Definitions

  • This invention relates to toilet equipment, more specifically to a chamber pot or potty, especially a potty for use by a young child.
  • Numerous terms may be used to designate such portable containers for the reception of waste matter, specifically urine and stools, eliminated by humans, but for convenience the term “potty” will be used herein to refer to this general class of portable toilet bowl, since this term is most commonly used in the context of infant toilet training and management, where this invention has particular application.
  • a simple standard potty consists of a bowl supported in a stable configuration, for example on a broad flat base, or by a dependent surrounding skirt which has a level lower edge forming a more or less continuous support around the bowl, which is contained within the skirt.
  • the upper rim of the bowl may be made broad to serve as a seat.
  • a disposal point such as a conventional flushable toilet (water closet) .
  • the toilet lid and seat are then lifted if they are not already raised, and the contents of the potty are tipped into the toilet bowl, which is then flushed to carry away the waste.
  • a potty comprising a bowl, a seat, a backrest extending to a height above the seat, and a rearward discharge spout extending from the bowl under the backrest .
  • the discharge spout permits the potty to be emptied by tilting or tipping it ba ⁇ kwardly above a waste receptacle, such as a flush toilet bowl, without the waste wetting or contacting the seat in any way, thereby substantially improving the hygiene of the disposal operation.
  • the potty preferably has a base on which it may be stably set down for use by a child for toilet purposes, but it is also possible that the potty may be adapted to be held in a separate support which does not demand that the potty be stable when separated from such support .
  • the bowl When the potty is oriented for use, either freely set down on its base or in its support, the bowl is positioned to catch the child's eliminated waste.
  • the backrest and seat are of course adapted to a child's size range and act as such when a child sits on the potty. In the sitting position constrained by the backrest and seat, the bowl is under the child and the discharge spout is behind the child's back, on the far side of the backrest, well away from the child's sight and reach.
  • the discharge spout is higher than the height of the bowl, and in particular higher than the height of the seat. This is to assist the avoidance of spillage by effluent slopping out of the discharge pipe when the potty is being carried to a WC for emptying, since the person carrying the potty can most readily watch the rim of the bowl and the seat during this process.
  • the discharge spout rises from the bowl and then terminates in a downwardly inclined lower pouring lip.
  • the discharge spout has upper and underneath surfaces leading to the lower pouring lip, both of which are downwardly inclined, at least when the potty is tilted backwardly for the discharge of waste. In this way, the risk of fluid waste running down the outside of the discharge spout after emptying the potty is minimised, and external contamination of the potty more easily avoided.
  • the discharge pipe is suitably a broad oval shape of sufficient size to allow for quick cleaning and access by hand.
  • the backrest may include a hand grip above the discharge spout, facilitating hygienic handling of the potty during emptying.
  • This hand grip may be formed only in the rear of the backrest, that is to say the part facing away from the bowl and seat of the potty.
  • the hand grip may comprise a recess in the backrest forming a finger hold.
  • a hand grip may also be provided at the front of the potty.
  • a suitable hand grip at the front is formed in the outside of a front skirt to the bowl. This hand grip may comprise a recess forming a finger hold.
  • the potty may also comprise a skirt on each side of the backrest extending rearwardly on each side of the discharge spout.
  • the backrest may have a concave front surface, when viewed in plan.
  • the seat may be formed on the rim of the bowl, at least one seat region being located on each side of the bowl, forward of the backrest.
  • the seat may be interrupted at the front of the potty by a raised shield portion extending upwardly from the bowl.
  • the sides of the bowl, other than in the region of the rearward discharge spout ' may be shaped so as to hinder or prevent spillage or slopping of waste from the bowl over the seat of the potty, by making them deep and steep .
  • the potty is preferably formed in one piece, and is suitably moulded of plastics material. A smooth, glossy surface, and absence of crevices, will assist cleanliness and hygiene.
  • Figure 1 is an isometric view of a potty in accordance with the invention from a point above, in front and to one side of the potty;
  • Figure 2 is a similar view of the same potty from a more rearward viewpoint
  • Figure 3 is a plan view of the potty
  • Figure 4 is a rear view,-
  • Figure 5 is a side view, in longitudinal cross section.
  • Figure 6 shows the same cross section as Figure 5, but the potty being lifted and tilted backwards to discharge waste.
  • a child's potty generally designated - 10 is formed in one piece as a moulded plastics product.
  • a bowl 12 contains liquid waste 14.
  • the bowl is provided with steep sides, near vertical towards the upper rim of the bowl, except towards the back of the bowl where rearwardly directed discharge spout 20 rises from the bowl to its outlet 22 at the back of the potty behind backrest 30.
  • the upper rim of bowl 12 is flattened on either side of the potty to form two opposite seat portions 16, but at the rear of the bowl the upper rim merges smoothly into the front of the backrest 30, while at the front of the bowl a portion of the rim is raised to form a shield 18 to assist in prevent urine from being projected forwards out of the bowl by a child sitting on the seat.
  • a continuous skirt 40 surrounds the bowl 12. This skirt extends downwardly from the seat portions 16 of the rim of the bowl on either side, and below the shield portion 18 at the front, and below the backrest 30 at the rear of the potty. The lower most portion of the skirt 40 around the potty is splayed out to form a foot 42.
  • the lowermost edge 44 of the skirt which is the termination of the foot 42, follows a substantially planar configuration and forms a stable base on which the potty can be set down on a flat surface. The edge of 44 is lower than the lowest part of the bowl, so that the bowl is supported, dependent from its upper rim, within the skirt 40, clear of any flat surface on which the potty may be placed.
  • the backrest 30 has side portions 32 which extend forwardly towards the seat portions 16 on either side of the bowl, so that the backrest has a concave front surface 33 when viewed in plan ( Figure 3) .
  • the backrest extends to a substantial height above the seat, and discharge spout 20 rises from the bowl 12 below the backrest and passes under the backrest to outlet 22 at a height H above the level of the seat portions 16, which are the lowest parts of the upper rim of the bowl 12.
  • the spout terminates in a downwardly inclined lower pouring lip 24, which has an upper surface 26 and an underneath surface 28 leading towards it, and these surfaces are suitably substantially horizontal or, as illustrated in Figure 5, slightly downwardly inclined to reduce the risk of liquid poured from the spout running around the pouring lip and back down the outside of the potty at the rear.
  • the rear surface of the backrest 30 is formed with a hand grip provided by an upper recess 36 forming a finger hold ( Figures
  • dividing portion 34 separates this upper recess from the discharge spout 20 below it. This dividing portion provides some protection for the hand against splashing when the potty is emptied.
  • a second hand grip at the front of the potty is provided by a recess 46 in the foot 42 of the skirt 40, forming a finger hold below the shield portion 18.
  • the rear of the potty is also formed with a lower recess 38 below the outlet 22, between rearward extensions 48 of skirt 40.
  • the open outlet 22 of spout 20 accordingly lies above recess 38, between the rearward side extensions 48 and the side portions 32 of the backrest and the rearward skirt extensions 48 effectively shield the outlet 22 from a child sitting on the potty.
  • the potty For emptying, the potty is carried to a suitable waste disposal point, such as a flushable WC, and tilted backwards ( Figure 6) while being held by an adult with two hands in the respective hand grips 36,46.
  • a suitable waste disposal point such as a flushable WC, and tilted backwards ( Figure 6) while being held by an adult with two hands in the respective hand grips 36,46.
  • the seat of the potty in particular, and the sides too are kept free of contamination by the liquid waste 14, contributing greatly to hygiene in subsequent use of the potty.
  • the configuration of the spout outlet ensures that waste can be poured into a disposal receptacle with a reduced risk of spillage or contamination of the seat rim and outside surfaces of the potty, in contrast to conventional potties which are prone to contamination of those areas in contact with the user as effluent fluid clings to the potty sides and seat and does not easily discharge in a fully controlled manner.
