Abstract
There is provided a space-saving and compact swing type door structure of an aircraft restroom, in which a door is automatically closed and which is easy to use for a passenger using the restroom. The swing type door () is slidably hung at its upper end edge () from a rail disposed at an upper portion of a door frame by a guide structure including a slide pin () and is turnably connected in a predetermined position different from the hung position to the door frame by a linkage (). Swinging operation in opening the door () deforms a spring provided in an automatic closing device (). When a hand is released from the door (), the door () is constantly biased in a closing direction by spring resilience through the linkage () and automatically returns to a closed position. Therefore, the restroom becomes easy to use, an aisle in front of the restroom can be used in an emergency, and it is possible to avoid contingencies caused by false recognition of an escape hatch.
