Abstract

The lavatory seat laterally retracts the buttocks, expanding and opening the sphincter muscle of an individual sitting on the seat. It comprises two pads (2,3) which are laterally movable during seating of the individual. These movable pads are displaced laterally towards the seat outside under the effect of the individual's weight. During their lateral displacement they rise obliquely on the seat towards the inside or descend onto the outside of the seat from an initial position inside the seat. The movable parts are held and brought back into their initial positions by a spring (4). The spring is fixed to one part of the seat by screws (6).

Description

Dispositif d'assistance à l'hygiène corporelle lors et du fait de la défécation.Assistance device for personal hygiene during and due to defecation.

L'invention concerne un dispositif qui se présente sous la forme d'un siège tel qu'installé sur la cuvette d'un cabinet d'aisance à laquelle viennent s'ajouter deux parties mobiles sous l'effet du poids d'un individu s'y asseyant.The invention relates to a device which is in the form of a seat as installed on the toilet bowl to which two mobile parts are added under the effect of the weight of an individual s sitting there.

Selon le brevet wo 89/11838 l'appareil décrit, crée une séparation des actions musculaires de part et d'autre de l'avant et l'arrière du plancher pelvien à partir d'un point situé entre le muscle sphinctérien et les parties génitales. Cela permet d'activer les muscles dans les parties arrières du corps qui facilitent la défécation sans activer les muscles à l'avant du corps ces derniers ayant des actions antagonistes aux premiers. La notion d'hygiène corporelle lors de la défécation se situe ici en ce que l'appareil combat les causes de la constipation et préserve la flore intestinale.According to patent wo 89/11838 the device described, creates a separation of the muscular actions on both sides of the front and the back of the pelvic floor from a point located between the sphincter muscle and the genitals . This makes it possible to activate the muscles in the rear parts of the body which facilitate defecation without activating the muscles at the front of the body, the latter having antagonistic actions to the former. The concept of bodily hygiene during defecation is located here in that the device fights the causes of constipation and preserves the intestinal flora.

Les autres brevets se rapprochant du domaine technique en question ont une action stimulant les contractions musculaires contribuant à la défécation et sont une solution à des pathologies.The other patents approaching the technical field in question have an action stimulating muscle contractions contributing to defecation and are a solution to pathologies.

Par ailleurs dans le domaine de l'hygiène corporelle en rapport avec la défécation, il existe le W-C dit: W-C position à la Turc , soit une position accroupie audessus d'une cavité. Cette position contribue plus que la position assise à une action des muscles abdominaux, elle facilite l'expulsion des matières fécales, elle est la position anatomique naturelle idéale à la défécation. Cette position a d'autres particularités importantes non remarquées, qui sont à titre non limitatif: le déplacement latéral des fesses, la détente du muscle sphinctérien et l'ouverture maximum de ce dernier afin de permettre le passage des matières fécales et éviter le contact de ces matières avec l'extérieur du corps.In addition, in the field of personal hygiene in relation to defecation, there is the W-C known as: W-C Turkish-style position, that is, a squatting position above a cavity. This position contributes more than the sitting position to an action of the abdominal muscles, it facilitates the expulsion of feces, it is the ideal natural anatomical position for defecation. This position has other important features that have not been noticed, which are not limited to: the lateral displacement of the buttocks, the relaxation of the sphincter muscle and the maximum opening of the latter in order to allow the passage of faeces and avoid contact of these materials with the outside of the body.

L'invention se présente sous la forme d'un siège tel qu'installé sur la cuvette d'un cabinet d'aisance. Elle est conçue pour recréer la position accroupie dans la position assise de défécation sur la cuvette d'un cabinet d' aisance et en particulier : le déplacement latéral des fesses d'un individu, la détente et l'ouverture du muscle sphinctérien tel que produit naturellement dans la position accroupie de défécation dite " à la Turc ".The invention is in the form of a seat as installed on the bowl of a toilet. It is designed to recreate the squatting position in the seated defecation position on the bowl of a toilet and in particular: the lateral movement of the buttocks of an individual, the relaxation and opening of the sphincter muscle as produced naturally in the squatting position called "Turkish-style" defecation.

Le siège qui peut être abattant ou fixe, installé sur la cuvette d'un W-C est muni de deux parties mobiles qui, en contact avec les fesses d'un individu, s'écartent latéralement vers l'extérieur du siège écartant avec elles les fesses.The seat which can be folding or fixed, installed on the bowl of a WC is provided with two movable parts which, in contact with the buttocks of an individual, deviate laterally towards the outside of the seat spreading with them the buttocks .

Selon le mode particulier de réalisation décrit par les figures (1;2;3) les parties mobiles (2 et 3) sont maintenues et ramenées chacune dans leur position initiale sur le siège(l) par un ressort(4) solidaire d'une partie mobile d'une part sur laquelle il exerce son action et solidaire de (1) d'autre part par (6), figure 3 (vue de dessus de 2 ou 3).Selon les figures (4 et 5) le déplacement des parties mobiles (2 et 3) se fait sous l'effet du poids d'un individu s'y asseyant dessus, à titre d'exemple non limitatif l'angle(o) est de 25 . Les guidages (5), les fixations (5) de (2 et 3) sur (1) et le ressort (4) ainsi que sa fixation (6) décrit en figure 3 (position basse sous l'effet du poids d'un individu) sont à titre d'exemple non limitatif. Ici à titre d'exemple non limitatif les déplacements latéraux de (2 et 3) sont de 1,5cm chacun.According to the particular embodiment described by the figures (1; 2; 3) the movable parts (2 and 3) are maintained and returned each to their initial position on the seat (l) by a spring (4) secured to a mobile part on the one hand on which it exerts its action and integral with (1) on the other hand by (6), Figure 3 (top view of 2 or 3). According to Figures (4 and 5) the movement of moving parts (2 and 3) is done under the effect of the weight of an individual sitting on it, by way of non-limiting example the angle (o) is 25. The guides (5), the fixings (5) of (2 and 3) on (1) and the spring (4) as well as its fixing (6) described in Figure 3 (low position under the effect of the weight of a individual) are by way of nonlimiting example. Here by way of nonlimiting example, the lateral displacements of (2 and 3) are 1.5 cm each.

Les fesses d'un individu (H) en sont entraînées d'autant.The buttocks of an individual (H) are trained as much.

Selon les figures (4 et 5), l'individu (H) s'assied, ses fesses rentrent en contact avec les parties mobiles (2 et 3) qui se déplacent vers l'extérieur du siège (1) par rapport à leur position initiale décrite en figure 4. Les fonctionnements de (2 et 3) sont indépendants l'un de l'autre. Les dimensions du dispositif décrit en les figures (1;2;3;4;5) selon l'échelle indiquée est à titre d'exemple non limitatif.According to the figures (4 and 5), the individual (H) sits down, his buttocks come into contact with the movable parts (2 and 3) which move towards the outside of the seat (1) relative to their position initial described in figure 4. The operations of (2 and 3) are independent of each other. The dimensions of the device described in the figures (1; 2; 3; 4; 5) according to the scale indicated is by way of nonlimiting example.

La présente invention est particulièrement destinée à l'usage public et privé des cuvettes des cabinets d'aisance en position assise. Elle peut être réalisée à titre d'exemple non limitatif en plastique moulé ou injecté et en partie en bois. The present invention is particularly intended for the public and private use of the bowls of lavatories in a seated position. It can be made by way of nonlimiting example of molded or injected plastic and partly of wood.
