[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 Those who need care in their daily lives may also need assistance from the caregiver during excretion. When such a cared user uses the conventional toilet (10) shown in FIG. 6, there are the following problems. 1. When a user uses the toilet (10), it is necessary to move from a standing position to a sitting position in which the thighs are substantially horizontal. Heavy physical burden. In some cases, an accident such as a fall of the user may be caused. 2. Cared users may not be able to wipe the buttocks, especially the anus, after excretion, and may be asked to be wiped by the caregiver. In this case, the user lifts the buttocks and has the user wipe the buttocks. However, since the user keeps taking an unstable forward bending posture, the user is forced to take an unreasonable posture. In addition, caregivers need to wipe their buttocks while maintaining the user's forward leaning posture, which is very troublesome. This may require more than one caregiver. In addition, for those who have difficulty excreting on their own, it is necessary to perform enema and intestinal irrigation, but this also imposes a burden on both the user and the caregiver. 3. During excretion, the user must support the upper body with a weak waist, which is a burden on the body. This is known to contribute to exacerbation of intracerebral hemorrhage and heart disease. The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[Embodiment of the invention]

 (Overall Configuration) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view of a toilet unit (1) according to the present embodiment, FIG. 2 is a side view of the same, and FIG. 3 is a rear view of the same. FIG. 2 shows the user by a dashed line, and the present application is characterized in that the caregiver can clean the buttocks from behind the user while the user is sitting. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, two support columns (20) and (20) are erected from the base (6) placed on the floor surface (65) so as to be separated from each other. At the upper end of (20), a support piece (2) is pivotally supported (21). The distance between the support columns 20 is substantially equal to the distance between the user's thighs when sitting. The support piece (2) is provided rotatably between a first position in which the front end is inclined downward and a second position in which the front end is substantially horizontal (see FIG. 5). In this state, the thigh (8) is supported, and the buttocks (80) are open. In the first position or the second position, the support piece (2) is fixed at each position by providing a locking mechanism such as screwing of the bolt to the pivot portion (21), so that the user can sit down. Does not rotate.

At the upper end of the support column (20), a guide rod (22) extending forward and backward is provided, and the guide rod (22) is provided with a toilet tray (3) for receiving excrement from a user. Fits slidably. The toilet tray (3) and the support piece (2) constitute a toilet (10) for the care receiver. When the toilet tray (3) is fully advanced, it contacts a stopper (not shown) provided on the support column (20) to restrict excessive advance, and is disposed below the user's buttocks (80). You. When the user sits on the support piece (2) in the first position, the space S between the buttocks (80) and the toilet tray (3) where the buttocks (80) cleaning tool can enter is provided. Is formed, and the present application is characterized in this respect. The tool for cleaning the buttocks (80) is, for example, a tissue, an enema device, or a simple pump. After inserting the tools into the space S from the back of the user, the buttocks (80) are cleaned, and the tissue after cleaning is used. Etc. are discarded in the tray (3). The toilet tray (3) has an open upper surface, is pulled out from the back of the support piece (2), is detached from the guide rod (22), and is inserted and fitted on the guide rod (22). FIG. 4 is a side view of the toilet tray (3). The toilet tray (3) may be provided with a handle (30) at the rear end, and water or a deodorant (31) may be previously placed in the toilet tray (3). Also, the toilet tray (3) may be removed from the guide rod (22) and once placed on the floor when discarding the excrement inside, the toilet tray (3) should not be tilted at this time. Alternatively, the leg pieces (32), (32) may be projected downward from the toilet tray (3).

As shown in FIG. 2, when the user sits on the support piece (2) in the first position, the support piece (2) has a large forward end because the front end of the support piece (2) is inclined downward. The user who has received the thigh is in a forward leaning posture. At the front end of the base (6), two grip posts (60) and (60) are erected, and a grip (7) is provided on the grip posts (60) and (60). The grip (7) is made of a soft material such as urethane for ease of grasping, and the lower end of the first lever (40) is pivotally supported (41) at the left and right central portions of the grip (7). . An auxiliary pad (4) for receiving a jaw of a user leaning forward is attached to the distal end of the first lever (40).

As shown in FIG. 3, a connecting rod (61) is hung between both grip posts (60), (60), and the lower end of the second lever (50) is attached to the connecting rod (61). Has been pivoted (51). A support pad (5) provided with a belt (52) is attached to the tip of the second lever (50) to receive the chest or abdomen of the user in the forwardly inclined posture. When the toilet (10) is not used, the second lever (50) rotates in a plane perpendicular to the upper surface of the base (6) and including the front-rear direction, and is indicated by a dashed line in FIG. As such, it is located outside the grip support (60). Similarly, the first lever (40) is located outside the grip support (60). Therefore, the first and second levers (40) and (50) do not hinder the user from sitting on the support piece (2) in order to use the toilet (10). The levers (40) and (50) may rotate in a plane substantially parallel to the upper surface of the base (6) as shown by an arrow E in FIG.

(When Using the Toilet) As shown in FIG. 2, when using the toilet (10), the supporting piece (2) is fixed to the first position in advance. The user stands in front of the toilet (10), and sits down with his buttocks facing the toilet (10). As described above, since the first and second levers (40) and (50) are located outside the grip support (60), they do not obstruct the user. Since the front end of the support piece (2) is inclined downward, the user who has received the thigh by the support piece (2) is in a forwardly inclined posture. In this position, the second lever (50) is rotated clockwise to bring the support pad (5) into contact with the user's chest or abdomen. Wrap the belt (52) around the chest or abdomen to keep the user's body in place. Similarly, the first lever (40) is rotated clockwise to bring the auxiliary pad (4) into contact with the user's chin. The user supports the jaw with the auxiliary pad (4) and the chest or abdomen with the support pad (5), grasps the grip (7) with both hands, and excretes toward the toilet tray (3).

[0011] At the time of excretion, the user only has to bend from the standing posture to the forward leaning posture, so that the movement stroke of the user is reduced, and the physical burden on the user can be reduced. Also, the burden on the caregiver supporting the user is reduced until the user sits on the support piece (2). Further, the user holds the grip (7) in a state where the thigh is received by the support piece (2) and is supported by the auxiliary pad (4) and the support pad (5), so that the posture is stabilized. Since the weight is distributed to the auxiliary pad (4), the support pad (5), the grip (7) and the support piece (2), the burden on the user's body is small even if the excretion is performed for a long time. Become. Furthermore, if moderate pressure is applied to the user's abdomen by the support pad (5), excretion is facilitated.

After the user excretes, the caregiver inserts a cleaning tool from behind through the space S between the buttocks (80) and the toilet tray (3) to clean the buttocks. Since the user is in the forward leaning posture, the buttocks are exposed from the space S, and the caregiver can easily perform the cleaning work, and the caregiver is sufficient. Also, when the user wears the diaper after cleaning, the diaper is easy to wear because the buttocks are open. Some users wear nursing pants instead of diapers after excretion. In this case, as shown in FIG. 5, when the lock is released and the support piece (2) is rotated to the second position, which is a substantially horizontal state, the user can support the support piece (2) at the second position. The foot can be raised while the thigh is placed on 2). Therefore, the nursing pants and the like can be detached in this state. After wearing the diaper or nursing pants, release the belt (52) and rotate the first and second levers (40) and (50) to the outside of the gripping post (60). Go out of (6). The caregiver pulls the toilet tray (3) backward and discards the excrement in the toilet tray (3). If the support piece (2) and the toilet tray (3) are set at a high position, the caregiver does not need to bend when attaching and detaching the toilet tray (3) to and from the guide rod (22). It will be easier.

As shown in FIG. 5, curtain supports (62) and (62) are erected at the end of the base (6), and a curtain (not shown) is provided between the curtain supports (62) and (62). If it is provided, the state at the time of excretion is hidden, and the shame of the user can be alleviated. Further, a tank (63) for holding buttocks-cleaning water or detergent may be provided on the curtain support (62) on the back side of the user. Further, a backrest (not shown) may be provided on the curtain support (62). Further, the support column (20), the first lever (40), and the second lever (50) may have a structure in which the length can be adjusted. There are various well-known structures such as a small-diameter pipe inserted into a large-diameter pipe and a small-diameter pipe capable of being pulled out, and the detailed description is omitted. Further, the support pad (5) and the auxiliary pad (4) may be rotatably attached to the second lever (50) and the first lever (40), respectively.
