Shower stool

Abstract

A stool adapted for use in a shower is disclosed, having a triangular platform and three legs depending from the platform. A receptacle having a hinged, movable cover and adapted to hold a razor is located on the top surface of the platform. The legs are spaced inwardly from the edges of the platform to avoid intrusions from the shower wall. The stool is constructed of a light-permeable material and contains indicia which is visible from outside the platform.

       2 . The stool of  claim 1 , wherein the cover is movably attached to the platform via a hinge mechanism.  
   
   
       3 . The stool of  claim 1 , wherein the receptacle includes a drainage means for permitting water to drain through the receptacle.  
   
   
       4 . The stool of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of support legs depending from the platform.  
   
   
       5 . The stool of  claim 1 , further comprising a second receptacle having a cylindrical shape adapted to hold a cylindrically-shaped container and having an opening located on the top surface of the platform.  
   
   
       6 . The stool of  claim 5 , wherein the second receptacle includes a drainage means for permitting water to drain through the receptacle.  
   
   
       7 . A stool adapted for use in a shower comprising: 
 a triangular platform having a top surface and a bottom surface, three corners, and three edges;    a first leg depending from the platform proximate a first of the three corners and spaced inwardly from any of the three edges, the first leg adapted to avoid contact with shower wall intrusions;    a second leg depending from the platform proximate a second of the three corners and spaced inwardly from any of the three edges, the second leg adapted to avoid contact with shower wall intrusions; and    a third leg depending from the platform proximate a third of the three corners.    
   
   
       8 . The stool of  claim 7 , wherein the third leg is spaced inwardly from any of the three edges, the third leg adapted to avoid contact with shower wall intrusions.  
   
   
       9 . The stool of  claim 7 , further comprising a step extending between the first leg and the second leg, the step located below the bottom surface of the platform.  
   
   
       10 . The stool of  claim 7 , further comprising a second step extending between the first leg and the second leg, the step located below the first step.  
   
   
       11 . The stool of  claim 7 , wherein the third leg is longer than the first leg and the second leg and the platform is not parallel to a base surface upon which the first, second, and third legs rest.  
   
   
       12 . The stool of  claim 7 , wherein the first and second legs are of equal length.  
   
   
       13 . A stool adapted for use in a shower comprising: 
 a platform constructed of a light-permeable material;    a step surface located on the platform; and    a plurality of legs depending from the platform.    
   
   
       14 . The stool of  claim 13 , further comprising indicia located within the platform and visible from outside the platform.  
   
   
       15 . The stool of  claim 14 , wherein the indicia are substantially two-dimensional.  
   
   
       16 . The stool of  claim 14 , wherein the indicia are three-dimensional.  
   
   
       17 . The stool of  claim 13 , wherein the light-permeable material is acrylic.
