ABSTRACT:
A shower apparatus designed specifically to accommodate wheelchair-bound persons and invalids, which shower apparatus is characterized by a rotatable seat support having one end attached to a telescoping column and the opposite end carrying an upright seat pedestal which receives a rotatable seat for supporting the occupant. The telescoping column is located outside of a shower enclosure and is designed to facilitate selective pivoting of the seat pedestal and seat into and from the shower enclosure. A latching device may be provided outside of the shower enclosure for locating and securing a wheelchair adjacent to the shower enclosure and the wheelchair may be specially designed to receive the rotatable seat and facilitate transfer of a person from the wheelchair to the seat, into the shower, and back to the wheelchair.
