Definitions
- This invention relates to a toilet- and hygiene equipment.
- the object of the invention has been to provide an equip ⁇ ment which meets the human toilet- and/or hygiene demands in an inobjectable manner with respect to the environmental re ⁇ quirements.
- the invention has for its object to decrease the demand on water, paper and the like in connec ⁇ tion with toilet visits, at the same time as the wastes may be utilized for fertilizing, composting and the like.
- Figure 1 is a longitudinal section through a first equip ⁇ ment according to the invention, picked as an example;
- Figure 2 i a longitudinal section through a second equip ⁇ ment according to the invention, picked as an example
- Figure 3 shows the equipment of figure 2, seen from above, but with the lid and a support ring removed;
- Figure 4 shows the equipment in figure 2 in a frontal view.
- the equipment in the emobdiment according to figure 1 consists of a slightly modified toilet bowl, which has been generally denoted 1 in the drawing.
- the toilet bowl ac ⁇ cording to the invention comprises two individual collecting bowls 2 and 3, respectively, disposed one behind the other, from which the foremost bowl 2 is adapted for collection of urine whereas the rearmost one 3 is adapted for collection of feces.
- the toilet bowl is designed in such a manner that a person sitting on the support ring 4 in a first, foremost position may utilize the foremost porti ⁇ on of the toilet bowl, i.e. uecesrinate, and in a second posi ⁇ tion, more rearwardly of the bowl, may utilize the rearmost portion thereof, wherein fececeses are collected.
- a person sitting on the support ring 4 in a first, foremost position may utilize the foremost porti ⁇ on of the toilet bowl, i.e. uecesrinate, and in a second posi ⁇ tion, more rearwardly of the bowl, may utilize the rearmost portion thereof, wherein fececeses are collected.
- the urine collecting bowl 2 in this first embodiment is provided with an outlet conduit 5 of its own, which, via a water trap may pass to an own storing tank (not shown) of any desired type for storing of a urine/- flushing water mixture so that the urine/flushing watermixture may be stored and may be made useful.
- the urine collecting bowl 2 similarly has its outlet into an otlet conduit 5 of its own, which conduit in turn is connected on one hand to a first outlet conduit 6 that, via a water trap 7, can lead to either a municipal sewer conduit or be led away to e.g. a garden plant, and, on the other hand, a second outlet conduit 8, that leads to a collecting vessel (not shown) which preferably has the shape of a transport vessel that may be picked up by an urine user to be utilized as a fertilizer, for instance.
- shut-off device 9 is provided between the conduits 6 and 8, and this device is adapted to permit that the flow of urine or urine with flush water, respectively, may be passed into different outlet conduits.
- This shut-off device which of course may take any desired shape, is shown in the drawing as having the shape of a flap which is shiftable from an operative position, shown in full lines, to an inoperative position, shown in dashed lines. According to the invention this shifting is preferably brought about after an impulse from two different transmitters 10 and 11, respectively.
- the first mentioned transmitter is preferably arranged at the uppermost portion of the toilet bowl, adjacent the foremost edge thereof, whereas the second one is disposed at the floor, in front of the toilet bowl and at a distance that corresponds to the distance between a man, who is urinating, and the col ⁇ lecting bowl 2 wherein the urine is intended to be collected.
- the support ring 4 is arranged tiltable, e.g. in that it rests on downwardly protruding, rounded fulcrums 12, disposed between the foremost and rearmost portions of the support ring, but normally the support ring by means of a spring biased member is held in such a position that the t- ransmitter 10 is maintained inactivated.
- the support ring will tilt slightly counter clockwise in relation to the fulcrums 12.
- the transmitter 10 which may consist of a microswitch or the like, is activated and the transmitter transmits an impulse to a relay, a magnet valve or the like which moves the shut-off member to its inac ⁇ tive, dashed position in which it permits free communication between the collecting bowl 2 and the outlet conduit 8.
- the urine will be led directly to the above mentioned transport vessel. The condition will be the same if one stands on the floor in a manner to activate the transmitter 11.
- shut-off means 9 When one slides rearwardly on the support ring and the centre of gravity is consequently displaced to the other side of the fulcrums 12, the support ring 4 tilts up clock wise, whereby the shut-off means 9 returns to its active position, closing the conduit 8. Therefore, in this position the shut- off means prevents communication between the collecting bowl 2 and the outlet conduit 8.
- the collecting bowls 2 and 3 may be conceived, for instance, to arrange the collecting bowls 2 and 3 one after the other sidewardly rather than one behind the other, in which case the bowl and the support ring have to be adapted therefore. It would also, of course, be possible to provide a conveyor for the feces to a special collection site, and it would thereby be possible, as with the urine, to provide one conduit that leads to this collection site, and another conduit, which passes the flushing water and remaining residues of feces to a conventional drain ⁇ age. As with the urine collection bowl 2, which has a removable grid 39 and, if desired, also a fixed grid 40, it would be possible to provide such grids also for the collection bowl for feces.
- shut-off means 9 like a possible shut-off device for feces, may of course be designed in any suitable manner, and the transmitters and the positioning thereof may be varied in a plurality of ways.
