Definitions

  • This invention relates to a support for babies and infants in adult baths.
  • Such devices are desirable for parents of young children who can sit up unaided but benefit from support so that the parent does not have to provide such support themselves, which is frequently a strain on the back. If the parent has any weakness in their back, then a bath support for their baby is very desirable. In any event, for the large majority of users, such devices are useful in helping them bathe their children.
  • US-A-5158460 and US-A-5687433 both disclose a typical kind of baby support and this comprises a frame having a seat portion, back portion, side arms and front restraint, and crotch piece extending between the seat portion and front restraint.
  • Suckers depend from the base of the seat to be secured to the bath base. On the face of it, these arrangements look very secure, and they are, provided that the suckers remain securely adhered to the bath base.
  • baths come in many different shapes and sizes and sometimes the suckers do not stay firmly connected and gradually lose their grip. One reason for this is that they do not adapt to the shape of the bath. Then a child has the opportunity of toppling over in the frame, which might have the effect of securely holding the unfortunate baby under water. In the absence of supervision this can have tragic consequences.
  • Bath mats comprising a rubber or rubber-like material having a multiplicity of suckers on one side and a non-slip surface on the other.
  • WO-A-98/05249 discloses a bathtub seat apparatus, to prevent a person slipping down a bath when their back is supported by one end of the bath.
  • the apparatus has a generally thin, flat back section upon which the person sits when the apparatus is supported on the bottom surface of the bathtub, a raised front section having a thickness substantially greater than the thickness of the back section and adequate to support all or part of the legs of the person, the front section having a cavity in the undersurface thereof, a gradually sloping transition area between the back and front sections, and a plurality of suction cups coupled to the front section and positioned within the cavity for releasably securing the apparatus to the bottom surface of the bathtub such that the apparatus is prevented from sliding in relation to the surface while a person is seated on the apparatus.
  • this is not a baby support.
  • a bath support for a person comprising a support component having a base part adapted to be sat upon by the person when the bath support is located in a bath, and a support part upstanding from the base part and adapted to limit movement of the person seated on the base part, and a securing component in the form of a flexible non-slip mat adapted to surround the support part and cover and overlap the base part so as to contact the bath when the bath support is located therein and secure the support component in position in the bath.
  • the securing component either completely covers the base part or overlaps it around its entire periphery.
  • the support component and the securing component are separate components of the bath support, this is not absolutely essential. What is essential is that the securing component is flexible so that it can mould to the shape of the bath in which it is placed, regardless of the particular contours of the bath (although bearing in mind the nature of normal baths excludes excessively folded shapes), whereas the support component, or at least the support part of the support component, has a certain rigidity so that it can effect the purpose of supporting the person in the bath. While it is feasible that such contrary characteristics can be provided by a single component bath support of the type defined herein, it is preferred that the two components are separate structures.
  • said securing component is made of a elastomeric polymer such as phthalate compliant PVC.
  • said support component is made from a rigid plastics material such as polypropylene or polyethylene.
  • said mat has an aperture through which said support part extends.
  • said support part is arcuate in plan and adapted to support at least the back of a person seated on the base part.
  • said support part further comprises a bulbous section adapted to form a crotch support for the person.
  • said bulbous section is located near the centre of curvature of said arcuate back support.
  • said mat includes a second aperture to receive said bulbous section.
  • Said bulbous section may further comprise a T-bar adapted to inhibit the person supported from toppling forward headfirst into the bath water.
  • said mat is resiliently flexible. Preferably, it overlaps said base part by a similar amount around the entire periphery of the base part. Alternatively, it is elongate in outline corresponding with the typical shape of the bases of bath tubs.
  • at least one side of the mat around at least where said mat overlaps the base part is provided with a plurality of suckers by means of which the mat may adhere to a bath tub surface.
  • said suckers are integrally moulded on said mat.
  • said mat has a non-slip surface, at least on the side of the mat remote from said suckers and at least on a part thereof above said base when located thereon. Said non-slip surface may be provided by irregularities in the surface of the mat.
  • Figures 1a to d are respectively: a perspective view of a bath support in accordance with the present invention in an assembled condition; the same view with a baby seated thereon; a perspective view of a securing component of the bath support; and, a perspective view of the support component; and Figures 2a to d are similar views of an alternative embodiment.
  • a bath support 10 comprises a securing component 12 and a support component 14.
  • the securing component 12 is elongate in plan, and somewhat rectangular to correspond with the typical dimensions of a bath tub (not shown).
  • Securing component 12 is a mat 16 of rubber or rubber-like elastomeric material, such as phthalate-compliant polyvinyl chloride (PVC), having, on a top surface 18, a non-slip surface. Rubber or similar material is already relatively non-slip, even under water. However, additional friction-inducing elements may be formed on the surface 18, such as for example knobs 20.
  • PVC polyvinyl chloride
  • the mat 16 On its under surface (not shown) the mat 16 is provided with a plurality of small suckers so that when the mat is pressed onto the base of a typical bath, some or many of the suckers grip the bath in a known manner, securing the mat 16 in position in the bath.
  • the support component 14 comprises a plastics moulding having a base part 30 and a back support part 32, upstanding from the, essentially flat, base part 30.
  • the upstanding back support part 32 is arcuate in plan and is optionally hollow, possibly with internal supporting ribs between front and back walls. If constructed from a plastics material such polypropylene or polyethylene, it is likely to be hollow, whereas if it is constructed from a less dense material such as polyurethane or polystyrene, it may be solid. Indeed, it may comprise a combination of materials.
  • a front, bulbous support 34 is provided at or near the centre of curvature of the back support 32 . This has a top T-bar 36, which may be a separate moulding connected to the front support 34.
  • the mat 16 is provided with two apertures 42, 44, aperture 42 being arcuate in shape to correspond with the plan of back support 32, and aperture 44 being the same as the plan section of the bulbous support 34.
  • the mat 16 is fitted over the bulbous support 34 and back support 32 and the assembled bath support 10 is then located in a bath.
  • the suckers on the underside of the mat 16, beyond the perimeter of the base 30, are able to adhere to the bath and accordingly, the securing component 12 locates the support component 14 securely in the bath.
  • An infant 40 is shown seated on the bath support 10 between the back support 32 and bulbous support 34. It is to be noted that the legs 46 of the infant are arranged on either side of the bulbous support 34 so that, should the infant 40 lean backwardly against the support 32 and his or her bottom should slip on the mat 16 (which is resisted, of course by the non-slip surface features 20), the bulbous support 34 prevents further forward slipping.
  • the T-bar 36 acts as a front, abdomen support for the infant, preventing forward toppling headfirst into the water. Be that as it may, the bath support 10 is not intended to be employed by an infant 40 without parental supervision. However, the mat 16 does prevent the support from slipping, which is a major hazard with prior art arrangements when they are secured by only one or two suckers.
  • non-slip bumps 20 may be over the entire surface of the mat 16 or be restricted to areas 16a, b where children will be seated.
  • bath support 10' differs from the bath support of figure 1 in that the bulbous support 34' here does not have the T-bar 36 of figure 1 (although it could have, of course; just as the arrangement of figure 1 may be preferred without one). Furthermore, mat 16' is here much reduced in plan area only overlapping base 30 by sufficient to ensure good adherence of the suckers (not shown) on the underside of the mat 16'. Otherwise, the bath support is the same with the back support 32 being the same and surface features 20 providing similar non-slip surface to the mat 16'.
