Abstract
This invention relates to a sanitary facility room to be installed in a computer room or a clean room found in a manufacturing factory for a semiconductor element wherein the water supplying means is operated by a control part received a sensed signal from the sensing means by a sensing operation of the sensing means for a human body, a cleaning water is supplied to the sanitary device to form water films at the inner surface of the sanitary device and to perform an automatic cleaning of the sanitary device.
Claims31
A sanitary facility room adapted to be placed within a clean room, said sanitary facility room comprising:
- (a) an enclosure including a plurality of upstanding vertical walls, a floor, and a ceiling;
- (b) at least one toilet apparatus, said toilet apparatus including means for sensing the presence of a human body using said toilet apparatus, a toilet control device operable in response to signals emitted by said sensing means, and means for supplying water to the interior of said toilet apparatus, said control device comprising means for controlling the amount of clean water supplied to the interior of said toilet apparatus, said means for supplying water comprising means for forming a film of water along an interior surface of said toilet apparatus;
- and
- (c) means for cleaning the hands of said human body, said cleaning means comprising means for sensing the presence of hands of said human allong the interior of a bowl forming part of said cleaning means, a whasing control device operable in response to a signal sent to it by said hands sensing means, means for supplying water to the interior surface of said bowl and for forming a water film along said interior bowl surface, wherein said bowl washing control device comprises means for controlling the water supplied to said interior surface of said bowl by said bowl water supply means, wherein said enclosure, said toilet apparatus, and said cleaning means together comprise means for permitting a user to utilize said toilet apparatus and said cleaning means without touching any object within said sanitary facility room.
A sanitary facility room in accordance with 24 further comprising a framework attached to said urinal for enclosing said water supply device for said urinal, said body sensing means, and means for controlling the operation of said water supply device for said urinal.
A sanitary facility room adapted to be positioned within a clean room, said sanitary facility room comprising:
- (a) an enclosure defined by a plurality of upstanding walls, a floor positioned below said walls, and a ceiling positioned above said walls;
- (b) at least one toilet apparatus for operation by a user, said at least one toilet apparatus comprising means for sensing the presence of a user of said toilet apparatus after said user has been present at said apparatus for a predetermined period of time, means for cleaning the interior of said toilet apparatus from a period starting prior to use of said apparatus by a user and extending until a predetermined period has elapsed after said user is no longer positioned on said apparatus, said cleaning means and said sensing means together comprising means for operating said toilet apparatus without the hands of said user wherein said cleaning means comprises means for forming a film of water along an interior surface of said toilet apparatus;
- (c) at least one sink apparatus, said at least one sink apparatus comprising a washing bowl and means for sensing the presence of the hands of a user within the interior of said bowl, said sink apparatus further comprising means for washing said hands and means for drying said hands, and means for forming a water film along said washing bowl interior said hand sensing means comprising means for activating said continuous film formation along the interior of said sink bowl and for washing and drying the hands of a user in a controlled fashion, wherein said hand sensing means, said hand washing means, and said hand drying means comprise means for permitting handless operation of said sink apparatus by a user.
