Description

The present invention is a feces and urine storage bag for emergencies such as disasters, and can use a flush toilet that has become unusable due to water outage.

In the event of an earthquake or other disaster, the biggest concern is the restoration of water supply. Although drinking water can be handled with anything, restoration of miscellaneous water due to water outage was the last in the lifeline. The biggest damage caused by this is the flush toilet. The present invention has been devised on the assumption that the secret space of the toilet is valuable and should be actively used when the toilet is not damaged.

For storing manure, a polyethylene bag is generally used, which is filled with a water-absorbing agent and attached to the bag after use. The problem in this case is how to attach the bag to the toilet, and the toilet has a thin clue and is difficult.

In the invention of claim 1 for solving this problem, a water absorbing mat is attached to the outside of the storage bag as shown in FIG. This is different from the conventional storage bag affixed inside. Thereby, manufacture becomes easy and also attachment to the toilet bowl mentioned later becomes easy.

As shown in FIG. 3, the bag is attached to the toilet bowl by hooking the mouth of the storage bag to the front edge of the toilet bowl, covering the toilet bowl with the entire bag, and pushing the outside of the bag into the toilet bowl. In this case, the mat turns inside the bag.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, a water absorption mat for solidifying manure is attached to the outside of the storage bag by heat sealing as indicated by a wavy line. This heat welding bonds the mat and the bag film. With this seal, when the storage bag is pushed into the toilet bowl and turned upside down (FIG. 5), the storage bag itself becomes a funnel shape, and it is easy to clean up after the stool.

The invention of claim 3 is to design the size of the mouth of the manure storage bag so as to cover the mouth of the toilet bowl. Thereby, it becomes easy to attach to a ceramic flush toilet with less clues. That is, the storage bag is attached by hooking the mouth of the storage bag so as to cover the entire circumference of the edge of the toilet bowl.

If the manure storage bag by this invention is used, the flush toilet bowl at the time of a water stop will be easily utilized.

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

In order to use the manure storage bag provided with the water absorption mat more conveniently, it is preferable to combine it with corrugated paper. As shown in FIG. 4, when paperboard is used as a jig, it is useful for flush toilets to shut off puddles and for Japanese style toilets to widen the mouth of the bag as expected. Moreover, it is desirable that the processing of the storage bag after the stool is equipped with a string that binds and seals the mouth of the bag.

The feces and urine storage bag according to the present invention can be industrially produced at lower cost, and thus has industrial applicability.

It is a perspective view of a manure storage bag. The side view of the feces and urine storage bag shows a method for attaching the water absorption mat. It is a perspective view which uses a manure storage bag as a set in a toilet bowl. (Wavy line) indicates the heat-welded location where the water-absorbing mat is attached to the manure storage bag. The perspective view which pushed the manure storage bag into the toilet bowl. A paperboard jig for spreading the manure storage bag on the toilet.

Claims (3)

Feces and urine storage bags for emergencies, such as disasters, with a water-absorbing mat on the outside of the bag. A manure solidifying agent is attached to a manure disposal bag made of polyethylene or the like. The solidifying agent in the present plan is made by mixing a water-absorbing polymer with scraps of recycled paper and wrapping them in a non-woven fabric of polyester or polypropylene to form a mat. This mat is heat-sealed to the storage bag with a heat seal. The diameter of the feces and urine storage bag is set to a size that can cover the entire edge of the toilet bowl so that toilet bowls that cannot be used in the event of a water outage due to a disaster or the like can be used.
