ABSTRACT:
A lavatory system is disclosed. The lavatory system comprises 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, and a motion control device including a damper configured to affect the movement of 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. 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. The damper is configured to control the velocity of the cover during movement.
