ABSTRACT:

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a hip bath including a rear space with a seat as well as a front space with a door opening in a front side thereof, said door opening being closable by a door, wherein the seat has a seat surface with a notch, which is closed at the rear, extends rearwardly in the seat surface and divides said seat surface in two portions.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
At hip baths of the abovementioned type, the rear and front spaces normally have substantially the same width. Hereby, a large front space is provided, which because of its size must be filled with large amounts of water in order to reach the desired water level therein.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The object of the present invention is to eliminate this draw back without substantially affecting the access to the seat through the front space and the design of the hip bath. This is arrived at according to the invention by providing the hip bath with the characterizing features of primarily subsequent claim 1.
Due to the narrower design or shaping of the front space than the rear space and due to the equally wide or substantially equally wide design of the front space, it is achieved that the front space is smaller and thus, may be filled with less water in order to reach a desired water level than if the front space has the same width as the rear space. Additionally, neither the access to the seat through the front space nor the design or shaping of the hip bath need to be negatively affected.
