Benefits of technology
[0008] This invention is the only mobile ice cream cart known to the inventor that has a detachable mobile hand sink. The hand sink connects to the dipping cabinet via two small hoses. The sink contains an electric water pump, electric hot water heater, and connects to a fresh water source and a waste-water tank. The dipping cabinet has a dipper well that connects to the sink cabinet, has a sliding glass top for viewing the ice cream, and an umbrella for coverage from the elements. The advantages to this cart versus others are its flexibility and size, which allows it to fit completely into the back of a minivan.
Problems solved by technology
Because of its size, this cart could not be taken to very many indoor catering events, yet the inventor's Baskin Robbins store was receiving many requests for indoor catering.
Extensive Internet searches only turned up carts that had to be towed either directly or on or in a trailer, some had limited views or no view at all of the ice cream, and all cost between $5,000 and $15,000.

The hand sink portion of this ice cream cart easily connects and disconnects from the dipping cabinet at the ¼″ tube connection under the ball valve at the dipping well and at the large gray PVC coupler connecting the wastewater line just inside the left door of the sink cabinet. When disconnected, the ¼″ dipping well tubing curls back up and stays inside the sink cabinet and the ends of the 1″ clear wastewater tubing stick together to form a large ring and fit under the bracket at the top of the dipping well on the dipping cabinet. This easy detachability, separateness, and mobility between the dipping cabinet and the sink cabinet is what makes this cart new and unique.
