Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to an infant toilet seat,
In particular, the present invention relates to an infant toilet seat suitable for infant toilet training.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an infant toilet seat has been used for safely covering an infant of about one and a half years to five years old in an adult toilet. A commonly used infant toilet seat includes a seat portion and a handle portion provided in front of the seat portion, and the seat portion is placed or mounted on an adult toilet. Then, the infant straddles the seat, and the handle is supported by both hands to add to the seat. By the way, toilet training is performed to give infants who have grown up at the time of diaper removal a habit of using the toilet. In such a case, the infant toilet seat is used, but there is a problem that the infant reluctantly wants to go to the toilet at the beginning of the toilet training for the infant.

[0003] In view of the above, various types of infant toilet seats that have been devised to attract the interest of infants are commercially available. As a typical example, there is an infant toilet seat in which an animal toy, a doll, or the like is attached to the front of the seat in a forward direction, that is, in the same direction as an infant straddling the seat. However, even if a simple animal toy or doll is attached to the front of the seat, the interest of the infant will not last long, and the infant straddling the toilet seat will see only the back of the animal toy or doll, There is a problem that it cannot be used while being used. A melody generator attached to an infant toilet seat is commercially available as a melody toilet trainer. In this infant toilet seat, the melody generator incorporated therein is activated by the moisture of the infant when the infant adds to the toilet, so that the infant is interested. However, in order to stably detect moisture, the reliability must be considerably high, and there is a problem that the device becomes complicated and expensive.

[0004] Furthermore, there is a device that attaches a language generator to the infant toilet seat and presses a button to compliment the infant in a language such as "Is it possible to do so?" is there. However, this type also has a problem that the sound is simply output from the infant toilet seat, and the infant immediately loses interest. Most importantly, all of these traditional products are only used in the bathroom or conditioned by rewards after the addition, and the `` children in the bathroom '' I don't want to go. "

[0005]

Thus, the container 23 is detachably attached to the front side of the seat 2.

Next, an example of a method of using the infant toilet seat 1 to perform toilet training for an infant will be described.

Therefore, it is possible to expect an image learning effect by repeating the toilet training while keeping the child's interest in the sense of play, and it is possible to give the infant the lifestyle to use the toilet in a short period of time. This makes it possible for infants to overcome a sense of discomfort and fear of a toilet that is unknown for the first time with a strong interest, and to easily invite them to the toilet, which is a challenge for training. Further, according to the infant toilet seat of the second aspect, since the water discharging means 5 has the flexible container 23 for storing water and the water discharging tube 25 communicating with the container 23, it is simple. The infant toilet seat can be configured at a low cost with a structure.

Further, according to the infant toilet seat of the third aspect, the infant can be shown the state of water discharge from the doll.
Next, according to the infant toilet seat of the fourth aspect, the doll can be removed from the seat portion, shown to the infant, and the infant can be guided to the toilet.
