Abstract:
A bathing chair assembly that allows access to genital and perianal regions of a bather includes a seat. A plurality of legs is coupled to and extends substantially perpendicularly from a bottom of the seat. The legs are configured to support the seat substantially parallel to a substantially horizontal surface, positioning the seat to support the bather. A backrest that is coupled to and extends from a rear edge of the seat is configured to support a back of the bather who is positioned on the seat. A void that is centrally positioned in the seat is configured to allow a user access to the genital and perianal regions of the bather.

Claim (Index 6):
A bathing chair assembly comprising:\n a seat, the seat being substantially rectangularly shaped, the seat comprising a pair of plates, each plate extending from the rear edge to a front edge along a respective opposing side edge of the seat, the plates defining a gap positioned substantially equally distant from the opposing side edges of the seat, the void comprising the gap defined by the first plate and the second plate; a plurality of legs coupled to and extending substantially perpendicularly from a bottom of the seat wherein the legs are configured for supporting the seat substantially parallel to a substantially horizontal surface positioning the seat for supporting a bather, each of the legs being circularly shaped when viewed longitudinally, each leg comprising a plurality of nested sections such that the leg is selectively extensible, the plurality of nested sections comprising an upper section selectively extensible from a lower section; a backrest coupled to and extending from a rear edge of the seat wherein the backrest is configured for supporting a back of the bather positioned on the seat; a void centrally positioned in the seat wherein the void is configured for allowing a user access to genital and perianal regions of a bather positioned on the seat; a plurality of first couplers, each first coupler being coupled to the upper section of a respective leg proximate to a lower terminus of the upper section; and a plurality of second couplers, each second coupler being coupled to the lower section of a respective leg, the second couplers being complementary to the first couplers wherein each second coupler is positioned for selectively coupling to an associated first coupler for coupling the lower section to the upper section for fixedly positioning the lower section relative to the upper section.
