Abstract

[Problem] Current toilet paper is thin when used alone, is designed to be folded, and has no bumps, so it can unintentionally shift out of position as it moves to the buttocks. People who cannot fully utilize their physical functions cannot use it properly, and excrement can get on their fingers. Furthermore, excrement that gets on their fingers is one of the factors that contribute to the spread of infectious diseases. [Solution] The toilet paper is made into a circular fan shape to fit the shape of outstretched fingers, and has fin-like folds on the back to prevent it from shifting out of position, so that it can be used by holding it between two fingers.

Description

The present invention is an annular fan-shaped toilet paper with fin-like creases on the back surface that prevents excrement from getting on fingers and does not need to be folded.

Current toilet paper is thin in one sheet and is meant to be used folded. For this reason, children who are unskilled at handling excrement, elderly people whose physical functions have declined, and people with disabilities or illnesses that prevent them from fully utilizing their bodily functions cannot fold the current toilet paper properly, so they cannot use it to wipe off excrement. The folded toilet paper does not hold the proper shape, and there is a high possibility of getting excrement on your hands when wiping.

When people using toilet paper get excrement on their hands, it increases the burden of secondary excrement disposal on people who are supervising children and caring for the elderly. Touching indoor fixtures with fingers that have objects on them can spread infectious diseases caused by excrement, contributing to the increased risk of contracting infectious diseases.

While placing the toilet paper in your palm and moving it to your buttocks, you must move your palm from horizontal to nearly vertical, and due to the friction with the air and gravity that occurs when the toilet paper is moved, When the user wipes off excrement with toilet paper that has shifted from its original position and is now in a position not expected by the user, excrement may adhere to the fingers and palms of the user's hands.

The inability to properly dispose of excreta damages the person's self-esteem, and has a negative impact on character development and self-esteem maintenance. In addition, the act of defecating in the toilet is a highly private matter, and there is a fear of having one's self-esteem damaged if others find out that one is not able to dispose of excrement properly. It is difficult for toilet users to tell their supervisors or caregivers whether the toilet is being used properly. Considering the fact that it is difficult to tell others about how to dispose of excreta and the physical function limitations of users, it is better to change the structure of the toilet paper itself so that it can dispose of excrement better than improving the way the user disposes of excrement. It will be easier to solve the problem if you do so.

In order to prevent excrement from sticking to your fingertips, you can use it without folding it, making it difficult for your fingertips to come out of the toilet paper when wiping off excrement, and by sandwiching the fin-shaped crease between your index and middle fingers. There is a need for a new type of toilet paper that prevents the toilet paper from shifting.

Current toilet paper is thin as a single sheet and is intended to be used by folding it, but some people find it difficult to fold it, and it does not form into the proper shape, resulting in them getting excrement on their hands when wiping it off.

Current toilet paper is not uneven, so when it is placed in the palm of the hand and moved to the buttocks, it slips to an unintended position, causing excrement to get on the fingers and palms when wiping off excrement.

The shape of the toilet paper is shaped like an annular fan to match the shape of the spread fingers, and by forming it to a thickness that does not require folding, the toilet paper prevents the fingers from protruding from the toilet paper, making it difficult for excrement to stick to the fingers. do.

In order to prevent the toilet paper placed in the palm of your hand from shifting unintentionally before it moves to your buttocks, we have created a mountain-folded fin-like crease on the back of the annular fan-shaped toilet paper. To enable a person to pinch the toilet paper between his or her index finger and middle finger, and to prevent the toilet paper from slipping on the palm while moving to the buttocks.

Reduces the possibility of excrement getting on the user's fingers.
Reduces the risk of infectious diseases derived from excrement.
Preventing negative effects on personality development and damage to self-esteem caused by not being able to dispose of excrement by oneself.
Reducing the burden of secondary waste disposal on users' supervisors and caregivers.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the annular fan-shaped toilet paper of the present invention. They are a top view, a back view, and a side view of an annular fan-shaped toilet paper.

Place the annular fan-shaped toilet paper with the back side facing upwards, pinch the fin-shaped crease between the user's index and middle fingers, and twist the wrist to turn the palm toward the top. Make sure that the toilet paper is spread out in a fan shape, then move it to your buttocks while holding the fold of the toilet paper between two fingers and wipe off the excrement. After wiping the first time, fold it so that the surface with the excrement on it goes inside, and wipe the second time on the back side.

For use in homes where children who are not yet able to dispose of excrement, elderly people with weakened physical functions, and people with disabilities or illnesses who are unable to fully utilize their physical functions reside.
For use in social welfare corporations and nursing care facilities.
Since excretion is an act that occurs almost every day, continuous use is expected.

By setting the intersection angle of the left straight line and the right straight line of the annular fan-shaped toilet paper to 45 degrees, a manufacturing method that divides the circular circle into eight parts can be used. By manufacturing circular toilet paper in a spiral shape and stacking them on top of each other, a cylindrical circular toilet paper is created. If you divide it into 8 pieces at once, you will have a basic circular fan-shaped toilet paper. By pressing the center line of the basic annular fan-shaped toilet paper from above and below with a valley-shaped press, fin-like creases are created on the back side. The number of manufacturing steps is small, and by manufacturing a large amount of annular fan-shaped toilet paper at once, it is possible to reduce costs, and by making it affordable for users, it is expected that it will continue to be used.

Claims (1)

It is fan-shaped to fit the shape of the fingers when it is open, and is about the thickness of 6 to 8 sheets of single toilet paper, so there is no need to fold it, and it is suitable for children who are immature in the process of excretion and those with weakened physical functions. An annular fan with a mountain-folded fin-like crease on the center line of the fan-shaped backside that can be held between the index and middle fingers for ease of use by the elderly and people with disabilities or diseases that prevent them from fully utilizing their physical functions. shaped toilet paper.
