Abstract: A shelter specially adapted to function as a portable toilet is disclosed being collapsible for ease of shipment. Inefficiencies of shipping fully assembled portable toilet shelters are eliminated by a modular construction shelter having foldable walls, a removable roof, base member and commode.

Abstract: A transparent enclosure for a bathing facility such as a bath tub, tub-shower or shower stall, comprises a domed hood cylindrically and/or spherically curved about a radius substantially matching the width of the enclosure to confine the hot moist air from the hot water within the bathing facility and to cause it to circulate around the person of the user. The hood is made of three telescoping parts for adjustment to fit different lengths of tub and shower stall installations, and a riser is provided for use where the normal top of the enclosure would provide inadequate head room if the hood were mounted directly thereon.

Abstract: A combination camper door for a camper vehicle, such as a camper shelf or pickup trucks and the like, wherein the camper door is manufactured in such manner as to define a holding tank for water. The camper door is pivotal from a substantially vertical orientation when closed to a substantially horizontal orientation when open. The camper door is provided with a valve controlled shower fitting which extends downwardly in the open position of the door and is interconnected with the water tank so that a person standing beneath the open camper door may manipulate the shower valve and drain water from the holding tank through the shower nozzle for the purpose of taking a shower bath. The camper door is provided with a fill opening interconnected with the water holding tank which is located in the upper portion of the tank in both the open and closed positions of the door, enabling filling of the water holding tank regardless of the position of the door.

Abstract: A portable, lightweight, free-standing tub accessory for use in conventional shower stalls has a generally planar bottom wall and a vertical side wall enclosure extending therefrom to define a container open at the upper end. A panel of the vertical side wall has a cylindrical form and is slidable to provide entry and exit from the container. A drain opening is formed in the bottom and includes means designed to be actuated by the foot of an occupant by sense of feel only, and an adjustable seat may be provided within the tub.

Abstract: A knocked-down kit for assembling a shower stall or bath tub enclosure comprises a base panel, dome panel and three side panels, the side panels being interlocked by a split clamping tube which resiliently clamps together outwardly extending flanges along the abutting vertical edges of the side panels, and the side panels being interlocked with the base panel by a resilient flange which snaps over an outwardly extending flange along the upper periphery of the base panel as the side panels are lowered onto the base panel. The interlock between the dome and side panels is symmetrically opposite to the base-side panel interlock.

Abstract: A shower bath, sink, or other fluid receiving vessel is described wherein heat is reclaimed from the drain fluid to warm the incoming cold water to reduce the amount of hot water which must be mixed in to produce water of the temperature desired for use within the vessel. The improvement consists of a cover pan for collecting the received fluid and depositing it on a particular region of the vessel floor which is contoured to direct the received fluid along a particular channel to a drain. The cold water supply tube is positioned within the channel in contact with the draining fluid. The warmer drain fluid transfers heat energy into the cooler water flowing within the submerged cold water supply tube.

Abstract: A partition-wall arrangement comprises a hollow post which is stationary mountable on that corner of a bath or shower tub which is diagonally opposed to a room corner in which the tub is installed. The hollow post is mounted by clamping it between the tub and the room ceiling. The hollow post contains one or a pair of winding shafts at which a pair of flexible partition-walls is wound up, which can be extracted against the effect of a return spring respectively through a vertical slit or a pair of slits into directions which form a right angle with one another and can be connected in the extracted positions at opposed room walls.

Abstract: Portable camping clean-up equipment center is provided that can be shoulder carried, hung by a tree branch, or placed on a table or in a car comprising a central container which can be filled with water to which are disposably attached a cup holder, a paper towel holder, a soap holder, and a trash holder and in addition is provided with valve controlled faucet and a valved shower head.

Abstract: A shower device has a bar on which slide a spray head support and a manually operable grip. At least two continuous chains, one connected to the grip and another to the spray head support, pass over a respective pulley mounted at each end of the bar. At one end of the bar the pulleys of two adjacent chains are connected to rotate with one another and the pulleys at the other end of the bar rotate independently with one of the pulleys at one end of the bar over which passes the chain for the spray head having a larger diameter to vary the ratio of movement between the grip and the head.

Abstract: The chair of a transfer bench includes hooks for selectively engaging and disengaging the seat from supporting tracks. Rollers attached to the chair allow the chair to move on the tracks. The bench portion comprises a pair of parallel tubular tracks supported by legs. A pair of safety hooks attached to the underside of the chair loosely engage the tracks and keep the chair from tipping. The legs are normally locked in the open position. For storage purposes it is possible to unlock the legs and fold them up against the track unit. A genital guard is provided on the underside of the seat to insure patient comfort and protection. The apparatus allows the user to transfer into and out of a bathtub or shower with a minimum of inconvenience and a maximum of security.

Abstract: A doorless shower stall which confines water such that it cannot be sprayed nor splashed outside of the stall is disclosed. The stall includes a shower chamber area which is enclosed except for an entry passage to the shower chamber. Connected to the shower chamber area by the entry passage is an antechamber having a primary entry way which leads outside of the shower stall and which primary entry way is substantially perpendicular to the entry passage into the shower chamber. In a preferred embodiment, the shower stall is manufactured of molded fiberglass or other material which includes a floor which slopes such that water in the antechamber runs away from the primary entry way and through the entry passage into the shower chamber. The floor of the shower chamber is itself sloped toward a drain located at a desired location in the shower chamber. The shower stall may further include a molded fiberglass cap or ceiling to further prevent escaping moisture from causing damage outside of the shower stall.
