ABSTRACT:
Gripping means to provide hand support for a person stepping over a wall, such as the side wall of a bathtub, comprising a rigid corner plate fitting over and extending down the outer edge of the wall, to the top of which plate is secured a hollow member closed at its front end and extending transversely across the wall rim to support handle means extending upwardly from the hollow member. A slidable member is provided within the hollow member, said slidable member having axially extending female threading to receive a threaded element. Such an element is provided to enter through an orifice in the closed front end of the hollow member, and is capped at its outer end with a torquing knob. The distal end of the slidable member carries a downwardly projecting clamping member having pivotable plate means in facing engagement with the inside of the wall to enable the wall to be clamped between such plate means and the rigid plate, thereby to provide firm support for the upwardly extending handle means.
