INVALID BATH

摘要

A bath (1) for use by an elderly or disabled person. The bath (1) includes a side opening (3) which extends over the full width and height of the bath (1) and is surrounded by an outwardly and downwardly extending skirt (8). A door (4) with a channel (9) on its inner surface is upwardly translatable in its own plane to bring the door (4) over the opening (3) and force the skirt (8) into sealing engagement with a seal (11, 40) in the channel (9) which may be a foamed rubber seal or a part fluid-filled flexible tube up which the fluid is squeezed to effect sealing in upper portions of the tube as closing is completed.
