Abstract:
1. A portable hand washing station, comprising: (a) a durable carrying case including a pair of spaced apart sidewalls connecting a bottom wall, back wall, and front wall, said walls defining an interior hand washing compartment, and whereby the front wall is adapted to include a door capable of opening to permit hand access into the interior of the hand washing compartment; (b) a lid adapted to be connected to the case, wherein the lid is capable of support on the case in an open vertical position, and wherein the lid further includes a shelf connected to an interior surface of the lid, said shelf having a pair of spaced apart valve openings, wherein the lid is pivotally attached to the sidewalls of the case, a horizontal lip is formed in an upper interior surface of each of the sidewalls, and the shelf further includes a pair of transverse folds defining a pair of oppositely aligned flat spring end members adapted to project downwardly at a first extended angle capable of engaging said lip formations when the lid is pivoted to an open vertical position, and are compressible to a second angle so that the flat spring members are capable of releasing engagement from the lip formations to permit the lid to pivot downwardly into an enclosing position for transport and storage; and (c) a pair of liquid dispensing reservoirs supported on the lid, each of said reservoirs including a top wall including a mouth opening, a bottom wall including a drain opening, and a touch operated flow valve connected to the bottom wall in liquid communication with the drain opening, wherein said flow valves are adapted to extend into the interior hand washing compartment when the flow valves are deflected by hand, wherein said flow valves are capable of extending through the valve openings into the interior of the compartment.
