  • BATH SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20100037386
    Abstract: A tub has a relatively low barrier over which a user may more easily step access or leave the tub. The barrier has a first side in fluid contact with fluid in the tub and a top. The barrier has a notch disposed in the first side and the top of the barrier for allowing water in the tub to flow therethrough in an overflow condition. Because the tub has a relatively low barrier, the higher notch allows a user to be covered by more fluid if therein.

    Abstract: A bath environment, such as a tub or shower, has a seat upon which a user sits, and a first panel, usually glass, for enclosing a first portion of the bath environment proximal to the seat. The first panel has a width roughly correlated to a width of the seat to allow a user easy access to the seat and to the panel to manipulate the panel. The invention also has a second panel for enclosing a second portion of the bath environment. The second panel has a hinge and a pair of partitions connected by the hinge so that the partitions pivot about the hinge to allow access to the bath environment distal from the seat. Also included is a stanchion that is disposed on and extends upwardly from an outer edge of the bath environment to a given height. The first panel has a length that extends downwardly from an upper region of the bath environment and ends at the height of the stanchion.
