Description

Ergonomic squat toilet and related methods

field of invention

The present invention generally relates to toilets. More particularly, the present invention relates to a squat toilet with an improved ottoman that enables the user of the toilet to assume a squat sitting position during defecation.

Background of the invention

Ordinary toilets include two types: toilets with toilet seats and toilets without toilet seats (that is, squat toilets). As everyone knows, the structures of the currently used toilets including these two types of toilets are not fully designed according to the physiological functions of the toilet users.

When using a toilet with a toilet seat, the user can sit on the toilet seat. However, sitting on a toilet seat keeps the abdominal muscles in contraction, making it harder to force waste from the rectum to the anus. Since the toilet seat is usually kept horizontal, the user can sit comfortably on the toilet seat without putting any pressure on the knees, however, the user's abdominal muscles will have difficulty exerting force and will also be in direct contact with bacteria, leading to infection risk.

To use a toilet without a toilet seat (i.e., a squat toilet), the user must sit on his heels or with his legs tightly beneath his body. Using a toilet without a toilet seat can be uncomfortable because of the stress on the knees and toes. People may not be able to maintain a squatting position for long periods of time and may fall backwards. Older people may not be able to stand up from a squatting position. In addition, this type of toilet cannot provide completely reliable excrement sealing, and the user is exposed to a dirty environment due to the close distance to the excrement while discharging the body excrement.

Moreover, the shape of the traditional toilet of the above type can obviously affect the blood circulation of the user's legs. Users tend to put pressure on the buttocks when sitting on the toilet, thereby hindering the voiding process. Importantly, poor circulation and compression is one of the main causes of hemorrhoid pain.

Various studies on toilets and the voiding process have shown that in order to maximize voiding and minimize stress on the toilet user, the user should assume a semi-squat position on the toilet. In this position, the user's thigh muscles rest against the upper groin area, allowing most of the body's waste to be expelled. More specifically, studies have found that elevating the feet about 6 to 12 inches above their normal position on the ground puts the body in a position where it is safer to apply pressure, thus moving most of the body's excrement discharge.

There are several ways to get the body into a more physiologically correct position (often referred to as the "squat"). One approach is to design footrest platforms or devices on each side of the toilet and at the level of the toilet seat so that the user can actually bear their entire body weight on these footrest platforms and maintain a true squat position. This is accomplished substantially without non-foot contact with the toilet body. While this approach appears to help improve the physiological position, it does place the user in a very unstable position and significantly increases the risk of accidental falls and consequent injury.

Another method is to have the user remain seated on the toilet, but simply elevate the user's feet about 9 inches above their normal position. Attempts at this approach fall into two categories. One type is a foot elevation system that is basically built into the body of the toilet. The toilet structure has been redesigned to provide a platform for each foot, each nine feet above its normal position. Unfortunately, the operations required to manufacture a typical porcelain toilet with attached foot lift members can add significantly to the cost and unsightliness of the toilet. Furthermore, the presence of a foot lift member extending forward from the toilet presents some potential problems with other uses of the toilet and may increase various trip injuries and toe injuries for persons using the toilet and walking around the toilet area possibility.

The second category involves providing a non-integral device that sits on or around the front of the toilet and provides a surface to elevate the user's feet into position. One group of designs that take this approach is a simple custom stool that sits in front of or wraps around the front of the toilet. Since most bathroom floors are rather slippery, these freestanding stool structures can be very unstable and can slide forward and away from the toilet, leaving the user in a very unstable position or causing undue stress. Another approach involves including a superstructure extending upwardly from the free-standing stool, allowing the user to hold the stool in place and possibly lean the upper body against the superstructure. However, these types of designs are very expensive to manufacture, have a high center of gravity, are generally unstable, and are very inconvenient to use and store. Furthermore, these types of superstructures do not really prevent the stool on the floor from sliding off the toilet, putting the user in an uncomfortable and potentially dangerous position.

Furthermore, the various modern sanitation systems used in cities/towns can be divided into the following three parts: (a) The city's dedicated sewage system, which connects the toilet sewage pipes to the main sewage pipes. However, such systems are limited to urban areas and cannot be installed anywhere else. The installation of concrete pipes is time consuming and expensive. Such systems also require the use of large amounts of water when flushing. (b) Stand-alone septic tanks on land not covered by the sewage system. Such systems are also expensive to install and can be a health hazard. (c) Water-sealed composting toilets, such as the Sulabh, are connected to the infiltration pit outside the toilet by an easily constructed drain. However, such toilets are extremely costly and expensive to maintain after each use.

In addition, sanitation and hygiene are very important factors in the community. Directly affect the health of a person, a place or a community. In many developing countries, such as India, the lack of toilet facilities has resulted in extremely poor sanitation. People migrate from rural areas to cities in search of jobs and a better life. They are often unable to afford basic items like food and shelter, and are forced to defecate because public toilets are scarce or poorly maintained.

In countries like India, public toilets are poorly maintained, inefficient, unhealthy and unhygienic. Unhealthy and unhygienic public toilets due to poor maintenance is the biggest cause of open defecation in India. The floors in these toilets are often slippery because people tend to splash/pee on the floor while cleaning/cleaning up. Everyone who enters the toilet brings in dust, making the toilet dirty after every use. One of the objects and advantages of the present invention is to make the toilet bowl clean, hygienic, comfortable and free from dirt/odor.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to improve life by providing a comfortable toilet, in particular a squat toilet which is easy to use, clean and maintain.

Purpose of the invention

The primary object of the present invention is to provide a comfortable toilet that is easy to use, clean and maintain.

A second object of the present invention is to make the toilet clean, hygienic, comfortable and free from dirt/odor.

A third object of the present invention is to provide a toilet with an improved ottoman which allows the toilet user to assume a comfortable semi-squatting position during voiding.

A fourth object of the present invention is to provide a toilet with an improved ottoman which allows the toilet user to defecate in only one direction on the toilet, thereby facilitating the maintenance of public facilities.

A fifth object of the present invention is to provide a toilet with an improved ottoman which allows visually impaired persons to correctly identify the squatting direction.

A sixth object of the present invention is to provide a toilet with an improved ottoman which facilitates squatting on the toilet for toilet users having joint or knee mobility problems.

A seventh object of the present invention is to provide a toilet with an improved ottoman which allows the toilet user to assume a comfortable semi-squatting position during voiding.

An eighth object of the present invention is to provide a toilet ottoman which increases the distance from the surface of the bowl so that the user does not come into contact with any unhygienic surfaces/splashes.

A ninth object of the present invention is to provide an improved toilet ottoman which provides good balance and completely solves the problem of comfort and pain relief for the user when attempting to squat.

A tenth object of the present invention is to provide an improved toilet ottoman having a non-slip surface to ensure good balance when squatting.

An eleventh object of the present invention is to provide a toilet with an improved ottoman which is easy to use and clean.

A twelfth object of the present invention is to provide a toilet with an improved ottoman which is aesthetically pleasing.

A thirteenth object of the present invention is to provide a toilet with an improved ottoman which is very low maintenance.

A fourteenth object of the present invention is to provide a toilet with an improved ottoman and splash-resistant surface which does not trap dirt.

Summary of the invention

The present invention meets the above objects by providing a toilet ottoman for a toilet consisting of a toilet bowl and a base on which the toilet rests, providing good balance and completely solving the problem of the user's lowering. Comfort and pain relief issues while squatting.

Accordingly, one aspect of the present invention relates to a squat toilet with an improved ottoman and top surface that does not trap dirt and is easy to use, clean and maintain. A squat toilet includes a toilet bowl and a two-legged ottoman having an upper surface, a lower surface and sides, wherein the upper surface has an upwardly raised profile along the sides such that the ottoman travels from the front side to the The rear side slopes upwards. The slope of the ottoman allows the user to position the foot at an angle, resulting in a comfortable semi-squat position during voiding. The surface of the slope has an anti-slip structure, and the anti-slip structure includes one or more protrusions and grooves.

The inclination angle range of the ottoman is (a) 12° to 18°, (b) 168° to 162°, (c) 90° to 111°, (d) 66° to 90°, (e) 90° ° to 114°, (f) 78° to 72°.

Another aspect of the present invention relates to a fixture for a toilet comprising: a squat toilet, a splashback surface, and a dirt catcher, wherein the squat toilet with the footrest fits in a cutout in the splashback surface, the The splash-proof surface is fixed over the dirt catcher. The splashback surface is provided with contact surfaces and openings to drain any form of dirt such as mud, water, urine, solid waste to remain on the toilet floor. Additionally, the contact surface has a draft angle that ensures that any droplets of water, urine or other liquid will split in two and act as a splash guard.

A third aspect of the invention relates to a method of construction of a squat toilet with an improved ottoman.

Description of the invention

While the invention is capable of embodiments in many different forms, specific embodiments will be described herein, with the understanding that this disclosure should be considered as an illustration of the principles of the invention and not as a limitation of the invention to the embodiments detailed herein.

Referring to Figures 4 and 5, Figures 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D and 1E respectively show a top view, a side view, a perspective view, a front view and a rear view of the ottoman 10 of the present invention. The ottoman 10 is provided with an upper surface 12 , a lower surface 14 and sides 16 , 18 , 20 , 22 . The upper surface 12 has an upwardly raised profile along said sides 16 , 18 , 20 , 22 such that the ottoman 10 slopes upwardly from the front side 16 to the rear side 20 . The slope of the ottoman 10 allows the user to position the foot at an angle so as to be in a comfortable semi-squat position during voiding.

As shown in Figures 2A and 2B, the lift ramps are provided at various angles to provide the desired comfortable squat position. As shown in the figure, the angle ranges are (a) 12° to 18°, (b) 168° to 162°, (c) 90° to 111°, (d) 66° to 90°, (e) in 90° to 114°, (f) at 78° to 72°.

When we are studying a person's squatting state, some anatomical movement terms should be necessary. Motion is usually described in terms of anatomical planes. The plantar plane of the foot is a transverse (also called axial or horizontal) plane, parallel to the ground where the foot contacts. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, dorsiflexion and plantarflexion refer to the extension or flexion of the foot at the ankle. These terms refer to the flexion between the foot and the dorsal surface of the body (considered the front of the leg), and the flexion between the foot and the plantar surface of the body (considered the rear of the leg). The same situation is also shown in Fig. 2(c).

Human squat ability can be divided into three categories:

1. Uncompensated squat: In this position, the user squats down to a resting position where the heels are on the ground and the arms are behind the toes. In this case, the degree of dorsiflexion is great, and the person's ankles have great flexibility and the body is more slender. They can squat with flat feet.

2. Compensated squat: In this position, the user squats down to a resting position. Heels off the ground or arms extended forward. If a person lacks dorsiflexion, their heels may come off the ground. Or, their torso may lean forward excessively for balance. This can make the squat position very uncomfortable for the user.

3. Inability to squat: The user experiences considerable pain when squatting or is unable to reach a resting position. In cases where the user suffers from severe joint problems, knee and hip flexion as well as ankle dorsiflexion are not possible. Therefore, the user cannot squat down completely.

A study of ankle flexibility and different squatting postures and styles revealed that the user was in plantarflexion for a short period of time during standing and secured himself to the ottoman, as shown in Figure 2(d). Subsequently, as shown in Figure 2(e), when squatting, the ankle plantarflexion changes to a neutral position when the foot and leg are at 70° to 90° at the ankle. This results in less ankle dorsiflexion, which makes the squat more comfortable. This reduction in dorsiflexion also distributes the pressure from the toes, ankle, and shinbone across the entire plantar surface of the foot.

The surface of the slope has an anti-slip structure comprising one or more protrusions 24 and grooves 26 . The shape and configuration of the protrusion 24 and the groove 26 are not limited to those shown in the drawings, and may have various shapes and designs. The protrusions 24 and grooves 26 serve as handles to help avoid slipping when sitting down or getting up from a squatting position.

The upper surface 12 is also provided with a first surface 36 and a second surface 38 . The configuration of the first surface 36 provides support for the user's heel, and the configuration of the second surface 38 provides support for the user's toes, so that good balance is maintained when squatting, and the problem of falling backward when trying to squat is solved at the same time. comfort and reduce user pain.

The first surface 36 and the second surface 38 may enable the user to place the toes in place when squatting. The first surface 36 and the second surface 38 may also serve as stops for the user's toes and heels.

The first surface 36 and the second surface 38 help the user maintain an optimal center of gravity (CoG) when squatting on the ottoman. The first surface 36 and the second surface 38 reduce pressure on the knees and provide an even distribution of pressure on the feet, making squatting more comfortable for the user.

The first surface 36 and the second surface 38 also better distribute the user's weight because the surfaces allow the user to properly place the toes and heels in the correct orientation and position.

The ottoman 10 is generally rectangular. However, the shape of the ottoman 10 is not limited to a rectangle, but may be any other shape, such as a square, a half square, an oval, or any other geometric shape.

The lower surface 16 of the ottoman can be secured by known methods to the platform 28 with the toilet 30 to provide a squat toilet 32 . Alternatively, the ottoman 10 can be integrally formed with the toilet 30 so that the squat toilet 32 is of unitary construction.

Referring to FIGS. 3A-3E , a squat toilet 32 including an ottoman 10 and a toilet 30 with a platform 28 is shown. As shown in FIG. 4 , a squat toilet 32 is provided with an outlet 34 secured to a splash guard surface 40 and a collection tank 42 . A flush fitting 52 is also provided. As shown, the ottoman 10 is ergonomically designed to memorize the habits of the user. The ottoman 10 is ergonomically designed with an elevated slope, which helps the user maintain balance better and also helps to balance and distribute pressure when squatting. The ottoman 10 provides low or no pressure on the knees and thighs while squatting for extended periods of time, while being easy and intuitive to use. Most importantly, the ottoman 10 solves the problem of falling backwards when squatting.

Since the ottoman 10 is a new design of an existing squat toilet, the ottoman 10 is commercially viable as it can replace the current squat toilet. The shape of the ottoman 10 is such that the squat toilet 32 is unidirectional. Modern squat toilets are usually two-way, i.e. the user can face either side when using the toilet, this has been a cause of poor maintenance when it comes to cleaning, as users have different habits and it is difficult to add a two-way cleaning system. The ottoman 10 is ergonomically designed with an elevated slope, and it is impossible for the user to squat in the opposite direction, making the squat toilet 32 one-way. The one-way squat toilet 32 ultimately aids in maintenance and cleaning through flushing water and cleaning water.

Another example of a squat toilet 32 is shown with reference to Figures 3F-3L. In this example, the ottoman and toilet are manufactured in one piece. The toilet is installed on the platform as a whole unit. Surface 38 has been marked to make it accessible to visually impaired users. Markings on the toilet should guide the user in the intended manner of using the toilet.

Referring to the drawings as shown in FIGS. 4 , 5A and 5B , the squat toilet 32 with the ottoman 10 can be installed in the cutout 44 of the splash-proof surface 40 which is fixed on the collection tank 42 . Floors in modern toilets are often wet because people tend to spill/splatter urine on the floor while using/cleaning up. Everyone who enters the toilet brings in dust and makes the toilet dirty. To solve this problem, the anti-splash surface 40 is provided with a contact surface 46 and an opening 48 which removes any form of dirt such as mud, water, urine, solid waste, etc., which will remain on the toilet floor to improve the squat toilet 32 environment and hygiene. The splash guard surface 40 can be cleaned by spraying water, and due to the opening 48, the water drains easily. Water or other liquids or dirt that falls on the splash guard surface 40 now flows directly down to the collection channel 42 below the surface 40, allowing it to be cleaned and dried even after multiple uses. Dirt or waste entering the collection tank 42 may be managed for further processing by known methods.

Since dirt buildup on the splashback surface 40 has less/minimum surface area, a very small amount of water needs to be used to clean the surface via a hose or pipe or bucket. As shown in Figure 5B, the contact surface 46 of the splash guard surface 40 has a draft angle 50 that ensures that any water droplets, urine or other liquids will split into two to serve as a splash guard; while dirt or solid waste is easily washed off drop, water will seep through the opening. Thus, the splash-resistant surface 40 helps to facilitate easy cleaning and maintenance of the squat toilet 32 . Also, the splash-resistant surface 40 provides a better grip, providing a non-slip surface for the user.

Figures 6A, 6B and 6C illustrate views of a user using the squat toilet 32 with the improved ottoman 10, which views embody the principles of the present invention. Humans evolved to defecate in a squatting position, not a sitting position. As shown in Figures 6A, 6B, and 6C, during squatting, the anal canal is aligned vertically with the rectum to minimize passage resistance and the act of defecation is virtually effortless. Defecation is more complete, efficient and timely, reducing stool transit time. Reduces the time that fecal toxins are in contact with the intestinal wall, thereby reducing the risk of colon and rectal cancer.

Referring now to FIG. 1, FIG. 7 shows a public toilet equipped with a squat toilet 32 in accordance with the present invention. The squat toilet 32 is ergonomically designed with an ottoman 10 making it easy to adopt in the commercial development cycle of manufacture and installation as it supports current infrastructure and has a very low learning curve in use. Accordingly, the ottoman 10 of the present invention works synergistically with any conventional toilet to fully support the user in an optimal squatting position: (i) Facilitate defecation to avoid strain and the possibility of lower bowel damage. (ii) Avoid constipation and related disorders. (iii) Reduce the risk of hemorrhoids. (iv) Reducing stool transit time to reduce the risk of other disorders in the lower gastrointestinal tract, including serious disorders in the intestinal tract due to fecal toxins.

One aspect of the invention relates to the method of construction of the ottoman 10 . The ottoman 10 can be made of ceramic or stainless steel. Its construction process is not limited to this.

Ceramic Construction Method:

Material Mixing - As a first step, a mix of clay and other natural minerals are added for strength and mixed with water in cold runs.

Casting - After achieving the correct consistency, the mixed material is poured into molds made of plaster of paris (POP). Multiple molds can be assembled together for casting. Configure the mold to match the exact dimensions and design of the ottoman 10 and squat toilet 32 cutouts and toilet bowl 30, including all the smallest details of the design, especially the elevated slope of the ottoman 10, slope angle 10, shelf The non-slip grips 24, 26 on the footstool 10, the shape of the squat toilet 32, the toilet bowl 30 and all its components and rounded corners.

Punching - The mold is provided with one or more holes necessary to pour the liquid into the mold. Pour the mixture into the mold. After a few hours the mold is opened to remove the casting from it.

Casting Cleanup - After the mold is opened and the casting is removed, rough and unwanted edges are cut and removed. Toilet Jet-to-Flush Connector Add and mix by hand.

Drying - After this, the casting is dried, resulting in a detailed sculpture with sharp curves and with the clay still soft enough to create the cutouts for the drainage holes. Give it a quick wipe and let dry overnight.

Coating - Castings i.e. squat toilets and ottomans are still absorbent when dry, so are coated with a chalk, powder glass and glaze mixture (but not limited to) to create a waterproof layer.

Glazing - Leave glaze on the outside of squat toilets and ottomans.

Polishing - Before firing, the surface of the squat toilet and ottoman is cleaned and polished for a smoother finish.

Firing - Firing takes place in three stages:

Stage 1 - Gentle heating of squat toilets and ottomans as sudden application of excessive heat may distort shape.

Stage 2 - Blast in the Klin at 1200 degrees.

Stage 3 - Cool down the squat toilet and ottoman.

Inspection - A quality inspection is performed to determine if the jig is free of any defects such as cracks, dents and any other issues regarding finish and strength.

Water Flow Test - Perform a water flow test to look for leaks, flush flow, and surface water flow.

Once the above is done, the desired squat toilet with ottoman is ready for further use.

Stainless Steel Construction Method:

The ottoman 10 can also be made of metal materials, for example the ottoman can be made of stainless steel sheet metal by using processes such as cold forming and stretching. The squat toilet 32 can be obtained by deep drawing of sheet metal with curved edges to avoid sharp edges. The outlet 34 and flush tube connector 52 can be added to the squat toilet as a hollow tube. The different components are joined together by means of welding. The tire components are buffed. Proper cleaning with the help of detergent will ensure a clean and shiny finish.

Construction method of prefabricated reinforced cement concrete:

Precast concrete is a building product manufactured by casting concrete in reusable molds or ottoman "forms", which are then cured in a controlled environment, transported to the construction site and lifted into place ("tilted up"). Instead, standard concrete is poured into site-specific formwork and cured on site.

Rebar is the most common form of concrete reinforcement. Usually made of steel, it has threads that bond to the concrete as it cures. Steel bars serve multiple functions and can be bent or assembled to support the shape of any concrete structure. Carbon steel is the most common rebar material. However, stainless steel, galvanized steel, and epoxy coating prevent corrosion.

Materials used to make squat toilets with ottomans include, but are not limited to, porcelain (ceramic), stainless steel plastic (LLDPE), high-density grade 4 polyethylene, and UV-resistant treated fiberglass, concrete, ferrite, and more.

The ottoman 10 of the present invention has various uses. For example, the ottoman 10 can be used to perform various yoga poses. Mālāsana or malasana is the term for various squatting āsanas. The term is used in various Western languages and can refer to various asanas, all of which involve squatting. The term malasana is most commonly used for the "regular squat position," also known as upavesasana, in which the palms are folded together in front of the chest and the feet are set wider, similar to the traditional defecation position.

People who have difficulty doing this pose or any other pose or asana that involves squatting can use the ottoman 10 of the present invention to achieve certain yoga poses.

While the invention has been described with reference to particular examples and illustrations, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the invention may be embodied in various forms without departing from the broader spirit and scope of the invention as set forth herein. Therefore, variations of the disclosed preferred examples may become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art upon reading the foregoing description.
