Abstract

A bathtub elevator consists of a floor frame, two tonglike guiding linkages, a lifting plate and two flexible lifting tubes, which are adapted to be filled with water under pressure. By means of a manually controllable valve, the flexible lifting tubes can be selectively connected to a supply line or to a drain line and can be shut off from both lines. An adjustable automatic elevation-limiting apparatus comprises a shutoff valve, which is incorporated in the supply line and actuated by means of a U-shaped member, which is displaced by the displaceable ends of the guiding linkage when the desired maximum elevation, which corresponds to the height of the bathtub, has been reached.
