ABSTRACT:
An invalid toilet is disclosed which is used in combination with an air inflated hospital bed which typically have a plurality of individually inflatable air sacks. The invalid toilet is stored in a cabinet member in a position such that it makes efficient use of hospital space. A control means is disclosed that may be actuated by the patient to move the invalid toilet to a "use" position. The control means causes the air inflatable sack at the center of the hospital bed to deflate and the invalid toilet is moved over this central area. The control means provide a signal to a remote nurses station to allow the nurse to monitor the use of the invalid toilet by the patient. The nurses station is provided with a stop switch to stop movement of the invalid toilet. The control means also record the time of actuation. The invalid toilet contains storage containers which store waster material and clean water and these waste containers are made easily accessible to service personnel. The invalid toilet disclosed by this invention is relatively simple, makes sufficient use of space, and does not require frequent attention by service or medical personnel. Thus, it is a practical solution to the problems faced by patients in a hospital environment.
