Description

  The present invention relates to a unit-type aircraft restroom, and more particularly, to an aircraft restroom provided with a multi-purpose hammock table used for changing diapers of infants, luggage storage, etc. on a part of the wall surface of the restroom. Is.

  Traditionally, toilets for aircraft have been equipped with toilets, mirrors, hand-washing basins such as hand-washing toilets, etc. Since there are many family travelers traveling with infants in recent toilets, changing diapers for infants And a multipurpose stand used for luggage storage or the like (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In addition, since an aircraft restroom is installed in a limited space, it is difficult to ensure a large volume. In recent years, a unit type restroom has been proposed.

  Therefore, the multi-purpose table provided in the bathroom is also small, and a plate-like plate made of a honeycomb panel or a resin molded product has been mainly used. However, in the case of a multi-purpose table having such a structure, particularly when used for changing diapers of infants, there is a problem that the infant placed on the infant is uncomfortable due to its hard surface. The table has a problem that the space in the bathroom is further narrowed.

  Further, in order to improve the surface of the multipurpose table, it may be possible to improve the feeling of use by cushioning the surface. However, in this case, there is a problem that the cost and mass increase.

In addition, conventional aircraft restrooms are equipped with handrails, handles, etc. that assist users to hold their bodies when adults, elderly people, children, or disabled people use toilets. There were few things, and the body was supported by putting a hand on the wall of the restroom.
