Abstract

The present invention relates to toilets on-board a vehicle. In order to provide a toilet assembly onboard a vehicle providing increased user comfort, a passenger lavatory unit (10) is provided that comprises an enclosing structure (12) at least partly enclosing a lavatory space (14), and a toilet assembly (16) arranged inside the lavatory space. The toilet assembly comprises a toilet bowl (18) for receiving and discharging faeces material, and a shroud structure (20) for providing a support for the user during use of the toilet. The toilet assembly is provided as a hybrid toilet configured to be used as a sitting toilet in a first mode of use, and as a squatting toilet in a second mode of use. The shroud comprises an upper edge (22) at least partly surrounding an upper opening (24) of the toilet bowl. For allowing the user to adopt a sitting position during the first mode of use, the upper edge is provided as a toilet seat (26), and a feet-placing area (28) is provided on a floor segment in front of the toilet assembly. The shroud comprises two lateral tread portions (30), one on either side of the toilet bowl. For allowing the user to adopt a squatting position during the second mode of use, the tread portions are provided as elevated rest-platforms, which are arranged on an intermediate level (32) provided above a floor level (34) and below a toilet seat level (36).
