Of these three types, the third type is the most common, and the one provided in a hotel lobby or the like that requires a relatively gorgeous atmosphere is often the third type. is there. What is provided in the hotel lobby, etc.
Considering the required relatively gorgeous atmosphere, we would like to use it only as a restroom in the second mode. However, due to economic conditions, installation of the toilet in the second mode has been postponed. Normally, the toilet of the third embodiment is provided at the back of a lobby or the like passing through a curved passage.

However, in terms of use, it is inconvenient for the toilet to be located at a position passing through a curved passage.
If possible, I would like to install the toilet in a location that is easy to understand, not too far away. Therefore, in the present embodiment, a toilet with a revolving door that can be installed in an easily understood place such as a hotel lobby is provided.

FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional plan view showing a toilet equipped with a revolving door according to the present embodiment with the revolving door in a "closed" state. FIG. 11 shows the toilet of FIG. 10 with the revolving door in an "open" state. FIG.

As long as the appearance of large-scale building toilets is not unsightly, it is desirable to install them in easy-to-understand places. This can be particularly emphasized for toilets for the physically handicapped (disabled), but the fact has been ignored. This is due to the fact that currently known flush toilets do not have the appearance to be installed safely in any part of a large building. In many cases, toilets that allow the use of wheelchairs are installed in large buildings, but even in such cases, the toilets are provided in relatively deep places so as to be inconspicuous.

Therefore, the present embodiment provides a toilet with a revolving door that is installed in a wide area that is convenient to use.
