ABSTRACT:
A wall supported grab bar structure provides two similar spacedly opposed L-shaped brackets interconnected by a fixed bar extending therebetween and carrying a U-shaped foldable bar to pivot relative thereto. Each bracket carries screw fasteners for mounting the brackets on structural elements of a supporting wall. The foldable bar pivots from a relaxed position parallel to a wall supporting a use to the brackets position perpendicular to the supporting wall. Spring leaf fasteners carried in the outer end portion of each leg of the foldable bar each provide a release pin and a spacedly distant fastener pin to releaseably interfit in a hole defined in the adjacent L-shaped bracket to releasably maintain the foldable bar in an extended operative position. Each fastener pin is releaseable responsive to motion of the spacedly distant release pins and both release pins must be simultaneously operated to release the foldable bar from a use portion.
