Abstract

A toilet unit has a toilet room with at least one corner, and a toilet arranged in the corner and including an upper water tank for supplying water, a lavatory basin-bidet, a seat associated with the basin-bidet, a spraying device associated with the seat of the basin-bidet for spraying in the latter, a device for heating water supplied for spaying and air supplied for drying, controlling elements conveniently located at a level of the seat. Elements of the tank including a float, a frame on which a valve member of a water supplying valve is arranged, and a pulley of a cable for a water discharging valve are turnable about a single axis which extends perpendicularly to a diagonal plane of symmetry of the water tank.

Claims

1. A toilet unit, comprising a toilet room having a plurality of walls which define at least one corner intersected by a central vertical plane;

and a toilet arranged in said corner of said toilet room and including an upper water tank for supplying water, a lavatory basin-bidet, a seat associated with said basin-bidet, and a spraying device associated with said seat of said basin-bidet, said water tank having a diagonal plane of symmetry which coincides with said central vertical plane of said corner of said toilet room, said water tank having an outlet connected to said basin-bidet, a float rotatably mounted in said tank, a first valve for supplying water into said water tank which has a valve member responsive to movement of said float for actuating said first valve, a second valve for discharging water into said outlet and provided with a cable arranged on a pulley for actuating said second valve, said float, said valve member, and said pulley being rotatably mounted in said tank about a single axis which extends perpendicular to said diagonal plane of symmetry of said water tank.

2. A toilet unit as defined in claim 1;

and further comprising means for supporting said seat on said basin-bidet so as that said seat is turnable relative to said basin-bidet, said supporting means being formed as couplings so that water can be supplied through said couplings into said spraying device which is arranged in said seat.

3. A toilet unit as defined in claim 1;

and further comprising means for controlling water supply, heating of water and air, and water discharge in said toilet, said means being arranged on a level of said seat when it is in a position applied on said basin-bidet.

4. A toilet unit as defined in claim 1;

and further comprising means for controlling said spraying device, said controlling means being arranged in front of said seat when it is located in a position applied on said basin-bidet.
