Description
HAND41 as filed 02.12.08.doc
I
Bath platform This invention relates to a bath platform or seat of the type used as a removable support for persons when bathing or when entering or leaving a bath.
It is know to provide a simple board spanning a bath and resting on each side of the bath. However such boards tend to move around when a person is seated thereon or a person is climbing into or out of a bath. To overcome this, one commercially available board has a clamp on its under-surface, which is expandable inside the bath and thus holds the board in place by means of friction pads pushing out on each side of the bath. The disadvantage with such a fixing system is that if the bath is not rigid, the clamp tends to slip, especially when wet. Furthermore, curved surfaces in many baths make securing a bath board in place difficult, particularly when it is desired to position a board at one end of a bath where curvature is more acute and the expanding action of known clamps is ineffective.
Positioning of the board in the correct location, quickly and easily is often important, for example, a visually impaired person would need to have the platform in the same place each time it was used so they can easily locate their bath consumables or accessories.
Such boards are often positioned by the elderly, infirm, or those with limited dexterity. Thus a fixing means which is simple and quick to use is very important.
HAND.41 as flied 02.12.08.doc The inventor has observed that a better means of holding the bath board in its place is required and has conceived embodiments which address at least the problems mentioned above.
According to a first aspect the invention provides a removable bath platform supportable on or in a bath, the platform including: a seat area; a pair of suction cups engageable by means of suction with a side or sides of the bath for holding the seat area in place in or on the bath; and a mechanical connection between the seat area and each of the cups for allowing positional adjustment of one or both said cups relative to the seat area, said positional adjustment including rotation of one or both cups in one or more axes, and adjustment of the spacing between the cups, and the mechanical connection being lockable to inhibit or prevent said rotation of one or both cups in said one or more axes and/or said spacing.
In that way an embodiment of the invention allows positional adjustment of suction cups to accommodate bath sides of different shapes and when the suction cups are in place on the bath, the mechanical connection can be used to inhibit or prevent further movement of the cups relative to the seat area and thereby hold the platform in place in or on the bath.
Preferably the suction cup is operable by means of a lever to provide said suction, and preferably also, the mechanical connection includes one or more lever operated cam locks which lock and unlock the mechanical connection to provide said locking and unlocking of the connection.
HAND.41 as filed 02.12.08.doc Thus in an embodiment the platform can be positioned exactly where required and stuck' in place by the mere operation of a lever associated with the or each cup and the lever(s) of the mechanical connection.
In an embodiment the or each suction cup is mounted to the mechanical connection by a first pivot and the mechanical connection is mounted to the seat area by a second pivot, each pivot providing rotational adjustment in an axis.
Preferably the first and second pivots have respective pivot axes which are substantially perpendicular. More preferably, said first pivot axis is substantially horizontal, and said second pivot axis is substantially vertical in use.
Conveniently, the vertical position of the second pivot axis is adjustable along the seat area to provide said adjustment of the spacing of the cups. In a preferred embodiment, the second pivot is lockable against rotation and spacing movement by said lever(s), whereas the first pivot remains free to rotate in use.
Thus when rotation of the cups in the second axis and the adjustable spacing of the cups is inhibited or prevented by the locking of the mechanical connection, the suction cups may be still free to pivot in said first axis, and the bath platform will still be held in place even when wet. The platform may be held more firmly to the bath by a wedge effect where a bath with tapered sides is used.
The invention extends to a removable bath platform having a seat area holdable in place across the top of a bath in use by means of one or more movable suction cups.
It is preferred that the or each suction cup is operated to produce a suction by means a lever.
HAND.41 as filed 02.12.08.doc The invention extends to any novel feature described herein, or any novel combination of features described herein, whether or not such a combination is explicitly mentioned herein.
Although the invention can be put into effect in various ways, one embodiment only is described in detail below, with reference to the drawings wherein: Figure 1 shows a pictorial view of a bath platform; Figure 2 shows a plan view of the platform shown in Figure 1; and Figure 3 shows a section of the platform shown in Figure 2.
Referring to Figure 1 there is shown generally a bath platform 10 (also known as a bath board, which includes a seat area 12 having an upper surface 14 on which a person can sit or otherwise support themselves when bathing or showering, or when entering or leaving a bath or shower.
The seat area 12 has a generally rounded shape and includes rounded channels 16 to allow water to drain away. The upper surface 14 includes a recess 18 which can be used to hold soap and the like.
The seat area 12 is held in place in use by means of two suction cups 20 which in use are removably fixable to the sides of a bath, as explained in more detail below.
Referring to Figure 2 a portion of a conventional bath 1 is shown, having inner sides 2. Platform 10 is shown positioned ready for use spanning the sides of the bath 2. In this view the drain holes 17 (only one of which is referenced) can be seen in the channels 16 to assist drainage. Also, it can be seen that one HAND.41 as filed 02.12.08.doc end 15 of the platform is wider than its opposing end, to assist persons getting into and out of the bath.
Figure 3 shows a section of the platform 10 along the line A-A shown in Figure 2. In this view, it can be seen that the two suction cups 20 are each mechanically connected to the seating area 12 by means of a bracket 30. Each bracket is slideably and pivotably held to the seating area 12 by means of a pin 34 which is slideable within a groove 19 in the seating area 12. Each bracket 30 can rotate on the pin 34 and the bracket is lockable in position relative to the seating area 12 by means of a cam lock operated by fever 32 which draws pin 34 and bracket 30 together to frictionally hold the pin and bracket in place against the seat area 12. Thus, it can be seen that the bracket 30 is adjustably slideable in the x direction shown and rotatable about axis 36 in the R direction.
Cups 20 are each formed from an elastomenc concavity 24 which can be pulled at its centre by the action of lever 22. This creates a suction in the concavity when the lip of the concavity is held against a smooth surface such as bath sides 2. Each cup assembly is pivotable about an axis 38 which extends perpendicular to the plane of the paper.
In use, the bath platform 10 is placed across the top of a bath and the brackets 30 are adjusted in the x and R directions so that the cups 20 are adjacent sides 2 of the bath 1. The cups can be pivoted, within the limitations imposed by the shape of the brackets 30, in the direction of arrows r so that they come up against sides of the bath. Once they are touching the bath sides 2, the suction cups can be held in place on the sides of the bath by the operation of IIANO.41 as filed 02.12.08.doc levers 22. Once this has taken place the levers 32 can lock the brackets 30 in place relative to the seating area 12.
Thus, a very simple, and quick method of fixing the bath platform 10 to a bath can be achieved with the arrangement described above. Release of the platform merely involves release of the levers 32 and 22. The platform 10 can be secured to the bath even at a curved end of the bath by suitable adjustment of the cups.
Whilst the invention has been described with reference to the drawings, it will be apparent to the skilled addressee that many alternatives, variants and modifications will be possible within the scope of the invention. For example, the mechanical connection between the suction cups 20 and seating area 12 can be replaced by an equivalent mechanism which need not be locked in place by levers, but could use for example, threaded locking means.
It is preferred that the components of the bath platform 10 are manufactured from moulded plastics, for example fibre reinforced polyamide or nylon, it will be understood that other materials could be used.
