ABSTRACT:
A bathtub chair, for mounting in a bathtub having a bathtub bottom and bathtub sides extending upward from the bathtub bottom, comprising a seat cushion and a lowering mechanism. The lowering mechanism comprises a plurality of telescopic legs which extend downward from a hollow seat frame to the bathtub bottom. The chair is lowerable so that the seat rests flush against the bathtub bottom. The seat comprises a mid section attached above the plurality of telescopic legs, and upper and lower sections. The upper and lower sections are coupled to the mid section so that they normally extend perpendicular to the mid section when the chair is raised, but then flex to conform to the bathtub when the mid section is lowered against the bathtub bottom.
