Space saving bathroom components

Abstract

Water and space saving bathroom components especially useful for a comfort station. Included are a novel toilet having a cistern with a sink in combination with the toilet, a novel waterless urinal and a hand sanitizer dispensing station. The sink is an integrally formed sink into the top of the cistern and has a drain formed into the sink for draining effluent from the sink into the toilet cistern. A faucet is installed in the surface of the sink to provide a clean water source for hand washing and the like that generates grey water after washing. The waterless urinal can be plumbed and mounted to a comfort station wall or on a mobile stand, while the hand sanitizer dispensing station may be adapted for multiple dispensers. The dispensers may be mounted at different heights to accommodate adults, children and disabled persons in wheelchairs.

What is claimed is:

         2 . The water and space saving bathroom component of  claim 1 , further comprising a dual level flush mechanism that controls the flushing operation, and wherein a low flow volume flush level for liquid waste and a higher volume flush for solid waste disposal is included. 
     
     
         3 . The water and space saving bathroom component of  claim 1 , wherein the waste capture and disposal system is selected from the group consisting of a holding tank, a septic system, a sewer system and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         4 . The water and space saving bathroom component of  claim 1 , further comprising a water level overflow control of a drain mechanism back into the toilet bowl or an automatic shut-off valve. 
     
     
         5 . A water and space saving bathroom component, comprising:
 a no-flush waterless urinal;   a liquid disposal line for draining liquid waste; and   wherein said liquid disposal line properly stores and/or disposes of collected urine.   
     
     
         6 . The water and space saving bathroom component of  claim 5 , further comprising a wall mount unit for installation of the no-flush waterless urinal on a wall of a comfort station, and wherein the urine drains into a waste capture and disposal system in communication with a toilet contained in the comfort station. 
     
     
         7 . The water and space saving bathroom component of  claim 5 , further comprising a mobile independent standalone unit to which the no-flush waterless urinal is mounted. 
     
     
         8 . The water and space saving bathroom component of  claim 7 , further comprising a sealable waste holding tank mounted below the no-flush waterless urinal for capturing the urine. 
     
     
         9 . The water and space saving bathroom component of  claim 8 , further comprising wheels on the bottom of the no-flush waterless urinal mounted on the mobile independent standalone unit for portability. 
     
     
         10 . The water and space saving bathroom component of  claim 5 , wherein said no-flush waterless urinal is made of a weatherproof thermoplastic material. 
     
     
         11 . A waterless hand sanitizer dispenser unit, comprising:
 a standalone unit having multiple vertical sides having at least two hand sanitizer dispensers mounted thereon on their face;   a weighted bottom of the standalone unit for stability; and   
       wherein said standalone unit with the hand sanitizer dispensers mounted thereon is convenient for indoor and outdoor applications. 
     
     
         12 . The waterless hand sanitizer dispenser unit of  claim 11 , further comprising a front concealment panel to cover and secure similarly sized refill containers of the hand sanitizer material.
