3 Access to the interior 28 of the enclosure 12 is provided via the access door 30 hinged onto the second side wall 20.
To provide a roll out toilet the enclosure 12 is mounted on wheels 15 one at each of the four corners of the bottom 22 of the enclosure 12 and is constructed so that the width X of the enclosure 12 (width of the narrower walls 14 and 16) is narrow enough to pass through a standard door widthõ the length Y of the enclosure 12 as defined by the length of side walls 18 and 20 may be of any suitable length but will normally be longer than X, and the height Z
of the enclosure 12 from the side of the wheels 15 remote from the bottom 22 to the top (highest point of the enclosure 12 with the pop-up top 26 in lowered position) is sufficiently short that it can pass through a standard door height.
The interior 28 has a sink 32 mounted adjacent to the front wall 14 and a toilet including a holding tank 34 positions opposite the sink 32 and adjacent to the rear wall 16. A urinal 36 (haveing a shorter front wall than the rear backsplash wall as is known), opposite the door 30 and about mid way between the sink 32 and the toilet 36. The sink 32 may be any be of any suitable construction but will preferably will comprise a conventional sink and fresh water supply tank (not shown) and a water heater 38 preferably of the type shown in US Patent 6,628, 894 issued September 30 2003 to Winter et al. (corresponding with Canadian Patent no. 2,351,910) The enclosure may also be provided with a heater and lighting where required.
A drain line 40 connects the sink drain 42 (shown in dash lines in Figure 3) with one side 44 of the urinal 36 and a second drain line 46 connects the side 48 of urinal 36 remote from the side 44 to the holding tank of toilet 34. The liquid (used water) draining from the sink drain 42 passes through the drain line 40 into the urinal 36 through the wall 44 and flows along the bottom 50 of the urinal and out through the wall 48 adjacent to the bottom 50 and into drain line 46 to then flow into the holding tank 34. This flow of waste water from the sink 32 through the urinal 36 tends to wash and thereby clean the urinal. Preferably the inlet through the wall 44 will be at least 1/2 inch higher than the outlet through the wall 48 as indicated by the dimension D. Obviously the height of the drain 42 urinal 36 and tank 34 will be progressively lower so that water will flow from the sink down line 40 to urinal 36 and down line 46 into toilet tank 34.
To provide a roll out toilet the enclosure 12 is mounted on wheels 15 one at each of the four corners of the bottom 22 of the enclosure 12 and is constructed so that the width X of the enclosure 12 (width of the narrower walls 14 and 16) is narrow enough to pass through a standard door widthõ the length Y of the enclosure 12 as defined by the length of side walls 18 and 20 may be of any suitable length but will normally be longer than X, and the height Z
of the enclosure 12 from the side of the wheels 15 remote from the bottom 22 to the top (highest point of the enclosure 12 with the pop-up top 26 in lowered position) is sufficiently short that it can pass through a standard door height.
The interior 28 has a sink 32 mounted adjacent to the front wall 14 and a toilet including a holding tank 34 positions opposite the sink 32 and adjacent to the rear wall 16. A urinal 36 (haveing a shorter front wall than the rear backsplash wall as is known), opposite the door 30 and about mid way between the sink 32 and the toilet 36. The sink 32 may be any be of any suitable construction but will preferably will comprise a conventional sink and fresh water supply tank (not shown) and a water heater 38 preferably of the type shown in US Patent 6,628, 894 issued September 30 2003 to Winter et al. (corresponding with Canadian Patent no. 2,351,910) The enclosure may also be provided with a heater and lighting where required.
A drain line 40 connects the sink drain 42 (shown in dash lines in Figure 3) with one side 44 of the urinal 36 and a second drain line 46 connects the side 48 of urinal 36 remote from the side 44 to the holding tank of toilet 34. The liquid (used water) draining from the sink drain 42 passes through the drain line 40 into the urinal 36 through the wall 44 and flows along the bottom 50 of the urinal and out through the wall 48 adjacent to the bottom 50 and into drain line 46 to then flow into the holding tank 34. This flow of waste water from the sink 32 through the urinal 36 tends to wash and thereby clean the urinal. Preferably the inlet through the wall 44 will be at least 1/2 inch higher than the outlet through the wall 48 as indicated by the dimension D. Obviously the height of the drain 42 urinal 36 and tank 34 will be progressively lower so that water will flow from the sink down line 40 to urinal 36 and down line 46 into toilet tank 34.
