ABSTRACT:
A splash guard for installation about a pair of substantially horizontally extending rails of a transfer bench for cooperating with a shower curtain to prevent water from splashing out of a shower stall or bath tub while the transfer bench is positioned to extend into and out of the stall or tub for supporting an invalid or disabled person. The splash guard includes at least one substantially flat member that is slotted to define one or more rail-receiving passages that permit the splash guard to be installed on and removed from the horizontally extending rails of the transfer bench. In preferred practice, the splash guard is defined by at least two substantially flat members that, when installed on the rails of a transfer bench, extend substantially vertically, side-by-side, with most of the open-slot area of one of the flat members being closed by non-slotted portions of one or more of the other flat members to prevent water from being splashed through the rail-receiving passages. Additional embodiments are disclosed.
