Benefits of technology

The patent describes how a bathroom can collect and store its own waste without requiring any extra effort from the user. This means that there's no longer a need for installing a separate drainage system or adding an oversized tank underneath the floor.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed in this patent is the difficulty and expense of installing traditional wastewater evacuation ducts in bathrooms, which may also affect the integrity of floors and cause other issues like limited accessibility. To solve these challenges, there is a need for an autonomous bathroom design that eliminates the requirement for separate drainages and allows for easy placement without compromising the floor's strength or requiring significant modifications.

Abstract

The invention relates to a self-contained bathroom comprising a prefabricated chamber intended to be placed on the floor of a room in a dwelling, said chamber containing sanitary fittings (6, 7, 8). The bathroom also includes: a means (30) for supplying clean water to the prefabricated chamber; a means (14) for collecting the wastewater generated by the sanitary fittings (6, 7, 8); and a tank (11) for storing the wastewater, said tank being connected to a drain means (14′) placed inside the prefabricated chamber in order to drain the wastewater stored in the tank. The invention is characterised in that the drain means (14′) is connected to a extendable hose (17) positioned inside the prefabricated chamber, and, while the tank remains inside the chamber, the extendable hose can be used to convey and direct the drain flow towards a drain point outside the chamber.
