Raising seat for bath for handicapped person, used e.g. in hospitals, old people's homes, etc.

摘要

The seat (4) is raised and lowered by a hydraulic jack with two pinions and chains which double the height of movement. The seat turns on an axle, with ball bearings, which is off centre and allows the seat to reach the edge of the bath. Two uprights (1), at the end of the bath, form rails on which a carriage moves. This carries two support arms which hold the seat. A retractable protective curved bar, round the seat, has two buttons which control a small hydraulic group that control the movement of the seat.
