Abstract: A bench can be used with at least one of a bathtub and a shower. The bench includes a seating surface, a support for supporting the seating surface, and a restraining member configured to restrain a shower curtain when the bench is disposed at least partly within a bathtub. The restraining member can include a drain configured to direct liquid into the bathtub while the restraining member restrains the shower curtain. The bench may also include a handle adjacent the seating surface and a soap dish disposed substantially under the handle. The bench may also have a pad including foam that can be positioned on the seating surface to provide a second seating surface, and connectors that maintain the pad in position on the seating surface.

Abstract: A reinforced plastic pallet construction and assembly method are presented wherein multiple reinforcing bars are employed, at least some of the reinforcing bars having an exposed surface at a top surface, underneath surface or bottom surface of the pallet. In addition to functioning as a reinforcing member, the exposed surfaces of the reinforcing bars comprise an anti-skid surface for maintaining positioning of payload on the pallet or facilitating transport of the pallet, e.g., via a forklift or automated transport system. Various techniques for retaining the reinforcing bars within channels formed in the plastic pallet body are described. The reinforcing bars preferably comprise composite structural members of fiberglass reinforced plastic fabricated from a pultrusion process.
