The mobile or portable sanitary cubicles are then removed and cleaned again.

Sanitary cubicles of the type described above are generally known in practice in different embodiments. Many of the sanitary cabins known from practice have at least one sanitary facility, for example a toilet. After using the toilet, the feces go straight to a holding tank without subsequent flushing. For this purpose, the toilet or the toilet seat can be arranged directly above the holding tank. Such sanitary cubicles have basically proven themselves with regard to their compactness and flexible usability. However, these sanitary cabins known from practice are not very comfortable for the user, since the toilet is not rinsed after use and there is also the washing of the Hands with water in the sanitary cubicle is not possible. It is therefore also known to use rinsing liquid or fresh water reservoirs in mobile sanitary cubicles in order to make the use of such cubicles more convenient and hygienic. However, due to the additional fresh water reservoirs, these sanitary cabins are often only of a slightly compact design, so that their transportation is complex and difficult and their use is restricted and not very flexible. Furthermore, the assembly of the sanitary cabins known from practice with rinsing liquid or fresh water reservoir is usually very complex. Another problem of the sanitary cubicles with flushing or fresh water supply known from practice is that the reservoirs are easily accessible in many cases and that liquid in the reservoirs can be contaminated by external influences or vandalism. - There is room for improvement.

The at least one rinsing liquid reservoir preferably extends over 10% to 90%, preferably over 20% to 80%, particularly preferably over 30% to 70% and very particularly preferably over 35% to 65% of the length L of an internally hollow support post or Corner post.

It is within the scope of the invention that the at least one rinsing liquid reservoir of an internally hollow support post or corner post extends along the entire vertical length of the cavity. An alternative embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the at least one rinsing liquid reservoir of a support post or corner post which is hollow on the inside only extends in regions over the vertical length of the cavity of a support post or corner post which is hollow on the inside. It is possible that the support post or corner post has a larger horizontal cross-sectional area in the area of the rinsing liquid reservoir than in the area without a rinsing liquid reservoir.

According to a highly recommended embodiment of the invention, the rinsing liquid reservoir is arranged in a section of the support post or corner post facing the base part of the sanitary cubicle. If, according to a preferred embodiment, the at least one rinsing liquid reservoir extends only in regions over the length L of a support post or corner post which is hollow on the inside, then the rinsing liquid reservoir is preferably arranged in a region of the support post or corner post which faces the base part or on the Floor part adjoins. This embodiment is based, among other things, on the knowledge that when the rinsing liquid reservoir is arranged in the lower region of the support post or corner post facing the base part, the center of gravity of the sanitary cubicle, in particular when the rinsing liquid reservoir is filled with rinsing liquid, is displaced in the direction of the installation surface. In this way, the cabin is additionally protected against overturning or falling over - for example, due to external influences or weather conditions.

It is within the scope of the invention that a rinsing liquid reservoir has at least one outlet opening, preferably with an outlet line. The flushing liquid can flow out of the flushing liquid reservoir and be used in the sanitary cubicle via such an outlet opening or via the outlet line, which is preferably connected to the outlet opening. The outlet opening is very particularly preferably arranged in the region of the lower end of the rinsing liquid reservoir or the corner post. The term lower end refers to the vertical installation state of the sanitary cubicle and thus means the lower end of the rinsing liquid reservoir or the corner post in particular the end of the rinsing liquid reservoir or the corner post facing the base part. It is recommended that the outlet opening be arranged on the underside of a support post or corner post facing the base part, which has a rinsing liquid reservoir.

Another proven embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the outlet lines of at least two rinsing liquid reservoirs present in the support posts or corner posts are connected to one another via at least one coupling element. The coupling element is a particularly preferred one Design variant around a T-piece. Then the outlet lines are preferably connected to two ends of the T-piece and the combined flushing liquid can flow on through a third delivery line connected to the T-piece, the flushing liquid then being able to be used in the sanitary cubicle. In principle, it is also possible for the outlet lines to be connected to one another by a plurality of rinsing liquid reservoirs present in the support posts, for example three rinsing liquid reservoirs, by means of a corresponding coupling element.

In principle, it is also possible that in the case of a plurality of rinsing liquid reservoirs provided in the sanitary cubicle, the outlet lines of these rinsing liquid reservoirs are not coupled, and that the outlet lines are then expediently each assigned separately to a sanitary device preferably provided in the sanitary cubicle. This embodiment is based on the knowledge that in this way different rinsing liquids or rinsing liquids with different additives can be used for the individual sanitary facilities of the sanitary cubicle.

It is recommended that at least one sanitary facility - in particular a toilet bowl and / or a urinal and / or a hand wash basin - be arranged in the sanitary cubicle. The at least one sanitary device is expediently connected to the at least one rinsing liquid reservoir or to the outlet line of a rinsing liquid reservoir, so that the sanitary device can be rinsed or supplied with rinsing liquid. If, according to a particularly preferred embodiment, the outlet lines of at least two rinsing liquid reservoirs present in the support posts or corner posts are connected to one another via a coupling element, in particular a T-piece, then the at least one stands Sanitary device preferably in connection with the conveying line which continues the rinsing liquid after the T-piece.

Appropriately, between a rinsing liquid reservoir or the outlet line of a rinsing liquid reservoir and the at least one sanitary device, at least one conveying device, in particular at least one pump, is arranged for conveying the rinsing liquid. Such a conveying device or pump can be supplied with power, for example, by the solar panel already mentioned above and / or can be supplied with power via a rechargeable battery and / or via an external power source. According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, the conveying device or the pump is a mechanically actuated conveying device or pump, for example a foot pump, which can be actuated in particular by a user of the sanitary cubicle. If, according to a preferred embodiment, the outlet lines of a plurality of rinsing liquid reservoirs are connected to one another via at least one coupling element, then the conveying device, in particular the pump for conveying the rinsing liquid, is particularly preferably arranged downstream or behind the coupling element in the flow direction of the rinsing liquid. In this way, the rinsing liquid can be conveyed from several, in particular from two, interconnected rinsing liquid reservoirs with the conveying device or with the pump.

In the context of the invention, the rinsing liquid is therefore led out of the rinsing liquid reservoir via at least one outlet opening and an outlet line preferably connected to the outlet opening - particularly preferably due to the conveying action of the delivery device or pump - in the direction of the sanitary device. The rinsing liquid is preferably used by several, particularly preferably by two rinsing liquid reservoirs united via a coupling element and then the rinsing liquid flows to at least one sanitary device. A toilet bowl can be rinsed with the rinsing liquid and / or a urinal can be rinsed and / or a hand basin can be supplied with rinsing liquid, so that the user can clean his hands in the hand basin with the rinsing liquid.

It is also within the scope of the invention that the conveying device is operated hydraulically or is set up as a hydraulic pump and works, for example, in the course of opening or closing the cabin door. Then preferably no power supply is required for the conveyor.

It has already been noted above that in the preferred embodiment with a plurality of rinsing liquid reservoirs, in particular with two rinsing liquid reservoirs, these rinsing liquid reservoirs or their outlet lines do not necessarily have to be connected via a coupling element. In principle, it is also possible for the two rinsing liquid reservoirs to separately supply a sanitary device in the sanitary cubicle with rinsing liquid. Then, if necessary, two conveying devices or two pumps for conveying the respective washing liquid can also be provided in the sanitary cubicle. In the context of such an embodiment, two different rinsing liquids or rinsing liquids with different additives can then preferably be used. This is particularly advantageous if one of the sanitary facilities is a toilet bowl and / or a urinal and another sanitary facility is a hand wash basin.
