Description

Pleasant defecation induction toilet

The present invention relates to a comfortable bowel movement toilet, and more particularly, to a comfortable bowel movement inducing toilet that induces a crouching posture during bowel movement to induce smooth bowel movements while distributing the load applied to the legs so that bowel movements can be made in a comfortable posture. it's about

In general, pleasure is said to be the cornerstone of health. It is even said to be the secret of longevity. On the other hand, constipation (constipation) caused by the force of gravity applied to the naturalness of the bowel (intestine) curvature is one of the diseases that commonly occur because humans lead an upright life.

The causes of constipation are very diverse, such as various systemic diseases and drug use, and are influenced by race, gender, exercise, and stress, and eating habits such as skipping breakfast, frequency of meals, increased frequency of eating out, and lack of water or dietary fiber It has been reported that there is an overrelationship.

In addition, defecation disorder (dyschezia) due to deterioration of rectum function due to poor bowel habits is also pointed out as an important factor in constipation. makes it difficult

In the case of a toilet seat that is commonly used, defecation is performed in the same posture as sitting on a chair, so defecation is not smooth, and residual feces often remain after defecation.

In addition, the posture of sitting on the toilet with the upper body upright at 90° interferes with natural excretion because the puborectal muscle only partially relaxes and the large intestine maintains its intact twisted state.

In addition, in the toilet seat, the lower part of the thigh is pressed, and in the case of the toilet seat, the thigh and calf are severely overlapped and the pressure is severe, and as a result, smooth blood circulation to the leg may be hindered.

On the other hand, in the case of a squat toilet, by inducing a squatting posture so that the abdomen touches the front of the thigh, not only the bowel movement but also the discharge of residual feces is smooth and the body toxin is easily discharged, which is helpful to human health. In addition, it is an efficient posture for generating force for defecation as it is a posture in which abdominal pressure is easily formed, and it is helpful to prevent diseases such as hemorrhoids or anal bleeding by reducing anal pressure.

However, in the case of such a squat toilet, since the squatting posture is taken, the load is applied intensively to the legs (knees), which is inconvenient and difficult to use for a long time.

As a related prior art, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2013-0028198 discloses a footrest for a toilet seat that can help a user maintain a comfortable posture while sitting on the toilet seat.

However, the prior art as described above is only a configuration that raises the position of the feet, but is a configuration that does not induce the user's complete crouching posture, so that the hip muscles are not relaxed and remain tense, so the user cannot defecate smoothly. .

Therefore, there is a need to improve the problems of the prior art as described above.

The present invention was created to improve the problems of the prior art as described above, and by inducing a crouching posture during defecation to relax the buttocks muscles, it is possible to induce smooth defecation activities, and in particular, to distribute the load concentrated on the legs during a crouching posture Its purpose is to provide a comfortable defecation inducing toilet that allows defecation in a comfortable posture by doing so.
