Abstract

This invention relates in general to plumbing systems, but more particularly to a toilet system. The principal object of the invention is to introduce a new and innovative way to include pedestals to raise the feet of a user of the toilet to achieve the most efficient alignment of their body to cleanse the body while defecating. This automatic model in this new category of toilets has inherent in its design the feature of having the pedestals encased in the base of the toilet itself until they are needed for defecation. At the touch of a button the pedestals are released into place and can then be elevated to five different levels to achieve the best alignment for the user. In addition, the Applicant has included “spa” features to enhance the experience for the user, however, the Applicant emphasizes that the “spa” features are ancillary and additional and are commonly found in commercial applications around the world. The unique and innovative feature of the complete line of pedestal toilets is that the pedestals are built directly into the base and are encased until needed by the user for optimum

Description

BACKGROUNDField of the Invention[0001]This invention relates to a plumbing system, specifically a toilet system, which is a toilet that comes equipped with pedestals built directly into the base of the unit. This creates a new category of toilets—pedestal toilets—this new line of toilets is a new innovation in the art and a thorough search of all previous patents will not disclose a system which has offered this feature.[0002]Additionally, this particular invention is the premium model in the series which offers “spa” features, which are simply additional features, in addition to offering automatic pedestals which are released at the touch of a button. This model offers five different levels for the user to select to raise the feet of the user to achieve the “squatting” position which has been shown to be the most efficient position for human beings while in the process of defecation. Further, this unit offers the user the luxury features available at the convenient touch of a butto...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The "Throne" toilet system includes a toilet with built-in pedestals for the user's feet. This allows the user to squat naturally without needing additional devices. The pedestals can also be automatically raised and retracted, making them convenient and not obstructing the user's mobility near the toilet. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a more efficient and comfortable toilet system for users.

Problems solved by technology

Withdrawing the air from the airspace in a tightly closed water tank may create suction pressure especially when the toilet is flushed.

The inefficiency in withdrawing the odorous air from the sleeve into the exhaust pipe can be a drawback with this system, because only low air pressure can be applied so that the water within the sleeve is not also withdrawn.

One drawback of this system is the requirement of a specially designed toilet bowl and water tank.

A major drawback for the weight-activated flushing mechanism is that it does not operate when the user does not sit down on the seat.

Possible concerns of these systems are in the limitation of fitting all the parts into an existing toilet system and the need to modify the water tank and the toilet lid for positioning the motion-sensing device.

So it is safe to say that there are numerous products available on the market which offer automatic features for the user when using the bathroom and toilet facilities, however, heretofore there has never been a commercially available toilet system offered in the world marketplace, whether for residential or commercial or industrial use which has offered the user a toilet which comes fully equipped with automatic pedestals which are built directly into the base of the stool and are attached as one unit.

Additionally, there has never been a toilet system offered in this art which has automatic, elevating pedestals and also comes equipped with “spa” features for the comfort and efficiency of the user while enjoying their bathroom experience.

In other cases, forgetfulness or lack of attentiveness of impaired individuals may prevent them from manually completing all tasks necessary for hygiene.

It is to be noted that as per the Applicant's knowledge, none of these prior art methods have been found to be completely suitable to meet these needs and are cumbersome and non-durable.
