Benefits of technology

[0008]The present invention has been accomplished under the circumstances in view. According to one aspect of the present invention, the toilet comprises a toilet bowl and a toilet seat hinged to the toilet bowl and supported on the rim. The toilet seat is supported on the rim in a downwardly forwards extending sloping position at a sloping angle about 5°˜70° for supporting the user in a half-squatting position such that the muscles of the abdomen and the anus and the muscles around the bottom side of the pelvis are relaxed, and the user can easily apply a pressure to force waste matters out of the rectum and the anus to the inside of the toilet bowl.

Problems solved by technology

Using a toilet without a toilet seat is uncomfortable.
People may be unable to keep the body in a squatted position for long.
An old person may be unable to stand up from a squatted position.

Embodiment Construction

[0023]In the following described various embodiments of the present invention, the user keeps the body in a half-squatting position when sitting on the toilet seat, and the angle defined between the femur and the tibia is greater than 90-degrees. At this time, the muscles of the abdomen and the anus and the muscles around the bottom side of the pelvis are relaxed, and the user can easily apply a pressure to force waste matters out of the rectum and the anus to the outside of the body.

[0024]Referring to FIG. 1, the toilet, referenced by 300, comprises a toilet bowl 310, a tank 330 at the rear side above the toilet bowl 310, a toilet seat 350 hinged to the toilet bowl 310 and rested on the rim 311 of the toilet bowl 310, and a lid cover 370 hinged to the rear side of the toilet seat 350. The tank 330 may be formed integral with a part of the toilet bowl 310. Alternatively, the tank 330 may be separately installed. The tank 330 is adapted to hold water and to discharge water into the t...

Abstract

A toilet having the toilet seat thereof supported on the rim of the toilet bowl in a downwardly forwards extending sloping position for supporting the user in a half-squatting position such that the muscles of the abdomen and the anus and the muscles around the bottom side of the pelvis are relaxed, and the user can easily apply a pressure to force waste matters out of the rectum and the anus to the inside of the toilet bowl.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001](a) Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to toilets and more particularly to such a toilet of which the toilet seat defines with the horizontal line a 5°˜70° angle (preferably 7°˜12°) so that the user is sitting on the toilet seat at a half-squatting manner to facilitate discharging of waste matters from the bowels.[0003](b) Description of the Prior Art[0004]According to researches, the rectum is empty most of the time. Because there is a functional constrictor of low tension in the junction between the rectum and the sigmoid colon, the muscles of the rectum are induced to make a reactive contraction and the sphincter muscle of the anus is relaxed during the motion of the digestive system to force waste matters out of the bowels into the rectum. Because consciousness controls the contraction of the internal and external sphincter muscles of the anus, waste matters do not leak out of the anus.[0005]The action of discharging waste ...
