Description

FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY

This utility model relates to sanitary-hygienic equipment, in particular for children, namely to a toilet device that can be used in road conditions.

BACKGROUND

There are various folding toilet devices that can be used in road conditions.

For example, a folding pot is disclosed in international application No. 1989011317 (A47K 11/04, 11/30/1989). The folding pot contains an annular base and two legs, each of which is connected at one end to the base with the possibility of rotation from the first position, in which the free ends of the legs face the center of the base, into the second position in which these legs are located in the axial direction of the base. However, the known folding pot is not suitable for use as an additional seat mounted on a conventional toilet.

The closest analogue of the proposed utility model is a toilet device disclosed in RF patent No. 2437609 (A47K 11/06, 12/27/2011), adopted as a prototype. The known toilet device comprises an annular base, two legs, each of which is connected at one end to the base with the possibility of moving from a first position in which the free end of the leg faces inward in the radial direction of the base, through a second position in which the leg is longitudinally relative to the axial direction of the base, in a third position in which the free end of the legs faces outward in the radial direction of the base. In the known device, the fixation of the legs in the second position is carried out by placing one of their ends in the corresponding grooves, preventing rotation of the legs away from the axial direction of the base. In addition, curly guide grooves are made in the device, each of which has two separate circular zones, ensuring the placement of the legs in two stable positions: the upper, in which the leg can be moved to the third position, and the lower, in which the leg is fixed in the second position. However, when the legs are in the second position, they are blocked from rotation only by grooves. Therefore, when an excessive lateral force is applied to the base of the device installed by the legs on the supporting surface, causing the base to move relative to the specified surface, the legs can exit the grooves and move to the first or second position, depending on the direction. Thus, the known toilet device does not have sufficient stability, which would ensure its safe use.

Therefore, there is a need to develop a toilet device that overcomes at least the above-mentioned disadvantage of the known toilet device.

DISCLOSURE OF A USEFUL MODEL

The objective of this utility model is to create a toilet device with sufficient stability when applying lateral forces to it.

According to one embodiment of the present utility model, the problem is solved due to the fact that in the toilet device containing the ring-shaped base, legs, each of which is connected at one end with the base, can be moved from the first position, in which the free end of the legs faces inward radial direction of the base, through a second position in which the leg is longitudinally relative to the axial direction of the base, in a third position in which the free end of the leg faces I’m working in the radial direction of the base, the base contains a female element, and each leg contains a mating male element that can be detachably connected to the specified female base element with the legs fixed in the second position, and each leg contains a female element, and the base contains a female mating element, made with the possibility of detachable connection with the specified covering element legs with fixing legs in the third position.

This embodiment of the utility model ensures the achievement of a technical result in the form of increasing the reliability of fixing the legs relative to the base.

In one embodiment of the utility model, the base may have guide elements limiting the legs to the axial direction of the base and rotation relative to the base. In this case, the guide elements may contain through closed grooves. The execution of the grooves closed allows you to exclude spontaneous separation of the legs from the base when they are moved in the axial direction of the base.

According to another embodiment of the toilet device, there may additionally be locking means located on the base and configured to limit the rotation of the legs when they are in the second position.

The legs can be made with the possibility of separation from the base when they are in the first position.

The toilet device may further comprise a seat placed on the base and corresponding to it in shape.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF A USEFUL MODEL

As shown in FIG. 1-3, the proposed toilet device comprises a substantially annular base 1, which has a figured seating surface 2, an inner lateral edge 3 defining a central hole, and an outer lateral edge 4, the height of which is greater than the height of the inner lateral edge 3. On the surface 2 there is a raised bulge 5 defining the front of the toilet device and providing protection against splashing.

In the considered embodiment of the utility model, the device comprises four legs 6, each of which is connected at one end to the base 1 with the possibility of moving from the first position in which the free end of the leg 6 is turned inward in the radial direction of the base, through the second position in which the leg 6 is located longitudinally with respect to the axial direction of the base 1, to a third position in which the free end of the leg 6 is facing outward in the radial direction of the base 1, and the leg 6 is essentially in the same plane with the Hovhan 1. Said movement is realized by rotating the legs from the first position to the third position via the second position. Cutouts 7 are made on the outer lateral edge 4, each of which is designed to accommodate the leg 6 when it is in the third position. The base 1 contains guide elements 8 made in the form of plates extending transversely with respect to the seating surface 2 from the outer lateral edge 4 to the inner lateral edge 3. Each guide element 8 includes a guide groove 9 also extending transversely with respect to the seating surface 2 and limiting the leg stroke with the axial direction of the base and rotation relative to it.

As shown in FIG. 4, each leg 6 has a step 10, interacting with a notch 7, which limits the rotation of the legs 6 to the third position. On opposite lateral sides of the ledge 10, cylindrical protrusions 11 and 12 are arranged on the same axis. At the end of each protrusion 11 and 12, elastically bent tabs 13 are formed. Moreover, the diameter of each of the protrusions 11 and 12 does not exceed the width of the guide groove 9, which ensures free translational movement of the legs 6 in the axial direction of the base 1, as well as their rotation to the corresponding position .

The protrusions 11 and 12 pass through the grooves 9, and the tabs 13 provide a fixation of the legs 6 in the guide grooves 9 and, thereby, prevent spontaneous exit of the protrusions 11 and 12 from the grooves 9.

To enable the legs 6 to be separated from the base 1, an angular notch 14 is provided on one of the sides of the ledge 10, and the protrusion 12 passes through this notch 14 and has a length equal to the sum of the length of the opposite protrusion 11 and the depth of the notch 14. When the leg 6 is in the first position , the specified cutout 14 allows the legs 6 to be displaced to the guide element 8, as a result of which the protrusion 12 can be removed from the guide groove 9. Due to this connection of the legs 6 with the base 1, their spontaneous exit is eliminated of the guide grooves and detach from the base 1.

To ensure greater stability of the toilet device when it is used in the second and third positions, the legs 6 are evenly spaced relative to each other around the circumference of the base 1.

On the basis of 1 there are recesses 15 (Figs. 1, 3), on which there are two female elements, each of which is made in the form of a through groove 16. Moreover, each leg 6 contains two reciprocal male elements, each of which is located on the end edge of the ledge 10 and is made in the form of a substantially rectangular protrusion 17 and an adjacent elastic tab 18 (Fig. 4). The protrusion 17 and the tab 18 are made with the possibility of detachable connection with the groove 16 with the fixation of the legs 6 in the second position. In this case, the possibility of forming said detachable connection is provided due to the elastic properties of the foot 15.

Each leg 6 also contains one female element, made in the form of a through groove 19 (Fig. 4), located on the ledge 10. In this case, the base 1 contains a reciprocal male element made in the form of an elastic L-shaped protrusion 20 (Fig. 1), located in the cutout 7 on the outer lateral edge 4 and made with the possibility of detachable connection with the groove 19, in which there is a fixation of the legs 6 in the third position.

The toilet device can be additionally equipped with locking means designed to limit the rotation of the legs when they are in the second position. As shown in FIG. 5, the locking means can be made in the form of ribs 21 located between the guide elements 8 and extending from the outer lateral edge 4 in the direction of the inner lateral edge 3. Each of the ribs 21 has a groove 22 designed to accommodate the end edge of the ledge 10 and located on the same line as the leg 6 is in the second position. In this case, the end edge of the step 10 can be made with the possibility of elastic fit in the specified groove 22.

To increase the strength of the base, it can be equipped with stiffeners 23 (Fig. 2) passing from the outer side edge 4 to the inner side edge 3.

The considered toilet device is used with a disposable receiving container (not shown in the drawings) placed in the central hole of the base 1. The specified receiving container may be a bag with handles wrapped around the base 1 and worn on the legs 6 of the device.

To improve the user's comfort, an additional seat (not shown in the drawings) can be installed on top of the base, the shape of which corresponds to the shape of the base 1. At the same time, a part of the receiving container located on the base is under the specified seat, which provides the user with additional convenience.

The proposed toilet device is used as follows.

If you need to use the toilet device as a separate toilet (Fig. 1-3), the legs 6 are rotated from the base, moving them from the first position to the second position, in which the legs 6 are located in the axial direction of the base 1. After that, the legs 6 are moved in the axial direction of the base towards it. As a result of this movement, the end end of the ledge 10 enters into the grooves 22, and the protrusion 17 and the tab 18 enter the groove 16 and are fixed in it (Fig. 3). This embodiment of the device eliminates the spontaneous separation of the legs 6 from warping 1 when it is in the second position, as well as the rotation of the legs 6 relative to the base 1. This ensures increased stability of the toilet device during its use.

A disposable bag (not shown in the drawings) is placed in the central hole of the base, the handles of which are worn on legs 6. On top of the bag, on the base 1, an additional seat is placed. After use, the package is removed, and the legs 6 are transferred to the first position, in which the toilet device is convenient to store and transport.

When using the toilet device as an additional seat placed on a conventional toilet bowl (Fig. 6-7), the legs 6 are moved to the third position, directing their free ends outward in the radial direction of the base, while the ledge 10 rests on the cutout 7, which eliminates further the rotation of the legs 6, and the protrusion 20 is connected to the groove 19. Thanks to this embodiment, the legs 6 are securely fixed in the third position.
