ABSTRACT:
A bath lift, for raising and lowering an invalid or disabled user out of and into a bath tub, comprises a seat member which is suspended at each side on flexible supporting tapes. The seat member is supported by the tapes through hinged side plates which extend downwardly from the seat member when the latter is in a raised position but which are collapsed below the seat member when the latter is in the fully-lowered position. Thus the seat member when fully lowered is close to the bottom of the bath tub whereas, when fully raised, it is suspended on the tapes above the level of the rim of the bath tub.
