BATHTUB ENTRY SEAT

摘要

A bath tub entry seat for use in combination with a bath tub having side walls comprises a seat and a framework installable to extend transversely over the bath tub. The seat is mounted to a seat support that is movable on the framework. There is also a locking system for locking the seat support in a pre-determined position on the framework. The locking system comprises a lever movable between a lockable position with the framework and a disengaged position. The locking system is designed such that the lever automatically moves to the lockable position whenever a user is seated on the seat so that the seat will automatically lock into place on the frame when the seat support reaches the pre-determined position. Accordingly, the user does not need to concern themselves with operation of the lever and can concentrate on steadying themselves on the seat.
