Abstract

To increase the inside space of a bathtub and to increase its usefulness with only a small space requirement, it is proposed that the front external wall part (8) is of curved construction with a straight rear longitudinal side wall (4). Such an approximately semicircular contour results in good utilisation of the space and the additional possibility of providing a seat surface (11) towards the room. <IMAGE>
