A BATHING ENVIRONMENT HAVING A FLOOR WITHOUT A THRESHOLD

摘要

According to the invention, a bathing environment, such as a shower or a tub, has an entry way that does not encumber entry or exit from a bathing environment. The bathing environment has a drain in the entry way so that the entry way remains substantially level so that a user encounters no threshold if entering or exiting said bathing environment. The drain has a channel in the entry way for collecting water that flows to it, and a cover over the channel. The environment has a floor that slopes gently to the channel so that water is directed to the channel for removal therefrom.
