Abstract

The device comprises a track made up of two spaced rails adapted to extend across a bath. The spacing of the rails is fixed. There are stops on the underside of the track to contact the upper, inner sides of the bath to hold the track in place in the bath. A seat has wheels to engage the rails to enable the seat to reciprocate across the bath. There is a brake operable to hold the seat in a predetermined position on the track. The device is easily assembled and dismantled, easily used and simple in structure.
