2. Description of the Related Art
Public lavatories are installed at the beach, a sightseeing resort, or a camping area, which is concurrently crowded with a flood of people for getting away for the summer or enjoying various leisure activities. However, the number of the lavatories is insufficient, thus causing users to feel inconvenience. Particularly, women feel more inconvenience.
Accordingly, in an urgent case, persons defecate or urinate at a lonely place or a place away from the crowds of people, and environmental pollution and unpleasantness are caused thereby.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONTherefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a handy toilet stool, which assists users to conveniently defecate or urinate anywhere outdoors, has a light and slim structure so as to be easily carried and installed, and allows discharged excreta to be easily disposed.
In accordance with the present invention, the above and other objects can be accomplished by the provision of a handy toilet stool, in which a seat plate provided with a through hole is foldably connected to upper ends of legs, rotated by support pins such that they are foldable, the spreading range of which is restricted by links connected, by fixing pieces.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGSThe above and other objects, features and other advantages of the present invention will be more clearly understood from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
Now, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the annexed drawings.
A handy toilet stool in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention includes legs 10 and 10′, which are connected by support pins 11 such that they are foldable, a group of links, which are foldably installed at upper ends of the legs 10 and 10′ by connection pins 21 so as to restrict the spreading range of the legs 10 and 10′, and a seat plate 30, which is foldably connected to the upper ends of the legs 10 and 10′ by a group of fixing pieces 31 and is provided with a through hole 32 formed therethrough so as to pass excreta.
A handle hole 33 is formed through the seat plate 30 at one side of the through hole 32 so that the handy toilet stool can be conveniently carried and handled.
Hereinafter, the function of the above handy toilet stool of the present invention will be described in detail.
The handy toilet stool of the present invention is carried in a vehicle or a knapsack under the condition that the handy toilet stool is completely folded, as shown in
The upper ends of the folded legs 10 and 10′ are pulled forward and backward to be spread out under the condition that the front portion of the seat plate 30 folded to the legs 10 and 10′, as shown in
When the legs 10 and 10′ are unfolded, the links 20 and 20′ are straightly stretched and thus restrict the spreading angle of the legs 10 and 10′. Then, although the load of a user is applied to the handy toilet stool, the legs 10 and 10′ maintain their stability.
As shown in
When the disposal bag (P) is mounted on the handy toilet stool, as described above, the seat plate 30 is pulled down so that the lower surface of the seat plate 30 is supported by the upper ends of the legs 10 and 10′. Here, the lower surface of the seat plate 30 supported by the upper ends of the legs 10 and 10′ presses the disposal bag (P), thus fixing the disposal bag (P).
After the disposal bag (P) is mounted on the handy toilet stool, a user sits down the seat plate 30 and then defecates or urinates. After defecating or urinating, excreta are collected in the disposal bag (P).
When the use of the handy toilet stool is completed, the user lifts up the front portion of the seat plate 30, removes the disposal bag (P) from the handy toilet stool, and then disposes the disposal bag (P). Thereafter, when the user folds the legs 10 and 10′ by pressing the middle portions of the links 20 and 20′, and pulls down the seat plate 30 so as to contact the legs 10 and 10′, as shown in
As apparent from the above description, the present invention provides a handy toilet stool, which is easily carried and conveyed and is simply installed, thus assisting users to conveniently defecate or urinate anywhere outdoors.
Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed for illustrative purposes, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, additions and substitutions are possible, without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as disclosed in the accompanying claims.
