Abstract
A public toilet comprises a circular or polygonal structure containing a urinal and a plurality of toilet cubicles and washbasins wherein the toilet cubicles are arranged around the outside of the structure and the urinal and washbasins are arranged around the central axis of the structure.
Description
2360798 COMFORT CAROUSEL The invention relates to a layout for combined
Ladies/Gents Rest Room for large volume, free-flowing, rapid usage in Theme Parks and other mass collection areas.
The disadvantage of conventional rectangular layouts is that insufficient space is apportioned to Ladies, leading to queues forming outside their Rest Rooms.
By adopting a circular flow system, equality of usage for both sexes is obtained, 0 together with efficient drainage and structural form. The Comfort Carousel is not designed for disabled users, who will avail themselves of conventional facilities.
The Comfort Carousel may be constructed from current building materials but the preferred construction is shown in the. accompanying Figures 1/6.
Figure 1 shows the layout of the Comfort Carousel cubicles, urinal, vanity units, hand basins and the associated drainage, which disperses through 100min diameter unplasticised polyvinyl chloride drains to glass reinforced plastic inspection chambers around the outside of the building. A central chamber collects waste from the hand basins and each of the two perimeter drains will discharge, and fall to a single 1. 5 Omm outfall on the right hand side of Figure 1 (but not shown).
Figure 1 shows 28 cubicles which, with the urinal, will distribute Male: Female usae in the ratio 12: 24. As occupancy rates by ladies are approximately twice that of men, the apportionment will balance usage between the sexes. Cubicle partitions and vanity units shown in Figure 1 will be proprietary chipboard faced with heat-bonded poly vinyl chloride, self-supported on pedestals bolted to the reinfbrced concrete ground slab. Proprietary hand basins and urinals will be on stainless steel and the Lavatory bowls in porcelain or stainless steel Figures 2 and 3 illustrate a typical Section and Elevation of the Comfort Carousel (containing the Entrances and Exits). This particular Comfort Carousel is clad in translucent 15 degree pitch polyvinyl carbonate roof sheeting and plastic-covered steel side sheeting.
The Comfort Carousel shown in the drawings is designed to resist snow loading of 0,75Kn/sqrn and lateral wind loading of 0.5KN/sqm. The timber structure is designed to BS5268:The Structural Use of Timber in seasoned treated softwood.
Figure 4 illustrates the timber roof structure plan which comprises timber purlins (roof cladding supports) supported by eight radial rafters, which are supported in turn by eight timber posts. Side cladding is supported by two side rails, the top one being shown in Figure 4. The outward thrust from the pitched rafters is contained by, steel straps screwed to the top side rails around each post.
The connection details of the above components are illustrated in Figures 5 and 6: Purlins are connected to rafters with proprietary nailed, pressed steel joist hangers; rafters are connected to posts by means of bolted steel flitch plates; top and bottom side rails are connected to posts by means of bolted hot rolled steel angle brackets. posts are connected to the reinforced concrete ground floor slab by means of bolted inverted hot rolled steel tee flitches which are bolted to the slab with proprietary steel and resin anchor bolts; the rafters are connected together at the apex by means of steel flitch plates welded to a circular hollow steel section and bolted to the rafters.
