Claim:
A shower corner seat assembly comprising a seat plate; a seat plate supporting bracket frame; frame interconnection means; and frame-to-wall attachment means; the seat plate comprising opposing upper and lower surfaces of equilateral right triangle configuration wherein the right-angled apex is removed, truncating the triangularity to confer upon the plate trapezoidal configuration, comprising about its circumference a proximal edge, a distal edge and angularly opposing wall abutment edges; and further comprising an upper surface and a lower surface; the seat plate supporting bracket frame comprising an elongated transverse extension and opposing elongated wall attachment limbs; the transverse extension comprising opposing ends, a frontal surface, an upper surface; a lower surface; and opposing posterior corners; each wall attachment limb comprising a proximal end, a distal end, an upper surface, a lower surface and an inner proximal corner; the proximal end of each wall attachment limb angularly attached to a respective end of the transverse extension, conferring upon the bracket frame a straight-segmented angularly altered “U” shape closely matching, with exception hereinafter set forth, the circumference of the seat plate in size and configuration wherein the length and angularity of the transverse extension of the bracket frame generally matches the length and angularity of the proximal edge of the seat plate; and the lengths of the wall attachment limbs of the bracket frame generally match those of the respective wall abutment edges of the seat plate with exception nevertheless, that their distal ends be disposed slightly farther inward toward one another; the shower corner seat assembly further comprising frame interconnection means by which each wall attachment limb's proximal end is attached to a respective end of the transverse extension; the shower corner seat assembly further comprising frame-to-wall attachment means; the wall attachment limbs comprising composition and configuration to permit their distal ends to be spring-tensioned outward from their slight inward disposition upon attachment to the adjoining walls of a walk-in shower corner, wherein a snug fit is assured irrespective of any out-of-square configuration the wall corner might comprise; the seat plate disposed in attachment to overlie the seat plate supporting bracket frame in a manner disposing its wall abutment edges tightly against the respective walls; whereby an operator may undertake a shower in seated posture upon the seat.
