Toilet bench boxed toilet

Abstract

A covered toilet includes a cross braced drawer frame positioned around a wall mounted toilet connected to a wall tank and a discharge line in the wall. A sliding cover mounted on hidden tracks covers the toilet in a closed position. A pair of drawers are provided in the frame and may each be used when the cover is in the closed position. In operation, the cover may be slid to one side so that the toilet may be used. Automatic operation may be provided by sensing the presence of a user to open the cover and maintain the cover open while the user is present. The user's departure may be detected so that the cover may be automatically closed and the toilet flushing operation may be automatically actuated.
