A multi-compartment walk-in bathtub is disclosed that allows for a first compartment of the walk-in bathtub to be filled with a quantity of water while a second compartment of the walk-in bathtub allows the user to enter the bathtub. A first movable gate contains a volume of water in the first compartment while the second compartment is in an unfilled condition. A second movable gate is operable to open and close an entry sidewall of the bathtub, allowing the user to enter the second compartment. The second movable gate is then moved to a closed position. When the second movable gate is in the closed condition, the first movable gate may be moved to an open condition to release the volume of water and fill the walk-in bathtub to a filled condition. A seat may be provided that is selectively elevated and lowered by drive mechanism.

A baby bathing system including a bathing tub, having a reservoir and a bath basin connected to the reservoir by a weir discharging bath water from the reservoir into the bath basin. A baby bath support insert is received within the bath basin downstream of the reservoir, the baby bath support insert having a flexible seat and a base projection projecting from the flexible seat towards the bath basin. The base projection is conformally seated against an interior surface of the bath basin and supports the flexible seat raised from the interior surface of the bath basin with the baby bath support insert received in the bath basin. The base projection includes at least one aperture extending through the base projection and disposed so that bath water from under the flexible seat communicates through the base projection with outer sides of the bath basin.

A slip-resistant seat includes a seat and anti-slip units. The seat includes a rest portion, legs and butting portions. The legs are disposed below the rest portion. The butting portions are disposed beside the legs, respectively. The anti-slip units are disposed at the legs, respectively. The anti-slip units each include a fitting element, anti-slip portion, adsorption element and force-bearing portion. The adsorption elements are disposed beside the fitting elements, respectively. The fitting elements are higher than the adsorption elements. The anti-slip portions are disposed at the bottoms of the fitting elements. The force-bearing portions are disposed on the top surfaces of the adsorption elements. The fitting elements are fitted to the bottoms of the legs. The butting portions are separated from the force-bearing portions, respectively, by a prepressing distance. When the seat carries a load, the fitting elements are pressed downward, and the prepressing distance shortens.

A bench assembly can be for use in a bathtub for showering. The bench assembly can comprise a frame that is configured to sit within a bathtub. A bench can be coupled to the frame. A pivotable platform assembly can comprise a platform support structure pivotably coupled to the frame and a platform coupled to the platform support structure. The pivotable platform assembly can be configured to bias against an upper rim of the bathtub.

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 bathtub system includes a bathtub body and a bath plate. The bath tub body defines a bathing volume. The bath plate is configured to detachably connect with the bathtub body within the bathing volume. The bath plate includes a bath plate body and telescopic pieces arranged on two sides of the bath plate body. The telescopic pieces are fixedly connected with the bath plate body. A wall of the bathtub body includes a wall protrusion configured to retain the telescopic piece.

Lift-assist systems for adjustable objects are provided, which could include at least one of an enclosed spring and a substantially flat, elongated torsion spring. Suitable substantially flat springs could be configured to twist and untwist up to between 45-135 degrees when the seat or other object is adjusted between stowed and use configurations. In some preferred aspects, the spring could be made from a tempered steel material.

The present invention may be used for one to bathe in and is a bathtub with a cover attached at the top of the bathtub body, and a reclining backseat may be within the bathtub.

A waterproof chair for use when bathing is provided. The chair may include an on-board system for raising and lowering the chair between sitting and raised positions. The chair may be used by elderly persons to assist them in sitting and standing in a shower, for example. The chair may include a rechargeable battery for powering a linear actuator for moving the chair between sitting and raised positions. The chair may also be adapted to allow a seat on the chair to swivel relative to a base of the chair. The chair may include an automatic lock to restrict relative movement of the seat and the base when the seat is being raised, and then automatically unlock to again allow for swivel motion when the seat has been moved back into its sitting position. Hydraulic and pneumatic embodiments are also disclosed.

A shower bench seat configured for use in a shower area is provided. The shower bench seat including an inboard assembly configured for placement within the shower area and an outboard assembly configured for placement adjacent the shower area. An intermediate assembly is configured to connect the inboard assembly to the outboard assembly. The intermediate assembly is further configured to retain a shower curtain within the shower area thereby facilitating use of the shower bench seat by a user in a seated position and simultaneously facilitating retention of water within the shower area.
