Problems solved by technology

This arrangement of the water tank separately and away from the toilet unit has some disadvantages: the installation of the toilet unit is very complicated due to the large number of connection points; it also requires space for the water tank under the frame of the vehicle
The advantage of this kind of toilet unit is that the water tank does not occupy the space under the vehicle underframe, but its disadvantage is that the structure of the side wall is required to have a certain rigidity enough to support the clean water storage tank, and because the clean water storage tank is located location, its capacity is very small, so it has to be connected to the water supply pipeline of the train, which makes the installation work very complicated
This toilet unit also has the disadvantage that the net height of the compartment is limited by the size of the clean water storage tank
Finally, the construction of this toilet unit also presents the problem that for a limited given volume reserved for the toilet unit, a waste water tank installed in one of the side walls will correspondingly reduce the usable width of the compartment

Embodiment Construction

[0017] In order to simplify the drawing, only those elements necessary for understanding the invention are shown.

[0018] Figure 1 shows a toilet unit designed to be mounted on a railway vehicle. As shown in the figure, the toilet unit is designed to occupy an external limited volume 1 shaped as a rectangular block, which is defined by a set of side walls 11 and which is adapted to be accommodated in a railway vehicle in a space set aside for this purpose. Within this finite volume 1 , the toilet unit comprises a compartment 3 enclosed by two curved internal partitions 3 a set back from the side walls 11 enclosing the finite volume 1 Some.

[0019] The two inner partitions 3 a are assembled together along two vertical edges 31 , and the two vertical edges 31 are located near two opposite corners of the rectangular finite volume 1 . In the vicinity of the respective edge 31 , each inner partition 3 a extends parallel to the adjacent side wall 11 . In front of the other two...

Abstract

A toilet unit for a vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, the toilet unit comprising a cubicle equipped at least with a toilet pan or with a handbasin, said toilet unit defining a limiting volume that is in the shape of a rectangular block, and that is suitable for fitting into a space provided in the rail vehicle for this purpose, said toilet unit incorporating, inside said limiting volume, at least a clean water tank and a waste water retention tank, wherein said clean water tank and said waste water retention tank are disposed vertically in respective corners of the rectangular limiting volume, each tank having an outside wall that is wedge shaped to match the shape of the corner of the rectangular limiting volume, and an inside wall on its side that faces into the cubicle that substantially matches the shape of said cubicle.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a toilet unit for a vehicle, in particular a railway vehicle, having a compartment in which at least one toilet or washbasin is installed. Background technique [0002] It is common to provide toilet units on railway vehicles, each such unit comprising a compartment in which facilities such as a water closet or washbasin are fitted. Such units are usually connected to clean water storage tanks and waste water storage tanks arranged under the vehicle frame. This arrangement of the water tanks separately and away from the toilet unit has some disadvantages: the installation of the toilet unit is very complicated due to the large number of connection points; it also requires space for the water tank under the frame of the vehicle. [0003] US Patent No. 6101766 discloses a toilet unit that includes a waste water tank disposed in its side wall and has a ceiling supporting a clean water tank. The advantage of this kind of toilet u...
