Lavatory system

A lavatory system comprising:

• 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, the linkage comprising at least one member configured to transfer the pivoting movement of the cover to translating movement of the panel;
• and
• a motion control device including a damper coupled to the cover;
• wherein 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;
• and
• wherein the damper is configured to control the velocity of the cover during movement.

A lavatory system comprising:

• a base;
• a commode:
• a cover coupled to the base and configured for movement between a stowed position which allows access to the commode and a deployed position which obstructs access to the commode;
• a backrest coupled to the cover at an interface that forms a gap between the cover and the backrest;
• and
• a barrier configured to extend at least partially across the gap to inhibit access to the commode through the gap.
