Benefits of technology

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a new-style sanitary device equipped on a toilet seat. Not only it may truly attain a separating effect of the absolute clean, but also it possesses the advantages that comfort for sitting and convenience for using.
[0006] The present invention relates to a separating device used for a toilet seat, in which a continuous mantle fully covers an annular seat frame. The whole device is comprised of a seat frame, a mantle, a mantle recovery device and a turning cap. And the whole device is attached on the base of the toilet seat by a rotating shaft, so it may be raised up freely.
[0011] After the opening / closing part is closed, the seat frame will takes the shape of a full circularity, and its surface that contacts with the human body is covered by one layer of the separating film (a seat frame of seat ring type) or by two layers of the separating film (a framed-type seat frame). An electric motor or a manual handle is adopted to power the recovery device that is used for recovering the used mantle and drive the new mantle to cover the whole surface of the seat frame. The above actions are repeated until the user sees the referring sign adjacent to the terminal end of the mantle. Accordingly the user may prepare a new mantle for replacing the used mantle timely.
[0013] For the seat frame is arranged to have a movable opening / closing part, a conflict between the mantle to be put on the seat frame and the sealing circularity of the seat frame may be solved. In the meanwhile, when the user is to replace the mantle, he may open the opening / closing part. Therefore, the problem that a new mantle may be polluted by the used mantle during replacement can be solved. Due to adoption of the design that a blade is provided at the connecting part between the seat frame and the base, after the mantle is cut open from the outer side of the seat frame, it will continue to cover the back side of the seat frame. Thereby, the conflict between covering the whole surface of the seat frame with the mantle and the mantle having to pass by the connecting part between the seat frame and the toilet seat's base also may be solved. Due to the settlement of above problems, the one-off mantle may cleanly and fully cover the whole round surface of the seat frame. Consequently the separating effect that the toilet seat is absolutely sanitary may be obtained.
[0014] After the opening / closing part has been closed, the circular seat frame will close up. Then, the user will feel that this seat frame is just the same as a conventional seat ring. Furthermore, a film material itself has a better characteristic of thermal insulation. An air film exists between the seat frame and the seat ring. Thereby, in autumn and winter when room temperature is not high, it may be avoided that the user's skin feels an instantly cold. As a result, we may achieve the design object that the user feels comfortably. The mantle may be put on easily. And after it is put on, it may be used by scores of man-times, even by 100 man-times, depending on the different length of the mantle. Furthermore, during daily usage, the replacement of the mantle may be completed automatically only by starting up the electric motor or rotating the manual handle. Therefore, the operation is very simple. Furthermore, a referring sign is provided adjacent to the terminal end of the mantle. Then an awkwardness resulting from the lack of the mantle may be avoided. Accordingly, the design object of convenience and practicality may be attained.

Problems solved by technology

But this U-shape seat ring opens towards the backside, and an engine base is installed at the backside, so the engine base cannot be covered by the jacket.
For there is not any separating measure taken for the cabinet, which is used for enclosing the engine base, a leak where is not sanitary will occur.
Consequently, the separating effect cannot attain an absolute and real cleanness.
It is obvious that the sitting posture of this kind will have a bad influence on blood circulation.
And meanwhile for the sitting posture of this kind is unhealthy, the user's muscle will be in a stress state.
Once the user has kept this posture for a time, he will feel discomfortably.

first embodiment

[0022] In the first embodiment, the opening / closing part (18) is arranged at one side of the seat frame (1). On the other side of the seat frame and adjacent to the connecting part that connects the seat frame with the base of the toilet seat, a blade (3) is provided. As shown in FIG. 1, the blade is preferably fixed at the connecting part (6) between the seat frame and the seat frame's rotating shaft. Along the edge of the seat frame, the connecting part is cut so as to form a narrow groove (4), which admits only a single layer of the mantle to be put onto. The edge of the blade is hided into the groove (4), in this way, it may avoid of the fact that the exposed cutting edge may injure people and make damages to clothing.

[0023] In FIG. 1, the seat frame (1) is a seat ring type made of a sheet material, while the seat frame shown in FIG. 2 is a framed type made of a bar stock. The inner frame (20) and outer frame (21) of the framed-type seat frame are rested respectively on the inne...

second embodiment

[0041] For example, the second embodiment is shown in FIG. 3. Both of two opening / closing parts (18) are at the backside (1a) of the seat frame. Of which, the opening / closing part on the left side of the fracture opens and closes under the seat frame's plane, thereby it corresponds to the mantle recovery end (B) that is under the seat frame's plane. On the other hand, the opening / closing part on the right side of the fracture opens and closes above the seat frame's plane, thereby it corresponds to the mantle inputting end (A) that is above the seat frame's plane. The advantage of this embodiment is that, because the mantle's inputting end is arranged at a side face, the water tank at the backside of the toilet seat's base can be passed round thoroughly.

[0042] Furthermore, for example the third embodiment is shown in FIG. 4. On the basis of the second embodiment, the inputting end (A) of the mantle is designed at the same side as the recovery end (B) and arranged above the recovery e...

Abstract

The invention relates to a sanitary device equipped on a toilet seat. The device is used mainly to solve the sanitary problem that, the seat ring of the toilet seat will contact with a lot of people's body, so virtually it becomes a spreading medium of the pathogen. The device comprises a seat frame, a mantle, a mantle recovery device and a turning cap. And the whole device is attached on the base of the toilet seat. An opening / closing part is provided at the fracture on the seat frame of the seat ring type or of the framed type. The long and tubular mantle is put on the seat frame via the fracture, and then it moves around the seat frame by a round. At the connecting part that connects the seat frame with the base the mantle is cut open from the outer side by a blade. Subsequently, the mantle covers the other part of the seat frame. Finally, it comes into a recovery device via the fracture. Consequently, the opening / closing part forms a completely circular seat frame as a conventional seat frame. And the seat frame's surface is fully covered by the one-off separating film. A referring sign is provided adjacent to the terminal end of the mantle, so as to remind the user of timely replacing the mantle. Depending on the different length of the mantle, a roll of mantle newly replaced can be used by 10-100 man-times. This device is simple in structure, sanitary, advantageous to environmental protection, convenient and practical. Furthermore, when the user sits on the device, he or she will feel comfortably. This device adapts to a variety of the spots where the toilet seat will not be used by only one specific person.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a sanitary device equipped on a toilet seat. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Most of the toilet seats are not used by only a specific person. The toilet seat may contact directly with a lot of people during usage, so virtually it becomes a medium that spreads all kinds of the deadly pathogen. The existed patent technology has done a great effort to improve the toilet seat. For example, the patent ZL942433 16.5 has disclosed a U-shape facing ring of the toilet seat, in which a jacket of the facing ring may be replaced. But this U-shape seat ring opens towards the backside, and an engine base is installed at the backside, so the engine base cannot be covered by the jacket. [0003] As viewed from physics, the larger area of a seat that contacts with the hip is, the less force one unit area of the hip will bear, and the more comfortably the user will feel. This is just the reason for that sitting on a sofa is more comfortable tha...
