ABSTRACT:
Bathing equipment includes a tub having a gate for admitting a handicapped bather who is unable to step over a rim of a tub in a normal manner. The tub is supported on a base which places the bottom of the tub near the height of a seat on a wheelchair. The tub is equipped with a bath chair for transferring a seated bather from the gate end of the tub to the opposite end. Guides in the tub support the bath chair during back and forth travel between opposite ends of the tub.
