Abstract

With reference to the figure, a bath (1) for use by a physically handicapped person comprises a bath tub (2) provided with a peripheral rim (3) and apparatus (4) for assisting the person into and out of the bath tub (2). The apparatus (4) comprises a telescopic column (5) having a stationary outer part (6) disposed beneath the rim (3) and an inner part (7) movable relative to the outer part (6), within an aperture (8) formed in the rim (3). In addition, the apparatus (4) comprises a seat unit (15) demountably connectable to the movable inner part (7) of the telescopic column (5), and formed by a seat (16) and a seat support arm (17), one end of which is demountably connectable to the movable inner part (7). The arrangement is such that, with the seat unit (15) disconnected from the movable inner part (7), the inner part can be retracted to an unobtrusive position, substantially at the level of the rim (3), where the aperture (8) can then be closed by a cap (20), so as to cover the retracted inner part (7). Also disclosed is a hydraulic pressure intensifier (110) for operating a hydraulic (101), such as the telescopic column (5) of the bath (1) as well as a pneumatic plug (200) and socket connector (210) which may be used in a pneumatic control system adapted to operate a bath hoist (4) comprising a movable seat unit (15). <IMAGE>
