Embodiment Construction

[0020] With reference to the accompanying drawings, which are provided by way of example and not limitation, the figure 2 In the first embodiment shown, the invention provides an enclosure 10, such as a lavatory of a passenger cabin 12 of an aircraft (not shown), however the enclosure could also be, for example, an aircraft storage room or an aircraft galley or another similar enclosure space or structurally bounded spaces. The cabin includes an aircraft cabin structure 14 and the skin may be taller than the cabin structure. For example, the passenger cabin structure can include a passenger seat 16 mounted directly in front of the shell and having an aft portion 18 with an outer aft surface 20 that is generally uneven in a vertical plane 22 . The lavatory includes a lavatory stall unit 24 and has one or more walls 26 with a forward facing wall portion 28 . The one or more walls define an interior lavatory space 30 and the forward facing wall portion is configured to be arra...

Abstract

A space efficient lavatory module for a commercial aircraft includes an aft facing concave wall recess that provides a greater distance from an upper, forward facing portion of a cabin structure, suchas an aircraft passenger seat to avoid having a passenger's head impact the aft facing lavatory or enclosure wall in a sudden aircraft deceleration. The aft facing concave wall recess also provides space for mounting of a protective cushion, in order to reduce a passenger's risk of head trauma in a sudden deceleration, as well as other items, such as a video monitor, a bassinet or infant bed, without inhibiting passenger movement.
