A bath-lift installation has a flexible belt (1) extending across the bath (3) as a seat for raising and lowering a user, and the location of a back-rest (10) is adjustable lengthwise of the bath (3) between the belt (1) and the bath-head (14) to afford support to the user when raised and when recumbent. The back-rest (10) is carried by an arm (11) which extends transversely of the bath (3) from an arm (12) that for the adjustment slides longitudinally lengthwise of the bath (3) through a unit (13). Support for the transverse arm (11) is provided at both ends by rollers running on the bath-rim (15), and the unit (13) has a locking device (19) for selective engagement with the arm (12) in restraining its sliding. The unit (13) and manually-slidable arm (12) may be replaced by a motorised unit (25) and arm (26). A two-part back-rest (21) with its lower part (23) hinged to the upper part (22), may be used to take up the slope of the bath-head (14) during rearward movement of the back-rest (21). |
