Description

[0001] The invention relates to a sanitary cabin, in particular a toilet cabin, comprising at least one floor section, at least one ceiling section, and a plurality of side wall sections, further comprising at least one sanitary fitting and at least one tank for wastewater and / or feces. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing such a sanitary cabin. Preferably, the sanitary cabin according to the invention is a mobile or transportable sanitary cabin. Such mobile sanitary cabins can be transported, in particular, on transport vehicles. They are especially flexible and can be used in locations where no permanently installed sanitary facilities are available. The mobile sanitary cabins are therefore generally set up for specific periods of time, for example, on construction sites or at events such as markets, fairs, festivals, and the like.The portable sanitary cabins are then removed and cleaned.

[0002] Sanitary cubicles of the type described above are generally known in practice in various embodiments. WO 2014 / 108628 A1 shows a sanitary cubicle.

[0003] Sanitary cubicles commonly used in practice include at least one sanitary fixture, such as a toilet. It is also generally accepted that sanitary cubicles should be equipped with additional features to promote user hygiene. These include further sanitary facilities such as hand basins or hygiene features like soap dispensers. Such sanitary cubicles have proven their worth in terms of their compactness, flexible deployment, and the hygiene features they provide. However, experience with these sanitary cubicles has shown that, over time, the surfaces of the cubicle's components can become soiled.

[0004] Microbes, such as bacteria, can accumulate on the surfaces of sanitary cabins. Even though many known sanitary cabins have features designed to promote user hygiene, the accumulation of microbes on the cabin's components is nonetheless undesirable. This is especially true for cabins that lack additional features like hand basins, soap dispensers, and the like. It is also common practice to clean sanitary cabins at certain intervals, typically disinfecting their components and surfaces. This is time-consuming and costly. Furthermore, it is desirable to ensure that the sanitary cabins remain largely free of microbes even between cleanings. This is where the invention comes in.

[0005] In contrast, the invention addresses the technical problem of providing a sanitary cubicle, in particular a toilet cubicle, of the type mentioned above, in which the disadvantages described above can be effectively and reliably avoided, and in which, in particular, the accumulation of microbes on the building components of the sanitary cubicle can be at least reduced and preferably largely avoided. Furthermore, the invention addresses the technical problem of providing a method for manufacturing such a sanitary cubicle.

[0006] To solve the technical problem, the invention teaches a sanitary cubicle with the features of claim 1.
