Abstract (en)
The lavatory bowl is raised between a normal height level and at least one more higher level, by an electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic drive. The bowl is fastened directly to a lifting device, pref. via e.g. hooks of the device, which pass through apertures in the bowl. Alternatively, the bowl is supported on a height-adjustable element, e.g. a plate, a surrounding container, ring, or clamp device. The lifting device has two flexible connection hoses or telescopic tubes, fastened to the bowl and to a flushing water cistern and waste outlet.
