ABSTRACT:
A three point clamping means is employed to secure one end of a shower bench to the edge of a bathtub. The bench includes two vertical feet which sit inside the bathtub, a pair of rails connected to said vertical feet and a clamping section. A chair unit is attachable to the rails and can be conveniently locked in position with respect thereto. A pair of C-shaped legs extend beyond the bathtub and make contact with the outside edge of said bathtub at two points. One point clamping contact is made on the inside of the bathtub by a single depending foot which includes a resilient pad mounted thereon. The depending foot is carried on a cross-brace slidably supported by said two rails and driven by a threaded crank mechanism. Rotation of the crank squeezes the bathtub edge at three points, namely, by the movable depending foot on the inside and by the two stationary C-shaped leg means on the outside. The improved clamping means is very easy to use and extremely secure compared to prior art clamping devices.
