DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION
There is provided a means for constipation-relieving especially for older
and/or handicapped people that suffer from constipation and do not have the
flexibility to lift their legs to a squatting or semi-squatting position when sitting on a conventional toilet seat. The toilet arrangement in accordance with embodiments
of the present invention enabling a user to take a natural, squatting sitting posture
in which the angle between the thighs and the torso is between 20 to 50 degrees
during defecation.
Referring first to Fig. 1, there is shown a user 20 sitting on a toilet seat
where his feet 24 are resting upon an inflatable air bag member 26 in accordance
with one embodiment of the present invention. The air bag member 26 includes an inflatable airbag 28 an air compressor 30 to compress air to the inflatable air bag
28 and inflating the airbag 28. The air compressor 30 can be powered by a battery
or by connecting to a power plug in a house. The air compressor 30 can be activated
or deactivated by a switch or can be wirelessly controlled through a controller
device or through a dedicated application on a mobile device such as but not
limited to a smart phone or tablet. The compressor outlet is connected in one end
to an air tube 32. The other end of the air tube is connected to the inflatable airbag
28. The airbag apparatus 26 further includes two-way air valve 34 that regulates
the airflow into or out the inflatable airbag 28. The air bag apparatus 26 further
includes a connector bushing 36 that connects the air tube 32 to the inflatable
airbag 28. One or more no-slip pads, not shown can be attached on the top surface
of airbag 28 to prevent slippage of the feet of the user. The airbag 28 can be made
of fabric or plastic that can be inflated to provide cushioning and deflated when
the airbag is not in use. The air pressure inside the airbag 28 is greater than the
atmosphere pressure, providing strong compressive strength and flexibility.
Operation:
When the user 20 suffers from a constipation, and he is going to the toilet and seats on the toilet seat 22. In this stage, the airbag 28 is uninflated and the user
can easily put his feet 24 on the airbag 28 even if he is an older person and he
is not flexible enough and have weak muscles. After the user 20 puts his feet on
the airbag 28 the user activates the air compressor 30. Then, the air compressor
compresses air to the airbag 28 through the two-way valve 34 and the air tube 32.
The airbag 28 is thereby inflated to a height of about 20-50 centimeters which
causes the user foots 24 lifted automatically without any user's body muscle effort, lifted from the ground level to a position where the user is in a squatting/semi-
squatting position as shown schematically for example in Fig. 3. This posture gives
relief to the user during the movement of the bowels with the possibility of a
rehabilitation. Squatting instead of sitting improves the alignment of the user
bowels by relaxing the puborectalis muscle. In a sitting position this muscle can
be tight around the colon, creating a kink and keeping the body from proper
elimination. By lifting the feet to a squatting position, this muscle relaxes and create a more direct path for elimination. By relaxing this muscle, gravity does
most of the work, helping to prevent straining that can lead to hemorrhoids and
pelvic wall problems. When the user finishes with the toilet the air that was trapped
inside the inflated airbag 28 is released from the airbag 28 and the airbag 28 returns
to its uninflated position. Afterwards, the user can stand up and leave the toilet
seat.
Referring to Fig. 2 there is shown a wheeled platform 40 including a platform 42 and rollers 44 connected to the bottom portion of the platform. When
the user rests his feet on the platform, he can move the platform to the sides
designated by arrow 46. In some embodiments of the present invention the wheeled
platform may include motors connected to the rollers and a controller to control
the motors actuations, where the user can actuate the motors clockwise or
counterclockwise for moving the platform automatically to the sides. Yet in
another embodiment of the present invention the inflatable air bag 28 that is shown
in Fig. 1 is attached to the platform 42 of the wheeled platform 40 and the user's
feet is resting on the inflatable air bag 28, not shown in figure.
In Figs. 3 to 7, there is shown another embodiment of the present invention including a compressor 30 preferably, positioned behind the toilet bowel 50, two
inflatable airbags 28 attached to the cover seat 22 by any suitable means known in
the art. Two-way directional air valve 34 and air tubes 32 connected in one side to
the air compressor 30 and in the other end to the inflatable airbags 28. In some
embodiments of the present invention the airbags are detachable for example but
not limited to by magnets where the air bags can be removed from the toilet seat
when they are not in use or if there is a need to clean the airbags.
Operation:
Before the user seats on the toilet cover seat 22 the airbags 28 are not
inflated with air as shown for example in Fig. 3 and Fig. 5. The user seats on the
uninflated air bags 28 where his biceps femoris 44 is positioned upon the uninflated
air bags 28. When the user activates the compressor 30 wired or wirelessly, the air
bags start to inflate with air such that the airbags 28 are inflated to a height that
causes his legs to bend without any effort to a squatting or semi-squatting position as shown schematically for example in Fig. 3. When the user finishes with the
toilet, the captured air in the airbags 28 is released from the air bags 28 and they
return to uninflated position. Afterwards, the user can easily stand up from the
toilet seat 22 wash his hands flush the toilet and leave the toilet room. The
embodiments that are shown in Fig. 3 to Fig. 7 can be used also for users that one
or more of their legs are amputated.
Referring to Fig. 8 shows another embodiment 70 of the present invention which includes a scissor mechanism legs 72 having a foot platform 74 and a base
78. In some embodiment of the present invention at the floor 70 can be a recess
76, such that when the platform 74 is in its lowest position the platform 74 is in the
same plane of the floor 70. A scissors mechanism uses linked, folding Extension
is achieved by applying pressure to the outside of a set of supports located at one
end of the mechanism, elongating the crossing pattern. This can be achieved
through hydraulic, pneumatic, mechanical or simply muscular means.
It may require no power to return to its original position, but simply a
release of the original pressure.
Fig. 9 is a schematic side view of another embodiment of the present
invention. The toilet apparatus 60 includes a platform 62 on which the user's feet
64 is rested. On the bottom portion of the platform 62 attached a telescopic lifter
66 that can be controlled by a handle 68 to lift upward or downward the platform
62 which can be operated like but not limited to scissor-type jack. In some
embodiment of the present invention at the floor 70 can be a recess, not shown,

pneumatic means known in the art can be provided. In some embodiments of the
present invention also possible to move the platform upwards or downwards
manually. In other embodiments of the present invention the user can control the
telescopic lifter wirelessly and automatically without using the handle by any
suitable means known in the art.
Operation: Before the user 20 seats on the toilet cover seat 22 the platform 62 is
lowered to its lower position. When the user 20 sits on the cover seat 22, he also
puts his feet 64 on the platform 62. When the user lifts the platform, for example
by operating the handle as shown schematically in Fig. 8, the platform 62 is lifted
to a height that causes the user to be in a squatting or semi-squatting posture or
position. When the user finishes, the user may press a button or any other triggering
means, for example on the handle to release pressure from the telescopic lifter and thereby the platform is lowered slowly to its lowest position. In this stage the user
can stand up and leave the toilet after cleaning his hands with soap.
Referring to Fig. 10, there is shown schematically a toilet apparatus 80 for
lifting user feet to squatting or semi-squatting position in accordance with another
