Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a stool-type portable toilet bowl suitable for use by the aged and sick.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As portable toilets, there are a main body that can be carried and a pot is housed inside, and a seat type that has a toilet seat mounted on the top.

[0003] Since this type of seat-type portable toilet bowl is often used for the aged and sick, it is provided with an elbow (handrail) and a backrest so that it can be used easily. In addition, in consideration of portability, there is also a type in which a pipe frame with an elbow and a backrest integrally formed on four legs is arranged around the toilet body. The pipe frame of this type is usually attached to the toilet body by a method such as screwing or locking.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 By the way, according to the conventional pipe frame, when sitting or standing up, a biased force is applied to one of the left and right elbows, or a large load is applied to the backrest while sitting. When I did, it was dangerous because I could fall. In particular, when the user is an elderly person or a sick person who has a weak leg, there is a risk of this, and for the purpose of eliminating this, the applicant has already proposed that the four legs have a divergent shape with their legs downward. Furthermore, a structure is proposed in which a stabilizing auxiliary plate for preventing falls is attached to the lower ends of the frame legs (Japanese Patent Application No. 4-63423).

However, according to the proposed structure, the stabilizing auxiliary plate may be an obstacle when used indoors. Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a portable toilet with a pipe frame that is free from such problems and is highly safe.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 A configuration for achieving the above object will be described with reference to FIG. 1 corresponding to an embodiment. A portable toilet bowl according to the present invention comprises a weight 4 arranged inside a toilet body 1 and a hanging member 5 for the weight 4. I have it. The hanging member 5 is provided with hook portions 51a and 51b which are hooked from the inner side of the toilet body 1 into holes (for handles) 11a and 11b provided on the left and right of the body peripheral wall 11 of the toilet body 1, respectively. The left and right falling portions 52a and 52b extending downward from each hanging portion by the same length and the supporting portion 53 connected between the lower ends thereof are integrally formed. It is characterized by being configured to hold the weight 4 and support the weight 4 in a space position below the pot 3.

[0007]

[Action]

 The weight 4 suspended in the toilet body 1 increases the overall weight of the toilet body 1 and lowers the center of gravity, which allows the frame 2 to be attached (locked) to the toilet body 1 with an elbow 25a. Even if a biased force acts on the frame 2, there is no risk of the frame 2 falling over easily.

[0008]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First, the overall structure of the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

The toilet bowl is mainly composed of a portable toilet bowl body 1 and a frame 2 arranged around the toilet bowl body 1. The toilet body 1 is of a type in which the pot 3 is housed, and a toilet lid 12 is rotatably supported together with a toilet seat 13 on a rear upper edge of the body peripheral wall 11. The toilet lid 12 has a two-fold folded structure in order to avoid interference with a backrest 26, which will be described later. Further, the toilet body 1 is provided with holes 11a and 11b (see FIG. 1) for grips on the left and right sides of the body wall 11, respectively.

On the other hand, the frame 2 is made by bending a pipe material by welding or the like, and has four legs 21 ... 24 each having two elbows 25a, 25b and a backrest 26 in the front and rear. It is formed integrally.

The four legs 21 ... 24 of the frame 2 have a shape that widens toward the bottom, and the width between the left and right legs 21, 23 and 22, 24 is equal to that of the left and right elbows. It is set to be larger than the width between 25a and 25b. Further, the length from the backrest 26 to the front end portions of the armrests 25a, 25b connected to the backrest 26 is set to be narrower than the width between the lower end portions of the front and rear legs 21, 22 and 23, 24. In addition to the above members, the frame 2 is provided with members 27a and 27b for locking the toilet body 1.

In the embodiment of the present invention, it should be noted that the weight 4 and the hanging member 5 are arranged inside the toilet body 1 as shown in FIG. 1 (a). The hanging member 5 is made by bending or welding a metal wire rod such as a PVC-coated steel wire rod or a SUS wire rod. As shown in Fig. 1 (b), the handle of the toilet body 1 is held. Left and right hooking portions 51a and 51b hooked from the inside to the holes 11a and 11b, and falling portions 52a and 52b extending downward from the hooking portions 51a and 51b by the same length, respectively, and A support portion 53 connected between the lower ends is integrally formed.

Then, the weight 4 is fitted into the convex portion 53a at the center of the support portion 53 of the hanging member 5, and is positioned in the space below the pot 3 arranged in the toilet body 1 in this holding state. Therefore, the weight 4 suspended in this way makes the overall weight of the toilet body 1 heavy and lowers its center of gravity.

As the weight 4, a blow-molded product (hollow container) in which iron powder is packed and then sealed, or a cast steel product coated with PVC is used. Further, a grip 4a is provided on the upper part of the weight 4 in consideration of usability during handling.

[0015]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the portable toilet of the present invention, the weight is hung in the space below the pot in the toilet body by using the handle hole and the hanging member of the toilet body to reduce the total weight of the toilet bowl. Since it is heavy and the center of gravity is low, the stability of the toilet body and the pipe frame that is attached (locked) to it is improved, which causes a biased force to act on the frame with elbows. As a result of eliminating the risk of falling, it is highly safe to use for the elderly and sick with weak legs.

Moreover, according to the present invention, the stability of the frame can be ensured by simply hanging the weight using the hole for the handle of the toilet body without changing the design of the toilet body or the frame. However, it has the advantage that it can achieve the intended purpose at low cost and can be easily applied to existing products.
