Tub cover support device

A tub cover support system including:

• a tub having a bottom wall and a peripheral wall attached to and extending upwardly from the bottom wall, said bottom wall having an interior surface;
• a foot for positioning in said tub on said bottom wall, said foot comprising a suction cup including a panel having a concave outer surface extending to a bottom edge, said panel comprising an elastomeric material, a central portion of said panel having an opening therein extending through said panel;
• a pipe being generally hollow and having an open first end and open second end, said pipe having a length generally between 30 inches and 40 inches, said pipe comprising a plastic material;
• a coupler being attached to said suction cup and removably coupling said pipe to an apex of said outer surface of said suction cup, said coupler including;
• a disc having a tubular member attached to and extending upwardly from a first side of said disc, said tubular member having a diameter substantially equal to an inner diameter of said first end of said pipe;
• a fastener being positioned in an interior of said suction cup and extending upwardly through said opening in said suction cup, said fastener extending through said disc and into said tubular member, said fastener comprising a screw;
• a nut being positioned in said tubular member and being threadably engaged with said fastener;
• a first gasket being positioned between said disc and said suction cup such that said fastener extends through said first gasket, said first gasket comprising an elastomeric material;
• a second gasket being positioned in said suction cup such that said fastener extends through said second gasket, said second gasket comprising an elastomeric material;
• wherein said tubular member is removably extended into said first end of said pipe;
• a support portion being removably coupled to said second end of said pipe, said support portion including;
• a bracket having a first rod attached to a second rod at a generally perpendicular orientation wherein said second rod is positioned between a pair of ends of said first rod such that said bracket generally has a T-shape, said first and second rod each having open free ends, an inner diameter of said free end of said second rod being greater than an outer diameter of said second end of said pipe such that said second end of pipe may be removably extended into said free end of said second rod;
• a pair of bars each being movably extended into one of the ends of said first rod and frictionally engaging said first rod, each of said bars having a length generally between 12 inches and 18 inches;
• a pair of caps each being removably positioned over a free end of one of said pair of bars;
• and
• a tub cover being positioned on a top edge of said peripheral wall and covering an open top side of said tub, a bottom surface of said tub cover abutting said bars such that said tub cover is supported above a central area of a plane of said open top side of said tub.

A tub cover support device for positioning on the bottom wall of a tub, the tub having a peripheral wall extending upwardly from bottom wall, a cover being positioned on a top edge of the peripheral wall and generally covering an open top side of the tub, the device supporting said cover above a central area of a plane of the open top side, said device including:

• a foot for positioning in said tub on said bottom wall;
• a pipe being generally hollow and having an open first end and open second end;
• a coupler being attached to said foot and removably coupling said first end of said pipe to said foot, said coupler including;
• a disc having a tubular member attached thereto and extending upwardly from a first side of said disc, said tubular member being removably extendable into said first end of said pipe;
• a fastener being positioned on an bottom surface of said foot and extending upwardly through an opening in said foot for removably fastening said foot to said disc, said fastener extending through said disc and into said tubular member;
• and
• a support portion being removably coupled to said second end of said pipe, said support portion having a pair of bars extending outwardly horizontally with respect to a vertical orientation of said pipe when said support portion is coupled to said second end of said pipe, wherein said bottom surface of said cover abuts said support portion.
