A safety ladder for a pool includes a movable ladder portion that can be moved between an accessible position and an inaccessible position. The movable ladder portion is disposed substantially outside of the pool and provides a series of steps that can be climbed vertically for entry into the pool when it is located in the accessible position. In the inaccessible position, the movable ladder portion is moved such that the steps can no longer be climbed and access to the pool is prevented. Such safety ladder assemblies are provided primarily to prevent children and other at risk individuals from entering an unattended pool. A dampening member is provided such that the force necessary to move the movable ladder portion is regulated to prevent a dangerous accumulation of moment and limit a risk of injury through harmful contact therewith.

There is provided a shoe tie-assisting device that allows a user to position themselves such that they can tie their own shoes. The shoe tie assisting device includes a frame assembly that includes support columns spaced to create a geometric space between them. The support columns are connected with support bars. The shoe tie-assisting device further includes a platform assembly positioned in the geometric space between the support columns. The platform assembly allows a user to place one of their feet thereon. The shoe tie-assisting device further includes a handle assembly having one or more components that the user can grasp. This component(s) are positioned at height that a user can grasp them from an upright position without having to bend over. Using the platform assembly and handle assembly, a user can position their body such that they can tie their own shoes.

The present invention provides a pool ladder with an automatic wash-down system for cleaning a person's feet before entering a swimming pool. The pool ladder includes a staircase to allow a person to climb into the swimming pool. The wash-down system includes nozzles positioned in the staircase to direct water spray towards the person's feet. The wash-down system further includes sensors to detect the presence of the person on the staircase and a controller to regulate the flow of water to the nozzles, based on signals from the nozzles, for automatic washing of the person's feet when the person is standing on one of the steps of the staircase.

An automated system for raising and lowering a person to various desired levels enables the person to more comfortably and safely perform activities and tasks that require them to be at an elevated position relative to floor or ground surface. This system can comprise a lift platform attached to a series of vertical rails. The lift platform moves vertically along the rails, a user elevates to a desired position or height to perform the intended task. This system enables the user to determine their exact position instead of being at predetermined heights from using conventional devices such as ladders or stools. Once on the lift platform, a user can further secure themselves to the lift platform with a brace attached to the vertical rails. This brace would fit around the user's back and side straps would secure the brace to the vertical rails of the system.
