Definitions
- the present invention relates to an improvement to sanitary cabins with variable volume.
- sanitary cabins with variable geometry in the sense that they are alternately extendable and foldable so as to offer a sanitary space therefore taking maximum amplitude during its periods of use and, conversely, reduced congestion outside these periods.
- the aforementioned patent describes for this purpose a sanitary block composed of two homologous parts, the second sliding relative to the first by reciprocal fitting; this device, which undeniably has certain advantages compared to embodiments with a fixed volume, nevertheless has practical drawbacks which remove much of its advantage from it.
- the mobile part of the toilet block has no bottom; therefore, there is no watertightness and, as nothing is provided to isolate the shower tray during its use, flooding is very troublesome for the user.
- the exclusive arrangement of the shower tray on the fixed side of the block makes the useful area quite narrow, which ultimately goes against the desired goal.
- the present invention seeks to remedy these drawbacks by proposing a sanitary cabin comprising at least one parallelepipedal movable part sliding in a fixed part, also parallelipipedic, by reciprocal fitting of their lateral and upper faces, characterized in that the movable part, or respectively the fixed part is provided with an articulated bottom which, when the cabin is deployed, comes to form a continuous floor with the bottom of at least the fixed part, or respectively the mobile part.
- the bottom of the movable part or the bottom of the fixed part comprises a peripheral flap ensuring sealing, advantageously forming a stop limiting the spacing of the two parts, mobile and fixed, one from the other.
- the two fixed and movable parts of the sanitary cabin are connected to each other by a pull-out movable box, open on its anterior and posterior vertical faces in communication with said fixed and movable parts, said box being provided with a watertight platform under which is normally arranged at least one support leg resting on the ground by means of a sliding pad or a caster, so that when the sanitary cabin is deployed, said platform comes to form a continuous floor with the respective bottoms of the fixed and movable parts.
- the interior arrangement of the sanitary cabin thus formed can be carried out in various ways.
- a half-shower tray is arranged in the bottom of the fixed part, or respectively of the mobile part, with a grid covering the bowl of said half-tray on the top, so as to form, with the bottom of the movable part, or respectively of the fixed part, or the platform of the intermediate nesting box, a complete shower tray with waterproof floor.
- the grid covering the half-shower tray of the fixed part, or respectively of the mobile part, of the sanitary cabin is articulated, by a set of rods with two parallel horizontal axes, on the front vertical wall of the fixed part, or respectively of the mobile part, said set of rods acting:
- a half shower tray comprising a bowl and a grid
- a similar half shower tray is arranged in the bottom of the fixed part, which allows, after deployment, to obtain a large shower tray occupying almost all of the floor available at the bottom of the cabin.
- the two grids can be lifted around a set of rods provided for this purpose on the vertical wall blind respectively of the fixed and movable parts corresponding thereto, so as to leave a passage to the intermediate platform of the box when the cabin is folded.
- each grid is articulated around a single horizontal axis on the blind vertical wall of the mobile part or, respectively, fixed, and has a depth greater than the depth of said fixed and mobile parts; in this way, in the folding phase of the cabin, the two grids come into abutment against each other by their respective frontal edges, each grid then lifting around its respective axis of articulation by forming a dihedral the interior of said folded cabin.
- the two grids can be of identical depths, at least equal to half the length of the unfolded sanitary cabin; thus, the entire cabin floor is covered by a grid at the time of use. In the latter case, it may also be advantageous to connect the front edges of said grids by a hinge, which facilitates their respective articulation movement, or else to slide the two grids superimposed on each other.
- FIG. 1 is a view in vertical and median section of a sanitary cabin with two parts, fixed and movable, the fixed part comprising a half shower tray, in the folded position,
- - Figure 2 is a view similar to that of the previous figure, the sanitary cabin being in the deployed position
- - Figure 3 is a vertical and median sectional view of a sanitary cabin with two parts, fixed and movable, and an intermediate part or pull-out box, also mobile, in the folded position
- FIG. 4 is a view similar to that of the previous figure, the sanitary cabin being in the deployed position,
- - Figure 5 is a vertical and median sectional view of an alternative embodiment of the grids fitted to the sanitary cabin shown in Figures 3 and 4
- - Figures 6 and 7 relate to yet another embodiment of a sanitary cabin to three elements, internally supplemented with a flexible bellows covering, or liner, extendable improving the tightness and the finish of said cabin
- - Figure 8 is a front view of an embodiment of the access door to the cabin
- FIGS. 9 and 10 are views in horizontal section of the access door, along the section plane AA traced in FIG. 8, - Figures 11 and 12 are views in horizontal section of the access door, showing an alternative embodiment of the latter.
- All the sanitary cabins represented on the appended figures include at least one fixed part 1 and at least one movable part 2, sliding in translation on the front of said fixed part 1 by reciprocal fitting of their lateral and upper faces.
- the movable part 2 has a frame 3 mounted on casters 4 and supporting a horizontal shower tray 5, which is constituted by a bowl 6 covered by a grid 7 articulated horizontally on the wall vertical of said movable part 2 by means of a set of rods 8 with two parallel horizontal axes whose function will be better explained below.
- the bowl 6 has in its lower part a drain 9 for waste water which is connected, by a flexible pipe, to a discharge manifold not shown in the figures so as not to affect the clarity of the drawings.
- the fixed part 1 of the sanitary cabin has for its part a horizontal bottom 10, raised relative to the ground, so as to be located at the upper edge of the shower tray 5 fitted to the mobile part 2 when the cabin is deployed (FIG. 2).
- the bowl 6 of the shower tray 5 slides under the raised bottom 10 of the fixed part 1, while the grid 7 lifts around all the rods 8 and slides over said bottom 10.
- the grid 7 can again be lowered to the same level as the raised bottom 10 so as to form a single floor in the bottom of the cabin.
- the sealing of said floor is ensured by a peripheral flap 11, arranged along the front edge of the raised bottom 10 and the side walls of the fixed part 1 to cooperate with the rear edge and the side walls of the bowl. 6 of shower tray 5; this flap 11 further forms a stop making it possible to limit the spacing of the fixed 1 and mobile 2 parts from one another.
- a intermediate element, or trundle box 12 is slidably mounted between the fixed 1 and mobile 2 parts of the sanitary cabin.
- this nesting box 12 is open on its front and rear vertical faces to communicate with the open faces of the fixed 1 and movable 2 parts.
- This box 12 is moreover provided with a sealed platform 13, forming a floor intermediate when the sanitary cabin is deployed; under this platform 13, a number of support legs 14 resting at ground level by a system of rollers 15 which are quite conventional have normally been arranged, the number and sizing of the support legs 14 and the rollers 15 of course depending on the laden weight of the sanitary cabin.
- a shower tray 5 provided with a bowl 6 and a grid 7 articulated by a set of links 8 on the vertical wall corresponding to it.
- the platform 13 of the trundle box 12 is inserted, both at its front and at its rear, under said grids 7 which are raised in the manner already described with reference to the figures 1 and 2.
- flaps 11 seal the two front and rear ends of the platform 13 and advantageously form stops limiting the spacing of the three constituent parts (1, 2, 12) of the sanitary cabin between them.
- the sanitary cabin is of the intermediate nesting box type 12 with an improvement relating to the retraction system of the grids 7 covering the bowls 6 of the shower trays 5 of the mobile 2 and fixed 1 parts of said cabin.
- the dimensions of the grids 7 are such that in the position of maximum deployment of the cabin, the floor of the latter is - 1 - completely covered by the juxtaposition of said grids 7 folded horizontally over the top of the bowls 6 and of the platform 13.
- the grids 7 are moreover articulated, around a single horizontal axis 15, around the vertical blind wall of the part 1, 2 of the cabin which they equip; at the time of the folding of said cabin, the respective frontal fields of said grids 7 then come into abutment against one another by causing them to be lifted around their respective axis of articulation 15, said grids 7 thus forming a dihedral at the interior of the folded cabin.
- the variant shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 consists of an improvement on the variants of FIGS. 1 to 4.
- the mobile 2 and fixed 1 parts, and possibly the intermediate nesting box 12 are provided with a flexible bellows covering 16, commonly known as a liner, which improves the tightness and finish of the cabin.
- the fixing of the covering 16 is conventional, conventional sealing devices being provided wherever necessary for the passage of pipes and other sanitary equipment.
- the access door 17 to the cabin consists of an outer leaf 17a., Articulated by a vertical hinge on said cabin which cooperates with an internal leaf 17b, which fits into said external leaf 17a., and which is articulated vertically on the latter.
- the inner leaf 17Jb has on its front face a sink 18 or any similar sanitary device; this sink 18 is set back towards the inside of the cabin and is articulated on the outer leaf 17a. by the same hinge as the inner leaf 17b_. In the position of use of the sink 18 (FIG. 9), which corresponds to the position of non-use of the sanitary cabin, the inner leaf 17b.
- FIGS. 11 and 12 show sink 18 in their respective positions in and outside the volume of the sanitary cabin.
