Benefits of technology
[0011]In an upper body support apparatus for toilets according to the present invention, a user can place his / her arms on a support board while having the bowel movement, thus maintaining correct posture such that the upper body of the user is prevented from leaning too far forwards, thereby preventing an increase in blood pressure attributable to the bowel movement.
[0012]Furthermore, under normal conditions, the support board is inserted into and stored in a wall in the upright state. Hence, in a lavatory having limited space, free movement of the user is ensured, and the upper body support apparatus is prevented from impeding the opening or closing of a door of the lavatory. In addition, when washing the floor of the lavatory, the upper body support apparatus is prevented from impeding the washing operation. Water is prevented from being applied to the interior of the upper body support apparatus, so that metal elements thereof are prevented from rusting, and the upper body support apparatus is prevented from being covered with scale. Moreover, electronic components of the upper body support apparatus are prevented from absorbing moisture or from directly contacting water.
Problems solved by technology
However, such a posture makes the users develop bad habits, in other words, assume bad posture unconsciously in daily life.
Furthermore, such a posture has a bad influence on bowel evacuation.
Furthermore, in the case where the users strain to evacuate their bowels in the above posture, there is a problem in that blood pressure is increased, thus negatively affecting the body.
In the case of such constipated persons, due to anxiety when having bowel movements, it becomes still more difficult to have smooth bowel movements.
However, in the case of the conventional upper body support board, the support board is relatively heavy, so that it is difficult for the old or the weak to lift or push the support board.
Furthermore, there is a disadvantage in that, in the winter, when a user places his / her arms on the upper body support board, the user may feel a chill due to the cooled support board.

An upper body support apparatus for toilets is disclosed. The upper body support apparatus includes a support board (11), which supports the arms of the user thereon. The support board is rotated downwards or upwards between a wall and the front of the upper body of the user. Therefore, the present invention enables a user to place his / her arms on the support board (11). Furthermore, free movement of the user is ensured, and the upper body support apparatus is prevented from impeding the opening or closing of a door of the lavatory. In addition, when washing the lavatory, the upper body support apparatus is prevented from impeding the washing operation. As well, the present invention has a function of providing heat to maintain the body temperature of the user in the winter and a vibration function to stimulate the abdomen of the user to promote bowel evacuation.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD [0001]The present invention relates to an upper body support apparatus for supporting the upper body of a user who sit on a toilet.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Generally, when most users sit on toilets and have bowel movements, they bend their upper bodies forwards and place the arms on the legs.[0003]However, such a posture makes the users develop bad habits, in other words, assume bad posture unconsciously in daily life. Furthermore, such a posture has a bad influence on bowel evacuation.[0004]Furthermore, in the case where the users strain to evacuate their bowels in the above posture, there is a problem in that blood pressure is increased, thus negatively affecting the body.[0005]Recently, the number of constipated persons has markedly increased attributable to excessive stress and attempts to lose weight. In the case of such constipated persons, due to anxiety when having bowel movements, it becomes still more difficult to have smooth bowel movements.[0006]In particular,...
