ABSTRACT:
A foldable bathtub seat that includes a plurality of elongated parallel generally rectangular slats interconnected by hinges such that the slats are foldable to a configuration in which the slats are in stacked facing engagement parallel to each other and unfoldable to a configuration in which the slats are in a planar array. A rider at one end of each of the slats cooperates with a track affixed to a wall adjacent to the bathtub rim such that the slats are foldably and unfoldably supported by the bathtub rim while extending across the rim. In the unfolded configuration, the coplanar slats form a transfer seat supported along one end by the track affixed to the wall, and along the other end by the wall-remote edge of the bathtub rim. In the folded configuration, the seat may be readily removed for full access to the tub.
