Description

Toilet seat cover and toilet {Toilet Lid Cover and Toilet}

The present invention relates to a toilet seat and a toilet seat mounted on the top of the flush toilet, and more particularly, to a toilet seat cover and toilet seat for supporting the pelvic floor muscles to facilitate the bowel movements of the pelvic descending syndrome patients.

Hereinafter, the prior art will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 is a view illustrating a conventional general toilet seat.

Referring to FIG. 1, a seat-type toilet seat 10 installed in a bathroom, a washroom, or a bathroom includes a toilet seat body 11; A seat 13 mounted on an upper portion of the main body 11 to provide a contact surface comfortably supporting the hip when the user sits down, and coupled to the main body 11 and the hinge 12 to open and close; And the cover 14 is coupled to the main body 11 and the hinge 15 to open and close, and covers the seat 13, similarly to the seat 13.

In more detail, the seat 13 is generally manufactured by injection molding using a synthetic resin material and assembled to the main body 11 by bolts 17 through a bracket 18. The shape of the seat 13 is made of an oval according to the shape of the top of the toilet body 11, the center of the ellipse is to be drilled. That is, the pedestal 13 may be formed in the shape of a horseshoe in which one end of the donut is cut as shown in FIG. 1, and may be formed in the form of a donut that is not cut in one end in some embodiments. Looking at the radial width of the pedestal 13, the length of the center axis direction of the pedestal 13 is not long around 10cm, so the area where the user's hips are in contact with the pedestal 13 is not very large.

And the same rotation axis of the cover 14.

On the other hand, modern people often suffer from constipation due to irregular eating, lifestyle, low fiber and insufficient water intake, diet, old age, lack of exercise, and the like.

Such constipation can be largely divided into organic constipation and functional constipation.

Temperament constipation refers to constipation caused by structural blockages in the colon, such as inflammation of colon cancer or diverticulitis, ischemic colitis, and pancreatitis.

Functional constipation, unlike organic constipation does not have a specific disease, but refers to constipation caused by problems with the bowel function. Functional constipation can be divided into loose constipation, constipation constipation, rectal constipation.

Relaxed constipation is caused by the lack of movement of the large intestine. As the bowel movement weakens, it does not push the sides out and remains in the intestine.

Spastic constipation is a constipation caused by the large intestine convulsions. When the autonomic nervous system of the intestinal motility is abnormally tensioned due to stress, intestinal spasms occur, and the mutation does not pass through a part of the intestine.

Rectal constipation means that the stool is coming down well and suddenly caught in the rectum no longer come down. In normal cases, the anal sphincter relaxes during bowel movements, and the stool comes out. In the case of rectal constipation, the sphincter does not relax or rather becomes more strained.

Rectal type constipation does not relax the tibialis anterior muscles when attempting defecation but rather contracts the paradoxical puborectalis contraction, which causes constipation, mainly in women. Rectocele, which causes constipation due to inability to discharge stools, rectal wall or mucous membranes when excreted, rectoanal intussusception that causes constipation, and pelvic floor muscles normally 3 ~ Pelvic descending syndrome (descending perineal syndrome) that causes constipation by descending to more than 4 cm, or S-stage colonies (sigmoidocele), which cannot be excreted because the S-stage colon, which is a part of the large intestine, descends and presses the rectum. Can be mentioned.

Most of these rectal constipation can be solved by conservative treatment and surgical treatment, but especially in the case of pelvic lowering syndrome, there is no current medical treatment that is required to find a solution.

The present invention devised to solve the above problems is to provide a toilet seat cover and toilet seat for supporting the pelvic floor muscles so that the bowel movements of the pelvic descending syndrome patients can be made smoothly.

The present invention devised in order to achieve the above object is provided with a hole in the inner side, and having a seating surface in contact with the hip of the user; It is formed to protrude from the seating surface and provides a toilet seat cover comprising a pelvic floor muscle support protrusion for supporting the pelvic floor muscles lifting the user's anus.

Preferably, the pelvic muscle support protrusion is formed at a boundary portion between the hole and the seating surface.

In addition, the pelvic muscle support protrusion is characterized in that formed continuously in the left, right and rear of the seat.

In addition, the pelvic muscle support protrusion is characterized in that the user's pelvic bone is formed to be supported by the seating surface of the outer side of the pelvic muscle support protrusion.

In addition, the seating surface has a shape in which the cross section of the seat is recessed in the shape of a hip so that the hole is located at the center of the hip of the user.

In addition, the inside of the seat is characterized in that the filler is inserted.

In addition, it is formed to protrude on the opposite surface of the seating surface is characterized in that it further comprises a fixing projection for contacting the inner wall surface of the toilet seat to support the seat in the horizontal direction.

In addition, the pedestal and the pelvic muscle support protrusion, or the pedestal, the pelvic muscle support protrusion and the fixing protrusion is characterized in that it is integrally molded.

In addition, the present invention and the toilet seat body; Main body; An auxiliary pedestal having a hole formed therein and having a seating surface in contact with the hip of the user; It is formed to protrude from the seating surface and provides a left toilet comprising a pelvic floor muscle support protrusion for supporting the pelvic floor muscles lifting the user's anus.

Preferably, the auxiliary seat can be opened and closed by rotating around the hinge connected to the toilet seat main body.

In addition, the auxiliary seat is characterized in that formed of the same material as the main seat.

The present invention provides a toilet seat cover and toilet seat for supporting the pelvic floor muscles so that bowel movements of the pelvic descending syndrome patient can be smoothly performed.

When using the toilet seat cover and toilet seat according to the present invention when the toilet cover to support the pelvic floor muscles to give a force to see the bowel movements much more comfortable to see the bowel movements can improve the symptoms of patients with pelvic descent syndrome, Weakening of the pelvic nerves caused by stretching the pelvic muscles can also be prevented. It is also effective in preventing dentition that occurs when excessive force is given to the anus.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Like reference numerals in the drawings denote like elements.

Figure 2 is a photograph of the shape of the pelvic floor muscles when the force to see the rest and bowel movements.

In more detail, A of FIG. 2 is a photograph of the shape of the pelvic floor muscles at rest, and B is a photograph of the shape of the pelvic floor muscles when force is applied to the anus to see the bowel movement. In normal people, the pelvic floor muscles drop 3 to 4 cm during defecation, whereas the patients with pelvic lowering syndrome, as shown in B of FIG. 2, fall more in the perineum area than normal people, causing constipation. Therefore, patients with pelvic descent syndrome can perform bowel movements more smoothly by hand pressing around the anus as shown by the arrow direction shown in FIG.

The applicant of the present invention conducted a questionnaire survey of 300 patients who visited Seoul Songdo Hospital in Jung-gu, Seoul for anal disease. The results of the survey conducted by the applicant of the present invention are shown in Table 1 below.

Age group Person Disease name Person 20's 2 Hemo 7 40 spaces One Fissure 4 50 spaces 3 Rectocele 2 60 spaces One Constipation One 70 spaces 2 Pelvic Descent Syndrome (DPS) One 80 spaces 2

Referring to Table 1, 11 of 300 randomly selected respondents showed that they had to push their hands around the anus to see the bowel movement smoothly. In particular, in patients with pelvic descent syndrome, many respondents reported that compression of the anus around the anus caused the contraction or relaxation of the muscles around the anus (pelvic floor, anal sphincter), making it easier to see bowel movements.

In addition, another survey of patients seeking anal medical care at Seoul Songdo Hospital showed that 59 of 139 female patients complained of dysplasia of the pelvic floor muscles. Six 40-59 years old, two younger than 39 years old) checked the item "You have to push the hand around the anal to come out".

Referring to FIG. 3, the toilet seat cover according to the present invention may be mounted and detached at an upper portion of the toilet seat main body 11 (FIG. 4) and the main seat 13 (FIG. 4), and a hole 120 is formed at an inner side thereof. A seat 100 providing a seating surface 110 supporting the hips when the user is seated; It is formed to protrude from the seating surface 110 and includes a pelvic floor muscle support protrusion 130 for supporting the pelvic floor muscles (anortic levator muscles) lifting the user's anus. In addition, the fixing surface 140 is formed to protrude on the opposite surface of the seating surface 110 and contacts the inner wall surface of the conventional main pedestal 13 to support the pedestal 100 in the horizontal direction.

The pelvic muscle support protrusion 130 may be formed in the hole 120 and the boundary portion of the seating surface 110, and is continuously formed on the left, right, and rear sides of the hole 120 of the seat 100. That is, the pelvic muscle support protrusion 130 may not be formed in front of the pedestal 100 as shown in FIG.

In addition, the seating surface 110 has a shape in which the cross section of the seat 100 is recessed in the shape of a hip, as shown in FIG. 4, such that the hole 120 is located at the center of the hip of the user. That is, the seating surface 120 is formed such that the cross section of the seat 100 is inclined toward the center.

The seat 100 may be generally manufactured by injection molding using a synthetic resin material, and the inside of the seat 100 may be empty, or in some embodiments, a filler such as a sponge may be inserted therein to gently support the muscles around the anal muscles. Can be. The material of the seat 100 may be freely selected within a range without departing from the spirit of the present invention according to the choice of those skilled in the art. Furthermore, the pedestal 100, the pelvic muscle support protrusion 130 and the fracture protrusion 140 may be integrally formed, and the pelvic muscle support protrusion 130, which is a portion directly supporting the pelvic muscle, is separate from the pedestal 100. It is also preferable to mold using a soft filler.
