Definitions
- This invention relates to temporary toilet and washing facilities.
- a shower cubicle which can be located at any location adjacent the facilities for provision of water.
- Water which has been used in the shower is then collected at a common outlet and is let to run onto the ground directly below the cubicle.
- Water of this type is conventionally referred to as "grey water” in that it is normally not considered to be odiferous carrying mainly soap suds.
- a toilet is usually also located in a close vicinity but because water, if the toilet is a water flush toilet, will normally be considered to be odorous and otherwise generally foul, other alternative arrangements have to be made.
- a cubicle with a chemical treatment style toilet can be provided.
- the first problem with the conventional system then is that it is often either awkward or simply embarrassing to have grey water from a shower issue straight onto the ground.
- soap suds will have the effect of leaving scum and if the water is reasonably hot when it issues, then such water is both unsightly when it is left in pools adjacent the shower cubicle, and it can be fatal to plants or particular trees.
- One possibility would be to provide storage tanks beneath the facility with the possibility then that this should be pumped out from time to time.
- a further problem is that the unit then needs to be located in a position where there is relatively convenient access for a pump out vehicle to get ready access.
- the additional floor height makes it much more difficult for users to gain access to the especially for those who might be handicapped to achieve access.
- a storage tank when filled with liquid can become very heavy indeed and while the structure can have additional support jacks when being immobilised, if these are not fully operational or are not properly located, then all of the weight might have to be taken by the suspension of a mobile vehicle and this then has to be rated for road transport purposes with the full weight to be included of a full tank.
- the answer in accord with this invention is to handle the grey and black water problems in a completely different way. If there is a conventional water flush toilet, the output from a toilet includes solids. If the solids are substantially broken up by mechanical means then the liquid can then be handled and can be directed with components and pipes that are more conventional for use with clean water.
- the invention can be said to reside in a mobile ablution and toilet unit comprising a building structure providing a bathroom including fittings comprising a toilet pan, and at least one of a shower alcove, a bath and a vanity basin, a water supply arrangement including means to supply hot and cold water to the or each fitting, a waste pipe from each of the fittings to a tank and means associated with the tank to break up otherwise solid waste and to pump liquid carrying the broken up material up to a higher waste outlet, the waste outlet being located in or adjacent to the structure and at a height such that in use the liquid after it flows from the waste outlet the liquid can then gravity feed to a disposal outlet.
- the building structure is integrated with a trailer including ground supporting wheels and a towing frame.
- a trailer including ground supporting wheels and a towing frame.
- the fittings comprise at least a hot and cold water provided shower and a water flush type toilet.
- a vanity basin and a bath In preference there are also included a vanity basin and a bath.
- a hot water heating system is mounted with the building structure. Such a hot water heating system in preference is gas fired.
- FIG. 1 shows a first perspective view of a mobile ablution and toilet unit (transportable bathroom) according to the embodiment;
- FIG. 2 shows a further perspective view of the embodiment from the rear;
- FIG. 3 shows a side view of the embodiment according to this invention
- FIG. 4 shows a cut-away view, particularly showing the intemal components of the embodiment
- FIG. 5 shows a cut-away view from the rear of the embodiment
- FIG. 6 shows a floor plan of the embodiment
- FIG. 7 shows a cross-sectional view of the embodiment
- FIG. 8 shows one embodiment of a waste disposal arrangement according to this invention
- FIG. 9 shows a further embodiment of a waste disposal arrangement according to this invention.
- FIG. 10 is a cross section through a connector to a gully.
- a mobile ablution and toilet unit which can also be referred to as a mobile bathroom includes a building structure 1 mounted onto a trailer chassis which includes wheels 2 with appropriate suspension and a towing draft A-frame 3 so that the unit is road worthy and able to be towed on public roads and within appropriate Government regulations.
- the building structure 1 includes front wall 5, side walls 6 and 7, rear wall 8 and roof 9. A window is provided in each of two walls.
- Main entrance door 11 is provided in the rear wall 8.
- Ramp 12 with hand rails 13 is provided for personal and wheelchair access into the bathroom.
- a door 14 controls access to a first compartment in which are stored gas bottles 15 which are connected to a hot water service 16 mounted outside on the front wall 5 which enables hot water to be supplied to the various components.
- Door 20 on the side 7 controls access to an outside storage compartment 21 in which water and sewer hoses, electric cords, tools and accessories are stored.
- Door 23 on side 7 controls access to another outside compartment 24 in which the ramp 12 and rails 13 are stored during transport of the transportable bathroom.
- a shower alcove 30 Within the building structure is a shower alcove 30, a toilet pan 31 with associated cistern 32, a bath 33 and a vanity basin 34.
- Cold water supply is provided by a connection 36 and pipeline 44 to the shower 30, the system 32, the bath 33, the hot water service 16 and the vanity basin 34.
- Gas from the gas bottles 15 is passed through pressure regulator 40 to the water heater 16 via line 41.
- Hot water passes out through line 37 from the hot water service and is supplied to the shower 30, the bath 33 and the vanity basin 34.
- Waste in the form of grey water from the vanity basin 34 passes through pipe 46 which passes under the bath 33, connects with the bath waste from line 47 and is passed into a small pump tank 48 which is situated behind the toilet pan 31. Waste which will be in the form of solids and water when flushed from the toilet pan 31 also is directed into tank 48 as does waste in the form of grey water from the shower alcove 30 through line 49.
- tank 48 is a macerator and pump and whenever the pump control (not shown) detects a selected water level in the tank it operates the pump so that water (which includes solids broken up into a slurry form) is pumped out of the tank 48 through a non retum valve, then through waste line 50 which passes to an outlet point 51 high up on the side of the building structure.
- a hose 52 can be connected to the waste connection 51 to transport sewage waste to a suitable outlet.
- the suitable outlet is a domestic sewage pipe 53 and riser 54 into which the pipe 52 has been connected at 55.
- a support post 56 has been provided to support the waste pipe 52.
- the waste disposal is by means of a septic tank 57 and the pipe 52 is passed into an access hatch 58 for the septic tank.
- FIG. 10 shows a connection for a gully where there is a sewer pipe riser 59 connecting to a gully the connection including an elbow 60, a cast iron inspection lid 61 to which the elbow 60 is secured by back nut 62 and collar 63 embedded at ground level 64.
- stabiliser legs there are appropriate stabiliser legs so as to stabilise and support the building structure above the ground when needed.
- an exhaust fan in the structure located either in one of the walls or the ceiling can be included where the venting can therefore be to atmosphere and internally there can be two internal wate ⁇ roof lights or more.
- a bathroom which can be similar in comfort and conditions to conventional bathrooms with water flush toilets and hot and cold running water. These comforts can be used while being the unit is adapted to be located in many different locations including domestic gardens or otherwise environmentally sensitive areas.
- the means to break up solids from the water flush toilet are the same members that provide the pumping action. This depends upon the style of pump chosen and from a point of view of economy integration of these two functions is normally to be preferred.
