Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a simple emergency toilet. [Background technology]

[0002] While the portable emergency toilets currently in use have evolved somewhat with each disaster, most still rely heavily on manual labor (hence the single-use approach), leading to a stalemate in improvements. While improvements have been made over time in terms of eating and sleeping, existing toilet products (generally consisting of only a waste bag and coagulant) have not seen any significant improvement due to their construction (basically using the existing toilet bowl as a base), resulting in waste bags being unnecessarily large and requiring the user to manually clean up after use (cleaning up droplets and venting odor-laden air, sealing the toilet, and transporting it). This has led to increased mental health stress, and in some cases, reducing use has led to poor health. This same problem exists with cylindrical portable emergency toilets, which use similarly sized waste bags.

[0003] In order to further develop simple emergency toilets in the future, it is necessary to not only improve the hygiene aspects of use, but also to create an environment that reduces mental stress. In particular, it is necessary to reduce the amount of manual labor required and create an environment similar to that of regular toilet use.

[0004] The disclosure of Patent Document 1 and similar products requires the user to install and prepare the product in an existing toilet or portable emergency toilet each time it is used, and then manually clean up after use. As a result, there are variations in the installation and preparation methods (due to issues such as the shape of the toilet) for each toilet, and the manual post-use cleanup increases stress, particularly in terms of mental health. As a result, a noticeable number of users are limiting their use entirely. Unless the toilet seat holders for existing toilets and portable emergency toilets are reconsidered (as portable emergency toilets), the waste collection bag itself will remain very large, and the effort required for setup and post-use cleanup will not be reduced due to the large bag itself. Specifically, the large waste collection bag itself makes it difficult to deal with the diffusion and adhesion of droplets that splatter during use (which spreads over a wide area), and the smelly air that fills the waste collection bag requires manual work, from venting the smelly air to sealing the bag and removing it, which does not reduce stress. Furthermore, since the user has to do the work manually, there is a high possibility that dirt or other contaminants will adhere to the user's body. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 6817670 [Patent Document 2] Utility Model Registration No. 3144187 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] Reduced odorous air emissions and automatic sealing As mentioned above, the challenge with the commonly used simple emergency toilet systems is to reduce mental health stress and create an environment similar to that of normal toilet use.

[0007] The present invention was developed in consideration of the above-mentioned problems, and aims to reduce manual work as much as possible from before to after using the toilet, reduce stress from a mental health perspective, and create an environment similar to that of normal toilet use. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned problems, the toilet seat and a toilet seat stand with a narrow diameter inside the toilet seat defecation hole, or with a narrow defecation hole in part like a funnel or inverted funnel, a bag for storing waste (hereinafter referred to as a waste bag), and equipment for sealing and cutting the waste bag (hereinafter referred to as the sealing equipment and the cutting equipment) are provided. More specifically, as shown in Figure 2, the waste bag and the sealing equipment and the cutting equipment are provided inside the toilet seat stand, and a storage container (hereinafter referred to as a cartridge, details of which are explained in paragraph 0009) that can dispense the waste bags in sequence is provided around the toilet seat to enable continuous use. The inside of the toilet seat stand will be explained again in paragraph 0010.

[0009] The simple emergency toilet of the present invention is generally used in disaster situations where normal toilet use is difficult. In such an environment, since an unspecified number of people will use the toilet, it is necessary to enable continuous use. To address this issue, as shown in Figures 2 to 9, the waste receptacle bag (a long, cylindrical bag whose bottom is basically open except for the initial tip of the waste receptacle bag) is rolled from the open end to the opposite end (in a state of being rolled up multiple times) and stored in a cartridge. The waste receptacle bag in the cartridge is ready to be placed under the toilet seat, allowing the waste receptacle bag to be pulled out in sequence each time the toilet is used. The simple emergency toilet described in claim 1 has a constriction or the like as described in paragraph 0008 on the inside of the toilet seat stand, and a drawer container for the waste receptacle bag and the flapper valve are also stored inside the toilet seat stand.

[0010] As a supplement to enable continuous use, as a continuation of paragraph 0009, it is necessary to store a larger amount of waste bags in the cartridge. As a countermeasure, the wasteful space can be reduced by providing a defecation hole that is narrower in diameter inside the toilet seat side defecation hole, or that has a constriction or inverted constriction around the inside, or that is partially narrow such as a funnel or inverted funnel shape, thereby reducing the size of the waste bag itself, which in turn limits the diffusion and adhesion of droplets of dirt that occur during use, and finally reduces the volume of odorous air. This is the simple emergency toilet described in claim 1.

[0011] Continuing from paragraph number 0010, this is a simple disaster prevention toilet as described in claim 1, characterized in that by making it possible to reduce the size of the waste bag, the volume of odorous air is reduced, making the discharge work itself unnecessary or reduced, and subsequent manual work is mechanized as much as possible.

[0012] Existing portable emergency toilets not only use regular toilet bowls (as a substitute for a toilet seat stand), but also sometimes use separate toilet seat stands (simple toilet bowls with a toilet seat that resembles a toilet bowl). Because they also use regular toilet bowls, a large waste bag is required (generally covering the sides and bottom of the toilet bowl or toilet seat stand). This, in turn, creates wasted space (simplified emergency toilets don't require the same amount of space as regular toilets for cleaning, etc.), which leads to noticeable droplets spreading and adhering, and odor-laden air filling the waste bag. Cleaning up after use is one of the stressors. The same problem exists with existing portable emergency toilet seat stands, as the inside of the stand is generally unnecessarily wide (wider than the toilet seat's excretion hole), creating a cylindrical shape. However, in the present invention, by having a narrow inner diameter throughout the toilet seat base, or by having a constriction or inverted constriction around the inner periphery, or by having a partially narrow defecation hole like a funnel or inverted funnel, the waste bag can be made smaller and wasted space can be reduced, limiting the spread and adhesion of droplets and reducing odorous air, which can play a role in reducing the manufacturing cost of the waste bag itself and reducing stress on mental health.In addition, by storing the sealing device, cutting device, and flapper valve in the constricted part inside the toilet seat base, the simple emergency toilet itself can be made smaller and lighter.

[0013] In the present invention, following on from paragraph 0012, by mechanizing the subsequent manual work as much as possible, the possibility of the user being contaminated with filth and other debris that would otherwise occur if the user were to do the work manually is reduced, and hygiene can be maintained from before to after use of the toilet.

[0014] This also leads to an increase in the capacity of the primary collection area after the used waste bags are removed from the toilet seat stand, and helps reduce the costs associated with transportation to a final disposal site and final processing. [Effects of the Invention]

[0015] Unlike existing simple emergency toilets, the present invention has the advantage of being easy to set up. Existing toilets require the waste receptacle to be laid out from the sides to the bottom each time they are used, but the present invention only requires the waste receptacle to be attached around the toilet seat.

[0016] This product simplifies post-use cleanup. With existing toilets, the waste bag must be removed from the toilet bowl or seat base, and the large waste bag must be manually cleaned to prevent droplets from spreading and adhering, and the odor-laden air that fills the waste bag must be expelled to the outside. However, the new waste bag is smaller, which limits the spread and adhering of droplets and significantly reduces the volume of odor-laden air itself. This also reduces the mental stress caused by discomfort.

[0017] As an addendum to paragraph 0016, at the point in time shown in Figure 4, the bottom of the waste bag is used for a different purpose, such as a drawer container for the waste bag as described in paragraph 0012, but by also having the function of pushing up as shown in Figure 5, the wastewater level in the waste bag appears to rise (or the wastewater area expands). If the bag is sealed at that point, the volume of the odorous air itself can be further reduced.

[0018] Continuing from paragraph 0017, with regard to the work after the odorous air has been expelled, in existing products the sealing and removal of the waste bags is done manually, but in this case, as stated in paragraphs 0043 to 0045 (sealing, cutting, and removal work), by mechanizing the subsequent manual work as much as possible (so that the used waste bags themselves are not touched), the possibility of the user becoming soiled with waste, etc., which would occur if the work was done manually, is reduced, which not only reduces mental health stress but also has the effect of maintaining hygiene from before to after use of the toilet.

[0019] The provisions of paragraphs 0015 to 0018 make it possible to create an environment similar to that of a normal toilet, which also has the effect of improving the health of the user.

[0020] By providing an inner groove or the like on the toilet seat base, not only can the waste bag be made smaller, but the gap between the bag and the toilet seat can be effectively utilized. The sealing device, the cutting device, and the flapper valve can be stored in the gap. As a result, the portable emergency toilet itself can be made smaller and lighter.

[0021] In particular, by further subdividing each equipment item described in paragraph 0020 and selecting what to use (manual or mechanized, selecting the type of mechanization itself, etc.), the manufacturing cost itself can be adjusted. Even with the simple emergency toilet of the present invention, the frequency of use varies depending on the environment. Some environments are used by an unspecified number of people, while others are used only by a limited number of close relatives in an ordinary household. Therefore, by selecting what type of mechanization to install from the user's perspective (separating into home use, business use, etc.), manufacturing costs can be adjusted. Furthermore, by selecting between rechargeable and battery-powered power sources in addition to standard power sources, manufacturing costs can also be adjusted.

[0022] As stated in paragraph 0014, the reduction in the size of the waste disposal bag itself and the reduction in the volume of the odorous air itself also reduce the amount of used waste disposal bags themselves, which makes it possible to increase the storage capacity at the primary collection site after the waste disposal bags are removed from the toilet seat stand, and also has the effect of reducing the costs associated with transportation to the final disposal site and final processing.

[Figure 11] AA cross-sectional view of the simple emergency toilet according to the present invention DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0024] The toilet comprises a toilet seat 1, a toilet seat base 2 with a narrow diameter inside the defecation hole on the seat 1, or with a narrow defecation hole in a portion thereof, such as a constriction 8 or inverted constriction around the inside, or a funnel-shaped or inverted funnel-shaped constriction hole, a waste bag 3, and equipment for sealing and cutting the waste bag 3 (hereinafter referred to as sealing equipment 4 and cutting equipment 5). More specifically, as shown in Figure 2, the waste bag 3 and sealing equipment 4 and cutting equipment 5 are installed inside the toilet seat base 2, and a storage container (hereinafter referred to as cartridge 6) that can dispense waste bags 3 in sequence is installed around the toilet seat 1 to enable continuous use. After use, the flapper valve 10 is first opened, and the waste bag 3 itself falls into the waste bag passage hole 9 in the constriction 8. The waste bag 3 itself is then sealed using the sealing equipment 4, cut using the cutting equipment 5, and stored in a waste bag drawer container 7. Furthermore, since the toilet itself may be used by an unspecified number of people, continuous use must be taken into consideration. Therefore, as shown in Figure 6, the waste bag 3 is sealed in two layers, or with a wider top and bottom area, and then cut at a point where no wastewater or odor leaks. The waste bag 3 (a long, cylindrical bag whose bottom is generally open except for the initial tip of the waste bag 3) is rolled up from the open end to the opposite end (in a state of multiple layers of rolls) and stored in the cartridge 6, and the waste bag 3 is pulled out in turn from under the toilet seat 1 each time the toilet is used. The following explanation mainly relates to the configuration of a standard emergency toilet.

[0025] The toilet seat 1 is in close contact with the toilet seat base 2. Although the basic close contact is high, it is desirable that it can be made detachable.

[0026] Regarding the waste bag 3 itself, in order to reduce its size and the inflow of odorous air, it is desirable that the inside of the toilet seat base 2 not be an unnecessarily wide cylindrical shape, but rather have a narrow diameter inside the defecation hole on the toilet seat 1 side, or have a curve 8 or inverted curve around the inside, or have a shape with a narrow defecation hole in part, such as a funnel or inverted funnel. By reducing the unnecessary space, the waste bag 3 itself can be reduced in size, which in turn limits the diffusion and adhesion of droplets of dirt that splatter during use, and ultimately reduces the volume of odorous air.

[0027] The material of the waste bin 3 is preferably a material that is colored to hide the contents, has some stretchability, and is odor-resistant, moisture-resistant, water-resistant, cold-resistant, impact-resistant, and abrasion-resistant, given its intended use. Chemical resistance is also desirable, as coagulants and deodorizers may be added to the contents of used waste bins 3. For example, a polyethylene resin material is preferable, and heat resistance in living environments is also desirable, taking into account the sealing equipment (heat sealing and bundling equipment). The waste bin 3 itself is preferably a long, stretchable cylindrical bag (as shown in Figures 2 to 9, a long cylindrical bag with the base basically open except for the initial tip of the waste bin 3) that is rolled from the open end to the opposite end (with multiple layers of rolling).

[0028] As an addendum to paragraph 0027, because the distance from the user's buttocks to the bottom of the waste receptacle 3 is short, some users may experience droplets of dirt not only on the waste receptacle 3 but also on their buttocks. Therefore, before using the toilet, a foam film layer can be sprayed directly from the outside using a trigger-type (for foam detergent used during cleaning) or pump-type (for hand soap, etc.) spray bottle to help prevent the diffusion and adhesion of droplets of dirt. For this reason, a chemical-resistant material is desirable. Furthermore, the foam film layer itself not only prevents the diffusion and adhesion of droplets of dirt, but also serves as a measure to prevent the noise and odors generated by using the toilet.

[0029] There are several methods for opening waste bag 3 (inside toilet seat stand 2) before using the toilet, besides the general method of pushing it by hand, such as using a special tool to push it, putting a coagulant or deodorant into waste bag 3 beforehand and letting it open by its own weight, installing a new toilet seat cover for toilet seat 1 and blowing air over it, and even installing a small suction machine (with multiple suction ports to suck up waste bag 3 itself) around groove 8 (the gap in the wall of toilet seat stand 2) and using its suction power to open it. When using the hand or tool pushing method, there is a possibility that waste may get stuck to it, and from a hygienic standpoint, it is desirable to mechanize the process as much as possible.

[0030] As for the sealing equipment 4, since it is necessary to completely seal the waste receptacle bag 3 itself, it is desirable to install methods such as a heat seal that seals by generating heat (or equipment that clamps the waste receptacle bag 3 itself with the tip of a heating iron, such as a hair iron), a sonic sealer that seals by ultrasonic vibration, or a binding equipment (back sealer) that wraps cable ties or sealing tape directly around the waste receptacle bag 3 itself to seal it, on the inside of the toilet seat base 2. Since manual sealing work is particularly stressful, it is desirable to mechanize the sealing equipment as much as possible. Incidentally, the cutting equipment 5, described below, can be either manual or mechanized.

[0031] As an addendum to paragraph number 0030, if the waste bag 3 is not sealed properly, not only wastewater but also odorous air will leak out. In the case of heat seals, which mainly seal by generating heat, or sonic sealers, which seal by ultrasonic vibration, high temperature, high temperature, high temperature, and high pressure sealing force of the sealing equipment 4 are required to completely seal the front (insertion part) and end (bottom part of the bag) of the waste bag 3, and at the same time, measures must be taken to prevent wrinkles (gussets) from occurring on the surface of the waste bag 3 as much as possible. As shown in Figures 4 to 6, the sealing device 4 can be simply clamped at the center from the left and right, with the tips of the parallel sealing device 4, or by slightly moving the tips of the sealing device 4 by vibration or the like to reduce wrinkles (gussets) on the surface of the waste receptacle bag 3 before clamping it. Conversely, assuming that wrinkles (gussets) exist, and assuming that the toilet seat base 2 has been viewed from above, there is a method in which the tips of the sealing device 4 are placed above and below as well as clamped at the center from the left and right (multiple sealing from all sides), or a sealing method in which the tips of the sealing device 4 themselves are oval or circular, and the diameter of the circle is reduced while twisting and tying the waste receptacle bag 3 (annular sealing). Therefore, it is a good idea to adopt a method that is appropriate for the situation, such as the usage environment and manufacturing costs.

[0032] For the method of sealing the waste receptacle bag 3 by wrapping cable ties or sealing tape directly around the bag itself, first install a back sealer in the designated position. The rest is similar to paragraph 0031, but the waste receptacle bag 3 is twisted and tied in the direction of sealing, and then a dedicated bar that controls the direction of the tip of the waste receptacle bag 3 is used to gather the tip and bring it to the designated position for the back sealer (in this example, the lower right position is the designated position), which is then used to bind and seal the bag. Another effective method is to use a heat sealer or sonic sealer instead of the back sealer.

[0033] The cutting equipment 5 is also similar to paragraph 0031. In addition to the method of cutting from the left and right at the center, when the toilet seat base 2 is explained as viewed from above, there is also a method of installing only the top and bottom instead of cutting from the center from the left and right (the sealing equipment 4 is installed on the left and right, and the cutting equipment 5 on the top and bottom, so the cutting contact surface is small but the cutting distance is long), a cutting method using a heated metal wire (thermal cutting using heat such as a hot knife), and a method of using the cutting equipment 5 to make perforations rather than cut (this can be done at the same time as the sealing work of the sealing equipment, and manual cutting is also effective). Therefore, it is also a good idea to adopt a method that suits the situation, such as the usage environment and manufacturing costs.

[0034] Regarding the cartridge 6, although this overlaps with paragraph 0027, as shown in Figures 2 to 9, waste bags 3 (long, cylindrical bags whose base is generally open except for the initial tip of the waste bag 3) are typically rolled up from the open end to the opposite end (in a state of being rolled up multiple times) and stored in the cartridge 6, ready to be placed under the toilet seat 1. Each time the toilet is used, waste bags 3 are dispensed in order from under the toilet seat 1. As shown in Figure 4, when the flapper valve 10 is opened, the waste bags 3 fall under their own weight, and new waste bags 3 are dispensed in order from within the cartridge 6. Regarding the amount dispensed, when the toilet seat base 2 is viewed from above, it is desirable that the entire visible area of ​​the waste bag 3 falls into the waste bag passage hole 9 in the waist 8 (to prevent splashes of dirt, which are a source of odor, from remaining in the new waste bag 3 after using the toilet). However, to reduce excessive unwinding, it is desirable to install rollers or stoppers under the toilet seat 1 or inside the cartridge 6. If the actual capacity of the toilet is greater than the waste bag 3, it is effective to loosen the stopper to increase the capacity (unwinding a new waste bag 3) or to use it multiple times (just as the amount of toilet paper used varies depending on the user). In addition to storing it by rolling it from the open end to the opposite end, it is also effective to store it in a folded accordion-like state. The cartridge 6 itself may also double as the toilet seat 1 (as an alternative use).

[0035] The waste bag drawer 7 is installed to serve a similar purpose to current sanitary boxes, and also to facilitate external disposal (similar to a dustpan), as described below. Unlike a regular toilet connected to a sewer pipe, the waste bag 3 must be removed from the toilet seat base 2 after each use. A primary collection area must be set up outside to collect the waste bag 3, but some users may be reluctant to remove the waste bag 3 in its original state, so this is installed as a countermeasure. The shape of the waste bag drawer 7 itself is best designed to minimize exposure to outside eyes and minimize hand contact. Therefore, it is desirable to install the waste bag drawer 7 at the bottom of the toilet seat base 2, so that after the waste bag 3 is cut and dropped, it can be stored in the waste bag drawer 7 and removed from the side of the toilet seat base 2. Furthermore, it is desirable for the waste bag drawer container 7 to have a large storage capacity so that it can be used not only in emergencies but also for other purposes in everyday life (not only as a replacement for a sanitary box, but also as a trash can for food waste, pet feces, etc.) Finally, from the perspective of preventing sewage and odor leakage, it is fine to carry the sealed waste bag 3 (stored in the waste bag drawer container 7) to an external primary collection location, but as a preventative measure, it is also effective to double-seal it in a new bag or the like (by hand sealing or by putting it back into a simple disaster prevention toilet and sealing it).

[0036] As an addendum to paragraph 0035, the waste bag drawer 7 can also be used for other purposes. For details, at the stage shown in paragraph 0017 and Figure 4, if the waste bag drawer 7 moves as indicated by the dotted arrows in Figure 5, the waste bag 3 comes into contact, and then the bottom of the waste bag 3 spreads in all directions, appearing to cause the wastewater level inside the waste bag 3 to rise. In other words, the wastewater spreads, primarily from the center, into the new gaps in the waste bag 3. This loosens the waste bag 3 itself, but waste and wastewater also penetrate into the odorous air space, moistening the inside of the waste bag 3 with the wastewater, making it easier for the waste bag 3 to seal tightly. As a result, the odorous air space itself is reduced, potentially reducing the volume of odorous air itself slightly more than with a normal seal. For other purposes, the waste bag drawer container 7 itself can be used in place of the flapper valve 10. The movement of the waste bag drawer container 7, as indicated by the dotted arrow, can be easily mechanized or manually operated (for example, by using a jack or foot pump to utilize the inflation function of a balloon or the like attached to the underside of the waste bag drawer container 7).

[0037] By installing a constriction 8 etc. inside the toilet seat base 2 and storing the sealing device 4, cutting device 5, and flapper valve 10 in the gap space, the gap space can be used effectively, making it possible to make the portable emergency toilet itself smaller and lighter. The main types of constrictions 8 etc. are shown in Figure 11. In Figure 11, A is the small diameter type, B is the constriction 8 type, C is the inverted constriction type, D is the funnel type, and E is the inverted funnel type.

[0038] The above makes it possible to achieve the problem that the invention aims to solve. By reducing manual labor, mental health stress caused by discomfort is alleviated, and hygiene is also improved or maintained. As a result, the environment becomes closer to normal toilet use, which helps maintain the health of the user. Furthermore, the ability to choose between mechanization reduces manufacturing costs, increases the capacity of waste bags required for final disposal, and reduces processing costs. [Example]

[0039] The following is a description of an example of a typical simple emergency toilet. The process is basically as shown in Figures 2 through 9. The detailed configuration includes a toilet seat 1, a toilet seat base 2 (described here as a base, as shown in Figure 2) with a narrow defecation hole on the inside of the seat, a narrow constriction 8 or inverted constriction around the inside, or a narrow constriction in a funnel or inverted funnel shape, a waste bag 3, and equipment for sealing and cutting the waste bag 3 (hereinafter, the sealing equipment 4 will be described as a heat seal function, and the cutting equipment 5 will be described as a standard horizontal cutting function). As shown in Figure 2, the toilet seat base 2 houses the waste bag 3, the sealing equipment 4, the cutting equipment 5, a waste bag drawer 7, and a flapper valve 10. To enable continuous use, a cartridge 6 for dispensing waste bags 3 is installed around the toilet seat 1. After using the toilet, the flapper valve 10 is first opened, and the waste bag 3 itself falls into the waste bag hole 9 in the constriction 8 (at which time a new waste bag 3 is dispensed from the cartridge 6). The waste bag 3 itself is then sealed using the sealing device 4, cut using the cutting device 5, and stored in the waste bag drawer container 7.

[0040] When a user enters the toilet, the toilet is opened as shown in Figure 2 (in this case, air containing a foam film that also contains deodorizers, etc., is injected into the waste bag 3 to prevent the spread of droplets, and the foam film and air force open the waste bag 3).

[0041] After the user uses the toilet (relieves the waste and cleans up in the same way as with a regular portable toilet) (see Figure 3), the flapper valve 10 is opened as shown in Figure 4, and the waste bag 3 itself falls into the waste bag hole 9 in the waist 8. At that time, a new waste bag 3 is dispensed from the cartridge 6.

[0042] Then, by mechanizing the waste bag drawer 7 and moving it in the direction of the dotted arrows in Figure 5, the bottom of the waste bag 3 comes into contact, and then the bottom of the waste bag 3 spreads in all directions, making it appear as if the water level inside the waste bag 3 rises. The waste water moistens the inside of the waste bag 3, making it easier to seal the waste bag 3. As a result, the waste bag 3 itself loosens, but not only does it prevent waste and wastewater from spreading into the odorous air space, but by making the waste bag 3 easier to seal, the odorous air space itself is reduced, and the volume of the odorous air itself is reduced slightly compared to normal sealing. However, since the amount of waste inside the waste bag 3 varies depending on the user and the location, it is not necessary to follow the procedure described in paragraph 0036.

[0043] Next, as shown in Figure 6, the bag is sealed (thermocompressed) using sealing equipment 4 (in this case, a heat seal with a heat generating function). At this time, the tips of the upper and lower two-stage and left and right crimping machines simultaneously come out from inside the neck 8 into the waste bag passage hole 9 to seal it.

[0044] Once the sealing work is complete, the bag is cut using cutting equipment 5 (in this case, cutting equipment with horizontal cutting capabilities) as shown in Figure 7. At this time, the tips of the left and right blades simultaneously emerge from inside the neck 8 into the waste bag insertion hole 9 to make the cut.

[0045] After cutting, the shape is as shown in Figures 8 and 9, and it is stored in the waste bag drawer container 7. After that, the waste bag drawer container 7 itself is removed from the side of the toilet seat stand 2 and carried to a primary collection location where waste bags 3 are collected.

[0046] When the next user enters the toilet, the same action as in paragraph 0040 is performed. After that, the process is repeated as follows.

[0047] Just as toilet paper needs to be replenished when the toilet is used, the cartridge 6 containing the waste bag 3 is replaced depending on the usage situation. [Industrial Applicability]
