Embodiment Construction

[0030]In accordance with one feature of this disclosure, a device for converting a sitting toilet having a seat to a squat toilet, includes a support having a central hinged portion, a pair of leg portions that extend away from the hinged portion, and a footrest structure mounted on the leg portions. The hinged portion is mounted on a front of a bottom surface of the seat for movement to a deployed position in which the support maintains a user seated on the seat in a squatting posture. The leg portions extend toward a floor on which the toilet is supported in the deployed position. The footrest structure is positioned forwardly of the seat to support a seated user's feet at a raised elevation above the floor in the deployed position.

[0031]In accordance with another feature of this disclosure, an assembly for converting a sitting toilet to a squat toilet, includes a seat having a bottom surface formed with a channel, and the above-described support. The hinged portion is mounted for...

Abstract

A sitting toilet is converted to a squat toilet. A seat having a bottom surface is formed with a channel. A support has a central hinged portion, a pair of leg portions that extend away from the hinged portion, and a footrest structure mounted on the leg portions. The hinged portion is mounted on a front of the bottom surface of the seat for movement between a stowed position in which the support is at least partly received in the channel, and a deployed position in which the support maintains a user seated on the seat in a squatting posture. The leg portions extend toward a floor on which the toilet is supported in the deployed position. The footrest structure is positioned forwardly of the seat to support a seated user's feet at a raised elevation above the floor in the deployed position.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]The present disclosure generally relates to a device and an assembly for, and a method of, converting a sitting toilet to a squat toilet.[0002]A toilet is a sanitation fixture used for the disposal of human urine and feces. A sitting toilet, sometimes called “the Western style,” is designed for people who prefer to sit on a seat raised above the floor above a toilet pan or bowl by using a toilet pedestal. A squat toilet, sometimes called “the Eastern style,” is designed for people who prefer to squat above a toilet pan or bowl, typically situated at floor level, with a person's thighs and bent knees tucked close to the person's abdomen and chest.[0003]Human physiology is thought to be better suited to assume a squatting posture during waste elimination. The human body has a bend, also known as the anorectal angle, between the rectum (where the feces builds up) and the anus (where the feces comes out). When standing upright, the anorectal angle is about 90 degrees, wh...
