<p>The invention relates to a lifting device in order to take a bath without any help. The device is intended to help handicapped persons to sit in their bath-tub and to get out of the bath-tub without any help. The device is comprised of at least two non extensible pockets (M and N), which may be inflated with water from the mains or by means of a fluid, and are enclosed in hinged bars (8, 9, 10, 11, 20, 21, 22, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29), which are arranged in a cross-configuration, of different lengths forming at least two housings situated on either side of a fixed axis (24, 25), their extremities being themselves pivotingly hinged to a frame (2) carrying a seat (1) and also to a frame (3) adhering to the bath-tub, the assembly resting perfectly when bringing the seat and the base closer to each other. A three-way valve (O) controls the supply of the pockets and therefore the raising of the device, or the evacuation of the content of the pockets into the bath-tub and therefore the lowering of the device. The device of the invention is particularly intended to help any aged or physically handicapped person to take a bath alone without help.</p> |
