Abstract
A system may include one or more of a tub that provides tub access to a seated user and includes a top surface, a bottom surface, and a concave well therebetween, a platform that includes water openings extending therethrough, a lift, coupled to a bottom surface of the platform, the lift disposed within the tub and configured to lower the platform within the well, and a plurality of jets around an inner periphery of the well, configured to apply a liquid cleaning solution within the tub in response to the lift and the platform are in a raised position and water has been drained from the well.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a tub that provides tub access to a seated user and includes a top surface, a bottom surface, and a concave well therebetween;
- a platform that includes water openings extending therethrough;
- a lift, coupled to a bottom surface of the platform, the lift disposed within the tub and configured to lower the platform within the well;
- and
- a plurality of jets around an inner periphery of the well, configured to apply a liquid cleaning solution within the tub in response to the lift and the platform are in a raised position and water has been drained from the well.
A system, comprising:
- a tub, configured to hold water, the tub comprising:
- top and bottom surfaces;
- a concave well, affixed and conforming to an opening at the top surface;
- and
- a drain, disposed in proximity to the bottom surface, configured to retain water within the well when closed and allow water to drain from the well when opened;
- a platform, configured to fit within the opening when in a raised position;
- a lift, affixed to an underside of the platform, configured to raise the platform to the raised position and lower the platform within the well;
- and
- a plurality of jets around an inner periphery of the well, configured to apply a liquid cleaning solution within the well in response to the lift and the platform are in the raised position and water has been drained from the well.
A method, comprising:
- receiving a cleaning control activation, and in response:
- draining water within a well of a tub, in response to the drain is closed;
- raising, by a lift coupled to a platform within the tub, the platform to a raised position in response to the platform is not in the raised position, the raised position being coplanar with a top surface of the tub;
- and in response:
- applying, by a plurality of jets around an inner periphery of the well, a liquid cleaning solution within the tub.
