A disposable liner for use with a reusable infant's bathtub. A workable liner may be formed from two parallel flat sheets of plastic film, bonded together around an outside boundary. The liner is disposable in a flat configuration of minimum thickness, and can then be folded to form a space-efficient rectangular package of substantially constant thickness. Certain liners may include a backrest cushion.

A hinge having a pair of bathtub mounting blocks mounted to a bathtub surround adjacent a door jamb and a pair of door mounting blocks mounted to a bathtub door, with articulating linkage extending between the bathtub mounting blocks and the door mounting blocks. The articulating linkage has a pair of bathtub arms that pivotally couple at a first end to the bathtub mounting blocks through a first pivot rod and pivotally couple at a second end to a pair of door arms through a second pivot rod. Each door arm pivotally couples at an opposite end to one of the door mounting blocks through a third pivot rod. A spring mounted about the first pivot rod enables the bathtub arms and the bathtub door to rise. A method of door closure and opening for a walk-in bathtub is disclosed.

A foot mat is a mat for placing on the bottom of a bathtub or shower to prevent the user slipping and falling, and having a second and third function of vibrating to provide foot massage automatically when the user stands on the mat, and an abrasive edge such as a loofah sponge for exfoliating the contactable surfaces of the feet.

The portable bathtub safety device is a portable inflatable barrier system, that when correctly installed and maintained (fully inflated) should help prevent people from falling into most types of empty bathtubs. The device utilizes a separate barrier cushion over the edge of the tub that should lessen the chance of serious injury by acting as a protective cushion over the edge of the tub.

A rotary bathtub grab-bar chair includes a base body, a rotary base, and a seat. A fixed board is provided on the base body and is threadedly provided with a threaded rod. A moving block is threadedly connected to the threaded rod and is connected with a clip board. The clip board and the fixed board are movable toward each other by rotating the threaded rod. The base body further has annularly arranged and equally spaced bolt holes. The rotary base is coupled to, and rotatable but limited in movement with respect to, the base body and includes a bolt tube to correspond to any of the bolt holes. A bolt can move in the bolt tube and be movably engaged in any of the bolt holes. The seat is coupled to the rotary base and has openings. One can enter a bathtub easily while seated on the seat.

A system for jet hydrotherapy configured to produce a fluid jet from an aerated fluid flow at sufficiently high velocities/pressures for massage or therapeutic treatment, which is accomplished by an internal geometry that places, at least, fluid and gas orifices, vessels and nozzles in the optimum location and configuration to create high fluid flow velocities throughout the system. The system also is configured to produce a fluid jet with sufficiently high gas content such that a user experiences less discomfort and/or pain when the fluid jet is applied to sensitive tissue areas. The system also is configured to provide a tactile interface upon which a system user can mechanically engage to supplement the jet hydrotherapy.

A storage system for a shower enclosure includes a first wall member, a second wall member, and a storage accessory. The first wall member includes a corner defining a recessed portion. The first wall member further includes a corner notch disposed along the corner within the recessed portion, and a first side notch disposed along an inner side surface of the first wall member adjacent the recessed portion. The second wall member is coupled to the first wall member at an end of the corner adjacent the recessed portion and is oriented perpendicular to the first wall member. The second wall member includes a second side notch disposed along an inner side surface of the second wall member. The storage accessory is removably coupled between the first wall member and the second wall member at the corner notch, the first side notch, and the second side notch.

A fog generator assembly includes a water vapor generator, a fragrance dispenser, and a mixing element fluidly coupled to the water generator and the fragrance dispenser. The mixing element is configured to mix a fog of water vapor from the water vapor generator with a fragrance from the fragrance dispenser to produce an aromatic fog.

A ball joint connector is provided for linking a showerhead to a water supply pipe. The connector has an internal venturi that draws air into the connector to aerate water being provided to the showerhead. A flow control member is disposed in a fluid pathway connected to the venturi, preventing spraying or leaking out the air inlet, while reducing noise associated with the air induction.

An exemplary embodiment of a user interface display panel includes a top or cover glass layer which extends to the perimeter of the panel housing. A touch-sensitive display layer is adhered to the bottom surface of cover glass layer to form a touch sensitive display assembly and is just smaller in area than that of the cover glass layer to provide a peripheral lip region for adherence to a waterproof gasket to bond the cover glass and display layer to the housing structure. The display layer is supported above the surface of the tub wall. The arrangement results in an active touch-sensitive display area significantly larger than display areas provided in the past by interface panels.
