Walker Frame Urinal Stand with Stabilization Rails
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current urinal stand devices fail to provide adequate stabilization for individuals with disabilities, leading to accidents and frustration while using urinals or toilets, as they lack sufficient stability and balance support.
Innovation Solution
A urinal stand device with a walker-like structure featuring adjustable vertical legs, stabilization rails, gripping handles, and a safety plate, designed to allow users to approach and use urinals or toilets confidently, reducing the risk of accidents and providing a stable platform for urination.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If current walkers and stabilizing systems are used, then users can walk with support, but they do not provide adequate stabilization when standing at a urinal or toilet
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into distinct functional components: a walker frame for support, stabilization rails for balance, gripping handles for control, and a safety plate for additional stability. Each segment addresses a specific stabilization need, allowing users to independently use the urinal without requiring full assistance.
Solution Approach 2:
The device combines multiple functions into a single system that works for both walking and standing at urinals/toilets. The walker frame provides walking support while the stabilization rails and safety plate provide standing stability, making the device universally applicable to both mobility needs.
2Ease of operation
If users stand without adequate stabilization, then they can approach the urinal, but urine can be accidentally sprayed on the urinal, walls, and floor
Solution Approach 1:
The stabilization rails and safety plate provide preemptive balance support before the user needs to urinate. By establishing stability beforehand through the lower stabilization rails that secure the front and rear vertical legs, the device prevents shaking episodes that would cause urine splashing.
3Stability of the object's composition
If a stable walker is provided for standing at the urinal, then users can stand confidently, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The device merges the walker frame with stabilization rails and a safety plate into a single integrated structure. The lower stabilization rails secure the front and rear vertical legs together, combining walking support and standing stability in one device rather than requiring separate systems.

AI summary
The urinal stand device is a specialized standing support platform to assist a disabled person to urinate without incident. The urinal stand device comprises a walker frame configured in a walker like structure, a pair of gripping handles, lower stabilization rails, and a safety plate.When the user needs to use the bathroom, they can walk with the urinal stand device directly over the urinal or toilet due to its open front design. The open front will allow the user to get as close to the urinal or toilet as needed to avoid messes. Thus, the urinal stand device is a multiple functioning stability platform to assist with mess-free and accident-free urination for men and boys with disabilities.
