Description

  The present invention generally relates to portable toilets, and more particularly, is a self-supporting support that is conveniently placed on the side of a bed so that a user can transfer to the portable toilet by himself or with the help of a caregiver. The present invention relates to a portable toilet as a care product.

  As portable toilets that are suitable for use on the side of a bed, chair-type portable toilets having long and short left and right handles are widely used (Patent Documents 1 and 2). This type of portable toilet has one handle that is shorter than the full length of the side edge of the toilet seat (short handle), so the user can use the space in front of this short handle either by himself or with the help of an assistant. It has the advantage of being able to transfer to the toilet seat of a portable toilet in a sitting position from the side, and is attracting attention as a self-supporting care product.

  In the portable toilet of Patent Document 1, the length of the handle far from the bedside is longer than the total length of the side edge of the toilet seat, and is set to a length dimension protruding forward of the portable toilet. In order to clarify the difference from Patent Document 2 described later, the portable toilet of Patent Document 1 will be referred to as a “front protruding handle” type, and the long handle will be referred to as a “front protruding handle”. . The portable toilet of the forward protruding handle type has an advantage that it is convenient for the user to move the center of gravity from a forward bent posture while supporting the front end of the forward protruding handle.

  Patent Document 2 discloses a portable toilet in which the length of the handle far from the bedside is set to a length that is substantially equal to the total length of the side edge of the toilet seat. The portable toilet of Patent Document 2 will be referred to as an “arm handle” type, and the long handle will be referred to as an “arm handle”. Among the portable toilets of this armrest handle type, a retractable portable toilet that can jump up the armrest handle has appeared.

  FIG. 12 shows an outline of this conventional example. Referring to FIG. 12, reference symbol H indicates a bedside height level, and the height position of the toilet seat 2 can be adjusted to substantially coincide with the bedside height level H. The conventional flip-up portable toilet has a pair of left and right armrest handles 3 and a pair of left and right short handles 4, and each armrest handle 3 can swing around its base end 3a. The swing center of the armrest handle 3 is indicated by reference numeral 5. The armrest handle 3 can take a standing posture (posture indicated by a virtual line) standing along the backrest 6 and a tilted horizontal posture (state shown by a solid line). In the horizontal posture, the armrest handle 3 is short. It is supported by the short handle 4 while riding on the handle 4.

  In the portable toilet of the above-described conventional example, the short handle 4 that already exists appears by jumping up the armrest handle 3 and taking a standing posture. For this reason, when installing a portable toilet on the bedside, the portable toilet with long and short handles can be formed by flipping up the armrest handle 3 on the side convenient for the user and taking a standing posture (storage posture). Can be transformed.

  In addition, after the user is seated, for example, by tilting the armrest handle 3 in a standing posture, it can be transformed into a portable toilet having armrest handles 3 on both the left and right sides. The user can use the left and right armrest handles 3 as armrests. Can be used.

Japanese Patent Publication No. 5-38619 JP 2008-104833 A

Application examples of bedside portable toilets can be roughly classified into the following types depending on the physical function and physical ability remaining in the person (patient) who uses the bedside portable toilet.
(1) The user is seated on the bedside by the helper's hand, and with the help of the assistant, the user is transferred to the portable toilet in the sitting position (all assistance).

(2) The user can take a posture of sitting on the bedside by himself and then move the user's buttocks laterally by himself / herself to transfer to the portable toilet.
(3) When the user stands or sits, he / she can place his / her hand on the front end of the long handle and stand or sit on his / her own with the long handle as a support. In addition, when this long handle is a front protrusion handle (cited reference 1), there is an advantage that the center of gravity can be moved from a forward bent posture with the front end of the front protrusion handle as a support.

  Referring to FIG. 12, the portable toilet provided with the flip-up type armrest handle 3 is in a state in which the upper end portion of the armrest handle 3 in the retracted state, that is, the armrest handle 3 in the standing posture, largely protrudes upward from the backrest 6. The presence of the armrest handle 3 protruding upward from the backrest 6 is an obstacle to a caregiver who takes care of the user's personal belongings, and is particularly likely to be an obstacle for assistance when taking care of the user from behind the portable toilet. .

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a portable toilet in which the upper end of the stored long handle does not protrude greatly from the backrest while inheriting the advantages of the portable toilet that can store the long handle while standing along the backrest. There is to do.

  It is a further object of the present invention to provide a portable toilet in which a front protruding handle that is longer than the entire length of the side edge of the toilet seat is stood up along the backrest and the upper end of the front protruding handle does not protrude upward from the backrest. It is to provide.

  A further object of the present invention is that when the long handle is stored upright along the backrest while inheriting the advantages of a portable toilet that can store the longhandle upright along the backrest, the long handle becomes a short handle. It is to provide a portable toilet that changes.

According to the present invention, the above technical problem is
The toilet seat is provided with a short handle on both sides of the toilet seat that is shorter than the front and back length of the toilet seat, and a long handle that is approximately equal to or longer than the front and rear length of the toilet seat, and the storage handle stands up along the backrest. Assuming a portable toilet
This is achieved by providing a portable toilet in which the swinging center of the long handle is positioned at a position lower than the height of the short handle and in front of the backrest.

  When the swinging position of the long handle is raised along the backrest by positioning the swinging center of the long handle at a position lower than the height position of the short handle and in front of the backrest, The height position of the upper end of the long handle can be made lower than in the prior art. Here, the long handle is not limited to an “armrest handle” that is substantially equal to the front and back length of the toilet seat, but is a long handle that is longer than the front and rear length of the toilet seat, that is, a “front protruding handle” that protrudes forward from the front end of the toilet seat. Also good.

A portable toilet according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes:
A handle member having a function of a short handle and a function of a long handle located on each side of the toilet seat;
A pivot shaft that pivotally supports the handle member in a swingable manner in an intermediate portion in the front-rear direction of the seat housing structure that constitutes the seat portion of the portable toilet;
The said handle member can take the long handle aspect which the said long handle becomes a horizontal position, and the storage aspect which this long handle stood up along the backrest of the said portable toilet.

  According to this embodiment, the handle member swingably attached to the seat housing structure functions as a short handle when the handle member is swung so that the handle member is positioned in the retracted posture. When it is positioned, it functions as a long handle.

  Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First Example (FIGS. 1 to 5) :
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a portable toilet according to the first embodiment. With reference to FIG. 1, the portable toilet 100 of 1st Example has the form of the chair which has the left-right total four legs 102, the toilet seat 104, and the backrest 106 similarly to the past.

  Explaining the housing structure of the seat portion of the portable toilet 100, the left and right front and rear legs 102a, 102b are an H-shaped integrated structure by a horizontal piece 102c, and bolts ( (Not shown) is inserted into the long hole 108a of the seat side wall board 108, and by tightening a nut member (not shown) to be screwed onto the bolt, the front and rear legs 102a, 102b are attached to the seat side wall board 108. Can be fixed to. And the long hole 108a of the seat part side wall board 108 is extended up and down, The substantial length of leg 102a, 102b is adjusted by this long hole 108a, and the height position of the toilet seat 104 is adjusted to a bedside. The height level H can be substantially matched.

  In the portable toilet 100 of the first embodiment, the above-described housing structure of the seat portion is made of wood. This type of portable toilet is called a “furniture-like toilet”. In the space surrounded by the toilet seat 104, that is, the left and right seat side wall boards 108, a bucket (not shown) for receiving excrement is accommodated as in the conventional case.

  The toilet seat 104 has a rectangular outer shape in plan view, and the width W of the toilet seat 104 is substantially equal to the separation distance between the left and right seat side wall boards 108 and 108.

  FIG. 2 shows a pair of left and right handle members 110 incorporated in the portable toilet 100. The handle member 110 has a long wood piece 112 extending in the front-rear direction, a relatively short front wood piece 114 and a rear second wood piece 116 separated from each other in the front-rear direction. The upper ends of the two short wooden pieces 114 and 116 are fixed in a state orthogonal to the longitudinal center portion of the long wooden piece 112. The lower ends of the first and second short wooden pieces 114 and 116 are preferably connected to each other by a reinforcing wooden piece 118 extending in the front-rear direction. The reinforcing wood piece 118 does not stop functioning as a reinforcing material for the first and second short wood pieces 114, 116, but can be used as a handle that can be used when a user (patient) lying on the bed is in a sideways posture. It also has the function of

  As will be apparent from the following description, the rear short wooden piece 116 functions as a link member, the long wooden piece 112 functions as a “long handle”, and the front short wooden piece 114 functions as a “short handle”. To do. As can be seen best from FIG. 2, a first through hole 120 is formed at the rear end of the long wooden piece 112. A bolt provided with a handle knob (reference numeral 126 in FIG. 1), which will be described later, is inserted into the first through hole 120. A second through hole 122 is formed at the lower end of the second (rear) short wooden piece 116. The second through hole 122 of the rear short wooden piece 116 constitutes the swing center (pivot shaft) 124 of the left and right handle members 110.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the handle member 110 uses a second through hole 122 of the second (rear) short wooden piece 116, and a bolt (not shown) that forms a pivot shaft in the second through hole 122. And the like, for example, are connected to the upper end portion of each corresponding seat portion side wall board 108 and the center portion in the front-rear direction.

  With the above configuration, the handle member 110 can swing around the second through-hole 122. The long handle 112 extends horizontally from the right handle member 110 </ b> A located at the back of the drawing of FIG. 1, and the long handle 112 has a length dimension that protrudes forward from the front end of the toilet seat 104. . On the other hand, the left handle member 110B located in front of FIG. 1 is in a state in which the long wooden piece 112 is erected. As can be readily appreciated by those skilled in the art by looking at FIG. 1, the right handle member 110 </ b> A functions as a “forward protruding handle” by the elongated piece of wood 112. On the other hand, the left handle member 110 </ b> B functions as a “short handle” by the first (front) short wooden piece 114, and in this aspect of the short handle, the long wood 112 takes a retracted position along the backrest 106.

  A bolt having a handle knob 126 is inserted through the first through hole 120 at the rear end of the handle member 110. By operating the handle knob 126, the position of the handle member 110 can be fixed in both the long handle mode and the short handle mode.

  More specifically, the backrest 106 has left and right backrest columns 128 that are located on both sides of the backrest and constitute a skeleton of the backrest, and a through hole with a nut is formed in the center portion of the backrest column 128 in the vertical direction. Yes. A through hole with a nut is formed in the rear end portion of the seat side wall board 108. This through hole with a nut does not appear in the drawing due to the drawing relationship.

  When the long wood piece 112 of the handle member 110 is stood up and put into a retracted state extending vertically along the backrest 106, the first through hole 120 (bolt provided with the handle knob 126) located at the lower end of the long wood piece 112 Is aligned with the through hole with a nut at the rear end of the seat side wall board 108, and by operating the handle knob 126, the lower end of the long wooden piece 112 standing up by screwing of the bolt and nut is moved to the seat side wall. It can be fixed to the board 108. This aspect is the short handle aspect described above, and the first (front side) short wooden piece 114 functions as a “short handle”.

  When the long wood piece 112 of the handle member 110 is brought into a tilted state, the first through-hole 120 (bolt having the handle knob 126) located at the rear end of the long wood piece 112 is passed through the nut with the backrest column 128. By aligning with the hole and operating the handle knob 126, the rear end of the long wooden piece 112 in the horizontal state can be fixed to the center portion in the vertical direction of the backrest column 128 by screwing the bolt and nut. This mode is the “long handle mode” described above, and the long wooden piece 112 functions as a “forward protruding handle”.

  Regarding the position fixing of the handle member 110 using the bolts planted in the handle knob 126 described above, if necessary, the portion of the through hole with a nut of the backrest column 128 is reinforced by using a separately prepared reinforcing member. Also good.

  In the long handle mode, the long wooden piece 112 that extends forward and horizontally from the vertical center portion of the backrest 106 is supported by the front short wooden piece 114 and the rear short wooden piece 116 that hang perpendicularly from the long wooden piece 112. It becomes a state. In particular, the front short wooden piece 114 supports the long wooden piece 112 with its lower end seated on the upper end surface of the seat portion side wall board 108. In this embodiment, since the transfer member 132 described below is mounted on the seat side wall board 108, the lower end of the front short wooden piece 114 is seated on the transfer member 132 and the long wooden piece 112. Support.

  In the portable toilet 100 of the first embodiment, a rectangular transfer member 132 in a plan view is disposed in front of the rear short wooden piece 116 on the horizontal upper end surface of the seat side wall board 108 located on both sides of the toilet seat 104. Has been. The transfer member 132 is located at a side position of the front portion of the toilet seat 104. Specifically, the transfer member 132 has a length dimension extending from a position adjacent to the rear short wooden piece 116 to a position corresponding to the front edge of the toilet seat 104. The transfer member 132 fills a gap between the toilet seat 104 and the bedside, and the transfer member 132 is set so that the height position of the upper surface thereof is substantially the same as the upper surface of the toilet seat 104. ing.

  Since the gap between the toilet seat 104 and the bedside can be filled with the transfer member 132, the user slides the buttock sideways while sitting on the transfer member 132 so that the gap is formed from the bedside to the portable toilet 100. It can be transferred easily without feeling, and similarly, it can be transferred easily from the portable toilet 100 to the bedside.

  Referring to FIG. 3, according to portable toilet 100 of the first embodiment, swing center 124 (FIG. 2) of handle member 110 is forward of backrest 106 and higher than the height of the long handle or the short handle. Since it is positioned at a low position, even if the long wooden piece 112 functioning as a “front protruding handle” is set in a retracted posture along the backrest, the long wooden piece 112 protrudes upward from the upper end of the backrest 106. Can be prevented.

  Further, according to the portable toilet 100 of the first embodiment, since the front short wooden piece 114 is incorporated in the handle member 110 including the long wooden piece 112, when the long wooden piece 112 functions as a forward projecting handle, the front short length The wooden piece 114 not only functions as a support member that supports the long wooden piece 112 but also allows the front short wooden piece 114 to function as a “short handle” when the long wooden piece 112 is in the stowed posture.

  When the long wooden piece 112 is stored and the front short wooden piece 114 functions as a short handle, a reinforcing wooden piece that connects the lower ends of the front short wooden piece 114 and the rear short wooden piece 116 to each other, as can be seen immediately from FIG. 118 stands in a standing position at the front position of the backrest 106. The patient (user) sleeping on the bed can move the body to the bedside or change the posture of the body sideways by grasping the standing reinforcing wooden piece 118. That is, it is possible to perform body movement and posture change by using the reinforcing wooden piece 118 instead of the fence generally employed for the bedside. For this purpose, the reinforcing wood piece 118 included in the embodiment is made of wood having a thickness that is convenient for gripping by hand, and a round wood piece with rounded corners.

  Thus, in order to make the handle member 110 function alternatively as a “front protruding handle” or “short handle”, the length L1 of the rear short wood piece 116 functioning as a link member, the front short wood piece 114, and the rear It is preferable to set so that the separation distance L2 between the side short wooden pieces 116 is substantially equal (FIG. 3). Thereby, the height position when the long wooden piece 112 functions as a “front protruding handle” and the height position when the front short wooden piece 114 functions as a “short handle” can be made substantially equal.

  A modification 210 of the handle member 110 is shown in FIG. The handle member 210 of this modified example has a relatively short long piece of wood 212, and is otherwise the same as the handle member 110 shown in FIG. The long wooden piece 212 included in the handle member 210 of this modification is substantially equal to the front-rear length of the toilet seat 104. By incorporating the modified handle member 210, the portable toilet 100 of FIG. 1 becomes a toilet provided with the above-described armrest handle.

  FIG. 5 shows a basic structure of a portable toilet 200 according to another modification. A portable toilet 200 shown in FIG. 5 includes a long handle (an armrest handle) 202 having a length dimension substantially the same as the longitudinal length of the toilet seat 104 shown in FIG. 1 and a short handle 204 shorter than the longitudinal length of the toilet seat 104. The short handle 204 is fixed.

  A link member 206 extending downward is fixed to the rear end portion of the long handle 202, and a pivot shaft 124 is disposed at the lower end of the link member 206. For this pivot shaft 124, for example, a column member 208 extending upward from the seat side wall board 108 (FIG. 1) is adopted as a part of the seat frame structure of the portable toilet 200, and this column member 208 is used as the seat side wall board 108. Fixed, a pivot shaft 124 is provided at the upper end of the column member 208.

  Since the pivot shaft 124 of the long handle 202 is positioned below the height position of the short handle 204 and ahead of the backrest 106, the long handle 202 is raised and the backrest 106 is raised as shown by the phantom line in FIG. It is possible to prevent the upper end of the long handle 202 from protruding upward from the backrest 106 when the storage posture extending vertically is taken.

Second Example (FIGS. 6 to 11) :
Since the portable toilet 300 according to the second embodiment is substantially the same except for the handle member 110 included in the portable toilet 100 according to the first embodiment, the portable toilet according to the first embodiment is used. The same reference numerals are assigned to the same elements as 100, and the description thereof will be omitted. Hereinafter, characteristic portions of the portable toilet 300 of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The portable toilet 300 of the second embodiment is characterized by a handle member 302. The handle member 302 includes a long wooden piece 304, a first link wooden piece 306 that extends downward and obliquely rearward from a longitudinal intermediate portion of the long wooden piece 304, and a downward and obliquely forward extension from a rear end portion of the long wooden piece 304. Thus, a skeleton is formed with the second link wood piece 308 connected to the lower end portion of the first link wood piece 306, and the triangular space surrounded by these three wood pieces 304, 306, 308 is closed by the blindfold board 310.

  In the handle member 302, the lower end portion of the link wooden piece 306 is connected to the above-described middle portion in the front-rear direction of the seat side wall board 108, which is the above-described frame structure material, and is swingably connected to a slightly lower height level. This pivot axis is illustrated by reference numeral 124. In addition, although not essential, a pin 312 is planted at the joining portion at the lower end of the first and second link wood pieces 306 and 308. On the other hand, an arch groove 314 is formed in the seat side wall board 108, and the pin 312 is guided by the arch groove 314, and the pin 312 is received at one end and the other end of the arch groove 314, so that the first and second pins are received. The swing range of the link wood pieces 306 and 308, that is, the swing range of the handle member 302 is defined.

  As in the first embodiment described above, the handle member 302 has a storage mode in which the long wooden piece 304 stands along the backrest 106 (FIGS. 9 and 10), and a long handle mode in which the long wooden piece 304 is in a horizontal state. Two modes (FIGS. 6 and 7) can be taken. A pivot fixing member 320 for fixing the position of the handle member 302 is disposed on the backrest column 128 that is positioned on each side surface of the backrest 106 and constitutes the skeleton of the backrest 106. As best understood from FIG. 10, when the handle member 302 is in the retracted state, the upper end of the long wooden piece 304 in the standing posture is in an inclined state positioned forward of the lower end. You may set so that the shank piece 304 may stand in the perpendicular | vertical state.

  Referring to FIG. 9, the pivot fixture 320 includes an operation handle 320a and a locking flap 320b that can swing around the shaft portion of the operation handle 320a, and rotates the operation handle 320a in one direction. In this way, the latching flap 320b can be engaged with the long wooden piece 304 to fix the position of the standing long wooden piece 304. The locking flap 320b can be released by rotating the operation handle 320a in the reverse direction. When the long wooden piece 304 stands up and the handle member 302 is in the retracted state (FIGS. 9 and 10), the pivot fixture 320 is engaged with the central portion in the longitudinal direction of the long wooden piece 304 and is long. The wooden piece 304 can be fixed in position, and when the long wooden piece 304 is in a horizontal state and the handle member 302 takes the long handle mode (FIGS. 6 and 7), the rear piece of the long wooden piece 304 and By engaging, the long wooden piece 304 in the horizontal state can be fixed in position.

  As best understood from FIG. 10, when the long wooden piece 304 of the handle member 302 is stood up, the first link member 306 is positioned forward and obliquely downward from the backrest 106, so that the user Can move from the bed to the portable toilet 300 based on the first link member 306 extending obliquely. That is, the inclined first link member 306 exhibits substantially the same function as the functions of the short handle 112 and the reinforcing wooden piece 114 included in the first embodiment.

  7 and 10 is a cushion placed on the toilet seat 104. The cushion 326 can be folded and stored in the backrest 106 (FIGS. 6 and 9). .

  As can be seen best from FIG. 7, the long wooden piece 304 has a length dimension that protrudes forward from the front end of the toilet seat 104 when it is in the long handle mode. Of course, the long wooden piece 304 has a conventional armrest handle. If it is used as a portable toilet, the length of the long wood piece 304 may be shortened, and the length of the long wood piece 304 may be set to be substantially the same as the length of the toilet seat 104 in the front-rear direction. The length dimension of the long wooden piece 304 may be a length dimension in which the front end of the long wooden piece 304 is located slightly behind the front end of the toilet seat 104.

  FIG. 11 shows a portable toilet 400 according to a modification of the second embodiment. The handle member 402 of the portable toilet 400 is substantially the same in other elements except that the first link wood piece 404 included therein is different in shape from the first link wood piece 306 included in the second embodiment described above. It is.

  The first link piece 404 of the handle member 402 of the modified example has an L-shape when viewed from the side. When the handle member 402 is in the retracted state (FIG. 11), the longitudinal direction of the toilet seat 104 from the backrest 106 is shown. It is made to form a short handle that extends horizontally to the middle. The portion functioning as the short handle is illustrated by reference numeral 404a. Further, a handle knob 406 with a bolt for fixing the position of the handle member 402 in the retracted mode is provided on the blindfold board 310. However, the handle knob 406 may be disposed on the second link member 308, for example.

  In the second embodiment and its modifications (FIGS. 6 to 11), the blindfold board 310 may be omitted from the handle members 302 and 402. However, by providing the blindfold board 310, the user of the portable toilet 300 or 400 can be omitted. Can hide the buttocks.

  Referring again to FIGS. 6 and 9, a spacer wood piece 330 having a thickness is disposed between the handle member 302 and the seat side wall board 108, and the handle member 302 pivots through the spacer wood piece 330. The shaft 124 is attached to the seat side wall board 108. More specifically, the spacer wooden piece 330 is fixed to the handle member 302, and the spacer wooden piece 330 swings around the pivot shaft 124 together with the handle member 302. The pin member 312 described above is attached to the spacer wooden piece 330, but may be attached to the handle member 302.
