Abstract

The invention relates to a public sanitary facility (1), comprising a housing (2) intended for placing underground. The housing is provided with means for collecting urine which are formed by a urinal wall (3) which can be mounted on the housing. The urinal wall (3) is movable from the above-ground position of use to an underground rest position, for instance by means of a pivoting movement.

Description

  • The present invention relates to a public sanitary facility, comprising a housing intended for placing underground, and means for collecting urine which are mounted on the housing and movable between an underground rest position and an above-ground position of use.
  • Such a sanitary facility is described in the European patent 1232313 of applicant.
  • The known public sanitary facility comprises a housing with one or more walk-in positions, each having a receptacle for human excrement and/or urine. The housing comprises telescopically slidable housing parts, a first housing part of which is intended for placing underground. In the first housing part is received a second housing part which is slidable between an underground and an above-ground position. The second housing part is provided with receptacles which are connected to a waste pipe for connection to a sewage system.
  • The known public sanitary facility can be placed ready for use as required in rapid, simple and safe manner. A temporary toilet facility can hereby be provided without any permanent change to the street scene. It has already been found in practice that the problem of public urination can be solved satisfactorily by placing the known public sanitary facilities.
  • Although in the retracted situation the known sanitary facility takes up only minimal space under the ground, the situation can nevertheless occur that it cannot be placed at a specific location because of objects being present in the ground, such as conduits for water or electricity.
  • The invention has for its object to provide a public sanitary facility of the type stated in the preamble which obviates this drawback.
  • The public sanitary facility according to the invention has for this purpose the feature that the collecting means are formed by a urinal wall which can be mounted on the housing.
  • The urinal wall according to the invention can take diverse forms, but per se always takes up less space underground than the above-mentioned telescopically slidable housing.
  • In a first practical preferred embodiment of the public sanitary facility according to the invention, the urinal wall is pivotable between the rest position and the position of use. A pivoting movement can be realized in reliable manner at low cost.
  • In a further development of the first preferred embodiment the urinal wall serves in the rest position as closing element of the housing. The sanitary facility according to this embodiment can hereby be carried in one movement of the urinal wall into the rest position, in which the sanitary facility is immediately covered and secured by means of the cover.
  • In an alternative preferred embodiment of the public sanitary facility the urinal wall can be embodied for submerging into the ground.
  • The urinal wall can optionally be releasably mounted on the housing so that it can be arranged or removed quickly and easily.
  • In an elegant preferred embodiment of the public sanitary facility the urinal wall is generally plate-like. In this embodiment the urinal wall takes up minimal space and is highly practicable as closing element for the housing.
  • According to a further preferred embodiment, one of the sides of the urinal wall is situated substantially parallel to street level during operation in the underground rest position. In the rest position the public sanitary facility can be integrated inconspicuously into the street scene without forming an obstacle for traffic.
  • According to yet another preferred embodiment, the urinal wall stands substantially perpendicular to street level in the above-ground position of use. In this embodiment the public sanitary facility can very well be placed close to the wall of a building such that in the position of use the urinal wall
    extends parallel to the wall of the building. The public sanitary facility according to the invention will also not then form an obstacle for traffic in the position of use.
  • The invention will now be discussed in more detail with reference to the drawings, in which
    • Figure 1A shows a schematic view of a first preferred embodiment of a sanitary facility according to the invention in the position of use;
    • Figure 1B shows the sanitary facility of figure 1A without finishing; and
    • Figure 2 shows a schematic view of the sanitary facility of figure 1A in the rest position.
  • Figure 1A shows a schematic view of a sanitary facility according to the invention in the form of a urinal 1 in a first preferred embodiment.
  • Urinal 1 has a housing 2 intended for placing underground. The height of housing 2 is less than the generally usual depth for placing of underground conduits. In the Netherlands this depth amounts to about 40 cm. Housing 2 can further take any suitable form. The shown rectangular form of receptacle is for instance very suitable, but serves only by way of illustration.
  • A urinal wall 3 for collecting urine is mounted on housing 2. Urinal wall 3 is generally plate-like and can take a single-walled or double-walled form.
  • The urinal wall is movable between the shown above-ground position of use and an underground rest position as shown in figure 2. In the above-ground position of use the urinal wall stands substantially perpendicularly of street level S. In the underground rest position the upper side 3b of the urinal wall lies substantially parallel to street level S.
  • In the shown preferred embodiment the urinal wall 3 is pivotable between the rest position and the position of use. Urinal wall 3 hereby serves in advantageous manner as cover for closing the housing. On the side 3b visible in the rest position the urinal wall 3 is provided with a finish. This finish preferably corresponds with the appearance of the pavement at that position, so that cover 3 can be integrated inconspicuously into the pavement. For the purpose of elucidation figure 1B shows urinal 1 without this finish.
  • The pivoting movement can be realized using different techniques known in the relevant technical field. Shown as an example of a suitable operation is a gas spring 4. Alternatively, a hydraulic cylinder can for instance be used.
  • As alternative (not shown), the urinal wall can be embodied for submerging into the ground. Urinal wall 3 can for instance submerge upright into the ground from the position shown in figure 1A to the position shown in figure 2. In the underground rest position the front side 3v of the urinal wall is then situated substantially parallel to street level S. Housing 2 is preferably provided for this purpose with a part for placing underground in which the urinal wall is slidably received. The operation of the sliding movement can be realized using different techniques known in the relevant technical field, for instance by means of hydraulic techniques.
  • Operation of the movement of the urinal wall can take place both manually and automatically. In both embodiments it is important that the operative has a clear overall view of the situation at the particular location before placing the urinal in the position of use or the rest position so as to avoid hazardous situations for bystanders.
  • Both housing 2 and urinal wall 3 are provided with a closing mechanism 5 consisting of two co-acting parts. Diverse closing mechanisms suitable for this purpose are commercially available.
  • Urinal wall 3 can optionally be mounted releasably on housing 2. Housing 2 then has to be provided with a separate closing element for closing the housing in the rest position after removal of urinal wall 3.
  • Further arranged adjacently of urinal wall 3 in housing 2 is a draining gutter 6 which, if desired, is provided with a grating. Draining gutter 6 can preferably be connected by means of a connection 7 to the sewage system at the location. Alternatively, draining gutter 6 can be connected to a urine reservoir that has to be emptied regularly.
  • An electrical connection 8 connectable to the local mains electricity provides the necessary electric power. Lighting can optionally be arranged in the urinal, for instance by means of LEDs.
  • Further provided is a water connection 9 which connects the urinal to the local water supply system for the purpose of cleaning the urinal. Flushing could for instance be performed automatically by means of a time-controlled mechanism after a determined period of time to be set.
  • Diverse materials are suitable for the sanitary facility according to the invention, including metal (in particular stainless steel) and plastic.
  • It is expressly noted that the invention is not limited to the described and shown preferred embodiment. The invention extends generally to any embodiment which falls within the scope of the appended claims as seen in the light of the description and the accompanying drawings.
