Title: Bathroom appliances

Abstract: In order to save space, a bathroom appliance such as a lavatory pan, urinal, basin or bidet is mounted to turn about a pivot axis between an operative position in which the appliance is accessible for its normal usage and an inoperative position in which the appliance is retracted into a cavity within or behind the structure, e.g. wall or floor, on which the appliance is pivotally mounted. The water inlet and waste outlet to and from said appliance are connected thereto by water tight joints which each include two parts relatively rotatable about the said pivot axis e.g. rotary ring joints.
