Abstract: A lavatory system configured to accommodate a first person and a second person having different physical abilities than the first person is disclosed. The lavatory system includes a first station having a first upper surface and a second station having a second upper surface. The first upper surface is laterally and vertically offset from the second upper surface so that the first station is configured to accommodate the physical abilities of the first person and the second station is configured to accommodate the physical abilities of the second person.

Abstract: A lavatory system is disclosed. The lavatory system comprises a base, a panel coupled to the base and configured for translating movement between a first position and a second position, a cover configured for pivoting movement relative to the base between a deployed position and a stowed position, a linkage coupled to the cover and the panel, and a motion control device including a damper configured to affect the movement of the cover and the panel. The linkage comprising at least one member configured to transfer the pivoting movement of the cover to translating movement of the panel. Movement of the cover from the deployed position towards the stowed position actuates the at least one member to move the panel from an extended position towards a retracted position. The damper is configured to control the velocity of the cover during movement.

Abstract: A lavatory system is disclosed. The lavatory system comprises a base, a commode having a front and a rear coupled to the base and movable relative to the base between a deployed position and a stowed position, a first projection engaged between the base and the commode, and a first member adjacent the front and coupled to the projection so that the commode can be disengaged from the base. An apparatus for a lavatory system is also disclosed. The lavatory system has a commode with a front and a rear coupled to a base and configured to pivot between a deployed position and a stowed position, and a detent engaged between the commode and the base. The apparatus comprises a member adjacent the front of the commode and operatively coupled to the detent, the member configured to disengage the commode from the base by actuation of the detent so that the commode can be moved from the deployed position toward the stowed position.

Abstract: A lavatory system configured to provide hand washing access to a user is disclosed. The lavatory system comprises a first station and a second station, plumbing, and a first cover and a second cover configured to inhibit access to at least a portion of the plumbing. The first cover and the second cover each having a first portion and a second portion that are removable. The first cover is mountable at the first station and the second cover is mountable at the second station. The first portion is removed on the first cover to provide a first recess and the second portion is removed on the second cover to provide a second recess so that the first recess and the second recess are configured to receive a portion of the plumbing. A method of assembling a lavatory system is also disclosed.

Abstract: An apparatus for installation in a lavatory having a toilet with a bowl is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a base; a panel coupled to the base, a cover coupled to the panel and movable between a first position and a second position, a first mechanism including a linkage coupled to the panel and the cover. Access to the bowl of the toilet is at least partially obstructed by movement of the cover. A method of protecting a hinge mechanism for a lavatory system is also disclosed. The method comprises placing a barrier to extend across at least a portion of the hinge mechanism.

Abstract: A lavatory system configured to accommodate a first person and a second person having different physical abilities than the first person is disclosed. The lavatory system includes a first station having a first upper surface and a second station having a second upper surface. The first upper surface is laterally and vertically offset from the second upper surface so that the first station is configured to accommodate the physical abilities of the first person and the second station is configured to accommodate the physical abilities of the second person.

Abstract: An eye wash station is disclosed for dispensing a fluid to a person's eyes. The eye wash station includes a tank to contain the fluid and a pedestal having a tank support portion and a generally horizontal base portion. The eye wash station has a reservoir configured to maintain a substantially constant level of the fluid within the reservoir when the tank is installed. A dispensing arm providing a flow outlet is pivotally mounted to the pedestal for movement between a stowed position where the flow outlet is above the reservoir fluid level and an operating position wherein the flow outlet is below the reservoir fluid level. A conduit, such as a length of flexible tubing or hose, couples the reservoir to the flow outlet to allow flow of the fluid from the reservoir to the flow outlet when the dispensing arm is in the operating position, and a pair of spray heads coupled to the flow outlet provide a spray of the fluid.
