Abstract
A sanitary rotating fixture (10, 10a), which conceals in a wall niche (11). The fixture is more or less triangular in shape when viewed from the side. It has a rear wall (13, 13a), an upper base (21, 21a), side walls (16, 16a), a sloping bottom (17, 17a) and a means of rotation (12, 23) permitting rotation for less than 90.degree., in particular of about 60.degree. around a horizontal axis. Holding means, for example in the form of stops are provided for projecting caps (14) that slide in arch-shaped grooves (15) in the side walls of the niche (11). A plastic sheet (31) is provided to conceal flushing ducts thus preventing dirt accumulation on them and behind the fixture.
