Abstract

THIS TOILET CABIN INCLUDING A SLAB, WALLS FORMING WALLS, A ROOF, A DOOR, A SEAT AND A TECHNICAL WALL DEFINING A TECHNICAL ROOM AND A ROOM FOR USERS, AND IN WHICH THE SEAT IS CONSTITUTED BY A SEAT A LA TURKISH COMBINED HAS A SEAT 1 FIXED ON THE SAID TECHNICAL WALL 4 AT A CERTAIN HEIGHT ABOVE THE SEAT AT THE TURKISH AND MOUNTS MANUALLY MOVABLE BETWEEN AN ACTIVE POSITION IN WHICH THE SEAT EXTENDS A LITTLE HORIZONTALLY ABOVE THE SEAT AT THE TURKISH AND A SHAPED POSITION IS CHARACTERIZED IN THAT THE SEAT FLAP 1 IS IN THE FORM OF AN ELBOW TUBE OF WHICH THE TWO ENDS ARE ASSEMBLED ARTICULATED IN 2 ON A SUPPORT STRUCTURE 3 JOINT OF THE TECHNICAL WALL 4 IN THE FORM OF A FLAP 1 CAN BE MOVED BETWEEN THE SAID ACTIVE POSITION AND THE ESCAMOTATED POSITION. ADVANTAGEALLY, MEANS 7 OF RETURNING THE SEATER TO THE ESCAMOTATED POSITION ARE PROVIDED.

Description

The present invention relates to

public toilet cubicles.

  The main patent describes a public toilet cubicle, comprising a slab, walls forming walls, a roof, a door, a seat and a technical wall defining a technical room and a room intended for users, characterized in that the seat consists of a Turkish-style seat combined with a flap fixed to said technical wall, i a certain height above the Turkish-style seat, and mounted manually movable between an active position in which said flap extends approximately horizontally above the Turkish-style seat and a

retracted position.

  In this embodiment, said flap is in the form of a bent tube, the two ends of which are mounted articulated on the technical wall. Furthermore, means for holding the flap in the active and retracted positions are

also planned.

  These means are constituted by a counter

  weight disposed in the technical room and fixed on at least one of the ends of the tube constituting said flap by means of a fixing rod

  cubit crossing said technical wall.

  The object of the invention is to propose a

  different embodiment by certain characteristics

  of the embodiment described in the main patent. To this end, the subject of the invention is a

  public toilet cubicle as described above

  cédemment, characterized in that said flap is in the form of a bent tube whose two ends are mounted articulated on a support structure integral with the technical wall so

  that the seat can be moved between said position

  active tion and the retracted position in which it

  extends roughly parallel to the technical wall.

  Means of recalling the flap in posi-

  retracted tion are also provided.

  Advantageously, these recall means include

  take an elastic return member, one end of which is fixed to the support structure and the other, on at least one of the ends of the tube constituting the flap by means of a rod

angled fixing.

  The invention will be better understood using

  the description which follows, given only to

  as an example and made with reference to the accompanying drawing which represents a sectional view of a device for fixing a flap in a toilet cubicle

public according to the invention.

  As we can see in this figure,

  and as described in the main patent, a lampshade

  both 1 is in the form of a bent tube. The two ends of the latter are mounted articulated at 2 on a support structure 3 secured to a technical wall 4 so that the flap 1 can be moved between a retracted position in which it extends roughly parallel to the plane defined by the technical wall and an active position in which

  it extends roughly perpendicular to it.

  The support structure 3 also includes fixing means 5 and 6 of a type known per se and which will not be described in detail, making it possible to fix this support structure and therefore the flap which is hinged mounted on it, to a certain height above the Turkish-style seat of the cabin of

public toilets.

  Means 7 for recalling the flap in po-

  retracted position, are also provided. These means comprise an elastic return member, one of the ends 7a of which is fixed in a manner known per se to the support structure 3 and the other, 7b, to the

  minus one of the ends of the tube constituting the abat-

  both via a bent fixing rod 8.

  Advantageously, this recall member elas-

  tick is constituted by a pneumatic or hy-

  hydraulics. Furthermore, the support structure can also be surrounded by a covering 9 made up

any suitable material.

  This conception of the flap and the

  support structure makes it possible to fix these on any

  door which technical wall, above a Turkish seat, and without the counterweight described in the main patent, which reduces the size of

all.

Claims (4)

  1. Public toilet cubicle according to claim 1 of the main patent, characterized in that said flap (1) is in the form of a bent tube, the two ends of which are hinged (2) on a support structure ( 3) secured to the technical wall (4) so that   the flap (1) can be moved between said position   active tion and the retracted position in which it   extends approximately parallel to said tech- picnic (4).   2. Cabin according to claim 1, character-   mockery in that there are provided means (7) for recall   the flap in the retracted position.   3. Cabin according to claim 2, character-   laughed at in that the recall means include a   elastic return member (7), one of the extremi   tees (7a) is fixed on the support structure (3) and the other (7b), on at least one of the ends of the tube constituting the flap (1) via a bent fixing rod (8).   4. Cabin according to claim 2 or 3, ca-   characterized in that the means (7) for recalling the a-   leaf include a pneumatic or hydraulic spring lique.
