Description

  The present invention relates to a defecation aid for children that facilitates the defecation of small children (particularly infants).

  Generally, a Western-style toilet is designed on the assumption that an adult with an average body type will use it, and is sized to be easily used by an adult with an average body shape. Therefore, when a small child defecates with such a Western-style toilet, his / her feet are shorter and smaller than an adult, and thus his / her feet float from the floor. That is, a stable defecation posture cannot be taken, and defecation is performed in an unstable defecation posture.

  In addition, it is already known that a footrest is disposed adjacent to a Western-style toilet as an auxiliary tool for assisting in the formation of a bowel posture (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Japanese Patent No. 3538423 (paragraph 0022, FIG. 12)

  Since the footrest described in Patent Document 1 is arranged at a position away from the Western-style toilet, even if it can assist in the formation of the defecation posture of an adult with an average figure, the figure is small and the legs are short It cannot assist in the formation of a child's defecation posture.

  The present invention provides a defecation aid for children that can assist in the formation of a defecation posture of a small child (particularly an infant).

  The invention of claim 1 is a defecation aid for children provided adjacent to a Western-style toilet and assisting the defecation of a child, and is provided on the front of the toilet body of the Western-style toilet so as to be detachable and extend left and right. It is characterized by comprising a fixing member having a fixed column part and a footrest member that is attached between the left and right fixed column parts and that can be adjusted in the vertical direction and partly or entirely removable.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the child can place his / her foot on the footrest member during defecation, the child can defecate in a stable defecation posture. Since the fixing member is removable, it can be removed together with the footrest member when the child does not use it, so that it does not adversely affect adult use. In addition, since the footrest member is detachably attached to each of the fixing members, the footrest member can be prevented from adversely affecting adult use while leaving the fixing member. .

  Furthermore, since the position of the footrest member can be adjusted in the vertical direction, the position can be adjusted in accordance with the growth of the child, so that the stool can be defecate in a stable defecation posture at any time regardless of the degree of child growth.

  In this case, as described in claim 2, the left and right fixed column portions are respectively provided with engaged portions corresponding to each other at a constant interval, and the footrest member is elastic. A footrest portion formed of a deformable wire, and having a U-shaped main body portion, and an engagement portion that is provided at each end portion of the main body portion and removably engages with the engaged portion. In the engaged state, the engaged portion and the engaging portion are in a usable state in which the main body portion projects forward, and the main body portion is the left and right fixed column portions. It can be set as the structure which can take selectively the accommodation state along.

  In addition, as described in claim 3, the left and right fixed column portions are configured such that upper end portions are coupled by a sandwiched portion sandwiched between a toilet body and a toilet seat of the Western-style toilet. be able to.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the left and right fixed column portions may be connected by a reinforcing portion extending in the left-right direction at a portion where the engaged portion is provided.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, the engaged portion is a locking hole, and the engaging portion is a locking claw portion that is detachably locked in the locking hole. be able to.

  According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, the left and right fixed column portions may be configured to have support legs that are screwed into a lower end and change a vertical length of the fixed column portion by changing a screwing amount. Is possible.

  According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, the footrest member is formed of a linear member having a rectangular cross section that is elastically deformable, and is provided at a U-shaped main body portion and each end portion of the main body portion. A footrest portion having an engaging portion that removably engages with the engaged portion, and an engaging hole that is removably engaged with the engaged hole. It is desirable that the movable portion is capable of being locked at a predetermined position of the fixed column portion so as not to move.

  According to an eighth aspect of the present invention, the left and right fixed column portions are formed with engagement recesses corresponding to each other at a constant interval, and the movable portion is provided corresponding to the engagement recess. A screw hole that is screwed into the screw hole and a lock screw that locks the movable portion by engaging a tip portion with the engaging recess.

  According to a ninth aspect of the present invention, a plurality of engagement grooves are formed at regular intervals in the vertical direction in the left and right fixed column portions, and the movable portion is movable outside the fixed column portions. It can be set as the structure which has the engagement nail | claw which is inserted and engaged with the engagement groove | channel of the said fixed pillar part so that engagement / disengagement is possible.

  As described in claim 10, the left and right fixed column portions are columnar or cylindrical members, and the movable portion is movably inserted outside the fixed column portion; A rotating lever portion that is rotatably supported by the main body portion and has a pressing protrusion, and the rotation of the rotating lever causes the pressing protrusion to press a part of the main body portion against the outer surface of the fixed column portion. Select between a locked state in which the main body portion is immovable and a movable state in which the pressing protrusion is released from a part of the main body portion and the main body portion can move outside the fixed column portion. It can be set as the structure made into the structure which can be taken automatically.

  According to the present invention, since a child can place his / her feet on the main body during defecation, defecation can be performed in a stable defecation posture. Since the fixing member can be removed and the footrest member can be partly or entirely removed, the footrest member can be removed when the child does not use it, so that it does not adversely affect adult use. In addition, since the position of the footrest member can be adjusted in the vertical direction, the position of the footrest member can be adjusted according to the growth of the child, and it is possible to defecate in a stable defecation posture at any time regardless of the degree of child growth. .
