  • Patent number: 5341525
    Abstract: A shower lounge chair for supporting an individual in a bathtub is characterized by a horizontal frame which rests on the side walls of the bathtub and includes adjustable laterally extending struts which are braced against the bathtub side walls. A back rest and a leg rest are pivotally connected with the frame and hydraulic pistons are connected between the frame and the back rest and leg rest to independently control the position of each. More particularly, the back rest is pivoted between a lower position parallel to the frame and an upper position perpendicular to the frame so that an individual may be supported in selected positions between prone and upright positions. The leg rest is pivoted between a lower downwardly extending position and an upper position parallel to the frame for supporting the legs and feet of the individual in selected positions within or above the bathtub.
