Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9528117A1] A wall for a bath (2), including at least one liftable panel (4) pivotably mounted on a frame, and a spring (20) for assisting lifting of the panel (4). Said wall is provided with portions (24, 26, 28, 30) for deflecting the force of the spring (20) from its point of engagement with the panel (12) to an abutment (26) on the frame (10) when the wall is lowered onto the rim of the shower tray. The deflecting portions include opposed sloping bearing surfaces (28, 30) for dividing the force (1, 3) imparted by the user to cause translation of the wall into a vertical thrust moving the wall and a thrust acting perpendicularly to the spring (20) to move said spring (20) in the transverse direction.
