Abstract

The present invention relates generally to the field of sinks. More specifically, the present invention relates to an inflatable sink device that is comprised of a body, further primarily comprised of a top tank, a bottom tank, a sink basin, an air pump, a battery, a water pump, and a faucet. The body further preferably resembles a bathroom vanity and is flexible or semi-flexible such that it can inflate with air to be used, or deflate for easier transportation and storage. The device also provides clean running water to be used for washing in a sink basin and a bottom tank that collects the resultant dirty water after use. In this manner, the device can be used in any place such that even without a traditional bathroom sink available, washing can still be accomplished within a stream of running water out of a faucet.
