ABSTRACT:
A user assist stand for an above-floor level spa has an elongated main tubular member secured upright on a base plate fastened to the floor and an auxiliary extension member slidably interfitting in telescoping relation within an open top end of the main member such that an upper portion of the auxiliary member extends upwardly from main member. A hand grip is mounted to the upper portion of the auxiliary member. A release lock mechanism in the form of a shaft having a pull ring is inserted through aligned holes in the main and auxiliary members for securing the auxiliary member to the main tubular member to position the upper portion of the auxiliary member and the hand grip thereon at a desired elevation above the main member and relative to an upper edge of a spa. The shaft of the release lock mechanism also is removable from the main and auxiliary members for releasing the auxiliary member to permit slidably moving the auxiliary member to vertically adjust of the position of the hand grip relative to the main member and spa. A swivel lock mechanism mounts the hand grip to the upper portion of the auxiliary member and is operable to permit pivotal movement of the hand grip between an extended position in which it overlies the upper edge of the spa sidewall and a retracted position in which it is offset outside of a vertical plane of the sidewall of the spa.
