Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Erhöhung der Sitzhöhe auf einem Klosett.The invention relates to a device for increasing the seat height on a toilet.

Derartige Vorrichtungen zur wesentlichen Erhöhung der Sitzhöhe auf einem Klosett, im Folgenden Toilettensitzerhöhung genannt, erleichtern das Aufstehen von einem Klosett, da der Schwerpunkt beim Sitzen auf dem Klosett durch die Toilettensitzerhöhung erhöht ist. Vor allem für Senioren und Behinderte sind derartige Toilettensitzerhöhungen äußerst vorteilhaft. Nachteilig bei diesen bekannten Toilettensitzerhöhungen ist allerdings, dass die mit einem Sitzteil in Verbindung stehenden Armlehnen oftmals keine großen Belastungskräfte bzw. Belastungsmomente aufnehmen können.Such devices for substantially increasing the seat height on a toilet, hereinafter referred to as raised toilet seat, facilitate the emergence of a toilet, since the focus is increased when sitting on the toilet by the raised toilet seat. Especially for seniors and the disabled are such Toilettensitzerhöhungen extremely beneficial. A disadvantage of these known toilet seat heights, however, is that the armrests associated with a seat part often can not absorb large loading forces or load moments.

Hiervon ausgehend liegt zur Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Toilettensitzerhöhung derart auszugestalten, dass deren Armlehne/n besonders stark belastbar ist/sind.Proceeding from this, the object of the invention is to design a raised toilet seat in such a way that its armrest / s is / are particularly strong.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die Toilettensitzerhöhung umfasst:

  • ein auf ein Klosett auflegbares Sitzteil zur Erhöhung der Sitzhöhe., und
  • mindestens eine mit dem Sitzteil verbundene Armlehne,
  • wobei das Sitzteil
    • - eine vertikale Mittel-Ebene und
    • - mindestens eine Armlehnen-Auflage zur Abstützung der mindestens einen Armlehne aufweist, und
  • wobei die mindestens eine Armlehnen-Auflage eine Auflage-Ebene aufspannt, die schräg gegenüber einer Horizontalen von der vertikalen Mittel-Ebene aus nach oben außen verläuft.
This object is achieved according to the invention in that the raised toilet seat comprises:
  • a sitting on a toilet seat part to increase the seat height., And
  • at least one armrest connected to the seat part,
  • the seat part
    • - a vertical middle level and
    • - Has at least one armrest support for supporting the at least one armrest, and
  • wherein the at least one armrest support spans a support plane which extends obliquely opposite a horizontal from the vertical center plane upwards.

Im Gebrauch wirkt also der auf eine Armlehne wirkenden Belastung eine Stützkraft der schrägen Armlehnen-Auflage entgegen. Die Normalkraft der Armlehne ist in Richtung auf die vertikale Mittel-Ebene geneigt. Die mindestens eine Armlehne wird folglich bei einer Belastung nicht nach außen gezwängt, woraus eine erhöhte Tragfähigkeit der mindestens einen Armlehne resultiert. Die mindestens eine Armlehne wird dagegen quasi in Richtung auf die vertikale Mittel-Ebene gedrückt.In use, therefore, the load acting on an armrest counteracts a supporting force of the oblique armrest support. The normal force of the armrest is inclined in the direction of the vertical middle plane. The at least one armrest is consequently not forced outwards under load, which results in an increased carrying capacity of the at least one armrest. The at least one armrest, however, is pressed in the direction of the vertical middle plane.

Vorzugsweise gilt für einen von der Auflage-Ebene und der Horizontalen eingeschlossenen Winkel a: 0° < a < 10°. Bevorzugter gilt für diesen Winkel a: 0° < a < 5°. Am Bevorzugtesten beträgt der Winkel a ungefähr 1,5°. Durch die angegebenen Winkel wird sichergestellt, dass die mindestens eine Armlehne bei einer wirkenden Belastung nicht nach außen abrutschen kann. Die Entstehung unvorteilhaft großer Horizontalkräfte wird außerdem verhindert.Preferably, for an angle enclosed by the support plane and the horizontal, a: 0 ° <a <10 °. More preferably for this angle a: 0 ° <a <5 °. Most preferably, the angle a is about 1.5 °. The specified angle ensures that the at least one armrest can not slip outward under an acting load. The formation of unfavorably large horizontal forces is also prevented.

Es ist zweckmäßig, dass die mindestens eine Armlehne gegenüber dem Sitzteil verschwenkbar ist. Hierdurch ist die Toilettensitzerhöhung besonders gut zugänglich.It is expedient that the at least one armrest is pivotable relative to the seat part. As a result, the raised toilet seat is particularly accessible.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung weist die mindestens eine Armlehne eine Armlehnen-Auflage-Fläche auf. Zweckmäßigerweise ist die. Armlehnen-Auflage-Fläche eben ausgebildet.According to an advantageous embodiment, the at least one armrest on an armrest support surface. Appropriately, the. Armrest support surface flat.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels in Verbindung mit der Zeichnung näher beschrieben. Dabei zeigen:

Eine in Fig. 1 nur zur Hälfte dargestellte Toilettensitzerhöhung 1 umfasst ein zentrales Sitzteil 2 und zwei seitliche, äußere Armlehnen 3, wobei nur die linke Armlehne 3 in Fig. 1 dargestellt ist. Die Annlehnen 3 sind gelenkig an dem Sitzteil 2 angebracht und sind zwischen einer unteren Stütz-Position und einer oberen Hochschwenk-Position verschwenkbar. In Fig. 1 befindet sich die linke Armlehne 3 in ihrer unteren Stütz-Position. Prinzipiell sind die Armlehnen 3 identisch ausgebildet. Sie können aus Kunststoff bestchen. Metallische Armlehnen 3 können ebenfalls verwendet werden.A raised toilet seat 1 shown only half in FIG. 1 comprises a central seat part 2 and two lateral, outer armrests 3, only the left armrest 3 being shown in FIG. The cushions 3 are hinged to the seat portion 2 and are pivotable between a lower support position and an upper lift position. In Fig. 1, the left armrest 3 is in its lower supporting position. In principle, the armrests 3 are identical. They can be made of plastic. Metallic armrests 3 can also be used.

Das aus Kunststoff bestehende Sitzteil 2 weist einen vorderen Rand-Bereich 4, einen hinteren Rand-Bereich 5 und zwei seitliche, einander gegenüberliegende Seiten-Bereiche 6 auf, wobei auch hier wieder nur der linke Seiten-Bereich 6 in Fig. 1 gezeigt ist. Das Sitzteil 2 ist bezüglich einer vertikalen Mittel-Ebene M symmetrisch ausgebildet. Die Mittel-Ebene M könnte Folglich auch als Symmetrie-Ebene bezeichnet werden. Sie verläuft zwischen dem vorderen Rand-Bereich 4 und dem hinteren Rand-Bereich 5.The plastic seat part 2 has a front edge region 4, a rear edge region 5 and two lateral, opposite side regions 6, wherein here again only the left side region 6 in Fig. 1 is shown. The seat part 2 is with respect to a vertical center plane M formed symmetrically. Consequently, the midplane M could also be called the symmetry plane. It runs between the front edge region 4 and the rear edge region 5.

Ferner weist das Sitzteil 2 eine untere, ebene Auflagefläche 7 zur Auflage auf ein Klosett (nicht dargestellt) auf. Gegenüberliegend zu der Auflagefläche 7 erstreckt sich eine obere, ebene Sitzfläche 8 für einen Benutzer der Toilettensitzerhöhung 1.Furthermore, the seat part 2 has a lower, flat bearing surface 7 for resting on a toilet (not shown). Opposite to the support surface 7 extends an upper, flat seat 8 for a user of the toilet seat elevation. 1

Das Sitzteil 2 ist von einer mittigen Öffnung 9 durchdrungen, die sich zwischen der Auflagefläche 7 und der Sitzfläche 8 erstreckt. Die Öffnung 9 entspricht in Form und Größe im Wesentlichen einer herkömmlichen Klosett-Öffnung, während die Auflagefläche 7 im Wesentlichen entsprechend einem oberen freien Klosett-Rand gebildet ist.The seat part 2 is penetrated by a central opening 9 which extends between the support surface 7 and the seat surface 8. The opening 9 corresponds in shape and size substantially to a conventional toilet opening, while the support surface 7 is formed substantially corresponding to an upper free toilet rim.

Von der Auflagefläche 7 springt innenseitig ein Spritz-Ansatz 10 nach unten hervor. Der die Öffnung 9 umlaufende Spritz-Ansatz 10 verhindert, dass bei der Toilettenbenutzung Flüssigkeit, beispielsweise Urin oder Toiletten-Spülwasser, zwischen den oberen Klosett-Rand und der Auflagefläche 7 gelangen kann. Der Spritz-Ansatz 10 ragt dabei teilweise in die Öffnung des Klosetts hinein.From the support surface 7 inside a spray-projection 10 protrudes downwards. The orifice 9 surrounding the spray-neck 10 prevents that when using the toilet liquid, such as urine or toilet flushing water, can get between the upper toilet bowl edge and the support surface 7. The spray-10 protrudes partially into the opening of the toilet.

Über den hinteren Rand-Bereich 5 ist die Toilettensitzerhöhung 1 an einem Klosett zweckmäßig befestigt. In dem hinteren Rand-Bereich 5 der Toilettensitzerhöhung 1 sind außerdem die beiden Armlehnen 3 angelenkt. Die Armlehnen 3 sind um eine im Wesentlichen horizontal verlaufende Schwenk-Achse A verschwenkbar, die im Wesentlichen quer zu der Mittel-Ebene M verläuft. Jede Armlehne 3 weist einen nach innen vorspringenden, im Querschnitt kreisförmigen Lager-Ansatz 11 auf, der mit dem Sitzteil 2 entsprechend in Eingriff steht. Die Armlehnen 3 weisen jeweils eine obere Armablage 12 auf, die über zwei voneinander beabstandete Verbindungsstreben 13 mit einem Grund-Körper 14 in Verbindung steht. Ein vorderer Teil-Abschnitt der Armablage 12 steht dabei gegenüber den Verbindungsstreben 13 über. Der Grund-Körper 14 weist eine - in der Stütz-position - nach unten gewandte Grund-Fläche 15 auf, die eben ausgebildet ist und zur Abstützung der Armlehne 3 gegenüber dem Sitzteil 2 vorgesehen ist.About the rear edge area 5, the toilet seat riser 1 is suitably attached to a toilet. In the rear edge area 5 of the raised toilet seat 1 also the two armrests 3 are hinged. The armrests 3 are pivotable about a substantially horizontally extending pivot axis A, which extends substantially transverse to the center plane M. Each armrest 3 has an inwardly projecting, in cross-section circular bearing lug 11, which is correspondingly engaged with the seat part 2. The armrests 3 each have an upper arm rest 12, which communicates with a base body 14 via two spaced connecting struts 13. A front part portion of the armrest 12 is opposite to the connecting struts 13 via. The base body 14 has a - in the support position - down-facing base surface 15, which is flat and is provided to support the armrest 3 relative to the seat part 2.

In den beiden Seiten-Bereichen 6 des Sitzteils 2 ist jeweils eine von außen und oben zugängliche Armlehnen-Auflage 16 vorgesehen. Jede Armlehnen-Auflage 16 weist eine ebene Armlehnen-Auflage-Fläche 17 auf. Wie aus Fig. 3 und 4 ersichtlich ist, liegt in der Stütz-Position der Armlehne 3 lediglich ein innerer Teil-Abschnitt des Grund-Körpers 14 einer Armlehne 3 auf der Armlehnen-Auflage 16 auf. Ein Großteil des Grund-Körpers 14 der Armlehne 3 ist hier nicht auf der Armlehnen-Auflage 16 abgestützt. Die Armlehnen-Auflage-Fläche 17 liegt in einer Auflage-Ebene E, die die Mittel-Ebene M schräg schneidet. Von außen in Richtung auf die Mittel-Ebene M gehend, verläuft die Auflage-Ebene E nach unten. In anderen Worten, die Auflage-Ebene E erstreckt sich schräg zu einer Horizontalen H, wobei die Autlage-Ebene E in Richtung auf die Mittel-Ebene E hin abfällt. Zwischen der Auflage-Ebene E und der Horizontalen H liegt im bestimmungsgemäßen Gebrauch der Tailettensitzerhöhung 1 ein Winkel a von ungefähr 1,5° vor. Zwischen einer an die Armlehnen-Auflage-Fläche 17 angrenzenden Außenwand 18 und der Auflage-Ebene E liegt ein Winkel b von 91,5° vor.In the two side areas 6 of the seat part 2 each one of the outside and top accessible armrest support 16 is provided. Each armrest rest 16 has a flat armrest rest surface 17. As is apparent from FIGS. 3 and 4, in the supporting position of the armrest 3, only an inner part portion of the base body 14 of an armrest 3 rests on the armrest rest 16. A large part of the basic body 14 of the armrest 3 is not supported here on the armrest support 16. The armrest support surface 17 is located in a support plane E, which intersects the central plane M obliquely. Going from the outside in the direction of the center plane M, the support level E runs down. In other words, the support plane E extends obliquely to a horizontal H, wherein the Autlage plane E decreases in the direction of the central plane E out. Between the support level E and the horizontal H is in the intended use of the Tailette solehöhung 1 an angle a of about 1.5 ° ago. Between an adjacent to the armrest support surface 17 outer wall 18 and the support plane E is an angle b of 91.5 ° before.

Durch die Schrägstellung der Grund-Fläche 15 der Armlehne 3 von oben außen nach unten innen kann die Armlehne 3 in ihrer Stütz-Position bei Belastung nicht nach außen ausweichen und von der Armlehnen-Auflage 16 abrutschen. Dies ist auf die von außen nach innen fallende Armlehnen-Auflagen-Fläche 17 zurückzuführen. Hieraus resultiert eine besonders hohe Tragfähigkeit der Armlehnen 3. Zur Fixierung der Armlehnen 3 sind an dem Sitzteil 2 zwei Stützwände 19 vorgesehen. Jede Stützwand 19 grenzt an die entsprechende Armlehnen-Auflage-Fläche 17 innenseitig an und verläuft senkrecht von dieser nach oben. Die Grund-Körper 14 stehen mit den Stützwänden 19 in Kontakt. Sie verhindern, dass die Armlehnen 2 bei Belastung nach innen wandern.Due to the inclination of the base surface 15 of the armrest 3 from the top out down to the inside, the armrest 3 in its support position under load can not escape to the outside and slip off the armrest support 16. This is due to the falling from outside to inside armrest pad surface 17. This results in a particularly high load capacity of the armrests 3. For fixing the armrests 3, two support walls 19 are provided on the seat part 2. Each support wall 19 is adjacent to the corresponding armrest support surface 17 on the inside and extends perpendicularly from this upwards. The base body 14 are in contact with the support walls 19. They prevent the armrests 2 from moving inwards under load.
