WATER CLOSET RETRACTABLE HOSE

Abstract

Since 1994 the Malaysian government has launched clean toilet campaign. However, there are still many public toilets that haven’t reach satisfactory hygiene. From 2014- 2016, the government has spent nearly RM60 million on repairs and construction of new toilets. However, the attitude of some people is still the same even though most toilets have been upgraded. The components in public toilet were damaged and caused other users to feel uncomfortable using the toilet. Spraying water everywhere and flooding the cubile. Leaving the water hose on the floor or in the toilet bowl causing the water hose being disgusting to touch as it contacts with dirty water and urinate. Water hose holder being frequently broken and not being replaced for a long time especially in public toilets causing hose to be left on the floor. The objectives to this research are to create a method where waterhose rolls back in place with minimal human effort. The methodology of the pipe is pulling the pipe to desire length when used, pull again the pipe will roll back into its original position. Through the research, we found a component called clockwork spring, as you rotate the spring the sturdy metal springs tightens storing up potential energy, as you let go the stored energy converts into kinetic energy causing it wind up back. The project is limited by the usage in toilet. Key word: 1. Attitude 2. Hygiene 3. Pipes 4. Roll 5. Clockwork spring
