Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to a modular toilet. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a modular toilet constructed from prefabricated panels that are assembled at a site.

Background

Various parts of the world are devoid of toilets. In such parts, it is a common practice to defecate in the open, significantly affecting personal and community hygiene, alongside significantly lowering the region' s sanitation index. Toilets may be constructed on site using brick and mortar but such toilets are built at a significant cost that is difficult for every community to bear. Moreover, constructing toilets according to such conventional practice may take several man hours, needing effort and substantial masonry skills. Plastic toilets may also be used, however, plastic toilets may get damaged easily, and thereby may not provide a sense of security and privacy to a user.

In an embodiment, the third portion 140 and the fourth portion 142 may be substantially perpendicular to each other. Therefore, the third prefabricated panel 104 has an 'L' shape configuration. In an embodiment, a length 'L4' of the fourth portion 142 is smaller than a length 'L3' of the third portion 140. The third prefabricated panel 104 may include a lower end 144 configured to abut the foundation 106, and an upper end 146 configured to abut the prefabricated roof 108. The third prefabricated panel 104 also includes a first surface 150 that may form the inner surface and therefore the inner perimeter of the modular toilet 100, and a second surface 152 that may form the outer surface and therefore the outer perimeter of the modular toilet 100. Further, the third prefabricated panel 104 includes a first edge 154 extending along a height of the third portion 140, a second edge 156 extending along a height of the fourth portion 142, and a corner 158 defined at the interface of the third portion 140 and the fourth portion 142.

The fourth prefabricated panel 104' is similar in shape and construction to the third prefabricated panel 104, and includes a third portion 140', a fourth portion 142', a lower end 144', an upper end 146', a first surface 150', a second surface 152', a first edge 154', a second edge 156', and a corner 158' . In an embodiment, the third prefabricated panel 104 and the fourth prefabricated panel 104' may be identical in shape and construction. In an embodiment, a length L4' of the fourth portion 142' is smaller than a length L3' of the third portion 140'. The lower end 144' of the fourth prefabricated panel 104' is configured to abut the foundation 106, and the upper end 146' of the fourth prefabricated panel 104' is configured to abut the prefabricated roof 108. Further the third portion 140' of the fourth prefabricated panel 104' is configured to attach with the other of the first pair of prefabricated panels 102, 102', for example the second prefabricated panel 102', to form the third side of the modular toilet 100 (as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2). Further, the third prefabricated panel 104 includes a thickness T2, and the fourth prefabricated panel 104' includes a thickness T2' . In an embodiment, the thickness T2 and the thickness T2' are equal. The thickness T2 is measured at a location other than the first edge 154, the second edge 156, and the corner 158, between the first surface 150 and the second surface 152. Similarly, the thickness T2' is measured at a location other than the first edge 154', the second edge 156', and the corner 158', between the first surface 150' and the second surface 152' .

In an embodiment, the thickness Tl, the thickness Τ , the thickness T2, and the thickness T2' are equal. In an embodiment, the thickness Tl, the thickness Tl ', the thickness T2, and the thickness T2, each may be less than 30 millimeters (mm). In an embodiment, the thickness Tl, the thickness Τ , the thickness T2, and the thickness T2', each may be in range of 20mm to 25mm. In certain implementations, the thickness Tl, the thickness Τ , the thickness T2, and the thickness T2', each may be equal to 21mm.

The third prefabricated panel 104 and the fourth prefabricated panel 104' are configured to be positioned such that the fourth portions 142, 142' together form a fourth side of the modular toilet 100, and an access opening 160 is defined between the fourth portion 142, 142' for the enclosure 110 of the modular toilet 100 (as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2). Therefore, the access opening 160 provides an entrance or exit to a user of the modular toilet 100. Referring again to FIG. 1, the modular toilet 100 may further include a door 162 pivotally attached to the fourth portion 142' of the fourth prefabricated panel 104'. Although the door 162 is shown to be pivotally coupled to the fourth prefabricated panel 104', it may be appreciated that the door 162 may also be pivotally coupled to the fourth portion 142 of the third prefabricated panel 104. The door 162 may pivotally move between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the door 162 closes the access opening 160 (shown in FIG. 1) and therefore restrict an access to the enclosure 110 of the modular toilet 100, while in the second position, the door 162 opens the access opening 160 to provide the access to the enclosure 110. The door 162 may be hinged to the third prefabricated panel 104 or the fourth prefabricated panel 104' by suitable means as known in the art. The second edge 156 of the third prefabricated panel 104 and the second edge 156' of the fourth prefabricated panel 104' may include thicknesses that are greater the respective thicknesses T2 and T2' to enabling a bolted or hinged connection of the door 162.

Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, the foundation 106 provides a base structure for the modular toilet 100, and is configured to rest on and be fixed with a ground. As shown, the foundation 106 may include a first prefabricated structure 170 and a second prefabricated structure 172 configured to rest on and engage with the first prefabricated structure 170. The first prefabricated structure 170 and the second prefabricated structure 172, each is a hollow structure that may be in the form of a hollow rectangular structure. Thus, the foundation 106 is a hollow rectangular structure. The foundation 106 may be configured to provide support to the first pair of prefabricated panels 102, 102' and the second pair of prefabricated panels 104, 104' .

The first prefabricated structure 170 includes an inner surface 174, an outer surface

176, a lower end 178 configured to abut the ground, and an upper end 180 configured to contact the second prefabricated structure 172. In certain implementations, as shown in FIG. 7, the first prefabricated structure 170 includes a variable thickness along a height HI of the first prefabricated structure 170. In the illustrated embodiment, the upper end 180 includes a first thickness Wl, and the lower end 178 includes a second thickness W2 smaller than the first thickness Wl. Alternatively, the first prefabricated structure 170 may include a constant thickness along the height HI. Further, the first prefabricated structure 170 may include an opening 182 extending from the inner surface 174 to the outer surface 176. A drainage pipe (not shown) may be routed through the opening 182 to facilitate a drainage of a waste from the modular toilet 100. Although the opening 182 is shown in the first prefabricated structure 170, it may be contemplated that the opening 182 may be defined by a cut out formed into the first prefabricated structure 170 and a complimentary cut out formed in the second prefabricated structure 172.

The second prefabricated structure 172 includes an inner surface 190, an outer surface 192, a lower end 194 configured to rest on and abut the upper end 180 of the first prefabricated structure 170, and an upper end 196. Further, in certain implementations, as shown in FIG. 8, the second prefabricated structure 172 may include a variable thickness along a height H2 of the second prefabricated structure 172. In the illustrated embodiment, the upper end 196 includes a first thickness W3, and the lower end 194 includes a second thickness W4 greater than the first thickness W3. Alternatively, the second prefabricated structure 172 may include a constant thickness along the height H2.

Further, the second thickness W4 of the second prefabricated structure 172 is less than the first thickness Wl of the first prefabricated structure 170. Therefore, when assembled, the first prefabricated structure 170 and the second prefabricated structure 172 may together define a step 200 of the foundation 106 (see FIG. 5). The step 200 is defined at an interface of the first prefabricated structure 170 and the second prefabricated structure 172, and is defined towards an interior 202 of the foundation 106. The second prefabricated structure 172 may be arranged above the first prefabricated structure 170 such that the outer surface 192 of the second prefabricated structure 172 aligns with the outer surface 176 of the first prefabricated structure 170. In this manner, the inner surface 190 of the second prefabricated structure 172 may be at an offset to the inner surface 174 of the first prefabricated structure 170. Therefore, the step 200 is defined along an inner peripheral surface 204 of the foundation 106. The inner peripheral surface 204 is formed by the inner surfaces 174, 190. The foundation 106 also includes an outer peripheral surface 206 formed by the outer surface 176, 192. In certain embodiments, the foundation 106 may be a single piece having the step 200 defined along the inner peripheral surface 204 of the foundation 106. The step 200 is configured to provide a support to the first pair of prefabricated panels 102, 102' and the second pair of prefabricated panels 104, 104'. The lower ends 116, 116' of the first pair of prefabricated panels 102, 102' and the lower ends 144, 144' of the second pair of prefabricated panels 104, 104' are configured to abut and rest on the step 200.

Further, the upper ends 118, 118' of the first pair of prefabricated panels 102, 102' and the upper ends 146, 146' of the second pair of prefabricated panels 104, 104' are configured to abut the prefabricated roof 108, and provide a support to the prefabricated roof 108. Referring to FIGS. 9 and 10, the prefabricated roof 108 is configured to cover the enclosure 110, and may include a base structure 210 having an outer edge 212, and one or more ridge structures 214. The one or more ridge structures 214 may protrusions extending outwardly from the base structure 210. The one or more ridge structures 214 may be disposed proximate to the outer edge 212, and may extend along a length of the outer edge 212. Although, eight ridge structures 214 are shown, it may be appreciated that any number of ridge structures 214 may be contemplated. The base structure 210 is a plate type structure, and includes a first surface 216 and a second surface 218. The one or more ridge structures 214 may extend outwardly from the first surface 216.

Further, the first pair of prefabricated panels 102, 102' and the second pair of the prefabricated panels 104, 104' are configured to abut the first surface 216 of the base structure 210. Further, the one or more ridge structures 214 abut the second surfaces 122, 122' of the first pair of prefabricated panels 102, 102' and the second surfaces 152, 152' of the second pair of prefabricated panels 104, 104' . Thus, the one or more ridge structures 214 is configured to surround a portion of the first pair of prefabricated panels 102, 102' and a portion of the second pair of prefabricated panels 104, 104' to cover the enclosure 110, and prevent a movement of the prefabricated roof 108 in a lateral direction relative to the enclosure 110. The prefabricated roof 108 may also include one or more reinforcement structures 220 extending outwardly from the second surface 218. In an embodiment, the one or more reinforcement structures 220 may be protrusions to provide strength to the prefabricated roof 108.

Referring again to FIG. 2, the modular toilet 100 may include a toilet seat 224 disposed inside the enclosure 110, and integrated with a floor 226 of the modular toilet 100. The floor 226 may be formed by pouring a concrete mixture within the interior 202 of the foundation 106. Further, a lower portion of the toilet seat 224 be may positioned within the interior 202 before pouring the concrete mixture into the interior 202 to integrate the toilet seat 224 with the floor 226 of the modular toilet 100.

In an embodiment, the first pair of prefabricated panels 102, 102', the second pair of prefabricated panels 104, 104', the foundation 106, and the prefabricated roof 108, each is made of concrete. For example, the concrete is an M30 grade concrete to provide a predetermined strength. The concrete may be defined as a blend of cement, water, aggregates, and sand. In an embodiment, the aggregates include quartz stones. The utilization of quartz stones as aggregates helps in achieving reduced thicknesses of the first pair of prefabricated panels 102, 102', the second pair of prefabricated panels 104, 104', the foundation 106, and the prefabricated roof 108, while providing the requisite strength. In an embodiment, the quartz stones enable thickness of each of the first pair of prefabricated panels 102, 102' and thickness of each of the second pair of prefabricated panels 104, 104' to take a value lesser than 30mm, while maintaining the requisite strength. Further, the utilization of quartz helps in keeping a weight of each of the first pair of prefabricated panels 102, 102', each of the second pair of prefabricated panels 104, 104', the first prefabricated structure 170, the second prefabricated structure 172, and the prefabricated roof 108, below a certain value to enable easy transportation. In another embodiment, the aggregates may include granite stones, limestones, etc. To achieve such reduced thicknesses, sizes of the aggregates used for preparing the concrete may be selected from a range of 0.5mm to 5mm.

In an embodiment, the first prefabricated panel 102, the second prefabricated panel

102', the third prefabricated panel 104, the fourth prefabricated panel 104', each includes a weight less than 120 kilograms. In an embodiment, the first prefabricated panel 102, the second prefabricated panel 102', the third prefabricated panel 104, the fourth prefabricated panel 104', each includes a weight in range of 90 kilograms to 105 kilograms. Further, the first prefabricated structure 170, the second prefabricated structure 172, and the prefabricated roof 108, each may include a weight less than 120 kilograms. In an embodiment, the first prefabricated structure 170, the second prefabricated structure 172, and the prefabricated roof 108, each may include a weight in a range of 90 kilograms to 105 kilograms. The weight of each of the first pair of prefabricated panels 102, 102', the second pair of prefabricated panels 104, 104', the foundation 106, and the prefabricated roof 108 is retained within a predetermined range to enable easy transportation of the components from a remote manufacturing location to a construction site.

Further, each of the first pair of prefabricated panels 102, 102' and each of the second pair of prefabricated panels 104, 104' may include a reinforcement mesh that may have "L" shaped configuration. Further, one or more reinforcement bars may be coupled to the mesh, and disposed at a corner of the mesh. In an embodiment, the one or more reinforcement bars may be coupled to the mesh by welding. Although welding is contemplated, it may be appreciated that other means of coupling such as bolting may also be used to couple the one or more reinforcement bars with the mesh. To prepare each of the first pair of prefabricated panels 102, 102' and/or each of the second pair of prefabricated panels 104, 104', the mesh, coupled with the one or more reinforcement bars, is positioned in a mold, and the concrete is poured into the mold. The one or more reinforcement bars helps in maintaining a structural integrity of each of the first pair of prefabricated panels 102, 102' and each of the second pair of prefabricated panels 104, 104', during transportation. Industrial Applicability

Referring to FIGS 1 la - l ie, different stages of installation of the modular toilet 100 is shown. As shown in FIG. 11a, the foundation 106 of modular toilet 100 is positioned /formed on the ground. To position/ form the foundation 106, the first prefabricated structure 170 may be positioned on the ground such that the lower end 178 of the first prefabricated structure 170 contacts the ground. Thereafter, the second prefabricated structure 172 may be positioned above the first prefabricated structure 170 such that the lower end 194 of the second prefabricated structure 172 rests on the upper end 180 of the first prefabricated structure 170, and the outer surface 192 of the second prefabricated structure 172 aligns with the outer surface 176 of the first prefabricated structure 170. As the lower end 194 of the second prefabricated structure 172 includes the second thickness W4 that is smaller than the first thickness Wl of the upper end 180 of the first prefabricated structure 170, the step 200 is formed at the interface of the first prefabricated structure 170 and the second prefabricated structure 172. Also, the step 200 extends along the inner peripheral surface 204 of the foundation 106.

As shown in FIG. 1 lb, after positioning/forming the foundation 106, the first pair of prefabricated panels 102, 102' and the second pair of prefabricated panels 104, 104' are positioned on the step 200. The first pair of prefabricated panels 102, 102' are positioned in such a manner that the second portion 114 of the first prefabricated panel 102 adjoins or contacts the second portion 114' of the second prefabricated panel 102' . In such a position, the second edge 132 of the first prefabricated panel 102 may be coupled with second edge 132' of the second prefabricated panel 102'. In an embodiment, the second edge 132 and the second edge 132' may contact each other.

Further, the first portion 112 of the first prefabricated panel 102 adjoins or contacts the third portion 140 of the third prefabricated panel 104, and the first portion 112' of the second prefabricated panel 102' adjoins or contacts the third portion 140' of the fourth prefabricated panel 104' . In such a position, the first edge 130 of the first prefabricated panel 102 may be coupled with the first edge 154 of the third prefabricated panel 104, while the first edge 130' of the second prefabricated panel 102' may be coupled with the first edge 154' of the fourth prefabricated panel 104' . In an embodiment, the first edge 130 and the first edge 154 may contact each other. Similarly, in an embodiment, the first edge 130' and the first edge 154' may contact each other. Such an arrangement of positioning of the first pair of prefabricated panels 102, 102' and the second pair of prefabricated panels 104, 104' defines the enclosure 110 of the modular toilet 100, and further enables a formation of the access opening 160 between the fourth portions 142, 142' of the second pair of prefabricated panels 104, 104' . In an assembled position, the second surfaces 122, 122' of the first pair of prefabricated panels 102, 102' and the second surfaces 152, 152' of the second pair of prefabricated panels 104, 104' contact the inner surface 190 of the second prefabricated structure 172 of the foundation 106. Further, the lower ends 116, 116' of the first pair of prefabricated panels 102, 102' and the lower ends 144, 144' of the second pair of prefabricated panels 104, 104 abuts and rest on the step 200. As the first pair of prefabricated panels 102, 102' and the second pair of prefabricated panels 104, 104' are angled panels and thus self-standing panels, the first pair of prefabricated panels 102, 102' and the second pair of prefabricated panels 104, 104' stand on the step 200 without any additional support structures. Further, the first prefabricated panel 102 is attached to second prefabricated panel 102' and the third prefabricated panel 104 by applying a layer of cement or any other coupling mechanism. Similarly, the second prefabricated panel 102' is attached to the fourth prefabricated panel 104' by applying a layer of cement or any other coupling mechanism.

After positioning the panels 102, 102', 104, 104' on the foundation 106, the drainage pipe may be installed and routed through the opening 182 of the first prefabricated structure 170, and coupled to the toilet seat 224 that is partially positioned within the interior 202. Thereafter, a concrete mixture is poured within the interior 202 of the foundation 106 to form the floor 226 of the modular toilet 100, and integrate the toilet seat 224 with the floor 226. The concrete mixture, after curing, enables fixed attachment of the panels 102, 102', 104, 104/ with the foundation 106, and the toilet seat 224 with the floor 226 (as shown in FIG. 11c).

Thereafter, the prefabricated roof 108 is mounted on the first pair of prefabricated panels 102, 102' and the second pair of prefabricated panels 104, 104' to cover the enclosure 110. The prefabricated roof 108 may be mounted such that the base structure 210 is supported on the upper ends 118, 118' of the first pair of prefabricated panels 102, 102' and the upper ends 146, 146' of the second pair of prefabricated panels 104, 104' . Thus, in the assembled position, the first surface 216 of the base structure 210 abuts the upper ends 118, 118' of the first pair of prefabricated panels 102, 102' and the upper ends 146, 146' of the second pair of prefabricated panels 104, 104'. Also, in the assembled position, the one or more ridge structures 214 may be disposed outside the enclosure 110, and may contact the second surfaces 122, 122' of first pair of prefabricated panels 102, 102' and the second surfaces 152, 152' of the second pair of prefabricated panels 104, 104' (as shown in FIG. l id). Thereafter, the door 162 is pivotally coupled to either the fourth portion 142 of the third prefabricated panel 104 or the fourth portion 142' of the fourth prefabricated panel 104' to complete the installation of the modular toilet 100 at the site (as shown in FIG. 1 le). As, all the components of the modular toilet 100 are prefabricated at the remote manufacturing location and then shipped to the construction site, a lesser amount of time and labour is required to construct the modular toilet 100 relative to the traditional method of construction of toilets. Further, the first pair of prefabricated panels 102, 102', the second pair of prefabricated panels 104, 104', the foundation 106, and the prefabricated roof 108 form various parts or components of a kit for the modular toilet 100. The kit may be transported to the construction site to readily and easily install the modular toilet 100. Further, the modular toilet 100 can be sold as the kit including ready to install prefabricated modules. Further, the first pair of prefabricated panels 102, 102' and the second pair of prefabricated panels 104, 104' can be arranged only in the above described configuration to form the enclosure 110/modular toilet 100. Therefore, unskilled labor or minimally skilled labour can also install the modular toilet 100 using the kit and its prefabricated modules, thereby saving cost and effort.
