Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This specification discloses technology relating to a toilet body support device. [Background technology]

[0002] Patent Document 1 describes a buttocks rest that is installed at the front end of a Western-style toilet seat. This buttocks rest is attached to the front end of the toilet seat. When a male user sits with the toilet seat between his knees and his buttocks on the buttocks rest, the line connecting the lateral apex of the greater caruncle on the lateral side of the femur and the ventral apex of the lateral condyle of the user's femur is tilted downward at an angle of 10 degrees or more relative to the horizontal. This causes the urination position to be lower and forward compared to when standing, reducing the amount of urine splashing. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-236907 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The buttock rest of Patent Document 1 has the problem that when used in conjunction with a normal Western-style toilet, the buttock rest needs to be attached and detached from the toilet seat, which is inconvenient. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] One embodiment disclosed herein is a toilet body support device attached to a Western-style toilet. This toilet body support device includes a first base located on the floor to the right of the toilet, a second base located on the floor to the right of the toilet, a first support pillar extending upward from the first base, a second support pillar extending upward from the second base, a first knee pad attached to the upper end of the first support pillar to support the right knee of a user squatting over the toilet, and a second knee pad attached to the upper end of the second support pillar to support the left knee of a user squatting over the toilet. This toilet body support device can support both knees of a user urinating in a squatting position, which is lower and forward compared to a standing position. This stabilizes the user's squatting position, thereby reducing urine splashing. Furthermore, with the toilet body support device attached to the Western-style toilet, the user can defecate while sitting on the Western-style toilet in the usual manner. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0006] [Figure 1] FIG. 2 is a right side view showing the toilet body support device. [Figure 2] FIG. 1 is a top view showing a toilet body support device. [Figure 3] FIG. 1 is a front view showing a toilet body support device. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0007] Fig. 1 is a right side view showing the toilet body support apparatus 100. Fig. 2 is a top view showing the toilet body support apparatus 100. Fig. 3 is a front view showing the toilet body support apparatus 100.

[0008] The toilet body support device 100 is a device attached to a Western-style toilet 500. The toilet body support device 100 supports the knees 810 of a male user who urinates in a squatting position. The toilet body support device 100 includes a base plate 110, a first support column 121, a second support column 122, a first knee pad 131, and a second knee pad 132.

[0009] The base plate 110 of the toilet body support device 100 is a plate material that supports each part of the toilet body support device 100. The base plate 110 is provided on the floor surface FL on which the Western-style toilet 500 is placed. The base plate 110 is plate-shaped. The base plate 110 has a first base portion 111, a second base portion 112, and a connecting portion 115. The first base portion 111 is located on the floor surface FL on the right side of the Western-style toilet 500. The second base portion 112 is located on the floor surface FL on the left side of the Western-style toilet 500. The connecting portion 115 connects the first base portion 111 and the second base portion 112.

[0010] The base plate 110 is provided with anti-slip pads 141 and 142. The anti-slip pad 141 prevents the sole 820 of the right foot of a user who is squatting while urinating toward the Western-style toilet 500 from slipping. The anti-slip pad 142 prevents the sole 820 of the left foot of a user who is squatting while urinating toward the Western-style toilet 500 from slipping.

[0011] The first support pillar 121 in the toilet body support device 100 is a portion that extends upward from the first base 111. The first support pillar 121 supports a first knee pad 131. The first support pillar 121 is extendable so that the height of the first knee pad 131 can be adjusted.

[0012] The second support column 122 of the toilet body support device 100 is a section that extends upward from the second base 112. The second support column 122 supports a second knee pad 132. The second support column 122 is extendable so that the height of the second knee pad 132 can be adjusted.

[0013] The first knee pad 131 of the toilet body support device 100 supports the right knee 810 of a user who urinates while squatting facing the Western-style toilet 500. The first knee pad 131 is provided at the upper end of the first support column 121. The first knee pad 131 forms a convex arc facing downward and rearward of the Western-style toilet 500.

[0014] The second knee pad 132 of the toilet body support device 100 supports the left knee 810 of a user who urinates while squatting in front of the Western-style toilet 500. The second knee pad 132 is provided at the upper end of the second support column 122. The second knee pad 132 forms a convex arc facing downward and rearward of the Western-style toilet 500.

[0015] The toilet body support device 100 described above can support both knees 810 of a user who urinates in a squatting position, where the urination position is lower and forward compared to a standing position. This stabilizes the user's squatting position, thereby reducing the risk of urine splashing. Furthermore, with the toilet body support device 100 attached to the Western-style toilet 500, the user can defecate while sitting on the Western-style toilet in the usual way.

[0016] The technology disclosed in this specification is not limited to the above-described embodiments, examples, and modifications, and can be realized in various configurations without departing from the spirit thereof. For example, among the technical features of the above-described embodiments, examples, and modifications, those corresponding to the technical features of each form described in the Summary of the Invention column can be appropriately replaced and combined to solve some or all of the above-described problems or achieve some or all of the above-described effects. Furthermore, technical features not described as essential in this specification can be appropriately deleted. [Explanation of symbols]
