Description

The Innovation refers to a seat training for bathtubs in the form of a Seat cushion, with the seat the seat cushion is arranged raised and lowered and a lifting movement through a water inlet over a bathtub fitting and the lowering movement adjustable via a drain opening is.

It It is known to arrange seat cushions in bathtubs for boarding and reaching an actual bathing position and getting out if necessary, make it easier to leave the bathtub without outside help. Here, arrangements are provided, with one with a water inlet Providing seat cushion to achieve a lifting effect of the seat and by a water drain lowering is to bring about. It is in the known embodiments of the defect that the security measures for the operation are not sufficiently guaranteed by laymen and also the fill and draining the water causes trouble.

The The object of the innovation is to improve the generic arrangement to carry out with simple means and to create a user-friendly secure arrangement that ensures easy adjustment to the extreme positions.

The solution this object is achieved according to the innovation in that an insert mat has elements as suction elements, can be fixed in the bathtub and the mat an integrated changeable Seat cushion and above the seat of the seat cushion, the insert mat a connection formed with the interior of the seat cushion as an air and overflow opening is and through a connection for the water inlet and optionally in addition a separate connection with a outlet valve forms a controllable discharge opening.

Around a versatile basic structure in adaptation to the existing bathtub tap to enable It is suggested that the Seat cushion in the area of its outsides Connection openings for one Water inlet and a connection for a recording an exhaust valve having.

Further It is suggested that the seat the seat cushion is profiled.

A simple training is created by the fact that in the insert mat the connection to Interior of the seat cushion as air and overflow opening through at least one Hose element is formed.

In the drawing is an embodiment of Innovation shown schematically. Show it:

1 a plan view of a bathtub with arranged insert mat;

2 a side view according to 1 with a padded seat cushion;

3 an enlarged view of the insert mat in side view with padded seat cushion;

Furthermore, with the interior of the seat cushion 4 hoses 11 connected in the mat 2 are guided and in the padded state of the seat cushion 4 above the seat 5 outlet openings 12 form as air and overflow openings.

By this design, it is possible, a lifting effect of the seat 5 of the seat cushion 4 according to the requirements. It is doing over the water hose 8th the interior of the seat cushion 4 filled with water, with an overfill and a pressure build-up on the overhead outlet openings 12 the hoses 11 is prevented.

Lowering the seat 5 of the seat cushion 4 via the outlet valve 10 , wherein the drain over the outlet opening 12 the hoses 11 is facilitated and thus the flat original position is adjustable again.
