辅助-type auxiliary device for seated toilet

The present invention relates to an auxiliary device for a toilet, and more particularly to a squatting auxiliary device for a seated toilet.

Since the existing seated toilet is in direct contact with the user's buttocks during use, most users use the seated toilet in the public toilet, and in order to avoid direct contact with the toilet, the two feet are stepped on the sides of the toilet. And use it in a kneeling position. However, the existing toilets are mostly made of ceramic material and have a smooth surface. When the user steps on the top, since the width of the circumference of the toilet is smaller than the width of the sole, if the sole of the foot is slippery, the center of gravity tends to slip and fall due to instability. When the user squats on the toilet, the whole body weight will fall on the toilet, which may cause the toilet to be broken and dangerous. In addition, the floor of the public toilet is usually damp and dirty. If the user uses the toilet in a kneeling position, it will leave dirt on the periphery of the toilet, causing trouble for the next user.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a squatting aid for a seated toilet that can be used safely and safely by the user in a kneeling position.

Thus, the present invention relates to a squatting auxiliary device for a seated toilet, which is suitable for being mounted on a seated toilet, the toilet comprising a circumference around which an upper opening is defined, the squatting auxiliary device for the seated toilet comprises : A support unit, a foot unit, and a cushion unit. The supporting unit comprises two supporting legs supported on a ground and respectively located on the left and right sides of the toilet, and a connecting bracket connecting the opposite ends of the left and right opposite ends respectively. The pedal unit is mounted on the support unit for the user to step on. The cushion unit includes a seat cover that is detachably disposed above the pedal unit.

Therefore, another object of the present invention is to provide a squatting aid for a seated toilet that can be used stably and safely by the user in a kneeling position.

Accordingly, the present invention relates to a squatting auxiliary device for a seated toilet, which is suitable for being mounted on a seated toilet, the toilet including a rim of the toilet surrounding an upper opening, the squatting auxiliary device for the seated toilet Includes: a support unit, a foot unit, and a cushion unit. The support unit comprises two support legs that can be supported on a ground and are respectively located on the left and right sides of the toilet. The foot unit is mounted on the support unit and abuts against the circumference of the toilet for the user to step on, the foot unit surrounding a slot defining an opening corresponding to the toilet. The cushion unit includes a seat cover that is detachably disposed above the pedal unit.
