Abstract: The present invention relates to a bath seat. The bath seat has a top, a front end, and a back end opposite thereof. The top extends between the front end and the back end of the bath seat. The top includes a centrally disposed channel. The channel includes an enlarged first end, a second end opposite thereof, and a connecting portion connecting the ends of the channel together. The second end of the channel aligns with one of the front end and the back end of the seat. Fluid entering into the channel is directed to the second end of the channel, past said one of the front end and the back end of the seat and thereby drains from the seat.

Abstract: There is provided a walker apparatus having a pair of spaced-apart, upright frame members. The walker apparatus includes a seat operatively connected to the upright frame members. The walker apparatus has a backrest cantilevered from the frame members. The backrest has at least one opening extending therethrough for permitting a user's vision past the backrest when the user grips the upright frame members.

Abstract: The present invention provides a folding mechanism for a walker apparatus. The folding mechanism includes a pair of spaced-apart inner frame members. Each of the inner frame members has a first part and a second part hingedly connected together.
