A bath seat comprising:
- a top and a pair of centrally disposed and spaced-apart drainage holes in communication with the top, the top including a channel extending between the drainage holes, the channel having an enlarged first end, an enlarged second end and a connecting portion connecting the ends of the channel together, whereby fluid entering into the channel is directed to the drainage holes and thereby drains from the seat.
A bath seat comprising:
- a top, a front end, and a back end opposite thereof, the top extending between the front end and the back end, the top including a centrally disposed channel, the channel having an enlarged first end, a second end opposite thereof, the second end being smaller than the first end, and a connecting portion connecting the ends of the channel together, the second end of the channel aligning with one of the front end and the back end of the seat, whereby fluid entering into the channel is directed to the second end of the channel, past said one of the front end and the back end of the seat and thereby drains from the seat.
A bath chair comprising:
- a seat having a top, a bottom opposite the top, a front end, a back end, and a pair of spaced-apart sides, the top and the bottom extending between the sides and extending between the front end and the back end of the seat, the seat including a pair of centrally disposed and spaced-apart drainage holes extending through the seat from the top to the bottom, the drainage holes being disposed midway along the seat between the sides of the seat and being disposed adjacent to respective ones of the front end and the back end, the top including a channel extending between the drainage holes, the seat having a concave curvature with the sides of the seat being elevated relative to the channel, the channel having a rounded first end, a rounded second end and a connecting portion connecting the ends of the channel together, the ends of the channel being partially spherical, and being more recessed and wider than the connecting portion, the connecting portion being u-shaped between the front end and the back end of the seat and being more spherical in shape and more recessed towards the ends of the channel, and the connecting portion and the ends of the channel being more recessed midway between the sides of the seat;
- a plurality of legs for supporting the chair, the legs connecting to and extending from the bottom of the seat;
- and
- a back for supporting a user's back, the back of the chair extending from and operatively connecting to the back end of the seat,
