Abstract: The invention relates to an adjustable, wall-mounted, shower-enclosure, support apparatus, adapted to provide, when required, enhanced protection against injury, through loss of balance, to a bather, using the shower in a bathtub-shower combination unit or, alternatively, a separate shower stall. A bather who loses balance, for any reason, while taking a shower, is liable to fall in any direction. Yet, wall-mounted grab-bars in a shower-enclosure, generally, provide protection against that risk in only one or two directions. To overcome that deficiency, the invention provides for an apparatus which incorporates a body-encompassing frame member that can surround the bather at a chosen height, when required, and thereby supply, in all directions within a horizontal plane, a reliable means of support which can be seized in an emergency or which can break a fall under certain circumstances, when the support cannot be used as intended.
