Abstract: A bracing panel 1 for bracing a wall having a wall frame 100 defining an internal space, wherein the bracing panel 1 includes a first bracing frame, a sheet panel 1a having a flat planar portion dimensioned to have at least the same height or width as the first bracing frame; and a second bracing frame adapted to retain and hold the sheet panel between the first and second bracing frames wherein the bracing panel is adapted to be positioned and secured within the internal space of the wall frame of the wall to be braced such that bracing panel is dimensioned to fit within the wall frame.

Abstract: A retractable shower support (A), typically a retractable shower chair, for moving an invalid in and out of a shower, wherein the retractable shower support (A) includes (i) at least a pair of elongate frame members (C), (D), connected to one another by a hinge mechanism such that each elongate frame member (C), (D) is adapted to be pivoted about the hinge mechanism between a stowed position and an erected position and whereby, when in the erected position, the upper surfaces of the elongate frame members are aligned in the same plane and at least one of the pair of elongate frame members is adapted to extend into a shower cavity, (ii) a platform (23) slidably mounted to an upper surface of the elongate frame members (C), (D) to enable the platform (23) to be slid back and forth along the elongate frame members (C), (D), and (iii) an invalid support means (B) mounted to an upper surface of the platform (23), wherein the invalid support means (B) is adapted to be moved from an upright position when in use, an

Abstract: The invention resides in a frame plumbing system and method typically for the plumbing and levelling of panels, frames or walls, having an outer frame member, an inner panel/frame/wall member sized to fit within the outer frame member, and a fastener adapted to plumb the inner frame member relative to the outer frame member. The frame plumbing method includes placing an inner frame member within the outer frame member and then inserting the fastening member through the inner frame and into the outer frame member. The fastening member can be tightened or un-tightened so that the inner frame member is able to move toward or away from the outer frame member. The tightening or un-tightening the fastening means causes the inner frame member to move relative to the outer frame member until the inner frame member is situated in a plumb/level position. Once the inner frame member is plumb with the outer frame member, the inner frame member is secured to the outer frame member.
