About Convenience Toilettes temporaires
Convenience est une toilette temporaire conçue pour les espaces publics dépourvus de sanitaires permanents. L'unité est installée au-dessus d'un regard d'égout, de sorte que l'urine est évacuée directement dans le puits d'assainissement et n'est pas stockée. Le couvercle de regard est retiré puis inséré dans une rainure située entre les deux urinoirs, où il stabilise l'unité tout en évitant d'être égaré. La forme profilée permet à la pluie de nettoyer les surfaces. Convenience est réalisée par moulage par injection de plastique et reste suffisamment légère pour être déplacée par les agents municipaux. Ses dimensions sont de 1300 mm de largeur, 1400 mm de profondeur et 2000 mm de hauteur.

- Production Technology
- Our design is shaped by plastic injection molding technology.
- Design Challenge
- The challenge of our design is that we cannot find a right place to put manhole cover at the beginning. After a certain number of sketching and discussing of our project, we finally find the proper way which achieves the desired effect. Now, the manhole cover is the key of how to make Convenience self-balance.
- Research
- To avoid the awkward circumstance for nowhere to empty your bladder, the team offer a better solution of temporary man’s room by incorporating urban sewage into design. For temporary man’s room, as we all know, how to make it cleaning and where to put urine are big issues. Our team find a right way in it’s unique shape which can self-cleaning in those rainy days and let the pass water through into sewage well directly.
- Inspiration
- Because of it incorporates urban sewage, Convenience can be placed anywhere with a sewer line and manhole cover. The team have got a brilliant idea in reusing the manhole cover. The grooved-putting cover can make the product balance during service time. And the unique appearance make the pass water will be discharged into sewage well directly by the urinal so that it will not store urine. Convenience can be self-cleaning on rainy days. It is so light that can be moved easily by municipal workers.
- Project Duration
- The project started in April 2017 in LAFA Communal Facility Design Studio and finished in January 2018 in National Experimental Teaching Demonstration Center of Industrial Design in LAFA.
- Operation Flow
- The municipal apartment can remove the cover and put Convenience on the top of discharge. After setting Convenience, workers can put the manhole cover in the groove which is between two urinals’ back so that the cover won’t be lost.
