Definitions

  • the present specification refers to a lavatory having an incorporated platform for placing a person's feet with height adjustment and blocking, the evident purpose of which is to be used like a conventional lavatory, destined to allow an user to carry out a normalized movement - of the bowels, having, at the same time, a platform, which qualified to be adjusted in height, facilitates in a restricted sense the user's movement of the bowels in the - event of said user suffers with constipation, so obtaining a softening of this anomaly, and, consequently to facilitate the user's movement of the bowels, since according to the incorporated platform, on which a user - places his/her feet, he/she can flex the legs, modifying the customary position with a most natural position for the human body, so obtaining that the height and inclination of feet, facilitated by the platform, aid to a movement of the bowels in the strict sense.
  • the platform is destined to configure a posture thanks to which the muscles of the abdominal packet generates an anal sphincter loosening, so making easy the movement of the bowels.
  • the present invention will find application in the industry devoted to the manufacture of lavatories and similar sanitation material.
  • this element involves to make use of it in a reliable manner, moving it away once the movement of the bowels - has finished, and placing it again in front of the lavatory when a user having the above mentioned characteristics needs to go to the lavatory in order to carry out a new movement of the bowels.
  • the lavatory having an incorporated platform for placing a person's feet with height adjustment and blocking as proposed by the invention is configured like an element capable of being used, on the lines of its characteristics, like a conventional lavatory allowing the platform incorpored on which a person's feet are placed, to be used, so relaxing the muscles of the abdominal packet, which involves the anal sphyncter to be relaxed, and making easy the - movement of the bowels of those persons suffering - with constipation.
  • the lavatory having an incorporated platform for placing a person's feet with height adjustment and blocking of the invention is constituted starting from a practically conventional lavatory, having incorporated a platform which, being placed in front of the lavatory, in a fixed or auxiliary way, allows the movement of the bowels of persons having constipation problems who need to be helped to relax the anal sphincter.
  • the invention is constituted starting from a lavatory having an adjustable height platform, having insertions for adjusting and hooking the platform, having an appropiate inclination angle and a horizontal support.
  • the platform has appropiate dimensions, in order to allow the user's feet to be adequately positioned,-flexing in consequence his/her feet, and, then, obtaining that the muscles of the abdominal packet be in an appropiate condition to relax the anal sphincter.
  • the lavatory will be use in a conventional manner, the platform remaining in a position leant against the area of the front surface of the lavatory without impairing any way a fully normalized movement of the bowels.
  • the lavatory having an incorporated platform for placing on a person's feet with height adjustment and blocking of the invention is constituted starting from a conventional lavatory, on which and at the lower zone, steel guides are incorporated, which adopt a "U" shape (1), having a support sliding inside the guides (1) and relying on a platform or bowl (3), where feet are supported.
  • the bowl (3) can be retracted towards the lavatory zone, reducing its usage space, and obtaining that this invention has not any application or use when the lavatory (not referenced) will be - used by a person or user who does not suffer with constipation.
  • the function of the invention is to adjust the height of the own foot supporting element (3), obtaining a truly user's feetrest, and at the - same time to flex his/her legs, and in consequence, on the lines of the action of the position on the - muscular abdominal packet, to open or loosen the anal sphyncter and obtain the movement of the bowels.
  • this lavaotory must obviate the ingestion of - medicines or laxatives, since on the lines of a constant daily use, the operation of the movement of the user' bowels is specifically improved, without any negative repercussion of his/her body.
