ABSTRACT:
A bath lift, for lifting a disabled person into and out of a bath, has a telescopic column for mounting on the floor alongside the bath. A lifting arm mounted on the top of the column projects therefrom and carries a support, such as a legless chair structure, for the person being bathed. An upper portion of the column is non-rotatable about the axis of the column, and the arm is mounted to swing about a vertical axis. Locking means are operative to lock the arm against swinging movement relative to said upper portion of the column in one or more angular positions, and the locking means can be released manually to free the arm for movement about said vertical axis.
