Its design is that it is easily accessible to the user.

The urinal aid according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention having such a feature will be described in detail.

As shown in Figures 1 and 4, the urinal assisting device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is fixed to the toilet wall 11 in which a conventional male urinal 10 is installed, the user of the disabled or elderly person upright When standing and performing urination, support means to support the upper body of the user to use both hands while supporting the body by the armpit portion of both arms; weight is forwarded; there is a point that is configured to include.

In more detail, the urinal 10 described above is typically installed separately from a toilet in a public toilet or a bathroom of a building to allow a man to urinate, and is composed of an open rectangular pottery wall of a toilet. It is fixed perpendicularly to (11), or it is fixed by wall mounting.

The seating means for characterizing the present invention, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, as an embodiment, both ends of the toilet wall (11) on both sides of the urinal (10) around the urinal 10, respectively It is provided with a rod-shaped support 12 that takes a circular or upper flat shape to which it is fixed. In detail, the support 12 is made of any one of wood, metal, or synthetic resin material, and both ends thereof are fixed in the longitudinal direction to the toilet wall 11 on the left and right sides of the urinal 10, and the toilet from each end. A bent portion 13 is formed to extend vertically with the wall 11 to be gradually narrowed toward the urinal 10 so as to face the upper body when the user stands up. That is, the bent portion 13 is a portion in which the central portion of each support 12 is bent, extending vertically from the upper end of each support 12 to the toilet wall 11, and the user's chest is seated. It is bent inwardly so that the user's lower body can be bent again to the outside and at the same time bent downward to have a shape extending to the lower end of each support (12).

Of course it can be used.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, when a person with disabilities, an assistive device user, such as a crutch, or an elderly person urinate using the urinal 10, in particular, a wheelchair user may be uncomfortable with the leg or lower back so as to handle the handle. The disabled person who can only stand up, once, in a sitting position in close proximity to the urinal 10 in a wheelchair, bent to one side of the support 12, that is, a portion extending downward to the lower end of each support 12 Grab and get up and balance your body. Then, the upper body part of the user is seated on the bent portion 13. At this time, the upper body part of the user is supported by the bent portion 13, so that the weight can be leaned forward to take a stable upright position. In addition, the user wraps the bent portion 13 that is bent outwardly and supports the weight with the armpit. Then, the user can smoothly perform the operation of lowering and raising the zipper and other urination using both hands while maintaining the balance of the body.

On the other hand, the mounting means according to another embodiment of the present invention is fixed to the upper toilet wall 11 of the urinal 10, as shown in Figure 4 and 5, the support frame extending inclined toward the upper body of the user ( 21) and an "X" shaped support 24 which is fixed to the support frame 21 and supports the armpit and the chest of the user.

In more detail, the above-described support frame 21 is for fixing the support 24, which will be described later, and for supporting the support 24, made of a conventional aluminum material, It takes a belt shape in which a portion is bent at an angle to the front upper side. In addition, at least one screw hole 22 is formed at one side of the support frame 21 and is fixed to the upper toilet wall 11 of the urinal 10 by using the fastening screw 23. In addition, at least one screw hole 22 for engaging the supporting part 24 to be described later is formed at the other side of the support frame 21, that is, the bent portion inclined at a predetermined angle upward. According to the present invention, the support frame 21 is formed to be inclined at a predetermined angle toward the front upper side, but is not limited thereto, and a portion of the support frame 21 is predetermined to the front lower side so that even a small child can be used. It may be formed to be inclined at an angle.
