The patent US12030638B2 describes an innovative on-board toilet cubicle designed for use in aircraft. The cubicle features a unique configuration with a front long side, rear long side, front short side, and rear short side, which together enclose the interior space. Notably, the design includes an L-shaped door that provides access, with one leg of the door positioned on the front long side and the other on the front short side. The toilet unit is strategically placed adjacent to the rear long side, and the door's dimensions are specifically designed, with the leg on the front long side being wider than that on the front short side. Additional claims detail the orientation of the toilet seat, the hinge point of the door, and the spatial relationships between the toilet opening and the cubicle's sides.

Further claims elaborate on the cubicle's features, including the arrangement of a washbasin unit adjacent to the rear short side, which enhances functionality. The design ensures that the toilet opening maintains specific distances from the cubicle's sides, optimizing space and accessibility. The patent also specifies the angles and distances related to the toilet seat and washbasin, ensuring ergonomic use. The cubicle is integrated into an aircraft layout, with a corridor leading from the front short side to a passenger seating area, thereby improving the overall passenger experience. This patent presents a comprehensive solution for on-board sanitation needs, addressing both design and usability in confined spaces.
