A sit-down bathing configuration is disclosed. The sit-down bathing configuration is easy to transport users into, is safer and aligns well with the bathing device. The sit-down bathing configuration comprises: a seated shower device with an open area under its sitting surface, and a mobile bathing chair; wherein the seat of said mobile bathing chair can be fitted above the sitting surface of the seated shower device and the mobile bathing chair can be wheeled in and out of the shower device.

The present disclosure relates to an improved mobility and transfer assistance device designed act as a stability device for the user, as well as, an improved transfer apparatus for assisting in the transfer of the user or patient from one location or position to another location or position. The present mobility and transfer assistance device can be used as both a mobility device, such as a walker or wheelchair, but is also designed to provide more stability and guidance to the user, thereby encouraging the user to perform many daily tasks independently with minimal assistance.

An assistive apparatus with a backrest assembly is disclosed to solve one of the problems of conventional toilet seats in lacking proper back support for individuals. The assistive apparatus also helps to put individuals sitting further forward to help the individuals to use the toilet much more easily. The assistive apparatus provides an adjustable toilet backrest assembly for supporting a human back. The backrest assembly includes a backrest pad, a top support frame connected to the backrest pad, and a bottom support frame. The backrest pad is designed to relieve pressure on the back of a person. The back support portion comprises a backrest frame and a back pad attached on the backrest frame for supporting the human back. The backrest frame provides means for adjusting height of the back pad to accommodate different height of the human back. The angle adjustment portion connects to the back support portion with the toilet mounting portion and provides an angle adjustment means for different position of sitting on toilet.

An assistive apparatus with adjustable height is designed to be placed on or about a toilet such that when an individual uses the toilet the weight of the individual is transferred to the assistive apparatus and not directly on the toilet, avoiding distribution of heavy weight to the toilet itself. The invention also includes a powered lifting mechanism to aid the individual in utilizing a toilet. The powered lifting mechanism includes a pair of lift arm assemblies which are driven by a motor at both sides to raise and lower the assistive platform and be tilted between a first stationery position and a second tilted position, tilted at an angle (a) in a vertical Z direction from a horizontal plane. The front and back supporting legs are used to provide sturdy structural support for a person's weight whiling sitting on the assistive apparatus atop of a toilet.

An assistive apparatus with a buttock-spreading mechanism suitable for assisting a person in getting onto a toilet is disclosed. The person using the toilet together with the assistive apparatus is able to transfer the bodyweight of the person to be supported by the assistive apparatus, thereby avoiding the transfer or distribution of the person's heavy weight directly to the toilet itself. The buttock-spreading mechanism includes expandable leaflets disposed on a platform to comfortably accommodates the dimensions of the person's buttocks, and the leaflets of the buttock-spreading mechanism is designed to be movable (e.g., expanded or retracted) for spreading the buttocks of the person.

A bathing chair assembly that allows access to genital and perianal regions of a bather includes a seat. A plurality of legs is coupled to and extends substantially perpendicularly from a bottom of the seat. The legs are configured to support the seat substantially parallel to a substantially horizontal surface, positioning the seat to support the bather. A backrest that is coupled to and extends from a rear edge of the seat is configured to support a back of the bather who is positioned on the seat. A void that is centrally positioned in the seat is configured to allow a user access to the genital and perianal regions of the bather.

The apparatuses and methods of making and using the same are directed to bathing apparatus to support an object while bathing the object with a fluid. The bathing apparatus may comprise a support assembly constituting a support structure of the apparatus; a support surface to support the object, the support surface supported by the support portion; and a fluid catch disposed on at least three sides of the support surface, the fluid catch serving as a basin for the fluid in such manner to contain the fluid separate from the support surface.

A bathroom compatible wheelchair assembly includes an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant toilet of any conventional design. A wheelchair is provided that has a seat portion for bearing a disabled person. The seat portion has a height of at least 20.0 inches thereby facilitating the seat portion to be positioned over the ADA compliant toilet when the wheelchair is rolled over the ADA compliant toilet. Moreover, the seat portion has an opening extending therethrough and the opening is aligned with the ADA compliant toilet when the seat is positioned over the ADA compliant toilet for directing the disabled person's waste into the ADA compliant toilet. A control circuit is coupled to the wheelchair and a cover unit is movably coupled to the wheelchair. The cover unit is electrically coupled to the control circuit and the cover unit is positionable into a covering position to cover the opening. Thus, the cover unit can be sat upon by the disabled person. The cover unit is positionable in an exposing portion having the opening being exposed thereby facilitating the disabled user to relieve themselves without leaving the wheelchair.
