Description

TITLE: STOOL COVER OF THE EASING NATURAL

SUPPORT EQUIPPED

Technical Field

[1] This concept is pertaining to toilet cover equipped with supplementary

relieving section.

Background Art

[2] This concept is pertaining to toilet cover equipped with supplementary

relieving section. To describe in more detail, it is a toilet cover with

supplementary relieving section made into the toilet cover for the ease of

process of relieving oneself.

[3] On the existing toilets, as shown in (a) section of Picture 1 , the sitting section

(11) on the body (10) is in circular shape and when viewed from the side, it is in

horizontal condition. But on the body (10) of above toilet, in the inner section of

the sitting section (11) there is a urine drop section (12) in bowl like shape and

is composed with flushing passage (13) that flushes out the urine and flushing

water.

[4] And in the upper rear section of the toilet body (10), water tank (20) is

installed. In addition, on the sitting section (11), the circular design toilet cover

(30) and lid (40) was designed to rotate on the hinge section so that the user does not have to come in direct contact with the sitting section (11).

[5] As shown above, the existing toilets are designed so that the user needs to

sit like a chair on the seat (11) of the toilet body (10) and it may provide comfort

but since the sitting section (11) on the body (10) is set in horizontal way, most

of the users will be in posture where the hip and the thigh is laid in horizontal

position and the back straight. But such posture where from the hip, the thigh

and back create right angle, the body is structured that in such posture, the

anus does not open up fully and may result in unsatisfactory experience in

relieving one self. In addition, since the sitting section (11) on the body (10)

[6] is structured in horizontal configuration, the user must be in position where

the hip area and thigh is in horizontal line and for users with constipation or has

hard feces, they may not be able to relieve themselves easily.

[7] To facilitate the relieving process, improvements on aforementioned toilet

features were made and like shown in (b) section of Picture 1 , the sitting section

(10) was adjusted so that the hip is lowered and knee section is higher. With

such design, when the user sits on the toilet, the muscles surrounding the anus

in the hip area naturally flexes back and forth and shows improved concept.

However, even in such design shown in (b) section of Picture 1 , it only took in

consideration of the back and forth movement of the surrounding muscles of the

anus and it lacks the function of the most helpful motion while relieving oneself, which is side to side. Furthermore, incase of aforementioned toilet, user cannot

just change the cover and attach to existing toilet but must switch the entire

toilet unit.

Disclosure of Invention

Technical Problem

[9] This concept, in order to resolve technical problems as aforementioned, it is

designed so that when the user sits on the toilet, the upper rest part of the

cushion section stimulates the anus and facilitates the process of relieving

oneself. In design detail, lower section with passage for urine is designed into

the toilet cover and has the cushion section which is fastened with lower plate

and supporting section with spring. The objective is to provide a structure where

the cushion section can be inserted into the urine passage on the lower support

section.

[10]

Advantageous Effects

[11] When the user sits on the toilet with toilet cover (2) equipped with

aforementioned concept, the upper support section (7) of the cushion section

(4) is positioned near the surrounding area of the anus and if the user slightly

moves his/her hip up and down, the upper support (7) pressured with spring (6) rises and stimulates the anus, resulting effect of easier means of relieving

oneself. Furthermore, with this design, if the cushion section (4) is damaged

during usage, only the cushion section (4) can be changed without the

necessity of replacing the entire toilet cover (2), making the maintenance easy

and affordable. And also, by just replacing the toilet cover (2) on the existing

toilet, it can be used on any existing toilet unit.

[27] Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[28] This concept is in regards to toilet cover with supplementary relieving

section and shall explain with reference to attached design layout.

[29] The picture 2 is the layout of this concept toilet seat, (a) is disassembling

layout and (b) is assembling layout. Picture 3 (a) is unseated (normal) condition

layout and (b) is seated condition layout, Picture 4 is the surface layout of lower

support section of the concept toilet cover, and Picture 5 is the detailed layout of

cushion section of the concept toilet cover.

[30] As shown in Picture 2, the concept toilet cover with supplementary relieving

section is equipped with U shaped urine passage (10) on the lower support

section (3) of the toilet cover (2). In addition, for ease of flushing of waste and

urine, there are number of plumbing (8)

[31] installed in the lower support section (3)

[32] On the upper portion of the upper support section (3), cushion section (4) is

made so that it can be inserted into the urine passage (10). The lower plate (5)

and the upper support section (7) of the cushion section (4) is connected and

fixed with spring (6) and in the lower plate (5) the plumbing (8) [33] is installed at the exact location as the plumbing (8) installed in the lower

support section (3).

[34] As shown in Picture 3, the lower plate (5) of the cushion section (4) inserted

into the urine passage (10) of lower support section (3), is aligned with the

attachment section (9) on the floor part of the lower support section (3).

[35] When a user sits on the toilet cover of a toilet equipped with supplementary

relieving section as aforementioned, as shown in Picture 3 (b), the upper

support section (7) of the cushion section (4) drops lower than the cover (2),

causing the spring to pressurized. And the surrounding area of the user's anus

[36] becomes situated on the upper support section (7). In addition, when the

user cannot satisfactorily relieve him/herself, the user only needs to move

his/her hip up and down slightly and the upper support section (7) pressurized

with spring (6) stimulates the anus area and facilitate the process of relieving

oneself.

[37] The Picture 4 is the surface layout of lower support section (3) of the toilet

cover (2) and Picture 5 is the detailed layout of the cushion section (4).

[38] In above design, by attaching the lower support section (3) to the cushion

section (4) with the attachment section (9) and making it aligned, it is a design

where the portion of upper support section (7) gets inserted into the urine

passage (10) of the lower support section (3). This design resolved the problem of the urine passage (10) being in the way of the upper support section (7)

when raising the seat up and down.

[39] In addition, the spring (6) which provides cushion feature is applied only as

an example and the actual cushion feature is always applicable.

[40] Furthermore, if the cushion section (4) is damaged during usage, separate

the cushion section (4) by loosening the bolts in the attachment section (9)

located in the lower portion of the lower support section (3) and just replace the

cushion section (4). This makes maintenance and repair very simple and by

changing just the toilet cover (2) on the existing toilet with the concept model, it

can be used without the necessity of changing the entire toilet unit.
