ABSTRACT:
The chair of a transfer bench includes hooks for selectively engaging and disengaging the seat from supporting tracks. Rollers attached to the chair allow the chair to move on the tracks. The bench portion comprises a pair of parallel tubular tracks supported by legs. A pair of safety hooks attached to the underside of the chair loosely engage the tracks and keep the chair from tipping. The legs are normally locked in the open position. For storage purposes it is possible to unlock the legs and fold them up against the track unit. A genital guard is provided on the underside of the seat to insure patient comfort and protection. The apparatus allows the user to transfer into and out of a bathtub or shower with a minimum of inconvenience and a maximum of security.
