Abstract

To provide slippers for men's restrooms that suppress the scattering of urine during urination, stabilize the posture for urination, improve hygiene, and reduce the burden of cleaning. [Solution] This slipper features an insole surface that slopes forward at approximately 5 to 10 degrees, allowing the user to naturally adopt a posture that encourages forward pelvic thrust. Additionally, by incorporating a posture-guiding plate, the urination area is positioned approximately 1 cm closer to the toilet bowl than usual, stabilizing the direction of urination and effectively preventing urine splashing. The slipper's bottom is treated with a non-slip surface to ensure safety in the bathroom. Furthermore, the slippers are designed to accommodate foot sizes from infants to adults, making them suitable for a wide range of users.

Description

[Technical Field] This invention relates to toilet slippers equipped with a tilting structure and posture guide plate to prevent urine splashing in men's restrooms. [Background technology] In the past, when men urinate while standing in men's restrooms, urine would splash onto the floor and around the toilet, which was unsanitary and required more cleaning. To solve this problem, measures such as placing mats around the toilet have been taken, but it was difficult to control the user's posture or the direction of their feet. Summary of the Invention This invention provides toilet slippers with a forward-sloping sole and a posture-guiding plate that encourages a forward-leaning posture during urination, aiming to reduce urine splashing by naturally leaning forward. When the user wears these slippers, their pelvis naturally leans forward, shifting their center of gravity forward. This brings the urination area approximately 1 cm closer to the toilet bowl than usual, stabilizing the direction of urination and effectively reducing urine splashing. The slippers also feature a non-slip bottom for safety. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The slippers of this invention have a forward inclination of approximately 5 to 10 degrees relative to the insole, and a posture-guiding plate is placed on top of this to naturally tilt the sole of the foot forward. This structure encourages the user to position their pelvis forward, shifting their center of gravity forward. As a result, the urination area is positioned approximately 1 cm closer to the toilet bowl than usual, reducing urine splashing. The slippers' bottoms are non-slip to ensure safety in the bathroom. The slippers are made from synthetic resin or urethane foam, which combines comfort and durability. Furthermore, the slippers of this invention can be configured to accommodate a wide range of foot sizes, from infants to adults, and are intended for use in both homes and facilities. Benefits of the Invention: The inclined structure and posture-guiding plate of this invention naturally stabilize the user's posture while urinating, effectively reducing urine splashing. This also improves hygiene in the bathroom and reduces the burden of cleaning. Furthermore, the non-slip surface of the slippers ensures safety.

Claims

[Claim 1] The slippers have an insole surface that is inclined forward by about 5 to 10 degrees and is equipped with a posture induction plate that induces the sole of the foot to be inclined forward, and when the user wears the slippers, the pelvis naturally protrudes forward, and the urination part approaches the toilet bowl during urination, thereby suppressing urine scattering.
