Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a public toilet, a facility toilet, and a toilet for a physically handicapped person, or for both a physically handicapped person and a general purpose tray.

[Prior Art] Conventional toilets have almost no design concept that serves both as a toilet for people with physical disabilities and a toilet for general use. In addition, there are many types of toilets for the physically handicapped that transfer to the toilet seat directly from the wheelchair, and there are right handed and left handed toilets depending on the combination of the toilet bowl and the handrail. Some of them have movable handrails on both sides of the toilet bowl. Some of them were devised so that both types could be used, but most were specialized for each type.

In addition, toilets for people with physical disabilities, for people with weak arm strength and grip strength, when transferring to the toilet seat, especially when the inside of the toilet is narrow,
Since the range where you can put your hand on it is narrow, it is not easy to transfer it with your hand to a fixed handrail or toilet, and if you use it by moving forward or backward, There is no width for wheelchairs to rotate,
It was very difficult to transfer to the toilet seat because the handrails were an obstacle.

In addition, it is not suitable for flat-type users who lie on their side or lie on their stomachs, and when using it with assistance, the toilet space is narrow and the handrails become entangled. I had to do it.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As described in the related art, in order to provide a satisfactory toilet for the physically handicapped, a large amount of space is required,
I had a problem that I couldn't do enough to assist.

Further, the conventional toilet for the physically handicapped has a problem that only a small number of physically handicapped persons can use it because it is a type that directly transfers from a wheelchair to a toilet seat.

Moreover, I had the problem that I couldn't tell if I was left-handed or right-handed unless I opened the toilet door.

This invention eliminates such inconvenience and has the following objects.

I. It should be placed effectively in a limited space, and it should be easy for the wheelchair to rotate, move forward and backward, and to assist the caregiver in a comfortable posture.

B. It can be used by people with various types of disabilities, such as those with weak arm strength and grip strength, those who use it forward or backward, those who use it laterally or pronely, and who use canes.

C. It can be used for both disabled and general toilets, and can be used by pregnant women and parents.

[Means for Solving the Problem] In order to achieve the above object, the toilet of the present invention is
In a toilet with at least adjacent wall surfaces having substantially right-angled corners, a toilet arranged inward from the corners, and when not in use, it can be stored along the wall, and when in use, on the upper left and right sides of the toilet. The handrails are attached to the adjacent wall surfaces of the corners via the hinged portions so that they can be arranged.

Further, preferably, a base plate having a height substantially equal to that of the toilet bowl is provided at least on the left and right sides of the toilet bowl arranged inward from the corner.

Furthermore, the inside of the chamber is formed in a rectangular shape, and the washbasin is arranged at the corner opposite to the corner where the toilet bowl is arranged.

[Operation] According to the configuration of the present invention, a toilet bowl arranged inward from the corner and a hinged portion on the adjacent wall surface of this corner are placed in the toilet having adjacent corners having corners of substantially right angles. With the handrail attached, the operation of storing the handrail along the wall surface and arranging it on the left and right of the upper part of the toilet has a rotation angle of about 45 ° with the hinge part as the fulcrum.
Within the degree. Moreover, since only one handrail can be attached to each of the two adjacent wall surfaces of the corner, even a large handrail can be stored in the toilet.

Furthermore, by providing a base plate of approximately the same height on at least the left and right sides of the toilet bowl, those who use the toilet by moving the wheelchair forward or backward can use it with their legs extended, and it can be used sideways. Even a cheek-type user who can lie on his or her stomach can use it comfortably in either right or left direction.

[Embodiment] Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings showing an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory plan view showing an ideal configuration of the toilet of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a perspective explanatory view of FIG.

In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the toilet bowl 6 is directed inward on the corner 4 in the toilet 5 having a substantially square planar shape (see the alternate long and short dash line extending from the corner 4 to 10 in FIG. 1). Are arranged. To the upper left and right of the toilet bowl 6, handrails 7,
One end of 7 is a butterfly portion 8 or 8 from the wall surface 3 or 3 (see FIG. 2).

A substantially triangular base plate 9 incorporating a toilet seat 6'is fixed to the left and right and the rear part of the toilet bowl 6. The toilet seat 6'can be opened and closed up and down like a toilet seat on an ordinary toilet bowl, but the upper surface of the toilet seat 6'and the base plate 9 are combined so as to be flat so that the physically handicapped person can use the toilet seat 6'or It is considered that it can be used safely on the base plate 9 when it is used with the legs stretched out, or when the user is lying sideways or prone. The height of the upper surface of the base plate 9 is about the same as the height of the seat surface of the wheelchair, and the support tools from the walls 3 on both sides of the corner where the toilet 6 is installed and the floor of the toilet 5 are supported. It is fixed on the toilet bowl 6 by.

At the front of the toilet bowl 6 and the base plate 9, a rotation width of at least 1.5 m or more is secured so that the wheelchair can change direction, and the wheelchair can easily approach the toilet bowl 6 and the base plate 9, and In order to prevent the feet from hitting each other, the toilet bowl 6 and the base plate 9 are provided with a dent having a depth of 20 cm and a height of 30 cm.

A washbasin 11 is provided at the corner 10 on the side opposite to the corner 4 on which the toilet 6 is installed, but when using the wheelchair, the knee of the wheelchair user is located below the washbasin 11. The basin 11 is floated from the floor of the toilet 5 and attached to the wall 3 so as not to hit the wall. The washbasin 11 has a triangular plan shape, and flat portions are provided on the left and right sides so as to also serve as a loading platform.

The doorway 12 of the toilet 5 is a slide type and is provided on either the left or right side of the wall where the washbasin 11 is installed.
The effective width of 12 is 1m.

Further, the toilet paper is attached to the wall at the corner where the handrail is provided (the lower side of the handrail) on the right side, the left side, or both the left and right sides.

In use in the embodiment of the present invention, the space in front of the toilet bowl and in front of the front of the toilet can be widened so that the wheelchair can be easily moved forward, backward or rotated. In addition, even when a caregiver accompanies, assistance operations such as supporting and holding can be performed easily, and the usability is very good.

Moreover, since the handrail is provided via the hinged part, the physically handicapped person who needs the handrail, the cane user and the elderly can use it by arranging it on both sides of the toilet, and the healthy person who does not need the handrail, Since the handrail can be placed along the wall surface, it can be used both as a toilet for the disabled and a general-purpose toilet without becoming a jerk.

Furthermore, since a base plate incorporating a toilet seat is placed on the toilet bowl, even a person with weak arm strength or grip strength who could not directly transfer from the wheelchair can first transfer to the base plate and then move laterally to ride on the toilet seat. it can. In addition, cheek-type users who lie on their backs can lie on the base plate or lie on their backs, and can use their proficiency with either right or left peeling. To be easier. Also, on the toilet seat, since there is a space for the base plate to be held by the left and right hands, it is possible to easily remove and attach clothes.
