DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a chair type that can be used safely, easily, and cleanly by elderly people, people with weak legs, and people with physical disabilities without the help of a caregiver. It relates to a simple toilet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Chair-type simple toilets developed for the elderly, people with weak legs, and people with physical disabilities are becoming widespread in various facilities, hospitals, and homes. As an example of this type of conventional simple toilet, as shown in FIG. 8, a bucket-type toilet (not shown) is provided under an openable / closable toilet seat 22 hinged to a seat surface of a chair-type toilet body 21. There is an openable / closable sitting pad 23 attached to the upper part of the toilet seat 22 with a hinge, and an armrest 24 is attached to both sides of the toilet seat 22. In this chair type toilet, the sitting pad 23 is raised as shown in the drawing and overlaps with the backrest when the toilet is used, and the sitting pad 23 is used as a backrest, while the seating pad 23 is used when used as a chair. To be overlaid on the toilet seat 22.

[0003] However, when the simple toilet having such a structure is used as a chair, the sitting pad 23 is superimposed on the upper surface of the toilet seat 22, so that the surface of the toilet seat 22 is contaminated with dirt.
When the toilet is used, the back of the sitting pad is used as a backrest, so that the surface of the toilet seat 22 needs to be wiped off at all times. Had the disadvantage of being uncomfortable.

In order to solve the above-mentioned difficulties, various chair-type simple toilets have been proposed in which the contact surface of the sitting pad with the toilet seat 22 does not hit the back. For example, the chair-type simple toilet shown in FIG. 9 has a structure in which a toilet seat 32 is attached to a seat surface of a chair-type toilet body 31 and detachable armrests 33 are attached to both sides of the toilet seat 32. Numeral 34 is attached to the inverted concave support pipe 35 whose both ends are rotatably pivotally connected to the toilet seat 32. The central portion on the rear side thereof is rotatably mounted. When the toilet is used, the sitting pad 34 is attached to the toilet body as shown. The seat pad 34 is slid toward the back of the toilet seat 32 and slanted forward to the side of the toilet seat 32, and hangs down to the back side when used as a chair.
Is pulled up, pulled forward, and placed on the toilet seat 32. Accordingly, in the case of this simple toilet, even if dirt on the surface of the toilet seat 32 adheres to the back surface of the sitting pad 34, the back surface of the sitting pad 34 is bent forward toward the toilet seat 32, so The above-mentioned problem is solved by the fact that only the side edge of the sitting pad 34 hits, and the dirty surface does not contact the back of the toilet user.

The chair type simple toilet shown in FIG. 10 uses a seat pad which can be folded in two as a means for preventing the contact surface of the sitting pad from contacting the toilet seat with the back. In a chair-type simple toilet with detachable armrests 43 attached to both sides of a toilet seat 42 attached to a seating surface of a main body 41, a sitting pad 44 that can be folded in half from the center is hinged to the end of the toilet seat 42. When the toilet is used, the sitting pad 44 is folded inward as shown in the figure to stand on the backrest side of the toilet body, and when used as a chair, The inwardly folded sitting pad 44
Is opened and placed on the toilet seat 42. Therefore, in the case of this simple toilet, even if dirt on the surface of the toilet seat 42 adheres to the back surface of the sitting pad 44, the back surface that becomes the dirty surface by folding the sitting pad 44 inward faces inward, Since the upper surface of the sitting pad 44 serves as a backrest surface, the above problem is solved.

[0006]

However, the above-mentioned simple toilet has the following drawbacks. First, when the toilet is used, the sitting pad 34 is pushed to the rear side of the toilet body to be tilted forward and downward toward the toilet seat 32 so as to hang down. Since the sitting pad 34 hanging down to the side has to be pulled up and pulled toward the user, the sitting pad 34 is pulled up alone and set on the toilet seat 32, especially for elderly people with weakness or handicapped persons. It is difficult to use the toilet, and the upper part of the sitting pad 34, which is inclined forward and bent down to the back side of the toilet body when using the toilet, projects to the toilet seat side from the backrest portion of the chair. It is undesired because it gets in the way. A simple toilet bowl shown in FIG. 9,
Since none of the conventional chair-type simple toilets including the simple toilet shown in FIG. 10 using the two-fold type sitting pad 44 has a deodorizing function, when used as a chair, uncomfortable feeling due to residual odor is inevitable. There was a problem that was. In addition, the above-mentioned conventional chair-type simple toilet has the inconvenience that armrests provided on both sides are obstructive and cannot enter or exit from the side of the toilet seat. Further, the above-mentioned conventional simple toilet has a disadvantage that the toilet seat and the sitting pad are of a fixed type and cannot be easily removed, so that they cannot be easily replaced and cleaning is inconvenient.

The present invention has been improved in order to solve such a conventional problem, and it is easy to use a sitting pad even for an elderly person without arm strength or a handicapped person, and a sitting pad is used. The armrests have a deodorizing function to eliminate discomfort, and the length of the armrests is variable so that they can be easily accessed from the side of the toilet seat, and the armrests can be shortened according to the needs of the user. An object of the present invention is to provide a chair-type simple toilet configured to be used as a handle and a long handle.
