Description

[0001]
[Industrial application fields]
The present invention particularly relates to a toilet that can be easily seated and erected even by a person having no physical strength such as a sick person or an elderly person.
[0002]
[Prior art]
For example, a user who does not have physical strength, such as a sick person or an elderly person, needs to support his / her weight by hand when moving from a bed or the like to a toilet or sitting and standing on a toilet seat. Therefore, a handrail is provided on the wall of the toilet, an auxiliary toilet seat (50) provided with an overhanging portion (51) for supporting the body by a hand as shown in FIG. 9, or a toilet main body (as shown in FIG. 11). There is provided a portable toilet (60) provided with gripping portions (61) on both upper sides of 2).
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in a configuration in which the auxiliary toilet seat (50) provided with the overhanging portion (51) on both sides is detachably installed on the upper surface of the toilet bowl (52), the user supports the weight by placing a hand on the overhanging portion (51). At this time, as shown in FIG. 10, the user puts his / her hand on the overhanging portion (51) on the outer side of both thighs. There was a problem.
[0004]
Further, in order to support the weight by the gripping portions (61) provided on both upper sides of the toilet body (62), the weight must be supported with the arm bent as shown in FIG. 12, and it is difficult to put force on the arm. . In addition, when a user with no physical strength, such as a sick person or an elderly person, moves from a bed or the like to a toilet bowl, or moves from a toilet bowl to a bed or the like, the gripping part (61) becomes an obstacle and further inconvenient to carry. There was a point.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a means for solving the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention forms columnar portions (8) by projecting both sides of the body peripheral wall portion (7) of the toilet body (2) forward, and the columnar portions (8). The toilet (1) is provided with a hand support (12) at the upper end .
The upper surface of the hand support part (12) is preferably round, and a foot space (10) is preferably provided in the lower front part of the toilet body (2).
[0006]
[Action]
When the user sits or stands up, the user supports the body by grasping the hand support portion (12) with his hand or attaching his hand. Since the hand support part (12) is located on both sides of the front end of the upper surface of the toilet body (2), the user naturally leans forward when holding or attaching the hand, and it is easy to put pressure on the hand. You can sit comfortably and get up.
[0007]
Further, the hand support part (12) projects forward on both sides of the body peripheral wall part (7) of the toilet body (2 ) to form a columnar part (8), and is formed at the upper end of the columnar part (8). Therefore, the hand support part (12) can be securely gripped or attached with a hand, so that the hand does not come off and is safe. Therefore, even a sick person or a user who does not have physical strength can easily stand up from an oblique front. Further, even when the body is shifted from the bed or the like to the toilet bowl, the hand support unit does not interfere and does not interfere with carrying.
[0008]
When the upper surface of the hand support part (12) is round, it is easy to hold or attach a hand. In addition, when the foot space (10) is provided below the front surface of the toilet body (2), the user can easily stand up by leaning forward by putting his foot into the foot space (10).
[0009]
【Example】
The present invention will be described with reference to one embodiment. A toilet (1) shown in FIG. 1 is made of a hard synthetic resin material such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, etc., and a toilet body (2) and the toilet body ( The toilet seat (4) and the toilet lid (3) are placed on the upper surface (5) of 2).
[0010]
The toilet body (2) includes an oval upper surface portion (5) having an opening (6) in the center, and a trunk peripheral wall portion (7) suspended from the periphery of the upper surface portion (5). As shown in FIG. 2, the front surface (9) of the body peripheral wall (7) is bent outwardly, and both side portions are projected forward to form columnar portions (8). As shown in FIG. 3, a hand support portion (12) is formed at the upper end of the columnar portion (8). As shown in FIG. 4, the hand support portion (12) is raised in a rounded shape toward the front end to form a raised portion E, and is gently inclined toward the hem portion so as to easily fit the hand. An inclined portion D is formed.
[0011]
The lower portion of the front surface (9) is cut away to form a foot-drawing space (10), and a recess (14) is formed at the center of the front end of the upper surface portion (5) of the toilet body (2). A rectangular parallelepiped handle recess (15) is provided at the upper end of both side surfaces of the trunk peripheral wall (7), and a bulge (13) is formed at the lower edge to support the weight of the toilet. .
[0012]
A toilet lid (3) is hinged to the rear end of the toilet body (12) via a hinge portion (11).
[0013]
In the toilet bowl (1) of the present embodiment, the front surface (9) of the torso peripheral wall portion (7) is bent outwardly and both sides are recessed backward, so that when the user is seated, both feet and the front surface ( 9) can sit in a comfortable position without interference. In addition, since a concave portion (14) is formed in the center of the front end of the upper surface portion (5) of the toilet body (2), the concave portion (14) is formed when the toilet lid (3) or the toilet seat (4) is opened upward. It becomes a clue.
[0014]
When the user stands up, he puts his lower leg into the tow space (10) and stands up by holding the hand support part (12) with his hand or attaching his hand. Since the upper surface of the hand support portion (12) is round, it is easy for the user to grip with the hand, and since the gentle inclined portion D is formed toward the hem portion, the palm portion of the user as shown in FIG. Is just fit to the inclined part D and is easy to attach and grip. In this embodiment, to hold the hand support portion (12) with a hand or to attach a hand, apply the palm to the inclined portion D of the hand support portion (12) and hold the raised portion E with a finger or hold the finger. In addition to the case of attaching, it includes adding a palm to the raised part E of the hand support part (12) and gripping the upper part of the columnar part (8) with a finger or attaching a finger.
[0015]
Further, since the hand support portion (12) projects over both front corners of the toilet body (2), when the user is sitting, the hand support portion (12) is located more than the knee on the side of the thigh. However, if the hand support part (12) is grasped with a hand or a hand is attached, a moderately forward tilted posture can be obtained. Then, as shown in FIG. 6, if the hand support part (12) is tilted further forward as a fulcrum, the user can lift the waist without difficulty, and the weight becomes a force F that pushes the toilet body (2) downward. The toilet body (2) is also stable without moving and there is no danger of falling.
[0016]
The hand support unit (12) is useful for correcting the position of the body after sitting, and for maintaining the posture during urination and defecation.
[0017]
Further, since the hand support portion (12) protrudes from the upper end of the columnar portion (8), it will not be deformed even if the weight is deposited. Therefore, there is no risk of falling, and the user can sit and stand up with peace of mind.
[0018]
The hand support portion (12) may be further provided with non-slip warp-like projections or mesh-like grooves as shown in FIG. 7, or cushioning properties as shown in FIG. 8 to further relieve pain. The fiber sheet etc. which consist of material may be stuck.
[0019]
The present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and is applicable not only to portable toilets but also to normal toilets.
[0020]
【The invention's effect】
In the toilet of the present invention, for example, a sick person or an elderly person can sit and stand safely and easily.
