  • Patent number: 6378145
    Abstract: A device consisting of a combination of a bathtub (1) with a shower tray (3), in which the bathtub (1), when in position B=Bathing, is positioned over shower tray (3) in such a way that its water outlet ends up over the shower tray (3), whilst when in the other possible position S=Showering, it stands upright, i.e. end over end, on one of its ends, thereby freeing access to shower tray (3). Bathtub (1) can easily be manoeuvred from one position to the other by a lifting mechanism and the application of force, preferably generated by an electric motor (13). By completely separating the bathtub from the shower tray and by positioning the bathtub over the shower tray, the edge of the shower tray is on the one hand kept as low as it would be if there were indeed a separate shower tray, whilst on the other hand, the edge of the bathtub is only slightly raised. As a result, both parts are extremely user-friendly, especially for elderly or handicapped persons.
