Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a public lavatory with a self-supporting structure, comprising at least one user compartment housing at least one fixture, said structure comprising a base, a roof and a series of walls connected between said base and said roof.
  • both the above known types of structure are invariably unsightly and cannot be adapted easily to conform with different urban environments.
  • a public lavatory with a self-supporting structure comprising at least one user compartment housing at least one fixture, said structure comprising a base, a roof and a series of walls connected between said base and said roof; characterised by the fact that said structure also comprises a frame consisting of hollow metal section pillars and cross members; at least one of said walls consisting of a panel, the edges of which are fitted in removable manner to another metal section, in turn fitted to said pillars and/or said cross members.
  • Number 10 in Fig.1 indicates a public lavatory having a self-supporting structure consisting of a base 11 (Fig.2), a series of lateral walls 12 and a roof 13.
  • lavatory 10 comprises a user compartment 14 (Fig.3) with a door 16, e.g. a sliding door; and a utility compartment 17 with a second door 18, e.g. a steel plated swing door.
  • Compartments 14 and 17 are separated by a partition wall 19 of stainless steel and fiberglass-reinforced plastic. Wall 19 is fitted, facing user compartment 14, with a toilet 21, and, facing utility compartment 17, with an automatic cleaning device 22 described in detail later on.
  • the structure of lavatory 10 comprises a frame 23 (Fig.2) consisting of a series of pillars 24 and cross members 25, each consisting of a hollow metal section 26 (Fig.s 5 and 7).
  • Sections 26 of pillars 24 and cross members 25 are connected, e.g. welded, together, and consist in particular of a square, zinc-plated steel box section.
  • At least two of the upper cross members 25 of frame 23 (Fig.s 1 and 2) present a strong steel or cast iron hook 27 for mechanically lifting and moving the entire structure or lavatory 10, e.g. for seasonal or temporary transfer from site to another. Hooks 27 are preferably fitted to the four top corners of frame 23.
  • Both roof 13 and walls 12 consist of panels 28 (Fig.s 4 to 7), each edge 29 of which is fitted in removable manner to another metal section 30 also made of zinc-plated steel and fitted, usually welded, to hollow section 26.
  • Each panel 28 consists of two parallel wire nets 31 and 32 embedded in a layer 33 of fireproof fiberglass-reinforced plastic foam, and is thus extremely rigid, shockproof and totally fireproof.
  • Each edge 29 of panel 28 presents a seat for receiving a flange 34 of section 30 in such a manner that flange 34 is flush with the inner surface of panel 28.
  • Flange 34 presents holes 36 for securing panel 28 by means of screws 37.
  • Section 30 is generally L-shaped, the other flange 38 of which is located adjacent to edge 29 and generally welded to one face of hollow section 26.
  • section 30 On panels 28 of walls 12 (Fig.s 6 and 7), section 30 is flush with one face of hollow section 26, whereas, on panel 28 of roof 13 (Fig.s 4 and 5), section 30 is substantially located along the center line of one face of hollow section 26.
  • L section 30 may be replaced with a T section 39 (Fig.3), the central flange or leg 41 of which is fitted between adjacent edges 29 of two panels 28, e.g. for forming a relatively wide wall 12, and the other two flanges 42 of which provide for securing edges 29 of panels 28 by means of screws 37, thus connecting one panel 28 directly to the other.
  • the outer surface 43 of panels 28 of walls 12 may be decorated, e.g. knurled or panelled; may present panels for instruction plates or advertising; and may be designed to conform with different urban environments using curtain panels of different materials and colours.
  • a painted steel panel 44 may be provided featuring vandalproof, silk screen printed operating instructions, indicator lights, a coin slot, coin tray and cycle counter.
  • panel 44 provision is made for another panel 45 used solely for advertising and supporting, on one side, one side of front wall 12, and, on the other, a panel 40 located over the opening of door 16 and fitted to left pillar 24.
  • Panel 28 of roof 13 (Fig.5) is thinner than those of walls 12, and presents an opening 46 for a skylight 47 having a dome 48 made of translucent, unbreakable acrylic material.
  • This panel 28 is connected to upper cross members 25 by means of a bead of sealing compound 47.
  • Base 11 comprises a floor 50 of heelproof, slotted stainless steel sheet. Underneath floor 50, provision is made for a stainless steel trash tank 51 with bronze wash nozzles.
  • Fig.3 version of lavatory 10 is specially designed for disabled users confined to a wheelchair.
  • lateral walls 12 of compartments 14 and 17 consist of two side by side panels 28 for doubling the width of compartments 14 and 17.
  • Partition wall 19 is also of double width, and presents a recess 52 opening on to the user compartment 14 side and extending inwards of utility compartment 17.
  • Recess 52 houses a unit consisting of a wash basin 53 with a soap dispenser 54 and electric hand drier 55.
  • Wall 19 or recess 52 may also be provided with a tissue dispenser (not shown).
  • Wall 19 is fitted with a projecting horizontal bar 56 for supporting disabled users of both toilet 21 and wash basin 53. Provision is also made for a second horizontal bar 57 along rear wall 12 and wall 12 adjacent to sliding door 16, and for a vertical bar 58 substantially along rear wall 12.
  • Automatic cleaning unit 22 of both the smaller and handicapped versions comprises a disinfectant tank and an automatic control unit controlled by an electronic control system 59 housed in utility compartment 17 and comprising a logic process controller, such as a microprocessor. After use, the control unit provides automatically for disinfecting, washing and drying the toilet, the inner surfaces of walls 12, floor 50 and the other accessories inside user compartment 14.
  • panels 28 may be reinforced with one instead of two wire nets.
  • lavatory 10 may be polygonal instead of rectangular, and some of pillars 24 of frame 23 may consist of appropriately shaped hollow sections other than the square sections described herein.
