Description

<Desc / Clms Page number 1>

 The present invention relates to a new generation of intelligent and economical toilets, designed to improve their comfort and make the task easy and pleasant for the disabled and the elderly, thus meeting pollution standards.

 These toilets, which have hardly changed in years.

Today, they still pollute our oceans and rivers because of its thousands of cubic meters of water thrown away by flushing water to flush out feces and urine. Their comfort is limited, their shape hardly helps the disabled and the elderly.

 Even if the toilets have undergone a small change and some improvements, from the Turkish bowl to the English one, from the toilet paper to the cleaning and aesthetic products, But the fundamental remains as it was for years. Over time, faced with technological development, they really feel overwhelmed. They become less comfortable and the task becomes difficult for the disabled and the elderly. They also feel attached to their inseparable flush, the one that wastes millions of cubic meters of water every day around the world and pollutes our beaches and rivers.

 This device according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks. It has a separate urinal effect in the bowl to separate feces and urine. The urinal will be new and entirely independent of this device, as will the disabled person, the one who will be placed behind the toilet, as soon as a disabled person or an old man who has the slightest difficulty in sitting down or getting up from his chair. -rolling, it will help it to rise to put it on the bowl and then return it to its place as soon as its needs end. The urinal and the disabled carrier will both be the subject of a patent for invention.

 The bowl for defecating, has a seat that pivots on a tree in an opposite way by adding to the footrest which will allow us to spread our legs well, better squat, better sit and stand up, whoever will facilitate the task for the elderly and the disabled. The bowl remains fixed in the middle. Its bottom is a toilet bag holder, where we will place disposable toilet bags or feces will be used for each use. A thread on each of these toilet bags, will close it and

 to detach it from the bowl to throw it in the trash. Like that another will be ready for a new use. An automatic cleaner just below the seat, with a small disposable wet mop. Automatically charged with its loading box, it will allow a very soft and very clean wiping. An electric motor integrated inside and a hydraulic system to do all the maneuvers of this device controlled by the control box or memory. A detector to detect the presence of the person and their identification. The one that is connected to the electronic memory, the one that will calculate and position the whole device and the one that will regulate the ambient light and even put music or a perfume for a better comfort desired for each member of the family or each user.

According to particular models of realization:
The bowl will be standard with an ordinary toilet flush but with all the other improvements but without the optional urinal.

 - The seat and the footrest will not be automatic.

 When we sit on the seat, our weight exerts a force that will lower it until it gets on the bowl, something that will lift the footrest. The latter can also be adjusted independently in height according to our wishes.

 - The seat and the footrest will be fully automatic.

 They will be controlled by the memory of the device and actuated by the motor.

 - The bottom of the bowl according to the new invention will be a toilet bag holder, where the disposable toilet bags will be placed or the faeces will be used for each use. In such a case, the device will be accompanied by the urinal. So that, when the use of this device will be only for urine, we will not waste a toilet bag.

 - The bowl will be standard with the flush, in this case, the urinal which is an option will not be really useful.

Si on est étranger au dispositif, il se positionnera par défaut ou par apport à notre taille détectée par le détecteur (17). With reference to these drawings, the device comprises a seat (2) perforated with two hollow hip rests (9), attached to it a bench seat (3) which carries two hand rests (4). All pivot vertically on a shaft (7) in a way opposite to the footrest (l). When we approach the device, the detector (17) will detect our presence and identify us. In his memory, he searches and will position the whole device and will animate an atmosphere (light, music and perfume) according to what we recorded in the last use to find the best comfort. We will get into position, we put our feet on the footrest (l), as soon as we put our buttocks, with the force that we exercise, the seat (2) will land on the bowl (5 ), will raise at the same time the footrest (l), these maneuvers will be made by the engine if it is a fully automatic toilet or by our weight if it is the opposite (According to the particular embodiments).

If we are foreign to the device, it will be positioned by default or by adding to our size detected by the detector (17).

Any new setting and recording on the box against (10) are possible so that another use is recognized.

 After installing, the device will be ready to receive feces and urine. These will fall into the

sachet-toilette (12) qui se trouve dans la cuvette (5). Dès qu'on termine, deux choix sont possibles : Si on choisit un nettoyage automatique sur la boite de contrôle (10), le nettoyeur (11) charge automatiquement du porte lavette (8) une lavette (14) parfumée et un peu mouillée pour un essuyage doux et propre sans toucher à rien (figure 7). Si notre choix, sera un nettoyage manuel (figure 3), avant que le siège (2) soit soulevé, un gel ou une mousse parfumée se jette dans le sachet-toilette plein pour empêcher les mauvaises odeurs de s'échapper. Lorsque le siège (2) est soulevé de la cuvette, avec ses repose-hanche creux (9) et sa forme qui s'ouvre sur l'articulation horizontale (15) (figure 6) permettra de mieux écarter les jambes pour une position agréable pour passer sa main et se nettoyer avec un papier-toilettes ordinaire.

toilet bag (12) which is in the bowl (5). As soon as you finish, two choices are possible: If you choose an automatic cleaning on the control box (10), the cleaner (11) automatically loads from the dish holder (8) a scented and slightly wet dish (14) for gentle and clean wiping without touching anything (Figure 7). If our choice, will be manual cleaning (figure 3), before the seat (2) is lifted, a gel or a scented foam is thrown into the full toilet bag to prevent unpleasant odors from escaping. When the seat (2) is lifted from the bowl, with its hollow hip rest (9) and its shape which opens onto the horizontal articulation (15) (figure 6) will make it possible to better spread the legs for a pleasant position to pass his hand and clean himself with ordinary toilet paper.

 After cleaning, we can press the hand rest (4) to help us get up. If we ever find difficulties, if our case is a little serious, if we are sick or old, the seat (2) which turns on the vertical joint (16) by leaning, can lift us completely to help us stand up (Figure 4). All its operations will be ensured by the electric motor (18) and an internal hydraulic system.

 To evacuate waste, according to the new invention, we no longer flush the toilet to waste a few liters of water. We only remove the closing wire (13) which is on the sachettoilette (12), the one which will allow to close it and remove it from the bowl to throw it in the trash. With this removal, another toilet bag (12) will be removed from the toilet bag holder (6) and will be hooked to the bowl (5) for new use.

 These toilet bags (12) will be in several models, plastic or resistant paper. Their interior will be an absorbent and scented material which will absorb the urine to prevent any leakage after closure.

 The device according to the invention is particularly intended for receiving faeces.
