Household S & Fitness Safety Bathtub

This inventive development on the bathtub justifies the above designation because the arrangements are not only for previous bathing, but also for maximum safety, for gymnastic exercises, therapies, wet and dry have been"

First, however, it will be examined how developments in the bathtub sector have gone so far.

In the past, the water had to be scooped out of the bath tubs that were initially galvanized.

The water drain valve was assigned to keep the water with Eohr connection to derive. Overflow valves were also created.

Then came cast-iron bathtubs, enamelled inside, with a clean, beautiful appearance »

But lighter sheet steel bathtubs, enamelled inside and out, were also made for even better viewing. Recently, it has become fashionable to use the so-called built-in tubs, which are also enamelled on the inside and flowed in on the outside will.

The focus was almost always only on beauties, but not the sufficient safety in dealing with the bathtub created.

What else has been done can be found in the deep inside of the tub on the left and right. only a small handle on the right. But this is difficult reachable, not at all from everywhere and works in the Ianeren constricting and disruptive.

Or m a n * has vorgebaut to the bath outside a high entry rod but also not be taken by each layer of.

Both of the latter aid measures do not satisfy the wishes of the bathtub user. Also do not offer the possibility to use the bathtub for fitness purposes, therapy, gymnastic exercises and the like, because my instructions for this were still missing.
On the contrary, the developed beauties alone solved so ^ ar

created dangers from * NöjnliGh that the smooth enamelled Surfaces are much easier to slip in the bathtub. Likewise, the enamelled top offer smooth end bulges or surfaces no hold to hold, not at all with wet hands. Also, the large tiled bead surfaces cannot be spanned at all, to find a hold

Attaching a bracket to the wall, for example, as it was 100 years ago, no longer serves a desired purpose. That is why it is not uncommon to find strange situations when predominantly elderly people, disabled people and the like. out of fear even ropes Use on the ceiling or doors to stop, hold on and get out. Fall accidents, severe injuries and fatal outcomes, even by drowning, are unfortunately still announced by the thousands every year.

After all ^one of the conditions it is tkbsächlich so that the defczeitige tub dominates the man who held that man must dominate the bathtub.

The invention, however, grants that the bathtub user Fearlessness is taken away, so the safety equipment you can expect when boarding, disembarking and within The bathtub can be held on and held in any position. And these latter options now make it possible to use the household bathtub in a completely new way also for physical air-water alternation training activities, for carrying out water-movement therapies that are beneficial to health, for interactions between air and underwater exercise, Diving up and down in water, for physical and spiritual Vitality, general well-being, exercise / relaxation, Blood circulation, nourishing water massage, strengthening dfcr Muscles, supple and resilient skin, as well. Exercises and stretching for the spine and internal organs in water or dry, to use and so versatile to serve.

If now according to the invention, in the area of every occurring interior, entry and exit position for the greatest security to everywhere Stopping and holding onto a safety perimeter railing the upper edge of the bathtub is fitted with interlocking bars and with Gasket and stainless screws are attached, so should

this is best done with the bathtub manufacturer. Of course, an additional attachment for old bathtubs is reserved.

These all-round safety railings with holding-engagement bars in certain length and height distances can be enamelled from cast, chrome-plated, light metal version or the like. You can also use bars as simultaneous mounting brackets be fixed or slidable on the pipe, for example, in order to easily adapt to the tub holes. It can but other brackets can also be selected, some of which are permanently attached to the bathtub and some of which only the railing is removable is- · Incidentally, the all-round safety railing can be made from the whole, 2-part or 5-part, with sliding Hold to achieve simplifications.

The invention can also be carried out in such a way to the bathtub in their effect as a "household and pitting safety bathtub" to designate that instead of the explained safety all-round railing, by changing or adding to the upper part the bathtub, for example engagement slots, elevations or the like. Also stop and hold possibilities result.

Incidentally, these can be used to hold many brackets on both sides not only symmetrical, but also asymmetrical healing movement exercises be performed.

This invention is illustrated with some embodiments illustrated «

Fig.1 shows in perspective angled view of a common household bathtub 1, with one-piece safety all-round railing 2 placed in the area of movement. On the pipe railing 2 there are fixed or displaceable webs 5 generally around reasonable distances. This results in the hand-engaging spaces 4, the hands sliding against the web as a resistance to the counter-pressure of gymnastic exercises when the tube is spanning, which are used for symmetrical or asymmetrical exercises. These webs 3 also served at the same time for fastening with sealing
