BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

CROSS- REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001 ] The present PCT patent application claims priority benefit of the U.S. Utility Patent Application No.15/622,208 filed on June 14, 2017 and entitled "NURSE'S AID MEDICAL CART" under 35 USC 1 1 1 (a). The contents of this related Utility application are incorporated herein by reference for all purposes to the extent that such subject matter is not inconsistent herewith or limiting hereof.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION:

[0002] The present invention is a medical device. More specifically, the present invention is a medical cart.

DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART:

[0003] There are currently no feasible products on the market that are capable of allowing attendants to bathe their patients without making several trips to the restroom. Individuals who do not have the physical ability to bathe themselves and/or are primarily confined to a bed typically hire home health aides which utilize basins to wash and collect their liquid waste; however this process can be tedious as it often requires caregivers to make frequent trips to the bathroom in order to change the dirty water.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0004] The present invention is an innovative alternative to conventional methods of bathing bedridden patients. [0005] The medical cart includes a cart with a handle, a sink, a front wide clip-on basket, a drain, hoses to fill or rinse the sink, tanks, a pump, a spray nozzle, a wheel lock for stability, adjustable joints for easy fold-up, and a brace to support the cart when open.

[0006] It is an object of the present invention to provide consumers with a portable sink on a cart that holds water via removal water tanks and dispenses it through the connected hose where users can effectively perform hygienic tasks such as bathing, washing hair, and brushing teeth.

[0007] It is an object of the present invention to provide a portable system that affords drainage of dirty water to go through the waste tank located at the bottom.

[0008] It is an object of the present invention to provide a medical cart that is manufactured with optional stainless steel or heavy plastic materials for maximum durability.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0009] The present invention will be described by way of exemplary embodiments, but not limitations, illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which like references denote similar elements, and in which:

[0010] FIG. 1 illustrates a front view of a medical cart with a handle, a sink with a drain, a front wide clip-on basket, hoses to fill or rinse the sink, tanks, a spray nozzle, a wheel lock for stability, adjustable joints for easy fold-up, and a brace to support the cart when open.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATIVE EMBODIMENTS

[001 1 ] Various aspects of the illustrative embodiments will be described using terms commonly employed by those skilled in the art to convey the substance of their work to others skilled in the art. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced with only some of the described aspects. For purposes of explanation, specific numbers, materials and configurations are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the illustrative embodiments. However, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without the specific details. In other instances, well-known features are omitted or simplified in order not to obscure the illustrative embodiments.

[0012] Various operations will be described as multiple discrete operations, in turn, in a manner that is most helpful in understanding the present invention, however the order of description should not be construed as to imply that these operations are necessarily order dependent. In particular, these operations need not be performed in the order of presentation.

[0013] The phrase "in one embodiment" is used repeatedly. The phrase generally does not refer to the same embodiment, however, it may. The terms "comprising", "having" and "including" are synonymous, unless the context dictates otherwise.

[0014] Referring now to FIG. 1 , illustrated is a side view of the medical cart 10, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.

[0015] In FIG.1 , illustrated is a side view of the medical cart 10, including a handle 20, a nozzle which sprays water 40, a plastic drop-in sink with a drain 60, a front wide clip-on basket 80, a brace to support the cart when cart is open 100, hoses that provide water to fill or rinse the sink 1 10, water tanks that are removable for refill or disposal of dirty water 120, a wheel lock for stability 140, and adjustable joints for easy fold-up 160.

[0016] While the present invention has been related in terms of the foregoing embodiments those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention is not limited to the embodiments described. The present invention may be practiced with modification and alteration within the spirit and scope of the appended claims. Thus, the description is to be regarded as illustrative instead of restrictive on the present invention.
