[0001] The present invention relates to a slant adjusting device for a toilet seat, and more particularly, to a slant adjusting device for a toilet seat for a toilet, which is capable of taking an attitude suitable for each user's bowel movement by adjusting the inclination angle and height of a toilet seat, And an inclination adjusting device.

The activity of discharging the byproducts of "Appetite", which is the basic desire of human being, to the outside of the body has continued with the history of mankind, and a toilet for this purpose Installed restrooms are located in all buildings including public areas.

Herein, a toilet stool (also referred to as a toilet stool / or "toilet seat") refers to a western style flush toilet, where a person sees a stool (toilet stool: discharging stool or urine) It is well known that the toilet is composed of a toilet seat for the user to sit on for toilet, fresh water in the excrement, and a toilet bowl for discharging into the septic tank.

Meanwhile, according to a research report commissioned by the World Toilet Association (WTAA) to the Korea Regional Economics Association, it has been found that Korean people spend an average of one year in the restroom during their lifetime , The average number of times to look for a toilet to urinate or urine is 4 to 5 times a day, and the time is about 16 minutes (14 minutes for men and 18 minutes for women). Given the average life expectancy of our nation (78.5 years), we can not ignore the time in the bathroom when we consider that men live 290 days and women spend 380 days more than 90 days.

On the other hand, due to the nature of the human body, it is necessary to increase the abdominal pressure (Intra-abdominal pressure) to feel the pleasure of the bowel. For this, the knee should be higher than the hip joint (hip joint and thigh connection) Muscle relaxation and verticalization of the rectum and the resulting rate of abdominal pressure can be increased, and this posture can be most beneficial for bowel movements.

However, since the toilet seat so far has a horizontal state orthogonal to the ground, it is difficult to make a squatting posture and it is difficult to improve the abdominal pressure rate by giving strength to the abdominal wall.

Furthermore, since the toilet bowl is made of a pottery standardized by casting, it is impossible to control the height at first. Therefore, when a user with a small height such as a child is seated on the seat, the heel is inevitably lifted from the ground, and therefore, it is inevitably more troublesome to perform a bowel movement.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the height of the hips is formed lower than the knee height by the inclination of the seat (seat plate of the left leg) through the Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2005-0120449, Discloses a toilet seat which induces a smooth bowel movement so that force can be easily applied to the underbelly of the body.
