ES2249097A1 - Detachable handle for use in toilets, has anchor section for absorbing longitudinal force and arranged to couple receptacle on sidewall of toilet, and complementary base portions to help absorb longitudinal forces on sidewall of toilet - Google Patents

Abstract

The handle has a receptacle for storing a handle portion that is held by a person, and support base for absorbing side forces. An anchor section is provided for absorbing longitudinal force, and arranged to couple the receptacle in various positions on the sidewall of a toilet. Complementary base portions are provided to help absorb longitudinal forces on the sidewall of the toilet. The receptacle is connected and fitted in inverted U form over the sidewall of the toilet. Each of the sections of the handle is detachable, telescopic and arranged in various positions. A nonskid covering is provided on the surface of the handle that comes in contact with the ground, wall or toilet.

Description

Detachable handle for disabled use in toilets

The present invention relates to a handle portable, removable cane type, suitable for docking virtually all commercial toilets. It allows to move by themselves to people with disabilities in their limbs lower from a wheelchair to the toilet. It does not require any type of work on the facilities, it is easy to install and uninstallation and low weight.

Background of the invention

Apart from unreliable home solutions, no there is a specific portable device, removable so many times is needed, which allows a disabled person on a wheelchair move itself to the toilet, the bar elements currently used require work in the installations or at least drill holes on the walls or floors, these being finally fixed handles. Headlines of the present invention, Dr. Santiago Baselga Ariño and Dr. Mario Maza Frechín, have made the design of the present invention, a portable handle for easy assembly and disassembly, adaptable to Commercial toilets and that does not require any type of work.

This support is useful mainly for those people on wheelchairs with handicapped limbs lower.

Description of the invention

The portable removable handle is an assembly formed by a profile simulating a cane with a handle on its upper part and support base profiles that absorb lateral forces. At the same time it has a profile with an anchoring device to the toilet itself to absorb longitudinal stresses and complementary base profiles that help absorb longitudinal stresses in case of not supporting the whole assembly on the side wall.
next.

Each of these elements can be Detachable, telescopic and variable positioning for allow to adapt to any type of toilet and at your disposal Inside the service room.

The surfaces of the support in contact with the toilet, with floor or wall have coating anti-slip.

Brief description of the drawings

For a better understanding of how much is described in the present report, some drawings are attached in which, so By way of example only, a case study of application of the removable toilet handle.

Figure 1 represents the plan, elevation and profile of the basic concept of the toilet handle. Each of the constituent elements is removable and feasible to vary its length according to the direction indicated by the arrows, also the anchor from profile 4 to profile 1 (cane) may vary in position as indicated by the arrow. Figure 2 represents a way of mooring the support to the toilet when there is a wall next, in this case the profiles 5 represented in Figure 1, which will be necessary to place when it does not exist this wall

Description of a preferred embodiment

The removable toilet handle (see figure 1) consists of a profile (1) that will support vertical loads at that a handle (2) is accommodated in its upper part so that it can grab a person and support base profiles (3) that absorb lateral forces. In turn, a profile is available (4) anchor to the toilet itself to absorb stress Longitudinal, which will be joined through a guide to the profile (1) and will have at its end an extensible coupling that will fit in U-shape inverted on the side wall of the toilet. This Extensible coupling will have non-slip coating on its inner face of contact with the toilet. I also know they will have complementary basic profiles (5) that help absorb longitudinal stresses if there is no side wall next to the toilet.

Each of these elements can be Detachable, telescopic and variable positioning for allow to adapt to any type of toilet and at your disposal Inside the service room.

The surfaces of the profiles in contact with the floor, with the wall or with the toilet will also have a non-slip coating.

They will be independent of the object of the invention the materials used in the manufacture of the components of the removable handle for toilets, shapes and dimensions of same and all the accessory details that may arise, as long as they do not affect their essentiality.
