Rotatable Sink

Abstract

A rotatable sink is provided. The rotatable sink may have a stationary unit having a faucet and a rotatable sink basin unit. The sink basin unit may move from a first orientation which covers the faucet to a second orientation wherein the sink basin may receive water dispensed from the faucet. In an embodiment, the rotation of the sink basin downward to the second orientation automatically activates the faucet to turn on and the rotation of the sink basin unit upward to the first orientation automatically turns off the faucet. A sensor may also be present to automatically activate the rotatable sink.

I claim: 
     
         1 ) A sink comprising:
 a stationary unit secured to a wall;   a sink basin wherein the sink basin rotates from an upward position to a downward position with respect to the stationary unit;   wherein the sink basin collects water; and   a pivot wherein the sink basin rotates with respect to the stationary unit at the pivot.   
     
     
         2 ) The sink of  claim 1  wherein the sink basin is prevented from rotating into a position less than five degrees with respect to the floor. 
     
     
         3 ) The sink of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a first side of the sink basin and a second side of the sink basin. 
 
     
     
         4 ) The sink of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a faucet secured to the stationary unit. 
 
     
     
         5 ) The sink of  claim 4  wherein the faucet is concealed by the sink basin when the sink basin is in the upward position but wherein the faucet is visible when the sink basin is in the downward position. 
     
     
         6 ) The sink of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a sensor to automatically rotate the sink basin at the pivot. 
 
     
     
         7 . The sink of  claim 4  further comprising:
 a sensor to automatically turn on the faucet when the sink basin is in the downward position. 
 
     
     
         8 ) The sink of  claim 1  wherein the sink basin has a front and a back and wherein the back of the sink basin is open. 
     
     
         9 ) The sink of  claim 1  further comprising:
 an automatic soap dispenser unit secured to the stationary unit. 
 
     
     
         10 ) The sink of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a UV sterilization light secured to the stationary unit. 
 
     
     
         11 ) The sink of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a handle on a front of the sink basin. 
 
     
     
         12 ) The sink of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a first side panel attached to the stationary unit; 
 a second side panel attached to the stationary unit; 
 a front panel attached stationary unit; 
 a bottom unit attached to the stationary unit; and 
 wherein the first side panel, the second side panel, the front panel, the bottom unit and the stationary unit collective create a hollow reservoir for receiving water from a faucet. 
 
     
     
         13 ) The sink of  claim 12  wherein a pivot for the sink basin is located on the first side panel and the second side panel.
