Benefits of technology

"The patent text describes a baby bathtub supporter and system that can hold a baby bathtub above a basin. The supporter includes a board with a stopper that contacts the inner surface of the basin. The system also includes a baby bathtub and a basin. The board is placed on the basin and the baby bathtub is placed on top of the board. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a convenient and safe way to hold a baby bathtub while bathing them."

Problems solved by technology

While infant bathing trays, or bathtubs, are designed to fit on a flat surface, these products are not designed to fit on top of a sink or regular bathtub, but must be placed inside the bathtub or sink, resting on the bottom of the bathtub or sink.
Bending over can put undue strain on the individual's back.
