Abstract

A tub table for erectly supporting an open book on a bathtub. The Tub Table has a planar member adapted to slide on the top side portion of the bath tub which has a length extending generally across the width of the bathtub, and a lateral trough extending across a central front portion thereof adapted to erectly support the open book. In the preferred embodiment the Tub Table is molded from plastic and has a peripheral top rim in which handles are formed therein on opposite ends. Two curved ridges adapted to extend below the top rim of the bathtub and maintain the tub table on the tub when it is slid therealong, extend downwardly from the bottom side portion of the tub table. The curved ridges may have feet on opposite ends to support the Tub Table on a supporting surface when it is not positioned on the bathtub.
