A concealed toilet bowl contained in a base embedded in a wall, comprising a driving mechanism to move the toilet bowl out of the case for use or into the case for concealing same, a blower, a water tank and pipes for flushing water into the toilet bowl and exhausting it out.
An apparatus for installation in a lavatory having a toilet with a bowl is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a base; a panel coupled to the base, a cover coupled to the panel and movable between a first position and a second position, a first mechanism including a linkage coupled to the panel and the cover. Access to the bowl of the toilet is at least partially obstructed by movement of the cover. A method of protecting a hinge mechanism for a lavatory system is also disclosed. The method comprises placing a barrier to extend across at least a portion of the hinge mechanism.
A lavatory system is disclosed. The lavatory system comprises a base, a panel coupled to the base and configured for translating movement between a first position and a second position, a cover configured for pivoting movement relative to the base between a deployed position and a stowed position, a linkage coupled to the cover and the panel, and a motion control device including a damper configured to affect the movement of the cover and the panel. The linkage comprising at least one member configured to transfer the pivoting movement of the cover to translating movement of the panel. Movement of the cover from the deployed position towards the stowed position actuates the at least one member to move the panel from an extended position towards a retracted position. The damper is configured to control the velocity of the cover during movement.
A lavatory system is disclosed. The lavatory system comprises a base, a commode having a front and a rear coupled to the base and movable relative to the base between a deployed position and a stowed position, a first projection engaged between the base and the commode, and a first member adjacent the front and coupled to the projection so that the commode can be disengaged from the base. An apparatus for a lavatory system is also disclosed. The lavatory system has a commode with a front and a rear coupled to a base and configured to pivot between a deployed position and a stowed position, and a detent engaged between the commode and the base. The apparatus comprises a member adjacent the front of the commode and operatively coupled to the detent, the member configured to disengage the commode from the base by actuation of the detent so that the commode can be moved from the deployed position toward the stowed position.
