Disposable bedpan
View Patent ↗A disposable bedpan having a bedpan with a base and a sidewall. The sidewall has at least one lateral support. A cover has a cover base. The cover mounts upon the bedpan when assembled to support a user thereon. The bedpan collects human waste. The bedpan and the cover are for a single use, thus disposable. A plurality of the bedpan is stackable upon one another, and a plurality of the cover is stackable upon one another to be volumetrically efficient for carrying, transporting, and/or storage.
1. A disposable bedpan, comprising:
A) a bedpan having a base and an exterior sidewall, said exterior sidewall having longitudinal sides and lateral supports on said longitudinal sides, said bedpan is generally oval in shape and symmetrical, said bedpan further comprises a top ridge and a front ridge, said lateral supports protrude inwardly directly from said exterior sidewall and are tapered from said base towards said top ridge, said base comprises at least one ridge that extends perpendicularly across said base and protrudes inwardly from said base, said top ridge and said front ridge define a front top cavity, whereby said front ridge contours and extends along a perimeter section of said top ridge, said bedpan further comprises a front base support and a front bottom cavity that is defined between said base and said front base support, said bedpan further comprises a base support; and
B) a cover comprising a cover base with at least one cover ridge that extends perpendicularly across said cover base, said cover further comprises a cover front ridge and a cover front top cavity defined between said cover front ridge and said cover base, said cover further comprises a cover cavity defined by a cover base support and a u-shaped cover base ridge, whereby said cover base support forms an arch, said cover is symmetrical and mounts upon said bedpan when assembled to support a user thereon, whereby said u-shaped cover base ridge and said cover base support rest upon said base and said bedpan collects human waste including urine and feces or excrement, and said bedpan and said cover are disposable, intended for a single use and are constructed of biodegradable materials.
2. The disposable bedpan set forth in claim 1 , further characterized in that said cover is stackable upon another said cover to be volumetrically efficient for carrying, transporting, and storage, whereby said cover front top cavity from a first said cover receives said u-shaped cover base ridge from a second said cover.
3. The disposable bedpan set forth in claim 2 , further characterized in that said bedpan is stackable upon another said bedpan to be volumetrically efficient for carrying, transporting, and storage, whereby said front top cavity from a first said bedpan receives said front base support from a second said bedpan.
