Description

[DESCRIPTION]
[Invention Title]
A TOILET BOWL
[Technical Field]
The present invention relates to rotary toilet bowls and, more particularly,
to a rotary toilet bowl, which is rotatably installed on a floor and is connected to a
water supply unit provided in a washstand, so that the toilet bowl can be rotated to
protrude outwards when it is required to use the toilet bowl or rotated inwards to
be retracted under the washstand, thus allowing a user to efficiently use a small
space, such as a bathroom, a restroom, or a ward.
[Background Art]
Generally, an indoor toilet bowl is typically installed in a bathroom or a
restroom of housing, and the toilet bowl and a washstand installed in the limited
space of the bathroom or the toilet separately occupy respective spaces.
In response to rapid urbanization of the social environment in recent years,
residential space in cities has become excessively reduced and, furthermore, the
residential area occupied by a household is becoming limited. Thus, the manager
of a construction company must consider the limited space of a building while
constructing the building. Furthermore, in the related art, a toilet bowl and a washstand are
separately installed and separately used in a limited space, such as a bathroom of a
home, thus reducing the effective space in the bathroom. The conventional toilet
bowl is inconvenient to users using the bathroom having such a limited space.
In an effort to solve the problems caused by the conventional toilet bowls,
Korean Utility Model Registration No. 1994-33799 discloses a toilet bowl
combined with a washstand.
The above-mentioned toilet bowl combined with a washstand comprises a
w ater storage unit, which has a water tank that is made of a light material and is
installed above the toilet bowl having a conventional seat.
The washstand having a water supply means is detachably mounted to the
upper surface of the water tank of the water storage unit.
The washstand is provided with both an overflow hole and a drain hole,
which is openably closed by a plug.
A grip is formed on the front surface of the water tank such that the grip of
the water tank can be held with the hand of a user when the water tank is arcuately
rotated around an axis defined at a position in back of the toilet bowl.
A soap support recess is formed on the upper part of the water tank to
support soap therein. A flush handle is provided on a side surface of the water tank to discharge
flush water from the water tank into the toilet bowl.
The seat has a locking protrusion, which engages with a hinge bracket of
the toilet bowl and is locked thereto using a locking bar, so that the seat can be
arcuately rotated around the locking bar.
The water tank of the water storage unit has locking projections, wrhich are
locked to opposite sides of the locking protrusion of the seat, so that the water
tank can be rotated around the locking bar.
Described in brief, the present invention is configured such that a toilet
bowl is placed below a rotatable washstand and the washstand can be rotated to
allowr a user to selectively use the washstand or the toilet bowl while rotating the
washstand, as desired. However, the toilet bowl combined with the washstand is
problematic in that it is required to secure a substantial space to rotate the
washstand even when a user is using the toilet bowl, so that the toilet bowl
combined with the wτashstand cannot reduce the space to a practically desired
level.
[Disclosure]
[Technical Problem]
Accordingly, the present invention has been made keeping in mind the above problems occurring in the prior art, and an object of the present invention is
to provide a rotary toilet bowl, which is rotatably installed on a floor and is
connected to a water supply unit provided in a washstand, so that the toilet bowl
can be rotated to protrude outwards when it is required to use the toilet bowl or
rotated inwards to be retracted under the washstand, thus allowing a user to
efficiently use a limited space, such as a bathroom, a restroom, or a ward.
[Technical Solution]
In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention,
there is provided a rotary toilet bowl, comprising:
a water supply unit provided in a washstand installed in a room at a
predetermined location and height;
an upper rotative shaft securely coupled at a lower end thereof to an upper
surface of the toilet bowl and rotatably coupled at an upper end thereof to a lower
end of the washstand;
a water supply pipe connected at an end thereof to the water supply unit
provided in the washstand, the water supply pipe extending to both the water jet
discharge channel and the water supply channel of the toilet bowl through the
upper rotative shaft;
a lower rotative shaft coupled at an upper end thereof to the lower surface of the toilet bowl and rotatably coupled at a lower end thereof to the floor of the
room!
a drain path extending from the interior of the toilet bowl to a waste pipe
installed under the floor through the lower rotative shaft; and
a plurality of rollers each having a stopper, the rollers being provided at the
lower surface of the toilet bowl such that the toilet bowl can be rotated and
stopped at a desired place, wherein the toilet bowl can be rotated to protrude
outwards when it is required to use the toilet bowl or rotated inwards to be
retracted under the washstand, thus allowing a user to efficiently use the limited
space of the room.
[Advantageous Effects]
As is apparent from the above descriptions, the rotary toilet bowl according
to the present invention provides advantages in that a water supply unit is installed
in a washstand, a water supply pipe of the toilet bowl is placed in an upper rotative
shaft, and a drain path of the toilet bowl is provided in a lower rotative shaft
installed through a floor of a room. Thus, the toilet bowl is rotatable such that it
can be rotated to protrude outwards when it is required to use the toilet bowl or
rotated inwards to be retracted under the washstand, thus allowing a user to
efficiently use a limited space, such as a bathroom, a restroom, or a ward. [Description of Drawing]
FIG. 1 is a sectional view illustrating the construction of the present
invention.
[Best Mode]
The rotary toilet bowl according to the present invention is configured as
follows.
A water supply unit 2 is provided in a washstand 1 , which is installed in a
room at a predetermined location and height.
An upper rotative shaft 3 is securely coupled at a lower end thereof to an
upper surface of the toilet bowl 10 and is rotatably coupled at an upper end thereof
to a lower end of the washstand 1.
A water supply pipe 6 is connected at an end thereof to the water supply
unit 2 provided in the washstand 1. The water supply pipe 6 extends to both the
water jet discharge channel 11 and the water supply channel 12 of the toilet bowl
10 through the upper rotative shaft 3.
A lower rotative shaft 13 is coupled at an upper end thereof to a lower
surface of the toilet bowl 10 and is rotatably coupled at a lower end thereof to a
floor 20 of the room using a bearing 22.
When flushing the toilet bowl 10, water from the toilet bowl 10 passes through the lower rotative shaft 13 so as to be drained to a waste pipe 21, which is
installed under the floor 20 of the room.
The rotary toilet bowl 10 further includes a plurality of rollers 17 each
having a stopper 18. The rollers 17 are provided on the lower surface of the
toilet bowl 10 so that the toilet bowl can be rotated and stopped at a desired place.
In the embodiment, the lower rotative shaft 13 defines therein a draining
path to drain flushed water from the toilet bowl 10 to the waste pipe. However,
the lower rotative shaft 13 may be integrally formed outside the toilet bowl 10,
with a separate drain pipe as a drain path installed in the lower rotative shaft 13,
without affecting the functioning of the present invention.
Described in detail, in the rotary toilet bowl having the above-mentioned
construction according to the present invention, the water supply unit 2 is
provided in the washstand 1, which is installed in a room at a predetermined
location and height.
When the rotary toilet bowl of the present invention is installed in a
restroom, the toilet bowl may be used with a washstand. However, when the
rotary toilet bowl is installed in a specified room having another purpose, such as a
ward, the rotary toilet bowl may be used with a support on which articles are
stored in place of the washstand, without effecting the functioning of the present invention.
The upper rotative shaft 3, which is securely coupled at the lower end
thereof to the upper surface of the toilet bowl 10, is rotatably coupled at the upper
end thereof to the lower end of the washstand 1. The lower rotative shaft 13,
which is coupled at the upper end thereof to the lower surface of the toilet bowl 10,
is rotatably coupled at the lower end thereof to the floor 20 of the room using the
bearing 22. Thus, the toilet bowl has a rotatable structure.
The water supply pipe 6, which is connected at an end thereof to the water
supply unit 2 provided in the washstand 1, extends to both the water jet discharge
channel 11 and the wτater supply channel 12 of the toilet bowl 10 through the upper
rotative shaft 3. Thus, the water supply pipe 6 easily supplies water to the toilet
bowl 10 without disturbing the rotating motion of the toilet bowl 10.
When flushing the toilet bowl 10, water from the toilet bowl 10 passes
through the lower rotative shaft 13 o be drained to the waste pipe 21 , which is
installed under the floor 20 of the room. Thus, the toilet bowl 10 easily drains
water to the waste pipe without disturbing the rotating motion of the toilet bowl 10.
Furthermore, the plurality of rollers 17, each having a stopper 18, is
provided on the lower surface of the toilet bowl 10 so that the toilet bowl 10 can be
rotated and stopped at a desired place. Thus, the toilet bowτl 10 can be rotated inwards to be retracted under the washstand 1 or can be rotated to protrude
outwards at a desired location when it is required to use the toilet bowl 10.
When the toilet bowl 10 has been rotated to protrude outwards at a desired
location, the rollers 17 are stopped by the respective stoppers 18 so that the
rollers 17 cannot be undesirably rotated. Thus, a user can safely use the toilet
bowl.
In the present invention, a drain pipe defining the drain path may be
separately produced and placed in the lower rotative shaft 13 of the toilet bowl 10.
[Industrial Applicability]
As described above, the rotary toilet bowl according to the present
invention is advantageous in that a water supply unit is installed in a washstand, a
w ater supply pipe of the toilet bowl is placed in an upper rotative shaft, and a drain
path of the toilet bowl is provided in a lower rotative shaft installed through a floor
of a room. Thus, the toilet bowl is rotatable such that it can be rotated to
protrude outwards when it is required to use the toilet bowl or rotated inwards to
be retracted under the washstand, thus allowing a user to efficiently use a limited
space, such as a bathroom, a restroom, or a ward.
