DE 10141822 A UPAB: 20030526 NOVELTY - The bath tub (10) for disabled persons has a bath entry device with one or more fluid or gas-filled, compressible chambers (14) arrangeable in it and which work in conjunction with a person on entering the bath. The chambers can be changed from a filled position for entering or leaving the bath into an empty position in which the person is actually in the bath or when the bath is not in use. In this latter position, the chambers locate on the bottom of the bath in a compressed state. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The chambers are formed as cushions. A locator is provided, which is at least sectionally rigid, for the person and works in conjunction with the chambers. It has a central rigid section, to which are connected two side sections, which are folded in the emptied position. The chambers each have single compartments for accommodation of gas or fluid. USE - As an aid for disabled persons when taking a bath. ADVANTAGE - The aid can be used with all normal baths and can be further removed without problem and rapidly. It particularly provides a safe and problemless entry into a bath for nervous or frail persons.
