AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a support for a sanitary fixture that allows multiple users to use it in consecutive order without the need for cleaning between uses. The support is easy to use, does not require users to handle any components of the sanitary fixture, and ensures hygiene without any interventions. The support is structurally simple and low-cost to manufacture. It is made up of an open and stackable box-shaped body that can be easily placed on the sitting portion of the fixture. The support can be temporarily connected to the fixture or engaged with other supports in a stacked condition. The support is designed to provide users with the assurance of using a sanitary fixture in conditions of absolute hygiene."

Problems solved by technology

In order to ensure hygiene for every user, these sitting portions, rings and covers must be subjected to frequent cleaning, preferably after each use, but this suffers the drawback of being very expensive, since it requires the use of specifically assigned labor, and further increases the wait between one use of the sitting portion and the next.

Manual cleaning of the sitting portion and / or of the ring performed between one use and the next, moreover, is unable to provide users with the assurance of cleanness of such sitting portion or ring, since a user can only check summarily whether the sitting portion and / or the ring have actually been cleaned accurately.

As a partial solution to this drawback, automatic devices for washing the sitting portion or, if provided, the ring pivoted thereto are known which automatically cleanse, after each use, the surface of the sitting portion and / or ring; these known types of device, however, are very complex and expensive and are further often subjected to malfunctions which compromise their reliability.

The main drawback of these known types of covering device is that their application to the sitting portion or ring is rather awkward, forcing the user to handle the sitting portion and / or ring, which may be dirty and / or wet.

Another drawback of these known types of covering device is that since they are typically very thin, under the weight of the user they tend to move from their position, with the consequent risk of not protecting the user from contact with the sitting portion or with the ring.
