Abstract
Abstract A rectangularly shaped container having a cover to permit access to its interior which, in turn, has partitions dividing the same into at least one section adapted to hold water, while the other sections thereof are adapted to store toilet articles and the like. A bracket support fixedly attached to a wall paralleling the longitudinal axis of a bathtub is provided with means for pivotally mounting a bracket adapted for movement between a first position wherein the bracket parallels the wall and a second position wherein the bracket extends outwardly from the wall and transversely of the longitudinal axis of the bathtub. The container is carried at the extended other end of the bracket in such a manner that the container is rotatable with respect to the bracket support so that the open face of the container may be rotated between a horizontal position permitting access therein and a vertical position permitting movement of the bracket member to a position parallel to the wall. Means are provided for selectively locking the container in a selected position.
