Abstract: A portable body-washing apparatus is a self-supported, self-contained hygiene aid directed towards use in care-homes, hospitals, or other facilities typically tasked with assisted bathing of disabled persons. A mobile chassis supports an adjustable armature, a base chair segment, and at least one articulated chair segment to support a subject's body during washing. An onboard pump assembly and connected power supply feeds fluids from at least one fluid source through a plurality of conduits via a fluid selection source, enabling operators to select from various output modes, e.g., water, heated air, body wash, shampoo, et cetera. The plurality of conduits is connected to a plurality of outlet heads distributed across the base chair segment and at least one articulated chair segment to enable a full-body wash without requiring a caregiver to physically maneuver the patient.

Abstract: A hybridized shower apparatus is a hygienic aid that is directed towards adding additional functions to a conventional shower by introducing a second dispensation mode, in addition to conventional water jets. The hybridized shower apparatus uses a first fluid supply and a second fluid supply connected to a fluid selection mechanism via a first conduit and a second conduit. The fluid selection mechanism is further connected to a first annular chamber and a second annular chamber positioned within a dispersal head. The fluid selection mechanism selectably pressurizes the first annular chamber or the second annular chamber with the first fluid supply and the second fluid supply, respectively. The selected fluid is subsequently dispensed through the dispersal head onto a target region, typically a user's head and shoulders.
