Abstract: The invention provides a device for automatically opening and closing a lid of a trash bin in noncontact fashion disposed in a lavatory unit of an aircraft. On the upper portion of a trash bin 100 disposed in a lavatory unit of an aircraft is attached a lid 50 that pivots via a shaft 250. The reflective infrared radiation sensor 200 attached to a lid frame 60 irradiates infrared radiation IR and detects an object. When the object is detected, a control means drives the DC motor 220 to pivot the shaft 250 via a rotating lever 240 and link arms 242 and 244 to open the lid 50 downward. The fully closed state and the fully opened state of the lid 50 can be detected by position detecting sensors 260 and 262.

Abstract: The invention provides an improved automatic faucet for a lavatory unit of an aircraft. A body 110 of an automatic faucet 100 has on its lower left side (seen from the front) a liquid soap dispenser outlet 200, and the dispenser outlet 200 is connected to a liquid soap dispenser tank via a valve not shown. A reflective infrared sensor 210 for the liquid soap dispenser outlet and an LED light 230 for the liquid soap dispenser outlet are provided adjacent to the liquid soap dispenser outlet 200. When a user's hand is placed within the area of infrared waves 220, a predetermined amount of liquid soap is supplied over the user's hand. The LED light 230 is turned on to illuminate the user's hand. A water supply outlet 300 is provided at the lower right side of the body 110, which is connected to a water tank via a valve not shown. A reflective infrared sensor 310 for the water supply outlet and an LED light 330 for the water supply outlet are provided adjacent to the water supply outlet 300.

Abstract: A manual trash compactor for a trash bin is disposed inside a lavatory unit of an aircraft. A trash bin disposed within a wash basin in a lavatory unit of an aircraft has a lid through which trash is thrown in disposed on an upper surface of the wash basin. Below the lid is equipped a container for trash. A trash compactor has a trash compressing member pivotably disposed via a shaft 154 on a frame. The trash compressing member is pivoted manually using a handle to compress and reduce the quantity of the trash inside the container.
