Aircraft passenger cleansing system

Abstract

A method and apparatus for high speed cleansing of passengers aboard an aircraft. A hanging room and adjacent cleansing room. The cleansing room providing a cleansing process comprising a sequence of steps limited timewise for speedily processing passengers, sanitizing of the cleansing room through disinfection and drying comprising the final step prior to entry of a next passenger into the changing room.

1 . A method for sequencing a plurality of passengers through a cleansing system comprising: 
 providing an aircraft lavatory;    providing a shower area adjacent said aircraft lavatory;    wetting a first of said plurality of passengers entering said shower area for a passenger selectable time within a first predetermined time period;    washing said first of said plurality of passengers for a passenger selectable time period within a second predetermined time period;    rinsing said first of said plurality of passengers for a selectable time period within a third predetermined time period;    drying said first of said plurality of passengers for a passenger selectable time period within a fourth predetermined time period;    exiting said first of said plurality of passengers; and,    sanitizing said shower area for a fifth predetermined time period prior to entry of a second of said plurality of passengers.    
     
     
         2 . The method according to  claim 1  wherein said first time period is less than 60 seconds; said second time period is less than 240 seconds, said third time period is less than 600 seconds, said fourth time period is less than 600 seconds, said fifth time period is less than 90 seconds.  
     
     
         3 . In combination in an aircraft: 
 a combination lavatory, shower, and changing room having a toilet;    controls in said lavatory, shower, and changing room having a toilet;    said controls operable by an airline passenger for controlling time periods for sequentially wetting, washing, rinsing, and drying said airline passenger; and,    said time periods selectable below predetermined time limits for high speed cleansing of passengers during flight of the aircraft.    
     
     
         4 . A cleansing system in an aircraft comprising: 
 a changing room and adjacent cleansing chamber including a shower;    controls in said cleansing chamber;    said controls operable by an airline passenger for controlling time periods for sequentially wetting, washing, rinsing, and drying said airline passenger; and,    said time periods selectable below predetermined time limits for high speed cleansing of passengers during flight of the aircraft.    
     
     
         5 . A high speed method for cleansing sequentially a plurality of persons in a cleansing area, said method comprising: 
 wetting a person by spraying for a selectable time period less than a first predetermined time period;    washing said person for a selectable time period less than a second predetermined time period;    rinsing said person for a selectable time period less than a third predetermined time period;    drying said person for a selectable time period less than a fourth predetermined time period; and, then    sanitizing and drying said cleansing area for a period less than a fifth predetermined time period.
