Disclosed are methods, devices and kits for controlling water flow when using a transfer bench, comprising a transfer bench splash guard.

This device relates to a pneumatically inflatable cushion, which is lightweight, portable, extremely durable, and aesthetically attractive. The device is an inflatable cushion designed to assist in raising and lowering people who are unable to move freely by themselves. It is designed to support, horizontally stabilize, and center a person sitting on the cushion. This device can be used in the bathtub while exposed to water, and on regular surfaces both indoors and outdoors. This device is also designed to provide lift and support on solid surfaces and on water surfaces. This device is also designed to assist in the raising and lowering of objects, both living and non-living. The height and width can be easily customized and adapted to the needs of the user. This device may be used individually or connected with multiple units to form a larger monolithic device capable of lifting larger and heavier loads.

Disclosed is a bath lift with a rotating seat assembly to assist an individual with decreased mobility in and out of a bathtub. The rotating seat includes an assembly that can be raised or lowered using a DC powered linear actuator. The linear actuator will also move a backrest from an upright position to a reclined position. A controller includes logic to prevent operation should the batteries have insufficient power to raise the seat assembly. Slip resistant padding is comprised of medical-grade, closed cell, molded polyurethane padding that does not absorb water and reduces the risk of skin tears.

A bathing system, includes a transfer system having a carrier base and a transfer seat. A sliding of the transfer seat relative to the carrier base may facilitate transfer of the transfer seat toward or away from the tub. A first arm and a second arm of the carrier base extends into and overlaps with a first support surface and a second support surface of the tub respectively. A controller may be in operative communication with a plurality of sensors and determine whether the bathing system is in a state where it is permissible to transfer the transfer seat toward or away from the tub and if so, actuate components of the transfer system to permit the transfer of a patient in the transfer system.

A transfer apparatus for receiving the chair seat of a wheelchair and supporting the chair seat in the base of a washing enclosure. The transfer apparatus has a chair support member including a chair support track section that can be positioned in the washing enclosure base, a bridge portion with a bridge track section that is movably mounted to the chair support member. The transfer apparatus includes a lock system usable to secure the bridge portion in an in-use position and engaged with the wheelchair. A first lock inhibits rotational motion of the bridge portion. The first lock includes a retractable locking member that is biased to an extended, locking position. A second lock is usable to prevent longitudinal separation of the bridge portion and the wheelchair. The first and second lock can be automatically engaged when the bridge portion is moved to the in-use position.

An illustrated view of an exemplary motorized bath seat apparatus for assisting bathers getting in and out of a bathtub is presented. The motorized bath seat apparatus is useful for assisting an individual into safely and conveniently lower the individual or bather into the bathtub without human assistance. The motorized bath seat apparatus further allows a disabled, post-surgical patient, elderly, etc. more easily bathe without assistance of a caregiver therefore giving the bather privacy and self-value. The apparatus has two rails coupled to motor. The motor powers a bracket that is coupled to the rail and is hingedly attached such that the seat can be moved to allow a person to move a seat apparatus over the bath tube then utilize an actuator to lower and raise the seat assembly. The seat assembly is coupled to a bracket. The seat assembly has a seat coupled to a bottom of a first right arm rest and to a bottom of a second arm rest. The bracket is coupled to a seat back that is coupled to the right arm rest and coupled to the left arm rest.

A bathtub lift (1) includes a floor plate (2), a seat plate (3) adjustable to vary the distance between the seat plate (3) and the floor plate (2), and a back plate (4) detachably arranged on the seat plate (3). The back plate (4) supports an adjustment device (5) driven by a drive (6) for adjusting the distance between the floor plate and the seat plate. A locking device (7) is configured to release the back plate (4). The back plate (4) is not arranged on the surface (8) of the seat plate (3) facing away from the floor plate (2), and a detaching of the floor plate (4) is only made possible in a floor-plate-side end position of the seat plate (3).

A bathing construction (100), comprising a bathing enclosure (110) and a seat (120) for supporting a person. The seat is pivotably coupled to a pivot (130) of the bathing construction for pivoting the seat about a horizontal axis, such that the seat, upon rotation of the pivot, is movable between a retracted position of the seat within the bathing enclosure and an extended position of the seat outside the bathing enclosure. The bathing construction further comprises an actuation system (140) coupled to the pivot, wherein the actuation system is configured to rotate the pivot for a movement of the seat between the retracted position of the seat and the extended position of the seat.

A bathing auxiliary chair suitable for bathtubs of different sizes generally includes a seating unit and a supporting unit. The seating unit, which allows a user to sit thereon while bathing, is supported by the supporting unit and can be moved between a first position and a second position. The seating unit is provided with a front guide shell and two rear guide shells. In use, when the seating unit is located at the first position or the second position, one of the rear guide shells can abut against a fastener located at a rear tube of the supporting unit, and the front guide shell can be coupled to a front tube of the supporting unit through a button of a snap mechanism, so that the seating unit can be fixed at the position reliably, and the bathing auxiliary chair can be used safely.

The present invention provides a bathing seat structure for use in a bathtub, wherein the legs frame enables fixed positioning of the base, and the base enables fixed positioning of the seat cushion. The base is provided with two freeing mechanisms, a lever, and a rolling device. After pulling open the lever, the rolling device enables the seat cushion to rotate. The two freeing mechanisms must be pressed to a predetermined depth and must be pressed simultaneously, only then can the seat cushion be shifted laterally, thus preventing inadvertent contact and causing displacement of the seat cushion. The rolling device uses a two-tier centrifugal configuration, thereby supporting equal distribution of a person's weight to achieve smooth rotation with no inclining of the seat cushion, and thus extending the serviceable life of the rolling device.
