The spa can be battery operated or can use the electric cord and plug to power the jets for the bubbles action and to activate the water heating system. The power to the spa is easily controlled by using the on and off switch located on the side of the tub bowl. The spa comes with two removable soft and extendable foot rest pads that adjust for length desired. There are built in storage compartments located on the outer side walls of the tub bowl that can hold nail polish, cotton ball, Q-tips and other nail accessories for convenience.

Abstract: The folding step ladder has lower and upper treads and lower and upper risers which are pivotal relative to the treads. The ladder also has front and back side panels on each side of the treads. The side panels on each side are pivotal relative to each other. The lower riser is pivotal relative to the lower tread and to both of the front side panels. A rear panel is pivotal relative to both of the back side panels and the upper tread. When the step ladder is closed or folded and one of its components is lifted, gravity causes the step ladder to open or to unfold. When another of its components is lifted while the step ladder is open or unfolded, gravity causes the step ladder to close or to fold. Handles are provided on the two components to facilitate lifting of them.

Abstract: A corner-braced foot prop including a shelf and an angled support post resting on a base surface to support a load in an elevated position. The shelf includes a clearance hole through which the post is positioned and gripped by the clearance hole when the shelf rotates with respect to the post. The foot prop utilizes surrounding walls for lateral support while providing increasing stability when loaded by downward force.

Abstract: The articulating foot-elevating support includes a base into which a hydraulically actuated cylinder of telescoping sections arises therefrom to support a foot-shaped footrest thereon. The articulating foot-elevating support is designed for a specific use of aiding an end user in tying shoes onto his/her feet. The footrest can articulate about a pivot point atop the topmost telescoping section in a manner consistent with that of an ankle of a foot. The footrest includes an imprint of a foot thereon, which is a visual aid to an end user as to placement and orientation of a foot to be placed thereon. The hydraulically actuated cylinder includes multiple telescoping sections that enable the footrest elevation to be raised and lowered. The foot-shaped footrest may include a heel stop that prevents a foot from sliding off of the foot-shaped footrest when in use.

Abstract: A bench is used to support and provide access to a skate in an elevated position relative to a floor surface. The bench includes a seat portion having a sitting surface provided thereon, and a leg structure mounted to the seat portion and adapted to support the seat portion relative to the floor surface. A support portion is connected to the seat portion and provided with a through-slotted support surface adapted to receive and support a skate. The support surface includes at least one through-slot formed longitudinally thereof and dimensioned to receive a depending structure provided on a sole of the skate.

Abstract: A multipurpose, lower extremity, examination stool, has at least one light set in integral cooperation with at least one mirror to facilitate an examination of a foot by a person, a clinician, or a doctor. The foot examination stool preferably has a top mirror and a slide mirror. The slide mirror is slidably mounted below the top mirror and has a set of lights, to illuminate both the slide mirror and the lower extremity being tested or examined. The top mirror is illuminated by two sets of lights hingedly or rotatably mounted adjacently thereto and perpendicular to the slide mirror.
