Abstract: Assist means to aid users of bath and shower facilities; said means having installation independent of the typical screw type wall fasteners. Assist means comprising a horizontal grip bar having longitudinal, lateral, and vertical restraints. The longitudinal restraints consist of compressible means rotatively attaching to each extremity of the grip bar. Said lateral restraints comprise tensile means, suction cups, or like means, securing the grip bar to an enclosure wall parallel to the bar. During installation the grip bar is rotated about its longitudinal axis, causing the compressible means at each extremity to forcefully engage an enclosure wall. The vertical restraints connect to the grip bar and to lower compressible means that secure said restraints to the rim of a bathtub. A tub entry-exit bar and lift bar attaching to said grip bar provide safe assistance for the user.

Abstract: A wall mounted pivoting and locking support rail assembly providing improved support to assist elderly and physically challenged persons with safely using a bathtub or shower area. The present invention mounts to the wall like a conventional grab bar, however, it adds an additional rail handle with the ability to pivot outward from the wall, and lock in one of several angular positions to extend support outward from the wall, and more to the centre of a shower or tub. This outward support is invaluable to assist with elderly and disabled persons to safely enter, use, and exit from the bathtub without dangerous reaching.

Abstract: A bathtub railing assembly includes a bracket that is attached to a first wall and is positioned over and adjacent to a bathtub that is positioned between the first wall and a second wall. An elongated rod has a first end and a second end. The first end is pivotally coupled to the bracket so that the rod may be selectively positioned in a vertical position or a horizontal position. The second end of the rod is positioned adjacent to the second wall when the rod is in the horizontal position.

Abstract: A safety grab bar, such as may be used in a shower or a tub enclosure, comprises an inner liner, preferably formed of an extruded metal, and an outer overlying layer, preferably formed of a polymeric material such as plastic. The inner and outer liner mate together with a tongue and groove arrangement to prevent relative rotation between them. The inner liner and the outer overlying layer define the grab bar portion, and terminate at each end in a female receptacle, adapted to receive a male portion of a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket smoothly curves to complete a 90° turn, in order mount into a wall of the shower or bath enclosure. The male and female mating portions are flush at their outer dimensions to provide a smooth, unbroken profile. The male and female portions also include tongue and groove mating surface to prevent rotation of the grab bar within the mounting bracket.

Abstract: A bathroom wall mounted rack has mounts with a wall end as one end; holes set on the wall mount, and in the center one frame is perforated to the wall end. Through holes are set on the connector end of frame in the condition of radial transfixion, and the two ends of through hole are corresponding to the fillisters of wall mount. Bolts go through the through hole of frame connector end, the two ends protrude on two sides of frame connector ends and further embed into two fillisters of wall mount correspondingly so as to connect and fix the frame and wall mount. Therefore, the combination and orientation design of bolts will enable the frame to have an effect of firm support and orientation to actually avoid from circumvolution, loose and split so as to meet the advancement requirements of more firmness and durability.

Abstract: A seal for a bar mounted within a molded tub and surround. The seal includes a flexible flange and a tubular body extending therefrom. The seal provides a plurality of sealing surfaces which operate to engage the bar and aperture such that an effective redundant waterproof seal is provided. The flexible flange is generally perpendicular to the tubular body and is sized to cover any chips or cracks which may exist about the aperture and to accommodate a non-parallel, curved, and/or angled wall portion.

Abstract: An unproved structure of a bathroom accessories holder allowing fast installation and replacement is essentially comprised of a positioning disk, a bonnet and a central lever; the disk being secured into the wall, one end of the central lever being inserted into a square guide rod on the disk through a bushing and a bonnet; and the other end being provided with a ball penetrated by a screw with both ends of the screw respectively secured with a hook and a bulb to be connected to bathroom accessories.

Abstract: A coupling device for a sanitary fitting is disclosed. The present invention relates to a coupling device, and in particular, a coupling device for mounting sanitary fittings such as showering fittings disposed onto the walls of the bathroom.

Abstract: A grab handle attached to a chair, said grab handle comprising a fluid passageway and a fluid outlet for flow therethrough of a fluid. The grab handle may be used for washing and/or drying a person sitting in the chair, for example.

Abstract: Coupling device for sanitary fitting is disclosed.

Abstract: A healthcare device intended for use by persons with either temporary or permanent limited mobility as a paraplegic or near paraplegic, who possess full use of the upper body and upper extremities. An intermediary device between the bedside commode where use of lower extremities permits walking, and the bedpan where a person is immobile or requires the help of an attendant or caregiver. This toilet or commode does not require the user to stand or sit independently, and there is no need to turn around for use. It is comprised of a wedged shaped, smooth surface, ventrally cantilevered bench with a toilet opening above a suspended waste collection bucket at the enlarged far end. Enclosed on three sides by a girdling fence rail, it is approached directly by a wheelchair user who, with chair brakes set, can slide forward onto the co-planer bench using the parallel side rails to aid in forward and backward movement.

Abstract: A lift assisting device and a stabilizing device for a bather and a showerer, respectively. The device includes a rope and a plurality of rungs. The rope is suspended from a ceiling. The plurality of rungs are operatively connected to the rope for grasping by the bather to assist in lifting and the showerer for stabilizing. The plurality of rungs are molded around the rope so as to form an integral unit therewith. The rope is one-piece for integrity and passes through the plurality of rungs to define a path that is double-helix-like that prevents the bather and the showerer from falling if one of the plurality of rungs fails since double lengths of the rope pass through each of the plurality of rungs.

Abstract: A lift assisting device includes a longitudinal extension member having two angled arms extending outwardly from a wall. The arms are joined together at the wall end to form a loop which pivotally and tightly engages a tubular bar mounted along the wall. The other ends of the arms engage a handle which can be grasped by a person to pull up from a sitting position or lower down from a standing position. The extension member can maintain a longitudinal position extending from the wall or a vertical position along the wall. The preferred use of the extension member is for safely lowering into or rising from a bathtub with the device extending from a wall at the head of the tub.
