Abstract:

A portable rubber bathtub seat apparatus for comfortably preventing a person from sliding down when in a seated position within a bathtub, the apparatus being supported by the bottom surface of the bathtub. The apparatus has a generally thin, flat back section upon which the person sits when the apparatus is supported on the bottom surface of the bathtub, a raised front section having a thickness substantially greater than the thickness of the back section and adequate to support all or part of the legs of the person, the front section having a cavity in the undersurface thereof, a gradually sloping transition area between the back and front sections, and a plurality of suction cups coupled to the front section and positioned within the cavity for releasably securing the apparatus to the bottom surface of the bathtub such that the apparatus is prevented from sliding in relation to the surface while a person is seated on the apparatus. The apparatus may also be designed and used for other applications, such as for children's high chairs and other seat structures.
