Abstract
According to the invention a toilet comprising a seat area (1) and bowl is designed in such a way that the seat area (1) has an extension (5) which makes it possible to sit on said extension (5) facing towards the bowl. In this way, especially male users of the toilet are able to sit on the extension (5) during urination. This prevents unnecessary dirtying of the toilet.
Description
TOILET WITH A SEAT AREA AND BOWL
This invention refers to toilets with a seat and pan.
Th~re are many types of toilet design depending on the cultural region in question.
The following invention refers to a toilet with a seat upon which the user can sit, end also a toilet pare or similar structure to~ collect the feces. This is the most common type of toilet used in Europe and Is well-known.
However, .it also well-known that these toilets, especially In private households, are also used to urinate In. Since most'men urinate standing up, It is elmast impossible 2 o to keep the area around the toilet, and In particular the toilet seat, free from urine splashes.
The purpose of this invention is therofor~e to improve the form of the common toilet so that a man may urinate without soiling the seat or the surrounding apes.
This has been achieved by extending the seat which enables the user to sit facing the toilet pan.
This toilet seat extension makes it possible for men to Bit down facing the toilet pan 3 U ~~e- wtth the toilet seat in-between their legs.
This very simple afteratlon to the common toilet seat enables men to urinate into the toilet pen without having to pull th~ir trousers right down. llVhen a men sits on this extension piece the distance to the toilet pen is reduced Increasing the accuracy of his aim. This also reduces the amount of urine which splashes around the toilet pan.
Thus this invention is the answer to an age-old problem, which housewives and cleaning staff In particular aro aware of.
The WC seat also has a llarther use: it makes an ideal child's toilet seat.
The extension piece can either be used as a child's se~t or as a handle when sitting In ._,,, the normal position on the toilet. Precisely this use as a handle makes.the toilet seat ideal for disabled people, since it provides additional security when sitting on the toilet.
The possibility of sitting beck-to-front on the toilet facing the pan also makes it easier for wheelchair users to get onto tile toilet seat and, especially, sliding back into their chair.
Initial tests have shown that sitting back-to-front on the toilet makes it easier to fully .
empty the bladder end provides good back positioning which has particular phyatologicgl benefrts.
It Is advantagooua if this extension puece is integrated with the toilet seat Toilet assts are well-known and common. They arse made from a material which la less able to conduct heat than the toilet pan itself makin8 the seat area more comfortable.
If the extension piece forms part of the toilet east it offers the same comfort as the seat itself and is especially simple to manufacture: The new structure of the toilet seat means that converrttonel toilets can be easily end economically retrofitted.
The extension piece can alternatively form part of the top edge of a toilet pan.. This has the advantage that the extension piece then hag a higher load-bearing capacity . _ and there are many possible ways In which this extension piece can be formed.
For example, it could be made in the form of a Ilon head, whereby a man can sit on top facing the toilet pan.
It is also beneficial if the extension piece slants slightly upwards away from the toilet pan. This angle, offers a partk:ulariy good sitting position on the extension piece and makes it easier to hold onto the extension place when sitting on the toilet in the conventional manner.
A padded extension piece offers particular comfort. Such padding can be made from an easy to clean materiel making it hygienic.
When attaching the extension piece to the tallet it Gs particularly advantageous if (t is hinged. The extension piece can be folded away to make it possible to sit on the toilet in the conventional wwy. The extension piece can be easily brought out to show men to urinate whilst sitting down. However, it must b~ emphasized that an extension piece which cannot be folded away also enables men to sit down on the toilet In the usual fashion. For this reason the extension piece has been made wide enough so that it does not cause problems when sitting on the toilet in the normal way: it is positioned between the user's legs.
The diagram shows two possible ways in which this inventian can be fom~ad and these are described below in moro detail:
Figure 1 shows a bird's eye view of a conv~ntionsl toilet whereby the extension piece forms part of the toilet asst;
Figure 2 shows a bird's eye view of a~n altematlve design, whereby tho extension piece Is integrated fomns part of the upper edge of the toilet pan;

The diagram shows two possible ways in which this inventian can be fom~ad and these are described below in moro detail:
Figure 1 shows a bird's eye view of a conv~ntionsl toilet whereby the extension piece forms part of the toilet asst;
Figure 2 shows a bird's eye view of a~n altematlve design, whereby tho extension piece Is integrated fomns part of the upper edge of the toilet pan;
Figure 3 show a bird's eye view of another design with an egg-shaped toilet seat; end Figure 4 shows the side view of the toilet seat illustrated in Figure 3.
With toilet.l shown in Figure 1 the toilet pen 3 Ie under the seat area 2.
In this example the east an9a 2 is a ring-shaped toilet seat which can ba placed on the upper edge of the toilet pen. Toilet seat 2 is connected to toilet pen 3 by means of hinge 4, which makes It possible to put up the toilet seat Fxtensian piece 5 is posttloned on toilet seat 2 opposite hinge 4 and forms pert of the ring-shaped toilet seat 2. This extension place projects out from toilet pen 3 and Is large enough to serve as a seat. This seat is ler~ge enough for a man to sit on extension plec~ 5 facing hinge 4 with toilet pan 3 between his legs. On the other hand, the extension piece 5 is smell enough so not to cause problems when the user sits on the toilet seat in the conventional manner with his back to hinge 4. .
Fgure 2 shows an attematlve version of this invention. Toilet seat 2' is likewise "'J positioned on top of the upper edge of toilet pan 3'. However, toilet seat 2' Is of a canv~entional design and the extension piece 5' forms part of the toilet pan itsetf. The toilet seat 2' is connected to toilet pan 3' by means of a hinge 4'. The extension piece 5' is attached to the toilet pan on the opposite side to the hinge. Extension piece 5' enlarges the upper edge of toilet pan 3' end it is possible to sit on the extension piece with the toilet seat between the uses legs, In this example the extension 5' of toilet pan 3' has a padding 6' which provides more comfort when sitting on the extension piece.
When using the toil~ts fltted with this invention the man In particular has to sit on = .
extension piece 5 or 5' with one leg either side of the toilet pan 3 or 3'.
lMtllst the toilet seat shown in Figure 1 has to be unfolded to be able to use the extension place as a seat, the toilet seat shown in Figure 2 cyan either be unfolded or left up.
To make the retrofitted toilets particularly comfortable to use, the edges of the seat (7, 8 or T, 8') have a concave form either side of the extension piece. When extension place 5 is not bein~ used es a seat it can be folded down by means of hinge 9.
The toilet Illustrated In Figure 3 shows toilet seat area 2' with an egg-shaped toilet seat. This egg shape is not only attractive, but also extremely robust. This design also proves that a small extension piece 5' 1s sufRcient to serve the purpose intended by this invention.
In Figure 4 the extension piece 5' is at a slight angle to the toilet pan.
There is an angle of about 150 to 160° between the level toil~t seat arse and the extension piece 5".
