Abstract

The invention relates to a toilet construction comprising at least two adjacent toilet cubicles which respectively have a toilet and an access opening which can be closed by means of a door, said toilet cubicles being separated by means of a partition. According to the invention, the partition can be displaced between a separating position in which it separates the toilet cubicles from each other, and an unblocking position in which the two toilet cubicles together form an individual toilet cubicle. Alternatively, the partition can be displaced essentially perpendicularly to its wall plane in a shifted position in which the floor space of one toilet cubicle is enlarged and the floor space of the other toilet cubicle is reduced.

Description

Toilettenanlage toilet facility
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Toilettenanlage mit zumindest zwei nebeneinander angeordneten Toilettenkabinen, die jeweils ein Toilettenbecken und eine mittels einer Tür ver- schließbare Zugangsöffnung aufweisen und die durch eine Trennwand voneinander getrennt sind.The invention relates to a toilet installation with at least two toilet cabins arranged next to one another, each having a toilet bowl and an access opening which can be closed by a door and which are separated from one another by a partition.
Toilettenanlagen der genannten Art mit mehreren Toilettenkabinen finden sich insbesondere an Orten, an denen eine relativ große Anzahl von Menschen eine Toilette benutzen möchte, wie beispielsweise in öffentlichen Gebäuden, Restaurants, Bahnhöfen, Flughäfen, bei Veranstaltungen etc.. Um den vorhandenen Bauraum möglichst gut auszunützen und eine große Anzahl von Toilettenkabinen vorzusehen, besitzen die einzelnen Toilettenkabinen in der Regel eine relativ geringe Grundfläche. Diese ist zwar für nicht behinderte Menschen ausreichend, jedoch ist es Rollstuhlfahrern üblicherweise nicht möglich, mit dem Rollstuhl in eine Toilettenkabine hineinzufahren und die Toilette zu benutzen. Für Rollstuhlfahrer wird deshalb ein zusätzlicher behindertengerechter Toilettenraum als separate, räumlich getrennte Einrichtung vorgesehen, was von Rollstuhlfahrern in vielen Fallen als Ausgrenzung und Stigmatisierung empfunden wird. Ein behindertenσerechter Toilettenraum benötigt eine relativ große Grundfläche, da der Rollstuhlfahrer die Möglichkeit haben muss, mit seinem Rollstuhl sowohl vor dem Toi- lettenbecken in einfacher Weise zu rangieren als auch den Rollstuhl wahlweise rechts oder links neben das Toilettenbecken zu stellen, um dann aus dem Rollstuhl auf das Toilettenbecken umsteigen zu können. Aufgrund des großen Platzbedarfs ist die Integration eines behindertengerechten Toilettenraums in eine herkömmliche Toilettenanlage in vielen Fällen unerwünscht, da dadurch die Anzahl an Toilettenkabinen verringert wird. Auf diese Weise ist eine effiziente Raumnutzung nicht gegeben, zumal es sich gezeigt hat, dass ein behindertengerechter Toilettenraum relativ selten genutzt wird.Toilets of the type mentioned with several toilet cubicles are found in particular in places where a relatively large number of people want to use a toilet, such as in public buildings, restaurants, train stations, airports, at events, etc. In order to make the best possible use of the available space and to provide a large number of toilet cubicles, the individual toilet cubicles usually have a relatively small footprint. Although this is sufficient for people with no disabilities, it is usually not possible for wheelchair users to use a wheelchair to enter a toilet cubicle and use the toilet. For wheelchair users, therefore, an additional handicapped accessible toilet room is provided as a separate, spatially separate facility, which many wheelchair users find Falling is perceived as exclusion and stigmatization. A handicapped accessible toilet space requires a relatively large footprint, since the wheelchair user must be able to maneuver his wheelchair in front of the toilet bowl in a simple manner and to place the wheelchair either to the right or left of the toilet bowl and then out of the wheelchair to be able to switch to the toilet bowl. Due to the large amount of space required, the integration of a disabled toilet space in a conventional toilet facility is undesirable in many cases, since this reduces the number of toilet cubicles. In this way, there is no efficient use of space, especially since it has been shown that a toilet room suitable for the disabled is used relatively rarely.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Toilettenanlage der genannten Art zu schaffen, in die ein behindertengerechter Toilettenraum bei gleichzeitig effizienter Raumausnutzung integriert ist.The invention has for its object to provide a toilet system of the type mentioned, in which a disabled toilet space is integrated with efficient use of space.
Diese Aufgabe wird in einer ersten erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltung der Toilettenanlage dadurch gelöst, dass die Trennwand zwischen einer Trennstellung, in der sie die Toi- lettenkabinen voneinander trennt, und einer Freigabestellung verstellbar ist, in der die beiden Toilettenkabinen zusammen einen einzelnen Toilettenraum bilden.This object is achieved in a first embodiment of the toilet system according to the invention in that the partition between an isolating position in which it separates the toilet cubicles from one another and a release position in which the two toilet cubicles together form a single toilet space can be adjusted.
Die Erfindung geht von der Grundüberlegung aus, den behin- dertengerechten Toilettenraum nicht als separate Einrichtung vorzuhalten, sondern im Bedarfsfall zwei übliche Toilettenkabinen zu einem großflächigen behindertengerechten Toilettenraum zu verbinden, indem die die Toilettenkabinen voneinander trennende Trennwand verstellt, verfahren oder entfernt wird. Solange sich die Trennwand in ihrer Trenn- Stellung befindet, können die Toilettenkabinen in herkömmlicher Weise genutzt werden. Falls ein Rollstuhlfahrer eine Toilette benutzen möchte, kann er die Trennwand zwischen den beiden Toilettenkabinen durch eine vorzugsweise auf der Außenseite der Toilettenkabinen angeordnete Betätigungseinrichtung verstellen. Vor Initiierung der Verstellbewegung wird überprüft, ob beide Toilettenkabinen frei sind. Nach der Verstellung der Trennwand steht dem Rollstuhlfahrer ein einzelner Toilettenraum zur Verfügung, der die Gesamt- Grundfläche der beiden Toilettenkabinen besitzt und zweiThe invention is based on the basic idea of not providing the disabled toilet space as a separate facility, but rather, if necessary, connecting two conventional toilet cabins to form a large disabled toilet space by adjusting, moving or removing the partition wall separating the toilet cabins. As long as the partition is in its partition Position, the toilet cubicles can be used in a conventional manner. If a wheelchair user wants to use a toilet, he can adjust the partition between the two toilet cabins by means of an actuating device which is preferably arranged on the outside of the toilet cabins. Before initiating the adjustment movement, it is checked whether both toilet cubicles are free. After adjusting the partition, the wheelchair user has a single toilet room that has the total area of the two toilet cabins and two
Toilettenbecken aufweist. Die Toilettenbecken sind dabei so angeordnet, dass der Rollstuhlfahrer mit seinem Rollstuhl in einfacher Weise rechts neben das eine Toilettenbecken oder links neben das andere Toilettenbecken fahren kann. Auf diese Weise ist es dem Rollstuhlfahrer möglich, dasjenige Toilettenbecken auszuwählen, auf das er aus seinem Rollstuhl in für ihn bequemer Weise nach rechts oder links übersetzen kann. Sobald der Rollstuhlfahrer den Toiletten- räum verlassen hat, kehrt die Trennwand vorzugsweise selbsttätig in ihre Trennstellung zurück, so dass dann wieder zwei unabhängige Toilettenkabinen zur Benutzung von nicht behinderten Menschen zur Verfügung stehen.Has toilet bowl. The toilet bowls are arranged so that the wheelchair user can easily drive to the right of one toilet bowl or left of the other toilet bowl with his wheelchair. In this way it is possible for the wheelchair user to select the toilet bowl on which he can translate from his wheelchair to the right or left in a manner which is convenient for him. As soon as the wheelchair user has left the toilet room, the partition preferably returns automatically to its separation position, so that two independent toilet cabins are again available for the use of non-disabled people.
Um dem Rollstuhlfahrer das Einfahren in den Toilettenraum zu ermöglichen, sind die beiden Zugangsöffnungen der beiden nebeneinanderliegenden Toilettenkabinen vorzugsweise unmittelbar nebeneinander angeordnet und nur durch die Trennwand unterteilt. Wenn sich die Trennwand in ihrer Freigabestellung befindet', bilden die beiden Zugangsöffnungen zusammen eine einzelne, vergrößerte Zugangsöffnung doppelter Breite, die dem Rollstuhlfahrer den Zugang i-n den Toilettenraum erleichtert.In order to enable the wheelchair user to enter the toilet room, the two access openings of the two adjacent toilet cubicles are preferably arranged directly next to one another and only divided by the partition. When the partition is in its release position ', the two access openings together form a single, enlarged access opening of double width, which facilitates access in the toilet room for the wheelchair user.
Die Verstellung der Trennwand kann auf vielerlei verschie- dene Arten erfolgen. In einer möglichen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Trennwand aus mehreren vertikalen, nebeneinander angeordneten Wandelementen gebildet ist, die jeweils um eine vertikale Achse schwenkbar sind. Dabei können die Wandelemente gelenkig miteinander verbunden sein, so dass eine Faltwand gebildet ist. Bei der Verstellung der Trennwand aus der Trennstellung in die Freigabestellung werden die einzelnen Wandelemente so relativ zueinander verschwenkt, dass sie aufeinander gestapelt sind.The partition can be adjusted in many different ways. In a possible embodiment of the According to the invention, the partition wall is formed from a plurality of vertical wall elements arranged next to one another, each of which can be pivoted about a vertical axis. The wall elements can be connected to one another in an articulated manner, so that a folding wall is formed. When the partition is moved from the separation position into the release position, the individual wall elements are pivoted relative to one another in such a way that they are stacked on top of one another.
Damit der aus den Wandelementen gebildete Stapel in der Freigabestellung der Trennwand die Benutzung des Toiletten - raumes nicht behindert, sollte er in der Freigabestellung an einer Seitenwand des Toilettenraums anliegen oder in ei - ner Nische des Toilettenraums aufgenommen sein. Die Nische kann durch eine selbsttätig schließende Tür abgedeckt sein, um Manipulationen an der mechanischen Verstellkonstruktion der Trennwand auszuschließen.So that the stack formed from the wall elements in the release position of the partition does not hinder the use of the toilet room, it should lie against a side wall of the toilet room in the release position or be accommodated in a niche in the toilet room. The niche can be covered by an automatically closing door to prevent tampering with the mechanical adjustment structure of the partition.
In einer alternativen Ausgestaltung kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Trennwand aus mehreren horizontalen, übereinander angeordneten Wandelementen gebildet ist, die jeweils um eine horizontale Achse schwenkbar sind. Auch hierbei können die Wandelemente unter Bildung einer vertikal öffnenden Faltwand gelenkig miteinander verbunden sein und liegen vorzugsweise in der Freigabestellung der Trennwand in einem Stapel aufeinander. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Wandelemente in der Freigabestellung der Trennwand im De¬ ckenbereich des Toilettenraums angeordnet sind, da sie dann die Bewegungsmöglichkeiten des Rollstuhlfahrers in dem Toi¬ lettenraum nicht behindern. Statt einer vertikal öffnenden Faltwand kann auch eine Wand nach Art eines vertikal öffnenden und zu schließenden Rolltores mit einer Vielzahl von horizontalen Lamellen vorgesehen sein, die auf einer im De- ckenbereich des Toilettenraums angeordneten Wickelachse aufgewickelt werden können. Damit die Trennwand in ihrer Trennstellung eine ausreichende Stabilität besitzt, sollten die übereinanderliegenden Wandelemente bzw. Lamellen in der Trennstellung der Trennwand miteinander in Eingriff stehen, wodurch eine gegenseitige Verschiebung der Wandelemente senkrecht zur Wandebene verhindert ist.In an alternative embodiment it can be provided that the partition wall is formed from a plurality of horizontal wall elements arranged one above the other, each of which can be pivoted about a horizontal axis. Here, too, the wall elements can be connected to one another in an articulated manner to form a vertically opening folding wall and preferably lie one on top of the other in a stack in the release position of the partition wall. It is particularly advantageous when the wall elements of the toilet room arranged in the release position of the partition wall in the De ¬ thickness range because they will not hinder the possibilities of movement of the wheelchair user in the Toi ¬ crisps space. Instead of a vertically opening folding wall, a wall in the manner of a vertically opening and closing roller door with a plurality of horizontal slats can be provided, which are arranged on a winding axis arranged in the ceiling area of the toilet room can be wound up. So that the partition wall has sufficient stability in its separation position, the superimposed wall elements or slats should be in engagement with one another in the separation position of the partition wall, thereby preventing mutual displacement of the wall elements perpendicular to the wall plane.
In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Trennwand in ihrer Gesamtheit im wesent- liehen in ihrer Wandebene verfahrbar ist und durch eine Seitenwand der Toilettenkabinen bzw. des Toilettenraumes hindurch in eine Stellung außerhalb des Toilettenraums verfahren wird. Dabei kann die Trennwand als einstückige Platte ausgebildet sein. Diese Ausgestaltung bringt den Vorteil mit sich, dass die Trennwand nicht in verschiedene Wandelemente unterteilt sein muss und somit eine hohe Stabilität besitzt, jedoch erfordert die Anordnung der Trennwand außerhalb des Toilettenraums dort einen entsprechenden Bau- raum.In a further embodiment of the invention, it can be provided that the partition as a whole can be moved essentially in its wall plane and is moved through a side wall of the toilet cubicles or the toilet room to a position outside the toilet room. The partition can be designed as a one-piece plate. This configuration has the advantage that the partition does not have to be subdivided into different wall elements and thus has a high degree of stability, but the arrangement of the partition outside the toilet room requires an appropriate installation space there.
Alternativ kann die Trennwand auch aus einer Vielzahl vertikaler, nebeneinander angeordneter Lamellen gebildet sein, die relativ zueinander schwenkbar sind und auf der Außenseite des Toilettenraums um ca. 90° umgelenkt werden, so dass die Trennwand in ihrer Freigabesteilung außerhalb des Toilettenraums einen nur geringen Bauraum benötigt.Alternatively, the partition wall can also be formed from a plurality of vertical slats arranged side by side, which can be pivoted relative to one another and are deflected by approximately 90 ° on the outside of the toilet room, so that the partition wall requires only a small installation space outside the toilet room ,
In Weiterbildung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Trennwand aus einer Vielzahl vertikaler, nebeneinander angeordneter Lamellen gebildet ist und auf der Außenseite des Toilettenraums auf einem vertikalen Wickeldorn aufwickelbar ist. In diesem Fall ist die Trennwand wie ein vertikal öffnendes und zu schließendes Rolltor mit vertikalen Lamellen ausgestaltet. Die vorgenannten Ausgestaltungen gehen von der Grundidee aus, den behindertengerechter Toilettenraum nach Verstellung der Trennwand aus den beiden nebeneinander liegenden Toilettenkabinen zu bilden. In alternativer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird die oben genannte Aufgabe auch dadurch gelöst, dass die Trennwand im wesentlichen senkrecht zu ihrer Wandebene in eine verschobene Stellung verstellbar ist, in der die Grundfläche der einen Toilettenkabine vergrößert und die Grundfläche der anderen Toilettenkabine verkleinert ist. Der Toilettenraum umfasst hierbei die Grundfläche einer Toilettenkabine und zusätzlich einen Teil der Grundfläche der anderen Toilettenkabine, da die Trennwand zwischen den beiden Toilettenkabinen nicht entfernt, sondern nur seitlich versetzt wird.In a further development of the invention it can be provided that the partition is formed from a plurality of vertical slats arranged side by side and can be wound on a vertical winding mandrel on the outside of the toilet room. In this case, the partition is designed as a vertically opening and closing roller shutter with vertical slats. The above-mentioned configurations are based on the basic idea of forming the handicapped accessible toilet space after adjusting the partition from the two adjacent toilet cubicles. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the above-mentioned object is also achieved in that the partition wall can be adjusted into a displaced position substantially perpendicular to its wall plane, in which the base area of one toilet cubicle is enlarged and the base area of the other toilet cubicle is reduced. In this case, the toilet room comprises the base area of a toilet cubicle and, in addition, part of the base area of the other toilet cubicle, since the partition between the two toilet cubicles is not removed, but is only offset laterally.
Wenn die einzelnen Toilettenkabinen groß genug sind, kann die seitliche Verschiebung der Trennwand zu einem behindertengerechten Toilettenraum führen, der die entsprechenden räumlichen Anforderungen erfüllt.If the individual toilet cubicles are large enough, the lateral displacement of the partition wall can lead to a disabled toilet space that meets the corresponding spatial requirements.
Das Toilettenbecken in dem durch seitliches Verfahren der Trennwand gebildeten Toilettenraum kann so angeordnet sein, dass für den Rollstuhlfahrer auf beiden Seiten des Toilet- tenbeckens ausreichend Platz ist, um seinen Rollstuhl wahlweise rechts oder links von dem Toilettenbecken zu platzieren. In der Regel ist ein entsprechender Platz in den Toilettenkabinen jedoch nicht gegeben. In Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist deshalb vorgesehen, dass die Trennwand wahl- weise in entgegengesetzte Richtungen verstellt werden kann. Der Rollstuhlfahrer kann somit wahlweise durch entsprechende Betätigung der außerhalb der Toilettenkabinen angeordne¬ ten Betätigungseinrichtung entweder die eine Toilettenkabi¬ ne durch Verfahren der Trennwand zu dem Toilettenraum er- weitern oder auch die Trennwand in die entgegengesetzte Richtung verfahren, so dass die andere Toilettenkabine zu dem Toilettenraum erweitert wird. Dabei sind die Toilettenbecken in den Toilettenkabinen so angeordnet, dass bei einem Toilettenbecken auf der rechten Seite und bei dem ande- ren Toilettenbecken auf der linken Seite ausreichend Platz für einen Rollstuhl ist. Der Rollstuhlfahrer kann also durch Auswahl der Verstellrichtung der Trennwand entscheiden, ob er einen Toilettenraum nutzen möchte, bei dem er von der rechten oder von der linken Seite aus dem Rollstuhl auf das Toilettenbecken übersetzen kann.The toilet bowl in the toilet room formed by moving the partition sideways can be arranged so that there is sufficient space for the wheelchair user on both sides of the toilet bowl to place his wheelchair either to the right or left of the toilet bowl. As a rule, however, there is no corresponding space in the toilet cubicles. In a further development of the invention, it is therefore provided that the partition can be adjusted in opposite directions. The wheelchair user can thus, by appropriate actuation of the actuating device arranged outside the toilet cubicles, either expand the one toilet cubicle by moving the partition wall to the toilet room or also the partition wall in the opposite Move in the direction so that the other toilet cubicle is extended to the toilet room. The toilet bowls in the toilet cubicles are arranged so that there is enough space for a wheelchair in one toilet bowl on the right and in the other toilet bowl on the left. By selecting the adjustment direction of the partition, the wheelchair user can therefore decide whether he wants to use a toilet room in which he can translate the wheelchair onto the toilet bowl from the right or left side.
Auch bei dieser Ausgestaltung der Toilettenanlage kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Zugangsöffnungen der Toilettenkabinen unmittelbar nebeneinander angeordnet sind und in der verschobenen Stellung der Trennwand zusammen eine einzelne, vergrößerte Zugangsöffnung bilden, die dem Rollstuhlfahrer den Zugang in den Toilettenraum erleichtert. In dieser Stellung ist diejenige Toilettenkabine, die in ihren Abmessungen durch Verfahren der Trennwand verkleinert wurde, nicht mehr zugänglich, da ihre Zugangsöffnung Teil der vergrößerten Zugangsöffnung des Toilettenraums ist.In this embodiment of the toilet system, too, it can be provided that the access openings of the toilet cubicles are arranged directly next to one another and, in the displaced position of the partition, together form a single, enlarged access opening which facilitates access for the wheelchair user into the toilet room. In this position, the toilet cubicle that has been reduced in size by moving the partition is no longer accessible, since its access opening is part of the enlarged access opening of the toilet room.

Die Fig. 1, 2 und 3 zeigen in perspektivische Darstellung eine Toiletteanlage 10, die zwei nebeneinander angeordnete Toilettenkabinen 11 umfasst. Jede Toilettenkabine 11 besitzt ein Toilettenbecken 12, dem ein seitlicher, klappbarer Haltegriff 16 zugeordnet ist. In einer Nische jeder Toilettenkabine 11 ist eine nicht näher dargestellte Wasch- einrichtung 13 mit einem Waschbecken, Händetrockner, Spiegel und Seifenspender vorgesehen. Die beiden Toilettenkabinen 11 sind durch eine Trennwand 15 voneinander getrennt und besitzen jeweils eine Zugangsöffnung 19, die von einer Tür 14 verschließbar ist, die im dargestellten Ausführungs- beispiel als Schiebetür ausgebildet ist. Die Zugangsöffnungen 19 der beiden Toilettenkabinen 11 liegen unmittelbar nebeneinander und sind nur durch die Trennwand 15 unterteilt.1, 2 and 3 show a perspective view of a toilet installation 10, the two arranged side by side Includes toilet cubicles 11. Each toilet cubicle 11 has a toilet bowl 12 to which a side, foldable handle 16 is assigned. In a niche of each toilet cubicle 11 there is a washing device 13 (not shown in more detail) with a sink, hand dryer, mirror and soap dispenser. The two toilet cubicles 11 are separated from one another by a partition 15 and each have an access opening 19 which can be closed by a door 14 which, in the exemplary embodiment shown, is designed as a sliding door. The access openings 19 of the two toilet cubicles 11 lie directly next to one another and are only divided by the partition 15.
Das Toilettenbecken 12 der gemäß Fig. 1 linken Toilettenkabine 11 ist an der der Trennwand 15 entgegengesetzten Seitenwand so angeordnet, dass für einen auf dem Toilettenbecken 12 sitzenden Benutzer auf der rechten Seite vor der dortigen Wascheinrichtung 13 ein ausreichender seitlicher Raum für die Anordnung eines Rollstuhls gebildet ist. Bei der gemäß Fig. 1 rechten Toilettenkabine 11 ist das Toilettenbecken 12 ebenfalls an der der mittleren Trennwand 15 gegenüberliegenden Seitenwand so angebracht, dass für einen auf das Toilettenbecken 12 sitzenden Benutzer auf seiner linken Seite vor der dortigen Wascheinrichtung 13 ein ausreichender seitlicher Raum für die Anordnung eines Roll- stuhls gegeben ist.The toilet bowl 12 of the left-hand toilet cubicle 11 according to FIG. 1 is arranged on the side wall opposite the partition 15 in such a way that a sufficient lateral space for the arrangement of a wheelchair is formed for a user sitting on the toilet bowl 12 on the right side in front of the washing device 13 there is. 1, the toilet bowl 12 is also attached to the side wall opposite the middle partition 15 in such a way that for a user sitting on the toilet bowl 12 on his left side in front of the washing device 13 there is sufficient lateral space for the arrangement a wheelchair.
Die Trennwand 15 ist in dem dargestellten Ausführungsbei- spiel aus zwei vertikalen, nebeneinander angeordneten Wandelementen 15a und 15b gebildet. Das Wandelement 15a liegt auf seiner den Zugangsöffnungen 19 zugewandten Seite an den Türen 14 an und ist an seiner entgegengesetzten, im wesentlichen in der Mitte der Trennwand 15 angeordneten Seite um eine vertikale Achse V2 gelenkig an dem anderen Wandelement 15b gelenkig angeschlossen, das seinerseits an seiner entgegengesetzten Seite um eine vertikale Achse Vi gelenkig und verschieblich an der gemeinsamen Rückwand 18 der Toilettenkabinen 11 gelagert ist. Auf diese Weise ist eine aus zwei Wandelementen 15a, 15b bestehende Faltwand gebildet.In the exemplary embodiment shown, the partition wall 15 is formed from two vertical wall elements 15a and 15b arranged next to one another. The wall element 15a abuts the doors 14 on its side facing the access openings 19 and is articulated on the opposite wall element on its opposite side, which is arranged essentially in the middle of the partition 15, about a vertical axis V 2 15b connected in an articulated manner, which is in turn articulated and displaceable on its opposite side about a vertical axis Vi on the common rear wall 18 of the toilet cubicles 11. In this way, a folding wall consisting of two wall elements 15a, 15b is formed.
Auf der Außenseite der Toilettenkabinen 11 ist jeweils eine Anzeige 17 angeordnet, die einer außenstehenden Person anzeigt, ob die jeweilige Toilettenkabine 11 belegt oder frei ist. Zumindest einer der Anzeigen 17 ist eine Betätigungs - einrichtung 17a zugeordnet. Mit Hilfe der Betätigungseinrichtung 17a kann ein Rollstuhlfahrer die Trennwand 15 aus der Trennstellung gemäß Fig. 1, in der sie die beiden Toilettenkabinen 11 voneinander trennt, in eine Freigabestel - lung gemäß Fig. 3 verfahren, in der die beiden Wandelemente 15a und 15b vollflächig aufeinanderliegen und darüber hinaus an der Rückwand 18 im Bereich zwischen den Haltegriffen 16 anliegen. Wie die Fig. 1, 2 und 3 zeigen, schwenkt das Wandelement 15a bei der Verstellung um die vertikale Achse V2 relativ zu dem Wandelement 15b, das seinerseits um die vertikale Achse Vi an der Rückwand 18 schwenkt und gleichzeitig entlang der Rückwand.18 seitlich verschoben wird. In der Freigabestellung der Trennwand 15 gemäß Fig. 3 ist ein einzelner Toilettenraum 11' gebildet, der die Grundfläche der beiden Toilettenkabinen 11 umfasst und eine einzelne, vergrößerte Zugangsöffnung 19' besitzt, die aus der Zusammenfassung der beiden nebeneinanderliegenden Zugangsöffnungen 19 der Toilettenkabinen gebildet ist. Ein Rollstuhlfahrer kann durch die vergrößerte Zugangsöffnung 19' in einfa- eher Weise in den Toilettenraum 11' einfahren und hat dann zwei unterschiedlich angeordnete Toilettenbecken 12 zur Auswahl, neben denen er seinen Rollstuhl platzieren kann. Wenn er seinen Rollstuhl neben dem gemäß Fig. 3 linke Toilettenbecken 12 platziert, kann er aus dem Rollstuhl nach links auf das Toilettenbecken 12 übersetzen, während er aus dem Rollstuhl nach rechts auf das Toilettenbecken 12 übersetzen kann, wenn er seinen Rollstuhl neben dem gemäß Fig. 3 rechten Toilettenbecken 12 platziert.A display 17 is arranged on the outside of the toilet cubicles 11, which indicates to an outside person whether the respective toilet cubicle 11 is occupied or free. An actuating device 17a is assigned to at least one of the displays 17. With the help of the actuating device 17a, a wheelchair user can move the partition 15 from the separation position according to FIG. 1, in which it separates the two toilet cubicles 11 from one another, into a release position according to FIG. 3, in which the two wall elements 15a and 15b lie one on top of the other and also rest against the rear wall 18 in the area between the handles 16. 1, 2 and 3 show, the wall element 15a pivots during the adjustment about the vertical axis V 2 relative to the wall element 15b, which in turn pivots about the vertical axis Vi on the rear wall 18 and at the same time laterally along the rear wall 18 is moved. In the release position of the partition 15 according to FIG. 3, a single toilet room 11 'is formed, which comprises the base area of the two toilet cabins 11 and has a single, enlarged access opening 19' which is formed from the combination of the two adjacent access openings 19 of the toilet cabins. A wheelchair user can easily enter the toilet room 11 'through the enlarged access opening 19' and then has two differently arranged toilet bowls 12 to choose from, next to which he can place his wheelchair. If he places his wheelchair next to the left toilet bowl 12 according to FIG. 3, he can translate from the wheelchair to the left onto the toilet bowl 12 while he is out the wheelchair can translate to the right onto the toilet bowl 12 if he places his wheelchair next to the right toilet bowl 12 according to FIG. 3.
Nach der Benutzung durch einen Rollstuhlfahrer kehrt die Trennwand aus ihrer Freigabestellung gemäß Fig. 3 in ihre Trennstellung gemäß Fig. 1 zurück, so dass im folgenden die beiden Toilettenkabinen 11 wieder unabhängig voneinander in herkömmlicher Weise benutzt werden können.After use by a wheelchair user, the partition returns from its release position according to FIG. 3 to its separation position according to FIG. 1, so that in the following the two toilet cubicles 11 can again be used independently of one another in a conventional manner.
Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß den Fig. 1 bis 3 ist die Trennwand als zweiteilige Faltwand mit vertikalen Falt- oder Schwenkachsen ausgebildet. Fig. 4 zeigt eine Abwandlung der Trennwand 15, bei der ebenfalls zwei Wandelemente 15a, 15b vorgesehen sind, die jedoch unabhängig voneinander jeweils um eine vertikale Längsmittelachse V3 schwenkbar sind und in einer oberen Führung 20 sitzen. Zum Verstellen der Trennwand 15 aus ihrer Trennstellung in die Freigabe- Stellung werden die beiden Wandelemente 15a und 15b jeweils um ihre vertikale Längsmittelachse V3 entsprechend denIn the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 3, the partition wall is designed as a two-part folding wall with vertical folding or swiveling axes. Fig. 4 shows a modification of the partition 15, in which two wall elements 15a, 15b are also provided, but which are each independently pivotable about a vertical longitudinal central axis V 3 and sit in an upper guide 20. To adjust the partition 15 from its separation position into the release position, the two wall elements 15a and 15b are each about their vertical longitudinal central axis V 3 in accordance with the
Pfeilen D um 90° verschwenkt und dann längs der Führung 20 gegen die Rückwand 18 der Toilettenanlage verfahren, so dass sie in der Freigabestellung vollflächig aufeinander- liegend an der Rückwand 18 anliegen und somit in genannter Weise einen vergrößerten Toilettenraum 11' ermöglichen.Arrows D pivoted through 90 ° and then traversing along the guide 20 against the rear wall 18 of the toilet system, so that in the release position they lie on the rear wall 18 over the entire surface and thus enable an enlarged toilet space 11 'in the manner mentioned.
Fig. 5 zeigt eine alternative Ausgestaltung der Trennwand 15, die aus zwei übereinander angeordneten Wandelementen 22 gebildet ist, wobei das untere Wandelement 22 auf seiner Unterseite Eingriffsstifte 21 trägt, die in der Trennstel¬ lung der Trennwand in Ausnehmungen des Bodens der Toilettenanlage eingreifen. Das untere Wandelement 22 ist an seiner Oberseite um eine horizontale Achse H2 schwenkbar mit dem oberen Wandelement 22 verbunden, das seinerseits an seiner Oberseite um eine horizontale Achse Hi schwenkbar an der Decke der Toilettenanlage angebracht ist. Auf diese Weise ist eine in vertikaler Richtung öffnende und schließende Faltwand mit horizontalen Falt- oder Schwenkachsen gebildet .Fig. 5 shows an alternative embodiment of the partition wall 15, which is formed from two superposed wall elements 22, the lower wall member carries on its underside engaging pins 21 22 which engage in the separation Stel ¬ the partition lung in recesses in the bottom of the toilet system, the. The lower wall element 22 is connected on its upper side pivotably about a horizontal axis H 2 to the upper wall element 22, which in turn is pivotable on its upper side about a horizontal axis Hi the ceiling of the toilet facility is attached. In this way, a folding wall that opens and closes in the vertical direction is formed with horizontal folding or pivoting axes.
Während die Faltwand gemäß Fig. 5 nur aus zwei Wandelementen 22 besteht, ist es alternativ möglich, eine Vielzahl von Wandelementen zu verwenden. Die Fig. 6a zeigt eine Trennwand 15, die aus sieben in Querrichtung verlaufenden, ubereinanderliegenden Wandelementen 22 besteht, die jeweils gelenkig und um eine horizontale Achse H schwenkbar aneinander angebracht sind. Wie Fig. 6b zeigt, lassen sich die Wandelemente 22 unter gegenseitiger Schwenkung so anheben, dass sie in der in Fig. 6c gezeigten Freigabestellung einen Stapel bilden, der an der Decke der Toilettenanlage gehalten ist. Der Stapel aus Wandelementen 22 behindert die Rangierfähigkeit des Rollstuhlfahrers innerhalb des Toilettenraums 11' nicht, da er nur um ein relativ geringes Maß von der Decke nach unten hervorsteht.5 consists of only two wall elements 22, it is alternatively possible to use a large number of wall elements. FIG. 6a shows a partition wall 15, which consists of seven transverse wall elements 22 which lie one above the other and are each attached to one another in an articulated manner and pivotable about a horizontal axis H. As FIG. 6b shows, the wall elements 22 can be lifted with mutual pivoting so that in the release position shown in FIG. 6c they form a stack which is held on the ceiling of the toilet system. The stack of wall elements 22 does not hinder the maneuverability of the wheelchair user within the toilet room 11 ', since it only protrudes downward from the ceiling by a relatively small amount.
Falls verhindert werden soll, dass der aus den Wandelementen 22 gebildete Stapel von der Decke der Toilettenanlage nach unten hervorsteht, kann gemäß Fig. 7 ein auf die Toilettenanlage aufgesetzter Speicherkasten 23 vorgesehen sein, in den die Wandelemente 22 angehoben und nach Umlen- kung um 90° seitlich eingeschoben werden, wie es durch die Pfeile E in Fig. 7 angedeutet ist.If the stack formed from the wall elements 22 is to be prevented from protruding downward from the ceiling of the toilet system, a storage box 23 placed on the toilet system can be provided, according to FIG. 7, into which the wall elements 22 are raised and after deflection by 90 ° are inserted laterally, as indicated by the arrows E in Fig. 7.
Die Fig. 8a und 8b zeigen eine Trennwand 15, die in Form eines Rolltores aus einer Vielzahl von gelenkig miteinander verbundenen horizontalen, leistenförmigen Wandelementen 22 besteht, die in bekannter Weise auf eine obenliegende, nur schematisch angedeutete Wickelachse W aufwickelbar sind. Die Wandelemente 22 sind in vertikaler Richtung um ein ge- ringes Maß relativ zueinander verstellbar. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, dass ein nach oben vorstehender Ansatz 22a eines Wandelementes 22 in eine komplementäre untere Ausnehmung 22b des darüber liegenden Wandelementes 22 formschlüssig eingreift (siehe Fig. 8b, linke Darstellung), wodurch die Stabilität der Trennwand 15 in der Trennstellung verbessert ist. Wenn die Wandelemente 22 bei der Verstellung der Trennwand relativ zueinander angehoben werden, kommen sie aus dem gegenseitigen Eingriff frei, wie es auf der rechten Seite der Fig. 8b dargestellt ist, so dass sie sich gut aufwickeln lassen.8a and 8b show a dividing wall 15 which, in the form of a roller door, consists of a plurality of horizontal, strip-shaped wall elements 22 which are connected to one another in an articulated manner and which can be wound up in a known manner on an overlying winding axis W which is only indicated schematically. The wall elements 22 are adjustable in the vertical direction by a small amount relative to one another. In this way it is possible for an upwardly projecting shoulder 22a of a wall element 22 to engage in a form-fitting manner in a complementary lower recess 22b of the wall element 22 lying above it (see FIG. 8b, left representation), which improves the stability of the partition wall 15 in the separation position. If the wall elements 22 are raised relative to one another during the adjustment of the partition wall, they come out of mutual engagement, as is shown on the right-hand side of FIG. 8b, so that they can be easily wound up.
Die Fig. 9a bis 9d zeigen eine Ausgestaltung der Trennwand 15, bei der diese in ihrer Freigabestellung nicht an der Rückwand 18 der Toilettenanlage, sondern an der Seitenwand einer der Toilettenkabinen 11 anliegt. Die Trennwand 15 ist hierbei ebenfalls aus zwei vertikalen, nebeneinander angeordneten Wandelementen 15a und 15b gebildet. Das den Zugangsöffnungen 19 zugewandte Wandelement 15a ist senkrecht zu seiner Wandebene entlang einer Führung 20 verfahrbar und trägt an seinem in der Mitte der Toilettenanlage liegenden Ende das Wandelement 15b, das relativ zum Wandelement 15a um eine vertikale Achse V3 schwenkbar ist. Bei der Verstellung der Trennwand aus der in Fig. 9a dargestellten Trenn¬ stellung verfährt das Wandelement 15a senkrecht zu seiner Wandebene in Querrichtung der Toilettenanlage, während gleichzeitig das Wandelement 15b um die vertikale Achse V3 schwenkt, bis es vollflächig auf dem Wandelement 15a auf¬ liegt. Die beiden Wandelemente 15a und 15b sind in ihrem aufeinanderliegenden Zustand neben dem gemäß Fig. 9d rech- ten Toilettenbecken 12 an der Seitenwand 18' anliegend aufbewahrt, wobei sie die Platzierung des Rollstuhls neben dem Toilettenbecken 12 nicht beeinträchtigen. Um in die Trennstellung zurückzukehren, wird das Wandelement 15 wieder entlang der Führung in seine Ausgangsstellung verfahren, wobei gleichzeitig das Wandelement 15b um die vertikale Achse V3 soweit schwenkt, bis es mit dem Wandelement 15a in einer gemeinsamen Wandebene liegt.9a to 9d show an embodiment of the partition wall 15, in which, in its release position, it does not abut the rear wall 18 of the toilet system, but on the side wall of one of the toilet cubicles 11. The partition 15 is also formed from two vertical wall elements 15a and 15b arranged side by side. The wall element 15a facing the access openings 19 can be moved perpendicular to its wall plane along a guide 20 and carries at its end in the middle of the toilet installation the wall element 15b which can be pivoted about a vertical axis V 3 relative to the wall element 15a. In the adjustment of the partition wall in Fig. 9a shown separating ¬ position, the wall member 15a moves perpendicularly to its wall plane in the transverse direction of the toilet system, while the wall member 15b about the vertical axis V 3 pivots until the full surface of the wall member 15a ¬ lies. In their superimposed state, the two wall elements 15a and 15b are stored adjacent to the toilet bowl 12 on the right according to FIG. 9d, lying against the side wall 18 ', whereby they do not impair the placement of the wheelchair next to the toilet bowl 12. In order to return to the disconnected position, the wall element 15 is again moved along the guide into its starting position, the wall element 15b simultaneously being moved around the vertical Axis V 3 pivots until it lies with the wall element 15a in a common wall plane.
Bei den bisher dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen war die Trennwand aus mehreren relativ zueinander schwenkbaren Einzelteilen aufgebaut. Fig. 10 zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel, bei dem die Trennwand 15 von einem einzelnen Wandelement gebildet ist, das in seiner Wandebene verfahrbar ist, wie es durch den Pfeil A angedeutet ist. Die Trennwand 15 kann durch einen Spalt in der Rückwand 18 der Toilettenanlage aus dem Toilettenraum 11' heraus nach außen verschoben werden, so dass es in der Freigabestellung vollständig außerhalb der Toilettenkabinen bzw. des Toilettenraums angeordnet ist. Auf diese Weise ist eine hohe Stabilität der Trennwand 15 gewährleistet, da diese als einstückiges Bauteil ausgebildet sein kann. Jedoch benötigt sie in ihrer Freigabestellung außerhalb der Toilettenanlage einen rela¬ tiv großen Raum. Dies lässt sich bei der Ausgestaltung gemäß Fig. 11 vermeiden, bei der die Trennwand aus mehreren, um eine vertikale Achse relativ zueinander schwenkbaren Lamellen 24 gebildet ist, die außerhalb der Rückwand 18 mittels einer Umlenkvorrichtung 23 um ca. 90° umgelenkt werden, so dass die Trennwand in ihrer Freigabestellung im wesentlichen parallel zur Rückwand 18 der Toilettenanlage au- ßerhalb von dieser angeordnet ist.In the exemplary embodiments shown so far, the partition was constructed from a plurality of individual parts which can be pivoted relative to one another. Fig. 10 shows an embodiment in which the partition 15 is formed by a single wall element which is movable in its wall plane, as indicated by the arrow A. The partition 15 can be moved out of the toilet room 11 'through a gap in the rear wall 18 of the toilet system, so that it is arranged completely outside the toilet cubicles or the toilet room in the release position. In this way, a high stability of the partition 15 is ensured, since it can be designed as a one-piece component. However, it requires a rela ¬ tively large space in its release position outside the toilet facility. This can be avoided in the embodiment according to FIG. 11, in which the partition is formed from a plurality of slats 24 which can be pivoted relative to one another about a vertical axis and which are deflected outside the rear wall 18 by a deflection device 23 by approximately 90 °, so that the partition in its release position is arranged essentially parallel to the rear wall 18 of the toilet system outside of it.
Die Fig. 12a, 12b und 12c zeigen eine Weiterbildung der Ausgestaltung gemäß Fig. 11. Die aus einer Vielzahl von vertikalen, nebeneinander angeordneten, um eine vertikale Achse relativ zueinander schwenkbaren Lamellen 24 gebildete Trennwand 15 lässt sich auf einen außerhalb des Toiletten¬ raums 11' hinter der Rückwand 18 liegenden Wickeldorn 25 aufwickeln, wobei die Lamellen 24 in der Trennstellung der Trennwand gemäß Fig. 12 vorzugsweise miteinander in Ein- griff stehen, wie es im Zusammenhang mit Fig. 8b erläutert wurde .FIGS. 12a, 12b and 12c show a further development of the embodiment according to Fig. 11. The formed from a plurality of vertical, side by side, about a vertical axis relative to each other pivotable slats 24 partition wall 15 can be set to an out of toilets ¬ space 11 'Wind up the winding mandrel 25 lying behind the rear wall 18, the lamellae 24 preferably in the separation position of the partition wall according to FIG. handle, as was explained in connection with Fig. 8b.
Während die bisher dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiele von der Grundidee ausgingen, die Trennwand 15 so zu verstellen, dass der vergrößerte Toilettenraum 11' aus der gesamten Fläche der beiden Toilettenkabinen 11 gebildet wird, zeigen die Fig. 13 und 14 ein davon abweichendes Prinzip. Gemäß Fig. 13 weist die Toilettenanlage bis auf die Trennwand 15 genau den Aufbau auf, wie er bereits im Zusammenhang mit Fig. 1 erläutert wurde, worauf Bezug genommen wird. Die Trennwand 15 ist als einteilige Wand ausgebildet und in beide Richtungen senkrecht zu ihrer Wandebene entsprechend dem Doppelpfeil B verstellbar.While the exemplary embodiments presented so far were based on the basic idea of adjusting the partition 15 in such a way that the enlarged toilet space 11 'is formed from the entire area of the two toilet cubicles 11, FIGS. 13 and 14 show a principle which deviates therefrom. According to FIG. 13, except for the partition 15, the toilet system has exactly the structure as was already explained in connection with FIG. 1, to which reference is made. The partition 15 is designed as a one-piece wall and adjustable in both directions perpendicular to its wall plane according to the double arrow B.
Fig. 14 zeigt diejenige Endstellung der Trennwand 15, wenn sie in Richtung der linken bzw. oberen Toilettenkabine gemäß Fig. 13 verschoben wird. Die beiden Zugangsöffnungen 19 bilden in dieser verschobenen Stellung der Trennwand 15 zu- sammen eine einzelne, vergrößerte Zugangsöffnung 19' zu einem Toilettenraum 11", der die Fläche der gemäß Fig. 13 rechten unteren Toilettenkabine 11 sowie etwa die Hälfte der Grundfläche der gemäß Fig. 13 linken, oberen Toilettenkabine 11 umfasst. Der Raum der gemäß Fig. 13 linken, obe- ren Toilettenkabine ist so verkleinert, dass diese nicht mehr nutzbar ist, zumal sie auch keine Zugangsöffnung mehr aufweist. Der durch die Verstellung der Trennwand 15 gebildete und vergrößerte Toilettenraum 11' gemäß Fig. 14 besitzt ein Toilettenbecken 12, auf das sich der Rollstuhl - fahrer aus seinem Rollstuhl nach rechts umsetzen kann. Wenn der Rollstuhlfahrer wünscht, sich aus seinem Rollstuhl nach links auf das Toilettenbecken umzusetzen, muss er die Trennwand 15 vor Betreten des Toilettenraums 11' in die entgegengesetzte Richtung verfahren, so dass der Toiletten- räum 11' von der gemäß Fig. 13 linken oberen Toilettenkabi- ne und einem Teil der rechten unteren Toilettenkabine gebildet ist. In einem derartigen Toilettenraum 11' steht ein entsprechend angeordnetes Toilettenbecken 12 zur Verfügung. FIG. 14 shows that end position of the partition wall 15 when it is moved in the direction of the left or upper toilet cubicle according to FIG. 13. In this displaced position of the partition 15, the two access openings 19 together form a single, enlarged access opening 19 'to a toilet room 11 ", which covers the area of the lower right toilet cubicle 11 on the right in FIG. 13 and approximately half the base area of the in FIG. 13 comprises the left, upper toilet cubicle 11. The space of the upper left toilet cubicle, as shown in Fig. 13, has been reduced so that it can no longer be used, especially since it no longer has an access opening, which is formed and enlarged by the adjustment of the partition 15 14 has a toilet bowl 12 onto which the wheelchair user can move from his wheelchair to the right, and if the wheelchair user wishes to move from his wheelchair to the left onto the toilet bowl, the partition 15 must be entered of the toilet room 11 'move in the opposite direction, so that the toilet room 11' from the acc Fig. 13 left upper Toilettenkabi- ne and part of the lower right toilet cubicle is formed. A correspondingly arranged toilet bowl 12 is available in such a toilet room 11 '.
