Abstract
A side entry tub includes a stationary section and a movable section with a mechanism of pivoting the movable section away from the stationary section to form an opening for entry and back to the stationary section to form an enclosure for bathing. During pivoting, the movable portion is separated from the stationary section to avoid damage and excessive wear on sealing gaskets.
