STACKABLE BEDPAN WITH SPOUT Filed April 1, 1966 INVENTOR.
MARGARET A. GILBERT AT TO RNEYS United States Patent 3,453,664 STACKABLE BEDPAN WITH SPOUT Margaret A. Gilbert, 1345 Birmingham St., Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada Filed Apr. 1, 1966, Ser. No. 541,455 Int. Cl. A61g 9/00 US. Cl. 4-112 1 Claim ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A bedpan having a recessed groove about the outer edge or periphery of the seat of the bedpan disposed in mating relation to a projection disposed along the bottom skirt around the outside of the bedpan by which the bedpan may be stacked one on top of the other without slipping or falling, and a hollow recess portion projected outwardly at the front of the bedpan and terminating in a pouring spout to provide the facility of pouring liquid from the pan into small specimen bottles or tubes.
Specificati0n.-The present invention relates to improved bedpans having a mating recess and projection groove around the upper and lower portions of the bedpan so that the pans may be stacked, and including a recess or projection forming a spout disposed at the front portion of the bedpan to provide facility in pouring liquid from the pan into specimen bottles or tubes.
An object, therefore, of the present invention is to provide a beveled seat with a mating structure with the bottom of a bedpan so that the bedpans may be disposed in a stacked array.
A further object of the invention is to provide a bedpan with a groove at the bottom for mating with a projection or beveled rim at the top of the bedpan, providing that the pans may be disposed in a stacked array.
Another object of the invention is to provide a stackable bedpan with a spout disposed so that liquid contained within the bedpan may be poured with facility into smallmouthed specimen bottles or tubes.
The above and other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent upon full consideration of the following detailed description and accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a generally perspective view of a stackable bedpan according to the best mode and preferred embodiment of the present invention; and
FIGURE 1A is a cross-sectional view of FIGURE 1 taken along line 1A; and
FIG. 2 is a top view of the bedpan shown in FIG. 1.
Referring now to the drawings, there is shown a bedpan having a portion forming a seat 10 which is beveled in the usual contour adapted to receive a body member, and in which the seat is provided with a projection or recessed groove 20. The groove 20 encircles partly around the outside portion of the seat 10 and terminates where the seat portion is seen to terminate concurrently. It is noted that the drawings also show a skirted projection 50 which extends similarly in mating relation about the bottom of the bedpan as does the groove 20 which extends around the top of the bedpan. The skirt 50 is disposed for mating relation with the groove 20. It is thus seen that the projection 50 provides a skirt or extension that is received in the groove 20 when the bedpans are disposed in stacked array, and thus slipping or falling of the stacked bedpans is substantially eliminated.
At the front portion of the bedpan, there is a rim 30 that extends in the absence of the seat 10 and forms a portion defined as a small hollow recess that points outwardly and terminates in a pouring spout 40. The spout 40 provides ease in pouring liquids contained in the bedpan into small-mouthed bottles or tubes, or the like, as desired.
It is also observed further that the skirt or projection 50 which is formed around the outside bottom of the bedpan does not contact with the spout 40 when the devices are in stacked array one on top of another. The skirt 50 fits into the groove 20 that is provided in the seat of the next adjacent bedpan, resulting in several bedpans being stacked with convenience without slipping.
Additional embodiments of the invention in this specification will occur to others and, therefore, it is intended that the scope of the invention be limited only by the appended claim and not by the embodiment described hereinabove. Accordingly, reference should be made to the following claim in determining the full scope of the invention.
What is claimed is:
1. A bedpan comprising an upper seat portion and a lower base portion and having a substantially continuous groove extending around the outer periphery thereof, a-
substantially continuous skirted projection extending around the outer periphery of the bottom of said base portion of the bedpan, the groove and the skirted projection disposed and constructed for mating when the bedpans are in stacked arary with adjacent skirted projections and grooves, respectively, so that the stacking of the bedpans one on top of the other may be accomplished without slippage or falling thereof, and a hollow spout-forming recessed portion pointing outwardly in front of the seat portion of the bedpan and terminating in a pouring spout for pouring liquid contained therein into smallmouthed specimen bottles and the like.
