ABSTRACT:
A cushioned or padded kneeling appliance particularly adapted for use in association with a bathtub when it is desired to reach into the interior area of the bathtub to perform some utilitarian function, such as bathing an infant, cleaning the tub, or the like. The device includes a rigid frame having a generally horizontally disposed lower cushion or pad oriented outwardly of and alongside the lower outer surface of a bathtub wall and an upper cushion or pad overlying the top edge portion of the bathtub wall to enabling a person using the device to kneel on the lower pad and lean on the upper pad thereby reducing discomfort which would occur if a person kneeled on the tile floor of the bathroom or the like and leaned against the top edge portion of a bathtub wall. The pads or cushions are removable for cleaning or replacement and the frame is of sectional construction to enable it to be disassembled for storage in a compact condition and capable of vertical adjustment for use with bathtub walls having different heights.
