Abstract: A seat and storage unit for a bathtub includes a platform, a support panel and at least one drawer supported by the support panel. The support panel extends from the platform in a substantially perpendicular relationship thereto a distance from a rear end of the platform and with a first side and a second side of the support panel spaced inwardly relative to a first side and a second side of the platform to cooperate with the platform to define a first wall receiving notch and a second wall receiving notch such that a portion of a bottom surface of the platform is positioned on the top end of the sidewalls of the bathtub when the support panel is positioned between the sidewalls of the bathtub.

Abstract: A utility tub includes a basin having a bottom wall and a sidewall extending generally perpendicularly therefrom. At least two legs support the basin above a supporting surface. Each of the at least two legs extends generally perpendicularly with respect to the bottom wall of the basin and the supporting surface. A shelf includes a top surface and an opposing bottom surface. The shelf is selectively removably detachable to the basin and each of the at least two legs such that the shelf has a first configuration wherein a least a portion of the shelf is supported within the basin above the bottom wall and the second configuration wherein at least a portion of the shelf is supported by the at least two legs below the bottom wall of the basin.

Abstract: A spa enclosure for a spa tub is provided with a cabinet having at least one towel bar or towel hook and which at least partially recesses into the wall of the enclosure. The cabinet is provided with vent openings which permit heat cogenerated by a water pump used to pump water in the spa, an air blower, and/or a water heater to enter the cabinet by convection, heat towels provided on the bars or hooks, and exit through an upper portion of the cabinet. No additional dedicated heating element is provided to heat the towels. According to one preferred embodiment of the invention, the cabinet is hinged at a lower portion to the enclosure and pivots about the hinge to open. The front and sides of the cabinet are preferably insulated to retain heat within the cabinet, and likewise, the enclosure may be insulated. A supply of towels may be kept in the cabinet or towels may be placed in the cabinet just prior to entering the spa tub.

Abstract: A collapsible bathing assembly utilizes a flexible liner housed within a cabinet. Rigid side walls for supporting the side walls of the liner are pivotally joined to the cabinet, and by pivoting action move the liner into and out of the cabinet. The rigid side walls and a rigid bottom support plate serve as the side walls and front wall of the cabinet when the liner is positioned within the cabinet and the bathing assembly is not in use. A rigid end wall is mounted for pivotal movement about an axis adjacent to the bottom of the liner to provide for the adjustable supporting of one of the ends of the liner, particularly to provide for collapsing of that liner end onto the bottom of the liner, resulting in easy access to the bathtub for an invalid. A framework is provided to support the top of the cabinet and to facilitate installation of the bathing assembly, including plumbing. The liner may be omitted, if desired, in which case the walls are provided with water-tight seals.

Abstract: Apparatus for aiding in the showering of bathing of bed patients, which apparatus includes disposable non-porous sheets adapted to be fitted within a basin for collecting shower and bath water after use.
