Treatment cart with pass through tray

A cart for tending to a patient, comprising:

• (a) a base including a plurality of wheels;
• (b) a tabletop;
• (c) a body extending in a vertical direction from the base to the tabletop and supporting the tabletop thereon;
• (d) a first drawer supported by the body and configured to selectively move from a first closed position toward a first open position;
• (e) a second drawer supported by the body and configured to selectively move from a second closed position toward a second open position;
• (f) a locking mechanism operatively connected to the first and second drawers, wherein the second drawer is locked by the locking mechanism in the second closed position as a result of and when the first drawer is not in the first closed position, and wherein the first drawer is locked by the locking mechanism in the first closed position when the second drawer is not in the second closed position;
• (g) a slot laterally extending perpendicular to the vertical direction through the body;
• and
• (h) a tray movably supported by the body within the slot such that the tray is configured to selectively move from a stowed position toward a first lateral position and from the stowed position toward a second lateral position, wherein the tray in the stowed position is vertically below the tabletop, wherein the tray in the first lateral position projects laterally from the body such that at least a first portion of the tray is not vertically below the tabletop and thus exposed for access, and wherein the tray in the second lateral position projects laterally from the body such that at least a second portion of the tray is not vertically below the tabletop and thus exposed for access.

A cart for tending to a patient, comprising:

• (a) a base including a plurality of wheels;
• (b) a tabletop;
• (c) a body vertically extending from the base to the tabletop and supporting the tabletop thereon, wherein at least one of the plurality of wheels projects laterally outward relative to the body for enhanced stability;
• (d) a rack assembly supported by the body and extending upward from the body such that at least a portion of the rack assembly is vertically higher than the tabletop, wherein the rack assembly is configured to receive a medical supply thereon;
• (e) a cart handle supported by the body;
• (f) a lateral side panel extending from the base toward the tabletop, wherein the cart handle is positioned on the lateral side panel;
• (g) a first drawer supported by the body and configured to selectively move from a first closed position toward a first open position;
• and
• (h) a tray movably supported by the body such that the tray is configured to selectively move from a stowed position toward a first lateral position and from the stowed position toward a second lateral position, wherein the tray in the stowed position is vertically below the tabletop, wherein the tray in the first lateral position projects laterally from the body such that at least a first portion of the tray is not vertically below the tabletop and exposed for access, and wherein the tray in the second lateral position projects laterally from the body such that at least a second portion of the tray is not vertically below the tabletop and exposed for access,
• wherein at least a portion of the tray remains vertically below the tabletop in each of the stowed, first lateral, and second lateral positions,
• wherein the tray includes a first handle and a laterally opposing second handle, wherein the second and first handles respectively project laterally from the body beyond a lateral-most portion of the body in the stowed position for access,
• wherein the tray is positioned vertically between the first drawer and the tabletop, and
• wherein the tray in at least one of the second or first lateral positions is positioned vertically offset from the cart handle.
