ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for assisting a handicapped or physically impaired person into and out of a bathing receptacle contains a stanchion mounted independently of the receptacle, a seat which is pivotably attached to the stanchion and a leg support. The stanchion contains a hydraulic cylinder for raising and lowering the seat. The leg support can also be elevated or retracted. The entire apparatus is foldable and can thus be stored out of the way when not in use.
