Toilet Bowl Having An Inclined Surface

Abstract

A novel toilet bowl having an inclined surface being an angle between 30 degrees and 70 degrees in relation to the floor is capable of supporting a user as they lean against the toilet as opposed to sitting on the toilet. The inclined surface has a substantially central opening having a perimeter sufficient in size to receive human derived waste. The toilet bowl pitched at an inclined angle has a seat. The seat can receive a plurality of barriers, whereby a user tears away each layer to expose a new sanitary layer for a user to lean against. A toilet seat attachment has an inclined angle for use with an existing standard toilet. The toilet seat has an inclined surface for use with a toilet having a horizontal toilet bowl surface in relation to the floor. A user can be secured to the toilet seat with a seat belt.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates, generally, to a tapered toilet bowl. More particularly, it relates to a toilet bowl pitched at an inclined angle.[0003]2. Background Art[0004]The standard toilet seat on many conventional toilet bowls has a substantially constant horizontal configuration, making it difficult for including, but not limited to, elderly individuals, disabled users, and surgery patients to stand up from a seated position. Replacement toilet seats are taller than standard toilet seats and have a substantially horizontal configuration, requiring a user to sit on the toilet seat with their legs bent at about a 90 degree angle in relation to the floor. Standing up from a position where a user's legs are bent at a 90 degree angle in relation to the floor is not easy and a user may need assistance from a hand railing for support from a seated position to a standing position. The problem with a hand rail is that it i...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent describes an improved toilet seat attachment that can be used with a standard toilet. The toilet seat has an inclined surface that can be used with a toilet that has a horizontal bowl surface. The inclined surface has a central opening large enough to collect human waste. The toilet seat has a support surface opposite the user's support surface, which is horizontal in relation to the floor. The user support surface is angled between 30 degrees and 70 degrees in relation to the floor. This allows the user to lean against the toilet at an angle, which helps to straighten out their legs while sitting. Overall, this invention makes it easy to modify a standard toilet by adding a few extra features.

Problems solved by technology

The standard toilet seat on many conventional toilet bowls has a substantially constant horizontal configuration, making it difficult for including, but not limited to, elderly individuals, disabled users, and surgery patients to stand up from a seated position.

Standing up from a position where a user's legs are bent at a 90 degree angle in relation to the floor is not easy and a user may need assistance from a hand railing for support from a seated position to a standing position.

The problem with a hand rail is that it is bulky and would require additional parts, which would increase the costs associated with manufacturing.

Additionally, a user may not have the strength to pull themself up from a toilet seat that has a substantially horizontal configuration.

This may be painful or impossible for a user that does not have full function or impaired function of these muscle groups.

Without a way for the toilet seat to facilitate a user back to a standing position, some users may injure themselves in the process of standing and may need the help of an additional device such as a hand railing, a walker, or another person.

One challenge being the need for a user to maintain a sitting position with the user's legs bent at about a 90 degree angle in relation to the floor.

The problem with a toilet seat where the user's legs are positioned about 90 degrees in relation to the floor is that many users do not have the mobility to bend their legs 90 degrees.

Additionally, users may not be able to lift themselves off of the toilet seat when their legs are positioned at about a 90 degree angle in relation to the floor.

However, when a user is in a seated position, their legs are still bent at about a 90 degree angle in relation to the floor, making it difficult for a user to stand up from a seated position on the toilet seat.

Prior art toilet seats have a solid surface that may make sitting on the toilet seat uncomfortable for a user.
