Abstract: A tub member is pivotable about a horizontal axis between an initial and an operative position, and is adapted to be filled with a bathing liquid, when in the operative position, and a chair member includes seat and backrest portions. At least one of the members may be moved relative to the other to and from a station of close contact. The tub member, when the members are in the station of close contact, is adapted to face the chair portions, and is pivotable to the operative position for receiving interiorly at least a portion of the chair within the tub member. The seat and backrest portions of the chair member define a chamber adapted to be filled with a fluid of a predetermined temperature.
