bath tub and apparatus for assisting persons into and out of the bath tub. The apparatus comprises a lifting column in the form of a telescopic mast, a seat supported by the mast, a first actuator provided for the most part within the mast, for raising and lowering the seat relative to the bath tub, and a second actuator for angularly displacing the mast. The apparatus also comprises a control device for operating the first and second actuators so as to raise the seat from a lowered to an elevated position and to then swivel the seat to a position in which it extends over a rim of the bath tub, and so as to swivel the seat in an opposite direction and to then lower the seat into the bath tub.
