Abstract: A portable bath tube apparatus utilizing a flexible sheet having a bottom and a side portion extending from the bottom. An envelope is also included and is capable of containing air to form a chamber with respect to the bottom of the flexible sheet. The sheet is anchored to a bed and includes a valve for permitting the envelope to be inflated with air pressure. A fastener maintains the envelope in a compact form when the envelope lies in a deflated configuration relative to the bed.

Abstract: A system for inserting and removing a bed pan in conjunction with a bed, utilizing a vessel which is capable of holding human waste products. A track is supported by the bed and extends along and beneath the top surface of the bed. The track includes a guide for moving the vessel along the same. The vessel may be placed in the guide in a first position within the periphery of the bed and in a second position outwardly from the periphery of the bed. A conduit extends from the top surface of the bed to a place beneath the top surface of the bed for communication with the vessel when it is at the first position.

Abstract: A food container comprising a receptacle having bottom and side portions which form a containing space. A support is positioned within the receptacle and includes at least one partition for forming at least first and second cavities within the containing space. A member overlies the support and substantially encloses the same in relation to the side portions of the receptacle. A cover overlies the member to form a chamber therebetween which may be heat insulated from the cavities.
