ABSTRACT:
A public toilet facility which is self-cleaning, automatic, and handicapped accessible. The facility offers a toilet that not only lowers from a vertical position to a horizontal position, but can be adjusted vertically to different heights. The compact facility has a semicircular door, which is stored behind the equipment and machinery compartment when the facility is unoccupied. This design makes the facility adaptable for narrow sites in that when unoccupied, the facility only takes up the semicircular foot print on the side walk. A spacious interior is created only when the unit is in use.
