ABSTRACT:
A bathtub for the elderly or physically infirm includes several important innovations, namely a narrow front wall at one end of the bathtub permitting easy access to the bathtub, a wide front platform at the other end of the bathtub, and a plurality of sockets in the top wall of the bathtub for mounting accessories on the bathtub. The accessories include a railing extending around the ends and rear of the bathtub, with a headrest at one end of the railing, an inverted U-tube for mounting proximate the center of the bathtub for use when entering or exiting the bathtub, a seat assembly which can be fixed in one position extending transversely of the bathtub or rotated outwardly to a non-use position, and a backrest for releasable mounting on the seat assembly, so that the seat assembly and the backrest can form a compact unit for storage under the platform.
