DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a portable toilet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, front and rear two
A portable toilet having a pair of armrests formed by connecting the upper end of a vertical rod to a horizontal rod is disclosed in, for example, JP-A-11-276379.
No. in the official gazette.

[0003]

However, in such a portable toilet, the front end of the horizontal rod is substantially the same as the vertical rod, so that the user can easily grasp the front end of the armrest. There is a problem that it is difficult to stand up and sit down.

[0004] It is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems and to provide a portable toilet which allows a user to easily stand and sit by holding a front end of an armrest.

[0005]

According to the portable toilet of the present invention, a pair of armrests each having an upper end of two front and rear vertical bars connected to a horizontal bar are provided upright on both sides of the upper surface of the toilet body. The front end of the horizontal rod protruding forward from the front vertical rod is substantially hemispherical.

[0006] In the portable toilet of the present invention, the material of the toilet body is not particularly limited.
P) and hard thermoplastic resins such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE).

[0007] A backrest may be provided upright on the toilet body so as to take a relaxed posture when seated. The backrest may be formed integrally with the toilet body or may be formed separately and detachable as required.

In the portable toilet of the present invention, the material of the armrests erected on both sides of the upper surface of the toilet body is not particularly limited as long as it has a load strength sufficient to support the weight of the user. However, for example, synthetic resin coated metal, wood, fiber reinforced synthetic resin (FRP), acrylonitrile-butadiene-
Hard thermoplastic resins such as styrene (ABS) and polyamide (PA) are exemplified.

The method of attaching the armrest to the toilet body is not particularly limited. For example, a circular blind hole is formed in the upper surface of the toilet body, and the tip of the columnar vertical rod of the armrest is detachably inserted. I just need. If the rear vertical rod is longer than the front vertical rod and only the front vertical rod can be turned horizontally outward with the blind hole removed, the user can use it from the side wheelchair etc. It has the advantage that it can be easily transferred to a toilet.

It is preferable that the front vertical rod of the armrest is erected below the front surface of the toilet body. This is because if the front vertical rod is erected near the front surface of the toilet body, the thighs are pressed inward when seated and are cramped.

The tip of the horizontal rod protruding forward from the front vertical rod of the armrest is substantially hemispherical. This is because, when the user stands and sits, it is easy to put his / her hand on the tip of the horizontal rod and manage the power.

It is preferable that the front end of the horizontal rod projects substantially to the front of the toilet body. When the front end of the horizontal rod is located behind the front of the toilet body, when the user stands and sits,
This is because it is necessary to take an unreasonable posture to grip the horizontal rod.

The cross-sectional shape of the horizontal rod is not particularly limited.
Even if you do not hold the horizontal bar when you are sitting, the upper surface is wide and almost flat, approximately flat oblong, approximately square round horizontal, so that the forearm is placed on the upper surface of the horizontal bar and it is easy to maintain body stability. It is preferable that the shape is made.

A folded edge (not shown) is provided around a substantially annular step around the opening. A substantially horseshoe-shaped toilet tank in plan view is supported.

Above the opening of the toilet tub, a substantially horseshoe-shaped toilet seat having a substantially egg-shaped opening (not shown) and an upper lid 2 for completely covering the toilet seat are independently rotatable up and down. Axle-mounted. The approximately halved front half and rear half of the upper lid 2 are connected to be foldable in two.

A substantially inverted U-shaped backrest 3 in which an elastic body is fixed to the front of a horizontal rod connecting the upper ends of two vertical rods, the ends of the vertical rods are engraved on both sides of the upper surface of the toilet body 1 at the rear. It is erected in the blind hole.

A pair of armrests 4 formed by connecting the upper ends of two front and rear vertical rods 41 and 42 to a horizontal rod 43 are formed in circular blind holes formed on both sides of the upper surface of the toilet body 1 by vertical rods. The distal ends of 41 and 42 are detachably inserted and installed. The front end of the horizontal bar 43 projecting forward from the front vertical bar 41 is substantially hemispherical.

[0019]

Since the portable toilet of the present invention is constructed as described above, the user can easily stand and sit by holding the front end of the armrest.
