Abstract
This invention relates to a compact bath-chair support comprising a frame having a flat bottom surface for resting on top of a side of a bath. The frame has along a first side, at least one jaw downwardly extending, and fixedly or slidably mounted, onto that frame, above a plane containing the flat bottom surface. At least one downwardly extending jaw is slidably mounted on the side opposite the first side, and above that plane containing the flat bottom surface. A screw or other clamps, is positioned above the plane containing the bottom surface, and connected to the jaws that are slidably mounted, for the jaws of one side to move toward and away from, the jaws on the other side, so as to act as a vise, to securely hold the side of a bath near the top. The frame has above the bottom surface, at least one receptacle for receiving the shaft of a chair. Thus the weights of and on a chair and of that frame, are transferred onto the top of the side of a bath, and the jaws releasably hold the side of a bath near the top in order to maintain the flat bottom surface against that top.
