Definitions

  • a a block made up of two openings for the toilet and bidet bowls l80 opposite each other, that is, with the openings of said block turned upwardly and downwardly, respectively; said block being connected at a rotary support means or pivot means onto a horizontal axis running perpendicular to the wall of the support means supporting the block;
  • a wash basin arranged above the toilet-bidet block and pivotally connected at one of its side surfaces to a vertical axis pin fastened to the wall of the support means, said wash basin being pivotally connected so as to rotate 90 in a horizontal plane;
  • a base for the shower fitted adjacent to the toiletbidet block and pivotally connected for rotation at its side to the wall at a pin running parallel to the wall of the support means and fixedly secured thereto.
  • Said shower base may thus be caused to rotate about its horizontal axis so as either to lie horizontally in the use condition or to lie parallel to the wall, thereby leaving the underlying floor clear.
  • the fact that the individual fixtures can be pivotally rotated ensures that they take up the smallest space possible, without negatively affecting their performance and functional character.
  • Rotating the wash basin 90 leaves the toilet-bidet block open, which may be used on either side by a simple rotation of 180.
  • By rotating the shower plate 90 it is possible to clear the portion of the room floor taken up by the plate.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic view of a vertical section of the toilet-bidet block, including the two openings for the toilet-bidet bowls, disposed opposite each other at I80";
  • FIG. 2 represents in a schematic form a section of the toilet-bidet block, disposed underneath the wash basin;
  • FIG. 3 shows in a schematic rear view the sub-system of water supply, discharge conduits, and hydraulic fittings, which are located in the thickness of the wall of said support means and anchored to the latter in the region corresponding to the wash basin and toilet-bidet block. Also visible is the shower base, raised along the wall of the support means in the non-use position;
  • FIG. 4 represents a front view of the modular system with the shower base raised
  • FIG. 5 represents a side view of the modular system shown in FIG. 4;
  • FIG. 6 depicts the modular system as shown in FIG. 5, with the shower base in the use position;
  • FIG. 7 represents the modular system in a top view, with the shower base raised parallel to the room wall in the non-use position;
  • FIG. 8 shows the modular system in a top view with the wash basin horizontally rotated so as to leave the toilet-bidet block uncovered for rotation of the block to either the toilet use position, or the bidet use position;
  • FIG. 9 represents a top view of the modular system with the shower plate in use position.
  • the modular system includes the toiletbidet block I with the openings of the toilet and bidet bowls l and 1", respectively, arranged opposite each other at Said toilet-bidet block 1 may rotate about a horizontal axis perpendicular to the support means at the pivot 7, still remaining unaltered the discharge connection through the branch pipe 3 inside the exhaust pipe 3.
  • Both cold and warm water is supplied to the toilet-bidet block, wash basin and shower by means of flexible supply conduits and accessories as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • the toilet-bidet block 1 is joined at the pipe union 2 with a gasket means 2', adapted to ensure a suitable tightness between the aforesaid pipe union 2 and the end 2" of the union 3'.
  • the wash basin in the various figures is designated 4 when it is in use position (see FIGS. 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 9) and 4 when it is rotated 90 (see FIG. 8), to leave the toilet-bidet block I uncovered.
  • the shower base is designated 5, when it is in use position (see FIGS. 6 and 9) and 5', when it is raised parallel to the wall by a 90 rotation (see FIGS. 3, 4, 7 and 8).
  • the modular system may also be provided with a water heater 6. Also, the shower 5 and its fittings are removable.
  • a modular hygienicsanitary system for use in a bathroom facility comprising a support structure having an upright wall; a sanitary fixture having a toilet bowl recess in a surface located at one side of a first horizontal axis and a bidet bowl recess in a surface located at the opposite side of said first horizontal axis; means mounting said fixture on said wall for turning movement about said first horizontal axis so that said recesses are selectively movable to an upwardly facing position by turning said fixture about said first horizontal axis; a wash basin; means mounting said wash basin on said wall so that said wash basin is pivotable about a vertical axis in a horizontal plane to and from a position in which it is located above said fixture; a shower base; and means mounting said base on said wall laterally spaced from said fixture and said basin so that said base is pivotable about a second horizontal axis located at a level lower than said first horizontal axis between one position in which said shower base projects horizontally from said wall and is ready for use and another position in
  • said first flow means supplying water to said fixture, basin and shower base along a first path
  • said second flow means discharging waste water along a second path.
