DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a seat type toilet having standing handrails on both sides of a toilet body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIG.
There are known seated toilets having handrails 2 erected on both sides of the toilet. In the seated toilet, the toilet body 1 is made of ceramic and has an opening 3 for defecation, a support frame is installed on a floor 7 around the toilet body 1, and an upper end portion of the support frame is provided. A handrail 2 is provided. In this case, when the user sits on the toilet body 1 or stands up from now on, it can be easily operated by holding the handrail body 2.

[0003] However, in the seated toilet,
On the floor 7 around the toilet body 1, the support frame becomes an obstacle,
In particular, there is an obstacle when approaching with a wheelchair, and it is difficult to clean the floor 7 around the toilet body 1.
There was a problem that the feet around did not fit in a neat appearance.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, there is also known a seating toilet in which a handrail body 2 is erected on one side of a toilet seat 6 pivotally supported via a mounting portion 9 on a toilet body 1. In the seated toilet, a pair of front and rear support bars bent outward and upward is protruded from a side portion of a synthetic resin toilet seat 6, and a handrail body 2 is installed between upper ends of both support bars. In this case, although the above-mentioned problem is solved, the handrail body 2 and the support bar
Or the handrail body 2 erected via a bent support bar on the toilet seat 6 made of the same synthetic resin has a weak supporting strength.
There is a problem that the strength is insufficient to support the body by holding the handrail body 2.

[0005] As shown in FIG. 5, it is conceivable to improve the handrail body 2 on the upper surface of the toilet body 1, and in this case, a bolt 12 is provided on the upper surface plate 11 of the toilet body 1. The handrail 2 is provided at the upper end of the bolt 12 while being sandwiched and erected by the pair of nuts 13. Even in this case, it is necessary to support the body with the handrail 2. There remains a problem that the strength is insufficient, and a new problem that the assembling work of attaching the both handrails 2 to the toilet body 1 via the bolts 12 and the nuts 13 is required, which makes the manufacturing difficult. Is what happens.

[0006]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve all the problems in the prior art described above, and its object is to provide a wheelchair that is easy to clean because the surrounding floor surface is neatly cleaned.

[0011] Therefore, in this case, especially, the rear wall portion erected on the rear side of the defecation opening of the toilet body and the handrails on both sides are connected to each other. With your hands in hand, you can easily sit down by applying the back of your waist to the rear wall.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided the seated toilet according to the second aspect, wherein the handrail body and the rear wall on both sides surround the outer peripheral edge of the toilet body except for the front edge. It is characterized in that the enclosed recessed portion is used as a seating portion.

Therefore, in this case, especially, the outer peripheral edge except the front edge of the toilet body is surrounded by the handrail bodies on both sides and the rear wall portion, and the enclosed concave portion becomes a seating portion. The waist can be seated in the seating portion and seated more comfortably.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the seated toilet of the third aspect, an outer shape toilet seat substantially conforming to the seating portion is pivotally supported at a rear end portion of the seating portion. It is characterized by the following.

Therefore, in this case, in particular, since the toilet seat having an outer shape substantially conforming to the seating portion is pivotally supported by the rear end portion of the seating portion, the seat can be easily seated on the toilet seat. Can be pivoted up and down without hindrance, and can be stored in the seating portion in a good format.
