ABSTRACT:
A support is provided which is attachable to the side walls of the bathtub. An actuator is provided which includes an elongated tubular member and an inner member adapted to be moved to inner and outer positions relative to the tubular member. Structure is provided for coupling the actuator to the support. A D.C. powered reversible, electric motor is provided for moving the inner member of the actuator to its inner and outer position. A chair is coupled to the outer end of the inner member and a coupling apparatus is provided for pivotally and slidably coupling the chair to the support for allowing the chair to be moved to an upper and lower positions above the bottom of the bathtub and sideways when in the upper position. In addition, a control system is located within the reach of a person sitting in the chair while the chair is in its upper and lower positions above the bottom of the tub to allow the person to control the electric motor to move the inner member of the actuator to its inner and outer positions and hence the chair to its upper and lower positions.
