Abstract
An apron assembly for a bathing fixture which allows access to equipment placed behind it without requiring any additional hardware and cost to the bathtub and affords precise alignment of the apron assembly with the rim of the bathing fixture. In a preferred manner, a bolt is threaded to a metal brace member on a frame which has access openings adjacent the bolt for adjustment purposes. The bolt acts as an adjustable brace. A panel member is easily attached to and removed from the frame member.
