ABSTRACT:
A portable bathing device comprises a body compartment having four sides and a bottom and having an open top. The body compartment includes a built-in seat, and has an L-shaped door in one side adjacent the seat with the wider port of the door at the top so that when the door is open, the L-shaped opening conforms substantially to the contour of the seat to permit easy, convenient, and safe access to the body compartment for an incapacitated person. The door is removably hinged to the body compartment, and sealing means are provided between the door edges and the body compartment to form a seal when the door is closed tightly in place. A supply water inlet is located in the wall of the body compartment below the seat with this water inlet communicating with flexible hose means attachable to a source of water supply. A shower hose with spray head at the end is connected to the hose means. A drain opening is located in the bottom of the body compartment and communicates with flexible hose means which is positionable in a suitable drain. A pump is positioned in the drain conduit, and attached to the pump is a conduit communicating with a recycle water inlet in the wall of the body below the seat. A valve is located in the drain conduit beyond the pump, so that recycling of water into the body compartment may be provided for a whirlpool effect by closing this valve and activating the pump to recycle water through the drain, pump, and back into the body compartment through the recycle water inlet which is slightly offset in the body compartment. The control valves are positioned in the space at the rear of the body compartment and below the seat so that these controls would not be accessible to an infirm person seated in the bathing device, but would require the attention of an attendant.
