Definitions

  • This invention relates to water receptacles and washing arrangements incorporating same.
  • Water particularly potable water
  • Water in this region is considered to be the most critical natural resource because these countries lie in arid regions of the world.
  • Several countries in the region are currently suffering from water scarcity due to increased demand resulting from population growth, higher standards of living, urbanisation and economic growth rates. This situation is very likely to affect all countries in the region in the near future.
  • Wodou and Ghusl are important Muslim practices which relate to washing.
  • Wodou is an ablution procedure which is obligatory whilst performing all prayers, including the five daily prayers.
  • the majority of practicing Moslems perform Wodou, some five times a day.
  • a Wodou involves washing of the hands, mouth, nose (nostrils), face, arms, wiping of the head and ears, and both feet with handfuls of water.
  • Wodou one is required to recite certain Islamic texts and remember given phrases, with the result that a typical Wodou may take some minutes.
  • With running water facilities a considerable amount of water goes to waste during the practice, since only handfuls of water are collected and used at each washing step.
  • Ghusl is a practice where the whole body is wiped with handfuls of clean water. It is performed by practicing Moslems every Friday before the Friday midday prayer. In addition, Ghusl is required after sexual intercourse and nocturnal emissions. Therefore, the average Moslem would be expected to perform Ghusl several times a week.
  • the Prophet Mohammed urged his followers to use water sparingly and with care when performing Wodou and Ghusl.
  • the use of the limited quantities of water known as Moud and Sa'a is not an obligatory requirement for Moslems, and often, even with the best of intentions, water is wasted or, at least, the use is not optimised.
  • mosques provide Wodou facilities so that several individuals may use stretches of water drainage canals supplied with many water taps for use by individual users. In such facilities, water runs continuously during Wodou and often unattended. It represents a major waste of water.
  • the present invention addresses the above named problems, disadvantages and considerations.
  • the present invention provides articles which have the practical effect of enabling water wastage to be reduced, and the more spiritual effect of aiding Moslems to adhere to or follow the Sunna to as close a degree as is practically possible.
  • a wash basin having a washing arrangement according to claim 1 or a bath-tub having a washing arrangement according to claim 4.
  • the receptacle adapted to hold a body of water and having indicator means for indicating when the volume of water held in the receptacle is equal to a volume i) in the range 688 to 757cm 3 , preferably 688 to 697cm 3 , most preferably about 689cm 3 , and/or ii) in the range 2752 to 3028cm 3 , preferably 2752 to 2786cm 3 , most preferably about 2757cm 3 .
  • receptacles having indicator means indicating when the volume of water held in the receptacle is equal to volume i) as defined above are termed Moud receptacles
  • receptacles having indicator means indicating when the volume of water held in the receptacle is equal to the volume ii) as defined above are termed Sa'a receptacles.
  • the indicator means may comprise a marking on the receptacle equivalent to a volume i) as defined above, and/or ii), as defined above.
  • the capacity of the receptacle may be equal to a volume i), as defined above, or ii) as defined above, and the indicator means may comprise a water releasing feature of the receptacle which releases water once the receptacle is filled to capacity.
  • the water releasing feature may be a hole, a spout or even the top of a perimeter wall of the receptacle.
  • the width of the receptacle may exceed its depth. Such arrangements are convenient for washing purposes, allowing easy movement of the hand.
  • the receptacle may have the word Moud disposed thereon.
  • the receptacle may have the word Sa'a disposed thereon.
  • the words Moud and Sa'a need not be written in English - other languages might be used.
  • the receptacle may comprise one or more gripping portions disposed near to the top of the receptacle, preferably on an upper surface thereof.
  • the gripping portions may comprise handles.
  • the washing arrangement of the wash basin or of the bath tub of the invention comprises
  • a receptacles housing adapted to receive the receptacle and being integral with the wash basin or bath tub.
  • the receptacle housing may comprise a recessed region to receive the receptacle, the recessed region generally conforming to the external shape of the receptacle.
  • Such receptacle housings provide a convenient and aesthetically pleasing way of stowing the receptacle.
  • Figure 1 shows an example of a Moud receptacle 10.
  • the receptacle is adapted to hold a body of water and has a marking 12 thereon indicating when the volume of water held in the receptacle 10 is equal to 688cm 3 .
  • the user can ensure the amount of water is equal to (or very nearly equal to) a Moud.
  • Wodou can be performed in a manner faithful to the teachings of Hadith, using a minimal amount of water.
  • a Moud is 688 grams and a Sa'a is 2752 grams.
  • the correct weight of water could be used by pouring water into a weight measuring arrangement. However, such an arrangement would be cumbersome and unnecessarily complicated.
  • consideration is made of the correct volume of water. To obtain these volumes, the density of water must be known. However, the density of water is temperature dependent (and to a lesser degree pressure dependent). Table 1 shows the variation of the density of water between 0 and 50°C at a pressure of 1 atmosphere. Also, Table 1 shows the volumes of water which are equivalent to a Moud and a Sa'a at these temperatures. Table 1.
  • volumes considered useful in the context of the present invention range from the Moud and Sa'a volumes at 0°C to volumes which are greater by 10%, ie, from 688 to 757cm 3 in the case of a Moud and from 2752 to 3028cm 3 in the case of a Sa'a.
  • the volume range 688 to 697cm 3 in the case of a Moud (and 2752 to 2786cm 3 in the case of a Sa'a) are considered particularly useful since they correspond to temperatures in the temperature range 0 to 50°C, which is the range in which most washing takes place.
  • Volumes corresponding to room temperature (20 °C), ie, 689cm 3 and 2757cm 3 for a Moud and Sa'a, respectively, are possibly most useful.
  • a single marking corresponding to a single volume is used, it is possible to dispose a number of markings relating to the relevant volumes on a receptacle. For example, three separate marking might be used to indicate desired volumes corresponding to 'cold', 'warm' and 'hot' water. -
  • the receptacle 10 of Figure 1 further comprises handles 14, 16 and a lip 18.
  • the lip 18 assists in pouring water held in the receptacle 10.
  • a large Sa'a receptacle can be provided having a capacity in excess of 2752 cm 3 , and having a marking indicating when a volume of water equal to 2752 cm 3 is present in the receptacle.
  • a receptacle can be used to store an amount of water equal to (or very nearly equal to) a Sa'a, and can be advantageously used in conjunction with Ghusl.
  • the receptacles especially Moud receptacles, are spacious in shape so as to allow easy movement of the hand within the receptacle.
  • FIG. 2 shows a washing arrangement (generally shown at 20), which is not part of the invention, comprising a Sa'a receptacle 22 and a receptacle housing 24 adapted to receive the receptacle 22.
  • the receptacle housing 24 comprises a recessed region 24a to receive the Moud receptacle 22, the recessed region 24a generally confirming to the external shape of the Sa'a receptacle 22.
  • Similar arrangements can be provided to house Moud receptacles.
  • Such washing arrangements can be conveniently positioned at desired locations, such as within bathrooms.
  • the receptacle housing provides a convenient way of storing the receptacle in between uses, and the combination of receptacle and receptacle housing in the washing arrangement can be designed so as to have aesthetic appeal.
  • the receptacle housing can be provided with a drain outlet to aid cleaning.
  • the receptacle 22 has a lip 22a to aid pouring of water held therein.
  • FIG 3 shows a shower facility, which is not part of the invention, comprising a shower 30, a shower cubicle 32 and a washing arrangement 34.
  • the washing arrangement 34 comprises a Sa'a receptacle 34a and a receptacle housing 34b.
  • the washing arrangement 34 is generally similar to the arrangement 20 shown in Figure 2 , although in the case of the embodiment shown in Figure 3 the lower outer surface of the receptacle housing 34b is generally shaped in accordance with the shape of the lower outer surface of the receptacle 34a. This affords quite an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
  • the shower 30 might be used to introduce water to the receptacle 34a.
  • FIG 4 shows a bath tub 40, which is not part of the invention, having the washing arrangement 34 which is depicted in Figure 3 .
  • a shower 42 is also provided.
  • FIG. 5 shows a wash basin 50 having a Moud receptacle 52.
  • the Moud receptacle 52 has the appropriate line mark depicting the volume of 688cm 3 (not shown) and a lip 52a to facilitate pouring of water.
  • the basin 50 is of the type having hot and cold taps. The taps are not shown in Figure 5 in order to simplify the appearance of this Figure; however taps can be disposed at the locations 54, 56.
  • the wash basin 50 comprises an integral receptacle housing 58 in which the Moud receptacle 52 resides.
  • the housing receptacle might be positioned to one side of the basin, rather than centrally, if the wash basin is of the type having a central mixer tap.
  • Bath tubs are provided having housing receptacles integral therewith.
  • Receptacles and receptacle housings can be fabricated from any convenient materials, such as ceramics, plastics or metal. Washing arrangements can be conveniently positioned against walls using conventional fixing means such as bolts, screws, pins and adhesive.
