ABSTRACT:
A bath lift device for lowering or raising a person in a bathtub includes a planar base for mounting on a bathtub bottom; a parallelogram-type chair structure for laying flat on the base structure or standing on the base in an erect position; an inflatable bag in the chair for raising the chair when filled with water; and slide controlled valves, which can be actuated by the feet of the user, controlling filling and emptying of the bag to raise or lower the chair. The chair includes sides and a back which can be locked together in an erect position, or folded onto the seat of the chair which in turn is folded onto the planar chair-supporting base in the non-use position of the device.
