Abstract

The private mobile toilets and showers with use of public or private supplies are specially constructed and well equipped with electrical and plumbing installations for toilets and showers (16), a selective pipe (19), a central water distribution pipe (18), a double connecting collar (5), flexible connecting pipe (4), a double connecting collar (3), screwed clamp (10), flexible water pipe (9), connecting switch with the water supply (8).

Description

Private Mobile Toilets and Showers with use of public or private supplies, are characterized primarily by the fact that they are mobile, easy to adjust and remove and that they may be installed in a certain place for a definite or indefinite period of time. The innovation of the toilets and showers with their suitably tailored plumbing and electrical installations, are linked directly to the public or private supplies i.e. central sewer, water and electrical supply.
Greek patent N° 1002769 to the present applicant discloses an arrangement including such toilets, as defined in the preamble of appended claim 1, in which claim the addition of the removable watertight partition within the manhole helps keep apart the sewer and water supplies for better hygiene.
The advantage of this invention as defined by claim 1 is the rapid transport of the toilets and showers to a precise place for a definite or indefinite period of time. The mobile toilets and showers are fully equipped with suitably tailored plumbing and electrical installations which are connected to public or private supplies. They can thereby adequately aid the social need for cleanliness, hygiene and health factors covering all outdoor gatherings (encampments of homeless, earthquake victims, refugees), beaches, tourist sites and wherever there is a social need.
The private mobile toilets and showers with use of public or private supplies have the characteristic that they can be installed for a definite or indefinite period of time to a certain area where the special manhole has been provided for.

Figure 1 : Shows the method of connecting the toilets and showers to the public or private supplies, the vertical incision of the road, pavement and manhole, the impervious distinctive frame between water and sewage pipes in the manhole as well as the back view of the toilets and showers.
Figure 2 : Shows the ground plan of the toilets and showers with the relevant equipment
Figure 3 : shows the side view of the toilets and showers and one of the methods of transportation.

The method of adjustments of this invention as well as its modifications are analyzed in detail with references to the diagrams as following :

Figure 1 : Impervious distinctive frame 22 inside the manhole between the water supply and the sewage connection. The selective pipe 19 of the mobile toilets and showers 16, is connected with a double collar 5 with the flexible pipe 4, which is thereby connected with a double collar 3, removing the airtight top 21, inside the manhole 11, through concrete wall 12, with the pipe 2 directly to the central sewage 1. The water supply starts from the main pipe 17 with a supply pipe 6, into the manhole 11 through the gauge 7 connected through a flexible pipe 9, with the connecting switch 8, ends up to the main water distribution pipe 18, in the toilets and showers 16, connected by a screwing damp 10. Electricity supply 20. Road 15, cast iron manhole cover 13, near the curb 14.
