ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is an appliance for transporting an invalid or handicapped patient to and from a bathtub and for supporting the patient while in a tub. An elongated generally rectangular frame is provided with a web having a pocket which forms a seat for the patient, with the pocket surrounded by a U-shaped fulcrum bar which protects the patient's hips and buttocks. The fulcrum bar enables loading of the appliance into the tub without the attendant handling the entire load. The appliance can also be used as a comfortable, stable all purpose seat for a handicapped patient.
