A marker plate receptacle, formed by two plates pivotably connected with each other via a film hinge, in which a marker plate is received. A tongue is formed in one piece on the lower end of one of the two plates. It has a hook which can be put over a wall extending perpendicularly to the surface of the inside of the plate and around a through hole. Once the marker plate is inserted and the hook of the tongue, on which a key is placed, is put over the annular wall, the two plates are folded together. The tongue is then form-fittingly maintained between the two plates and the plates themselves are maintained by a form-fitting ridge formed on the annular wall, which extends through the through hole in the rear plate. The form fit is additionally improved with ribs engaging grooves.

A toilet seat (27) is provided with a slide housing (26) comprising nozzles for spraying and/or applying water and/or disinfecting liquid. It comprises at least one wiper for drying the surface of the seat (27). The slide housing (26) is placed over a segment of the seat (27), which then, while being sprayed by the nozzles, is driven in the circumferential direction by at least one electric motor. The entire operation is started up manually by actuating the lever (2) of the flushing water cistern (1), and subsequently is controlled by the control electronics (27) until the cleaning of the seat (27) has been completed. The energy is obtained by a turbine (11), which is mechanically connected to a low-voltage direct-current generator (13), and is driven by the water filling the flushing water cistern (11). The actual flushing water, therefore, flows at the normal kinetic energy into the toilet; the hydraulic resistance of the turbine (11) is not switched on while the flushing water flows into the toilet bowl. The device is extremely reliable, does not carry any dangerous electric voltages, and in addition contains safety measures which prevent possible injuries, in particular of children. It is suitable for use with new installations, as well as for adaptation to already existing toilets.

A wall system comprises a plurality of supporting frames and a plurality of wall panels associated in pairs with each respective frame. The two panels of each pair are interconnected in the regions of their upright marginal portions so as to extend in mutual parallelism and to define a space in which the upright supports of the associated frame are accommodated with clearance from each of the panels. An insulating member is accommodated between one upright support and one of the panels, and another insulating member is accommodated between the other upright support and the other panel. The upright marginal portions of any two adjacent pairs of panels are interconnected in mutual alignment in such a manner that the insulating member associated with the upright support of one pair of panels is situated at the opposite side of the upright support from the side of the upright support of the other pair of panels at which the other insulating member is located so that mediate contact between the two panels of each pair is avoided without sacrificing the stability of the system. The upright supports of each frame are interconnected by transverse beams on which the pair of panels is supported with clearance. Additional rails and rollers may be provided when the wall system is to be used as a sliding partition.
