Abstract
A foot rest comprising an elongated body portion presenting opposed ends having a general cross-sectional shape of a right-angle triangle for placement in a corner of a shower stall such that the hypotenuse of the triangular cross section forms a front wall of the body portion is disclosed. One of the opposed ends forms an endmost bottom section for resting on a floor of a shower stall, the bottom section generally conforming to the slope of the shower stall floor such that the body portion generally stands perpendicular to horizontal when placed in the stall. The other opposed end forms a generally planar top section for allowing a user to rest a foot thereon.
Claims6
A foot rest comprising:
- an elongated generally triangular shaped body portion, said body portion being formed by two connected back walls which together form a right angle and a front wall connected to each of the two back walls forming a hypotenuse of said body portion;
- a bottommost generally triangular shaped section integral to said body portion and flush with respect to said back walls, said bottommost section sloping downwardly from said right angle to said front wall at essentially the same slope as a floor of a shower stall such that said back walls are generally parallel to walls of a shower stall when said foot rest is placed in a corner of the shower stall;
- a topmost generally triangular shaped, essentially planar section integral to said body portion and flush with respect to said back walls and extending beyond said front wall, said planar section sloping downwardly from said right angle to said front wall for providing a user with a foot rest while taking a shower;
- and
- a pair of integral shelf units formed within said body portion and accessible through corresponding apertures defined within each of said back walls for storage of supplies in said shelf units.
