The present invention relates to a support device for assisting a user in showering or toileting. The support device comprises a seat comprising a seating surface for supporting a weight of the user; a plurality of legs attached to the seat; a pair of handles configured to attach to substantially opposite side portions of the seat, each handle comprising a pair of end portions for attaching to the seat; and a securing element for securing each handle to the seat; wherein each of the substantially opposite side portions of the seat comprises a plurality of receptacles for snugly fitting the end portions of a respective handle, and wherein the support device is configured such that a portion of the user's weight on the handles of the support device applies a force that has a force component directed into each receptacle and parallel to a central axis of each receptacle.

A two parts shower/hair and body care dryer system that is contained within one installation unit. The shower and drying units are enclosed with durable glass wall and separated with bi-fold glass shower doors between the shower and the drying room. These doors are fold on the wall after showering by the user to access the drying room and to exist the unit. It is uniquely designed for everyone including the physically challenged. Imagine, after showering, having the pleasure of heated flooring in a drying room and a quiet flow of warm air from a built in over head dryer that blows radiating heat, covering ones body from head to toe.

The bi-fold glass shower doors decrease the size of the shower room when in use, and increase its size when the dryer is being used.

The present articulated shower chair and the present articulated showering chair comprise an articulated shell, a seat, a back and a base. The articulated shell includes a back section and a seat section. The seat section and the back section are mechanically connected to move between a seating position and a reclining position. The back section and the seat section are adapted for directing gray water, the back section directs gray water towards the seat section and the seat section directs gray water to a drain in both the seating position and the reclining position. The seat is adapted to be securely affixed to the seat section of the articulated shell. The back is adapted to be securely affixed to the back section of the articulated shell. The base supports the articulated shell. A showering management system is further provided herewith.

A building water-management system includes a base material and fiber composite sheets attached to the base material. Each fiber composite sheet includes a fiber core having a first side, an opposing second side, and a surface layer adhered to the first side of the fiber core. Adjacent fiber composite sheets are connected together by a lapped configuration such that the surface layer of a first fiber composite sheet extends from the base material and onto a fiber core of an adjacent second fiber composite sheet and the fiber cores of the first and second fiber composite sheets are aligned next to each other to allow water to flow between the fiber cores, thereby forming a continuous water drainage and repellant layer. A shower assembly using the fiber composite sheets is also disclosed.

An adjustable showerhead support system capable of being attached to a shower chair. The showerhead support system has a showerhead support assembly operated by a showerhead support track lever allowing a user to move a showerhead forwards and backwards. The showerhead support assembly also has a telescoping bracket and telescoping legs to allow a user to adjust the height of the showerhead. The showerhead support system also includes a back track assembly operated by a back track lever that allows the user to move the showerhead left and right. The showerhead support system also includes a counterbalance.

An adjustable shower seat and shelving unit including an adjustable pole, a top shelf disposed near a top portion of the adjustable pole, and a bottom shelf disposed near a bottom portion of the adjustable pole.

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 seat assembly comprising a first mounting bracket with a front side and a back side, a second mounting bracket with a front side and a back side, a first support rod hingedly connected to the first mounting bracket, a first tube stop secured to the first mounting bracket, a second support rod hingedly connected to the second mounting bracket, a second tube stop secured to the second mounting bracket, a first spring operationally associated with the first mounting bracket and the first support rod, a second spring operationally associated with the second mounting bracket and the second support rod, and a seat with an upper surface and a lower surface secured by its lower surface to the first support rod and the second support rod; wherein the back side of the first mounting bracket and second mounting bracket are each engaged to a vertical or near vertical surface.
