(Prior Art) Toilets for the physically handicapped are specially installed in public facilities such as nursing homes, nursing homes, hospitals, and stations. Most of conventional toilets for the physically handicapped have handrails on both sides of the toilet bowl, and the handrails are used to support the body and to be used. However, in the case of people with a relatively low degree of disability (freedom of limbs), the above-mentioned toilet with handrail can be used sufficiently, but in the case of severely disabled people, wheelchairs alone can be used. It is quite inconvenient to sit on the toilet bowl or to transfer to the wheelchair after using the toilet. For this reason, for example, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 53-4667, a handrail frame that can be rotated and fixed has been proposed.

(Problems to be solved by the device) However, a part of the body constantly shakes unconsciously,
In the case of a person with a severe physical disability who always needs an attendant, as well as getting on and off a wheelchair, moving by a wheelchair, and maintaining a stable urinal posture only by improving the handrail frame as described above. Is difficult.

It is also possible to fit slide pipes that can be expanded and contracted in the front-rear direction to the front end portions of the left and right guide pipes, and to attach the grip bars that are bulged forward to the front end portions of the left and right slide pipes so as to be openable and closable. It is desirable for hygiene that the outer peripheral surface of the grip bar be fitted with a synthetic resin cover containing an antibacterial agent or wound with a tape for antibacterial treatment.

Further, the belt that is wound around the waist of the user and fastened has high tensile strength and is less likely to get dirty, for example, a plastic belt is suitable, and as a fastening means to the waist, a belt made of cloth that is easily removable Use commonly used fasteners (brand name magic fasteners) and buckles.

(Action) The left and right guide pipes and the left and right slide pipes regulate the seating position on the toilet as a handrail action, and the grip bar serves as a grip when the user sits on the toilet to stabilize the toilet posture. And the back plate and headless stabilize the back and head. In addition, the belt is used arbitrarily according to the degree of disability of the physically handicapped person, and at the time of urination,
A person with severe physical disabilities, such as a swing of the waist of the body, uses a belt to temporarily fix the body on the toilet bowl with a proper tightening to keep the body stable in a correct position with respect to the toilet bowl. The opening and closing of the gripping bar and the fastening of the belt are carried out by an attending assistant in the case of a severely disabled person.
