[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility model registration No. 3146726 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Conventionally, a mobile toilet vehicle has been proposed that includes temporary toilets arranged on the loading platform of a vehicle such as a truck. In this mobile toilet vehicle, multiple temporary toilets are placed on the loading platform along the longitudinal direction of the loading platform.

[0005] In these types of mobile toilet vehicles, when using one temporary toilet, one must pass through the passage in front of that temporary toilet, and when using another temporary toilet, one must pass through the passage in front of the other temporary toilet. In other words, each temporary toilet has its own dedicated passage.

[0006] The objective of the present disclosure is to shorten the length of the passageway compared to a case where a dedicated passageway is provided for each temporary toilet. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The mobile toilet vehicle of the first aspect comprises a vehicle having a cargo bed, a pair of temporary toilets placed on the cargo bed of the vehicle so that their doors face each other, and a lifting member that is detachably attached to the cargo bed and used for raising and lowering the toilets onto and from the cargo bed.

[0008] According to the above aspect, a pair of temporary toilets are placed on a loading platform with their doors facing each other. This allows a person to use one of the pair of temporary toilets and the other by passing through the passage between the pair of temporary toilets. In other words, the pair of temporary toilets are shared by a common passage. This allows the length of the passage to be shorter than when a dedicated passage is provided for each temporary toilet.

[0009] The mobile toilet vehicle according to the second aspect is the mobile toilet vehicle described in the first aspect, in which the lifting member is arranged so as to lead to the loading platform in the portion sandwiched between the pair of temporary toilets.

[0010] According to the above aspect, the lifting member is arranged to lead to the portion of the platform between the pair of temporary toilets. In other words, the lifting member is arranged to lead to the common passage between the pair of temporary toilets. This allows a user who climbs onto the platform with the lifting member to easily reach the common passage between the pair of temporary toilets.

[0011] The mobile toilet vehicle according to the third aspect is the mobile toilet vehicle according to the first or second aspect, wherein the pair of temporary toilets are arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction of the loading platform.

[0012] According to the above aspect, the pair of temporary toilets are arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction of the loading platform. This allows the space in the loading platform, which is longer in the longitudinal direction, to be used more effectively than if the temporary toilets were arranged side by side in the width direction of the loading platform. Effect of the Invention

[0013] According to the present disclosure, the length of the passageway can be shortened compared to a case where a dedicated passageway is provided for each temporary toilet. [Brief description of the drawings]

[Diagram 5] 1 is a side view showing a ladder and other components provided on a mobile toilet vehicle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0015] An example of a mobile toilet vehicle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 5. Note that the arrow H shown in each figure indicates the vertical direction, which is the up-down direction of the mobile toilet vehicle, the arrow W shown in each figure indicates the horizontal direction, which is the width direction of the mobile toilet vehicle perpendicular to the arrow H, and the arrow L shown in each figure indicates the front-rear direction of the mobile toilet vehicle perpendicular to the arrows H and W, and indicates the horizontal direction.

[0016] (Overall composition) 1, the mobile toilet vehicle 10 according to this embodiment (hereinafter simply referred to as "toilet vehicle 10") comprises a truck 20 having a loading platform 24, and a pair of temporary toilets 30 mounted on the loading platform 24 with their doors 32 facing each other. Furthermore, the toilet vehicle 10 comprises a sink 40 for washing hands, and a ladder 50 that is detachable from the loading platform 24 and allows access to the loading platform 24.

[0017] [20 trucks, 30 temporary toilets] As shown in Fig. 1, the truck 20 has a cabin 22 and a bed 24. The bed 24 is surrounded by the cabin 22, a pair of side doors 26a, and a rear door 26b. The bed 24 extends in the front-rear direction. In other words, the longitudinal direction of the bed 24 is the front-rear direction. The truck is an example of a vehicle.

[0018] 1 and 2, the temporary toilets 30 are lined up in the front-to-rear direction along the side flap 26a on one side in the width direction, and are placed on the loading platform 24 so that their doors 32 face each other. In other words, a pair of temporary toilets 30 are arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction of the loading platform 24. Here, the temporary toilets 30 are simple temporary toilets that are temporarily installed in places where there are no temporary toilets to begin with, or where there are insufficient existing temporary toilets, such as event venues, construction sites, or disaster evacuation shelters.

[0019] The temporary toilet 30 has a waste tank 30a attached to the loading platform 24 and a housing 30b connected to the top of the waste tank 30a, and a toilet bowl (not shown) is arranged inside the housing 30b. The housing 30b has a door 32, which opens and closes around a hinge 32a and moves between an open position that opens the inside of the housing 30b and a closed position that closes the inside of the housing 30b. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, a common passage 26c is provided between the pair of temporary toilets 30, through which one temporary toilet 30 and the other temporary toilet 30 can be used, and one temporary toilet 30 and the other temporary toilet 30 can be used by passing through this passage 26c. In addition, the door 32 arranged in the open position when viewed from above moves to this passage 26c (see the two-dot chain line in FIG. 2). The length of the passage 26c in the front-rear direction is determined so that the doors 32 of the pair of temporary toilets 30 do not interfere with each other even when the doors 32 are moved to the open position.

[0020] Furthermore, the temporary toilet 30 has a ventilation fan 46 and a heat insulating material 48. Specifically, the ventilation fan 46 is attached to the housing 30b on the opposite side to the door 32. By attaching the ventilation fan 46 in this manner, it is possible to exhaust odors inside the temporary toilet 30 to the outside. Also, as shown in Figures 3(A) and (B), the heat insulating material 48 is attached to the ceiling of the temporary toilet 30 from the inside of the room. By attaching the heat insulating material 48 in this manner, it is possible to suppress an increase in the room temperature of the temporary toilet 30.

[0021] 3(A) and (B), the door 32 is further provided with an outside opening / closing lever 34 provided on the outside of the door 32 for opening and closing the door 32, an inside opening / closing lever (not shown) provided on the inside of the door 32, and a display unit 36 ​​provided on the outside of the door 32 and linked to a locking lever provided on the inside of the door 32. Specifically, when the door 32 is locked from the inside using the locking lever, the display unit 36 ​​turns red to indicate that the door is occupied (see FIG. 3(B)). On the other hand, when the door 32 is unlocked from the inside using the locking lever, the display unit 36 ​​turns blue to indicate that the room is vacant (see FIG. 3(A)).

[0022] [Sink 40] As shown in Fig. 1, the sink 40 is placed on the loading platform 24 at the front portion in the front-rear direction along the side flap 26a on the other side in the width direction. The sink 40 is provided with a faucet 42. As shown in Fig. 4, a foot pedal 44 is provided below the sink 40. By stepping on the foot pedal 44, a foot pump (not shown) is operated to cause water to flow from the faucet 42.

[0023] [Ladder 50] 1 and 2, the ladder 50 has an upper end portion supported by the side gate 26a on the other side, and a lower end portion supported by the ground G. The ladder 50 is an example of a lifting member.

[0024] The ladder 50 is arranged so as to guide the user to the passage 26c between the pair of temporary toilets 30. Specifically, the ladder 50 is arranged so that when the movement line of the user climbing up to the loading platform 24 using the ladder 50 is extended, it reaches the passage 26c between the pair of temporary toilets 30. In other words, the ladder 50 is arranged so that the user climbing up to the loading platform 24 using the ladder 50 can reach the passage 26c between the pair of temporary toilets 30 without changing direction.

[0025] This ladder 50 comprises a pair of posts 52, multiple steps 54 arranged between the pair of posts 52, and a pair of handrails 56. As shown in Figure 5, the uppermost step 54 is placed on the side gate 26a on the other side, and a bracket 58 is attached to the underside of the step 54, which is in widthwise contact with the plate surface 28a on the loading platform 24 side at the side gate 26a.

[0026] Furthermore, the concave corner 60 formed by the top step 54 and the support 52 contacts the convex corner 28b of the side gate 26a in the width direction, thereby determining the position of the ladder 50 relative to the side gate 26a.

[0027] (summary) As explained above, in the toilet vehicle 10, a pair of temporary toilets 30 are placed on the loading platform 24 so that the doors 32 face each other. Then, by passing through the passage 26c between the pair of temporary toilets 30, one temporary toilet 30 and the other temporary toilet 30 can be used. In other words, the passage 26c is shared between the pair of temporary toilets 30. This makes it possible to shorten the length of the passage compared to a case where a dedicated passage is provided for each temporary toilet.

[0028] In addition, in the toilet vehicle 10, the ladder 50 is arranged so as to lead to the passage 26c between the pair of temporary toilets 30. This allows a user who climbs onto the platform 24 using the ladder 50 to easily reach the passage 26c between the pair of temporary toilets 30.

[0029] The pair of temporary toilets 30 are arranged to be lined up in the front-to-rear direction of the loading platform 24. In other words, the pair of temporary toilets 30 are arranged to be lined up in the longitudinal direction of the loading platform 24. This ensures a larger width for the passage 26c than when the temporary toilets are lined up in the width direction of the loading platform 24, allowing the loading platform 24 to be used more effectively.

[0030] Although the present disclosure has been described in detail with respect to a specific embodiment, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present disclosure is not limited to the embodiment, and that various other embodiments are possible within the scope of the present disclosure. For example, in the above embodiment, the ladder 50 is used as a member for ascending to the loading platform 24, but stairs or the like may also be used.

[0031] In the above embodiment, the ladder 50 is provided only on one side in the width direction of the loading platform 24, but a ladder may be provided on both sides in the width direction of the loading platform. Specifically, a ladder may be provided on the opposite side of the ladder 50 with the loading platform 24 in between. This makes it possible to reach the passage 26c between the pair of temporary toilets 30 from both sides in the width direction of the loading platform 24. [Explanation of symbols]
