Lavatory Unit for Vehicle
A lavatory unit for a vehicle is provided for washing feet. A toilet seat is put in the use position, a lid is put in the open position, the lid and a water drainage plate coupled by an engage/disengage mechanism are disengaged, and the water drainage plate is rotated to the placed position. With pressure on the water drainage plate, water is discharged from a faucet for a predetermined time by a water control unit, and the foot is washed on the water drainage plate. The water is drained to the inside of a toilet body through a discharge port. Once the foot is washed, the water on the upper surface of the water drainage plate is wiped, the water drainage plate is rotated from the placed position to the open position of the lid, or the lid is rotated to the closed position.
LAVATORY MONUMENT FOR AIRCRAFT
An aircraft including a lavatory monument. The lavatory monument includes an outboard wall and a shell wall removably connected to the outboard wall, both walls extending radially inwardly relative to a fuselage of the aircraft. The lavatory monument also includes a floor panel connected to and between the outboard wall and the shell wall. The lavatory monument also includes a toilet connected to the floor panel. The lavatory monument also includes a plurality of lavatory fixtures individually removably attached to at least one of: the outboard wall, the shell wall, the floor panel, or the toilet. Each of the plurality of lavatory fixtures is individually removable. Common interface points on each of the plurality of lavatory fixtures are unchangeable with respect to the lavatory monument.
Toilet having compressed air flushing technology and water extracting from humidified air
A stand-alone toilet system is powered by photovoltaic cells to operate a dehumidifier from which water is extracted from the atmosphere by dehumidification and used for flushing; an electronic compressor is situated in the toilet tank to compress air which is used with water in the flush cycle; a motorized or hydraulic hinge is utilized to open and close a toilet cover automatically which can be locked in place by an electromagnet securing mechanism to create an airtight seal in the closed position; a heating element and a UV lamp are situated inside the treatment facility of the toilet system to evaporate liquid and sanitize waste content therein respectively.
Sanitary unit with monitoring device
The invention relates to a mobile sanitary device, comprising a bowl having an upper opening, a water storage tank which is connected to the bowl via a water conduit that supplies water from the water storage tank to the bowl, a wastewater tank which is connected to the bowl via a wastewater line that discharges the wastewater out of the bowl from a bowl outlet opening to the wastewater tank, a first intermediate tank which is inserted into the water conduit between the water storage tank and the bowl or into the wastewater line between the bowl outlet opening and the wastewater tank. According to the invention, a first sensor for detecting a measured value characterizing a status in the first intermediate tank is arranged on the first intermediate tank, and an electronic monitoring unit is provided which is in signal communication with the first sensor and comprises an electronic memory unit in which process data are stored which represent at least one setpoint value of an operational process of supplying water from the water storage tank to the bowl and of water discharge out of the bowl to the wastewater tank. The electronic monitoring unit also comprises an electronic comparator unit which is configured to compare the measured value from the first sensor with the setpoint value of the operational process and to output an error message if the measured value differs from the setpoint value.
Vehicle, in particular rail vehicle, with a compressed air-operated toilet device
A vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, includes a compressed-air-operated toilet device and a compressed air supply system which supplies compressed air to the toilet device during normal operation. The vehicle also includes an emergency compressed air source that is suitable for providing compressed air for continued operation of the toilet device in the event of a failure of the compressed air supply system.
VEHICLE LAVATORY SINK BASIN ASSEMBLY
A vehicle lavatory monument assembly that includes an enclosure having first, second, third and fourth walls that cooperate to define a lavatory interior, an entry door positioned on the second wall, and a sink basin assembly positioned in the lavatory interior. The sink basin assembly includes a sink basin that includes a back wall, a top wall, a bottom wall, a first side wall, and a second side wall that cooperate to defined a sink basin interior. The top wall includes a top surface and a bottom surface, the bottom surface partially defines the sink basin interior, and the top surface is a counter.
Cabin With Rotatable Cabin Door For A Vehicle
A cabin for a vehicle includes a cabin wall having an opening and a door for opening and closing the opening. The door is moved about a rotational point and includes a movable door leaf which has a concentric segment. The cabin wall additionally forms a door stop in the closing direction of the door. The door leaf further has a linear segment with a fixed end and a free end. The linear segment adjoins the concentric segment at the fixed end in the closing direction of the door, and the free end of the linear segment forms a closing edge in the closing direction of the door. The closing edge lies against the door stop when the door is closed. A vehicle including an interior having the cabin is also provided.
SANITARY UNIT WITH MONITORING DEVICE
The invention relates to a mobile sanitary device, comprising a bowl having an upper opening, a water storage tank which is connected to the bowl via a water conduit that supplies water from the water storage tank to the bowl, a wastewater tank which is connected to the bowl via a wastewater line that discharges the wastewater out of the bowl from a bowl outlet opening to the wastewater tank, a first intermediate tank which is inserted into the water conduit between the water storage tank and the bowl or into the wastewater line between the bowl outlet opening and the wastewater tank. According to the invention, a first sensor for detecting a measured value characterising a status in the first intermediate tank is arranged on the first intermediate tank, and an electronic monitoring unit is provided which is in signal communication with the first sensor and comprises an electronic memory unit in which process data are stored which represent at least one setpoint value of an operational process of supplying water from the water storage tank to the bowl and of water discharge out of the bowl to the wastewater tank. The electronic monitoring unit also comprises an electronic comparator unit which is configured to compare the measured value from the first sensor with the setpoint value of the operational process and to output an error message if the measured value differs from the setpoint value.
Vehicle lavatory
A vehicle lavatory, in particular an aircraft lavatory, is described. The lavatory includes a cabin space with a centrally located vertical axis around which a washstand and a urinal unit are located. The washstand and urinal unit are arranged to each have an approximately horizontal surface at their top, such that a person using the lavatory has a location to place personal items during use. The horizontal surfaces of the washstand and the urinal are arranged to exist in the same plane and may be a continuous surface that may additionally cross the entirety of the width of the cabin. The urinal is arranged such that a plane defining the opening of the urinal is at an angle relative to a plane defining a front surface of the washstand such that a person using the lavatory only has to turn slightly to access the urinal and the washstand.
