The quality of materials used in many products is inconsistent, and the fixing plates are not securely attached to the toilet, posing safety hazards for the elderly. Furthermore, the armrests cannot be flipped up, restricting space when the elderly sit down, and the sides of the toilet seat obstruct their feet, limiting leg movement, especially for larger individuals. In short, there is significant room for improvement in the design and usability of existing toilet seat products. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an upward-curving toilet holder.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: an upward-curving toilet seat, comprising a pair of support frames, a telescopic rod for snap-fit assembly between the support frames, and several lateral locking positions for adjusting the connection spacing between the telescopic rod and the support frame. The support frame also has snap-fit foot pads at the bottom, and longitudinal locking positions for adjusting the connection spacing between the foot pads and the support frame. The top of the support frame has a hinged movable handrail, which rests horizontally against the top of the support frame and has at least 90° of horizontal upward rotational freedom. The support frames are provided with opposing clamping members, which are threadedly connected to the support frames for adjusting the spacing.
[0005] The support frame consists of an integrally connected upper frame and a lower frame. The width of the upper frame is smaller than the width of the lower frame, and the support frame has a stepped structure.
[0006] The middle section of the telescopic rod has an arc-shaped structure, and the support frame is provided with a connecting rod. The two ends of the telescopic rod are sleeved with the corresponding connecting rods. The lateral locking position includes a connecting hole provided on the telescopic rod and the connecting rod.
[0007] A C-shaped pin is provided between the telescopic rod and the connecting rod, and an insert is provided on the inner side of the C-shaped pin for inserting into the connecting hole.
[0008] The foot pad and the support frame are connected together. The longitudinal locking position includes two connecting holes respectively provided on the foot pad and the support frame. The two connecting holes are also provided with two fixed fitting plugs.
[0009] The clamping component includes a clamping plate, a clamping rod, and a protective sleeve. One end of the clamping rod is threadedly connected to the support frame, and the clamping plate is clamped and fixed by abutting against the other end of the clamping rod.
[0010] The protective sleeve is fitted onto one end of the clamping rod, and the support frame has several screw holes in the middle position.
[0011] The movable handrail and the support frame are connected by bolts through a hinge limit.
[0012] The movable handrails are equipped with glow-in-the-dark strips.

The connecting seat is provided with a fixing hole for installing the clamping rod. The clamping plate has an arc surface, and the clamping rod is provided with an internal hexagon adjustment hole.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The height and width of the upward-folding arc-shaped toilet seat provided by this utility model are adjustable, allowing elderly people of different statures to use it comfortably. The handrail can be folded up; when the handrail is folded up, there is more space, allowing the elderly to sit sideways. The arc-shaped toilet handrail frame provides more space in front of the thighs, allowing the legs to move left and right without obstruction, making it more free to use. The sides of the handrail are equipped with glow-in-the-dark strips to prevent the elderly from falling and bumping into them in the dark, reducing safety hazards. The toilet handrail bracket is fixed with an internal hexagonal clamp, and the arc-shaped clamp fits more closely to the outer wall of the toilet. The internal hexagonal clamp is fixed more firmly and is not easy to loosen, making it safer to use. Attached Figure Description

[0018] like Figures 1-3As shown, an upward-opening curved toilet seat includes a pair of support frames 1. A telescopic rod 2 is snap-fitted between the support frames 1. Several lateral locking positions 3 are provided between the telescopic rod 2 and the support frames 1 to adjust the connection spacing. Each support frame 1 also has snap-fitted foot pads 4 at its bottom. Longitudinal locking positions 5 are provided between the foot pads 4 and the support frames 1 to adjust the connection spacing. A hinged movable armrest 6 is provided at the top of each support frame 1. The movable armrest 6 rests horizontally on the top of the support frame 1 and has at least 90° of angular freedom of rotation upwards. Opposite clamping members 7 are provided between the support frames 1, and the clamping members 7 are threadedly connected to the support frames 1 to adjust the spacing. Both lateral and longitudinal adjustments can be made coarsely using the adjustable positions, and then finely adjusted using the clamping members 7. Fine adjustment is mainly achieved through the threaded connection.
[0019] This product consists of a handrail section, a clamp section, and a toilet bracket section. The toilet bracket section is formed by combining two support frames 1 together via a telescopic rod 2 and securing them with C-shaped pins 11. Four telescopic feet 4 are fitted onto the four feet of the support frames 1. The width and height are adjusted by pressing the pins on the toilet support rod, which are controlled by springs, but the adjustment is not limited to this.
[0020] The clamping mechanism involves inserting the Allen wrench 13 through the three holes on the side of the toilet bracket, according to the toilet's height, and tightening it securely to prevent loosening. Then, the protective sleeve 15 is placed over the clamp 13 to prevent the elderly from getting caught. This section primarily explains that tools can be used to strengthen the grip and improve its effectiveness.
[0021] The grab handle is designed to be mounted on the top crossbar of the toilet support frame 1 by flipping it up. Screws are then passed through the holes in both the grab handle and the toilet support frame 1 and secured with nuts. The grab handle can be folded up for use without taking up space, allowing for greater mobility for the elderly. Furthermore, the grooves on both sides of the grab handle have luminous strips that are clearly visible even in the dark, preventing the elderly from falling or bumping into things in the dark.
[0022] The support frame 1 consists of an integrally connected upper frame 8 and lower frame 9. The width of the upper frame 8 is smaller than the width of the lower frame 9, and the support frame 1 has a stepped structure. That is, it consists of two relatively vertical parts, which can essentially be regarded as a stepped structure, which is conducive to support and provides ample space for use.
[0023] The telescopic rod 2 has an arc-shaped middle section. A connecting rod 10 is provided on the support frame 1. Both ends of the telescopic rod 2 are sleeved with corresponding connecting rods 10. The lateral locking position 3 includes connecting holes on both the telescopic rod 2 and the connecting rod 10. A C-shaped pin 11 is provided between the telescopic rod 2 and the connecting rod 10. An insert 12 for inserting into the connecting hole is provided inside the C-shaped pin 11. Since the lateral direction is not the primary load-bearing direction, the C-shaped pin 11 is sufficient to meet the design requirements, while also ensuring convenient operation, structural stability, and preventing loosening.
[0024] The foot pad 4 is sleeved with the support frame 1. The longitudinal locking position 5 includes two connecting holes respectively provided on the foot pad 4 and the support frame 1. A second plug-in is provided at the second connecting hole for fixed assembly. Here, the second plug-in is simply a metaphor for a component with a similar insertion and locking mechanism, such as the ball mentioned in this embodiment, which is inserted or locked into the second connecting hole by a spring. Other rods or fasteners can also be used to achieve the desired effect.
[0025] The clamping component 7 includes a clamping plate 13, a clamping rod 14, and a protective sleeve 15. One end of the clamping rod 14 is threadedly connected to the support frame 1, and the clamping plate 13 is clamped and fixed by the other end of the clamping rod 14. The protective sleeve 15 is sleeved on one end of the clamping rod 14. The support frame 1 has several screw holes in its middle position. A connecting seat 16 is also provided between the clamping plate 13 and the clamping rod 14. The connecting seat 16 is connected to the clamping plate 13 by screws. The connecting seat 16 has a fixing hole for installing the clamping rod 14. The clamping plate 13 has an arc surface, and the clamping rod 14 has an internal hexagon adjustment hole. The arc surface of the clamping plate 13 better fits the toilet. By rotating and adjusting the clamping rod 14, the clamping plate 13 is moved towards the toilet side to achieve effective clamping. The purpose of the connecting seat 16 is to facilitate installation and production. The clamping rod 14 can be obtained by machining an internal hexagon from a screw or other materials. This is only one embodiment and not the only limitation. The clamping rod 14 and the connecting seat 16 can be relatively fixed or have an assembly relationship that restricts axial movement, depending on the actual processing and production needs.
[0026] The movable handrail 6 is connected to the support frame 1 by bolts for hinged positioning, and openings allow components to pass through, facilitating hinged and axial installation positioning. The movable handrail 6 is equipped with a luminous strip for easy identification and gripping by personnel; however, this will not be elaborated upon or limited further here.
