Description

A supplementary equipment to using toilet for disabled person}

The present invention relates to a toilet auxiliary device for the disabled, and more specifically, as a standing device that can assist the elderly, the disabled or the disabled to stand up after toileting by installing on a toilet dedicated to the disabled with a disability in the lower body. The present invention relates to a toilet assisting device device for the handicapped to effectively raise the handicapped person sitting on the toilet by using a gas cylinder pressure.

In general, a toilet seat is a facility installed so that you can see the toilet while sitting in the bathroom. Looking at a schematic view of the configuration of such a toilet, a body having a height suitable for sitting is fixedly installed on the floor of the toilet, where the body is formed in a shape having a bowl to receive dirt.

And as the base and the cover are rotatably coupled to the rear of the body, the base is for supporting the user's buttocks so that they can sit comfortably, and the cover is for blocking the inside of the bowl formed in the body from the outside when necessary. This is the purpose.

It is a reality that the above-described general toilet bowl is inconvenient to use by the elderly with weak lower body strength or by patients or disabled (hereinafter abbreviated as users) who are inconvenient to move due to injury to the lower body. If the user's example is a patient who has injured lower body and has discomfort, the user feels difficulty in the behavior from sitting on the base of the toilet to stand up after seeing the toilet. Even in the process of sitting on the base of the toilet bowl to see, you will find it difficult.

In addition, even in the process of the user sitting on the toilet seat, in some cases, the user must be able to see the toilet in a relatively comfortable position while relying on the user's body somewhere. A hand rail that can be held and supported by hand is fixedly installed from the ground or wall surface to help the user to stand up through the hand rail.

In using the toilet bowl as described above, there are many cases in which the user needs help to make or raise the seat on the base through an auxiliary assistant. In particular, in the early stages of getting up after toileting, the assistance of an assistant assistant is urgently needed, but the handrail is pointed out as a factor that interferes with the assistant.

In view of the above, devices capable of assisting the user's standing are disclosed as related technologies, and this is Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2012-0062049 (name: walking aids capable of assisting sitting and standing, 2012 June 14, hereinafter referred to as'Patent Document 1') and Registration Patent No. 10-1190293 (Name: Standing Movement Assist, Registration Date: October 5, 2012, hereinafter referred to as'Patent Document 2' ) Is disclosed.

Patent Document 1 is a walking aid device for people who have difficulty walking independently due to weak lower extremity muscle strength, and uses the user's self-weight by using the stiffness of a member coupled to the walking aid. This is the potential energy due to the elasticity of the shock absorber. The shoulder support can be moved up and down to assist the user's standing and sitting.

The patent document 2 includes a gas cylinder unit capable of contracting or expanding in a longitudinal direction including a cylinder located at a lower side and a cylinder rod located at an upper side; An armpit support portion formed on the upper portion of the cylinder rod and supporting the weight of the disabled with a lower body; A gas cylinder support unit formed at a lower end of the gas cylinder unit and having two or more wheels in contact with the ground; It is a standing movement aid including a; a handle portion equipped with a first switch for adjusting the gas pressure of the gas cylinder portion.

That is, the shock absorber (fast absorber) of Patent Document 1 and the gas cylinder of Patent Document 2 load the gas pressure and occur in the armrest part across both armpits of the user by the expansion of the adjusted gas pressure when the user rises from a sitting position. It is a device that helps stand up as a structure.

However, the standing assistance as described above causes excessive force in the lower back and lower body until the point of standing up with initial arm strength, and it is not easy to get up from a normal sitting position, so there are many cases that rely on the support of an assistant assistant.

Since the auxiliary standing device as described above is a device that stands up from a sitting position in a chair and walks while standing, it can be used only to the extent that it is suitable for users (disabled, patients) who have some strength in the lower body, and in the toilet seat, the user can stand up. There is a problem that it is difficult to use appropriately for the purpose of the process.
