Abstract: A small sink mounted on a stationary swivel is provided which can be used by adults and children in the hygienic practice to prevent the spread of deadly bacteria and viruses. The mini sink is easily swung in an arc to a position in front of the user, then, after use, it can be pushed back into a storage position. Part II of this invention covers public avenues where too, the normally accepted practice of washing hands after cleansing the posterior area of fecal matter and urine and redressing was thought to assure and meet personal sanitary requirements. But sterilizing hand inserts and the miniscrub set new standards for personal hygiene at home and abroad.

In this construction, the extension section continuously formed at a section of the overflow edge section of the bowl section functions as a conventional function case and as result, the number of parts and the number of execution man-hours can be reduced. Since a clearance or gap as seen in the prior art is not produced, cleaning efficiency can be improved. A cleaning fluid is filled in a tank, and a cleaning fluid refilling port for refilling the cleaning fluid from the tank is provided on the inner surface of a water receiving section. The cleaning fluid within the tank is supplied to the cleaning fluid ejection port by a pump.
Abstract: The invention of the Professional Water Bath is engineered towards the safe use of the culinary technique known as ‘water bathing’ and is directed specifically towards pastry chefs, commercial and private alike, that regularly employ this technique. The concept of the Professional Water Bath is that it limits the risk of transporting oven-hot containers with boiling water and fragile culinary products after baking time is completed. The risk involved with current equipment is that the pans (being horizontal in design and rather shallow) are not stable when filled with water. The improvements with the Professional Water Bath are a liquid release valve that allows water to be drained from the reservoir before removal from the oven and thicker gauge metal to provide stability when transporting culinary products.
