  • the elastic hose is a special one low-cost variant and is in case of need replaceable.
  • the materials used in the Connection lines, especially those connected to the Waste water is connected, preferably have a high Detergent tolerance on.
  • the height adjustment of the toilet bowl respectively of the support element takes place by means of an electrical pneumatic or hydraulic drive.
  • the height difference h 1 -h 0 is preferably 25 to 40 cm.
  • the toilet bowl can also be lowered to the height h 2 , where h 2 is less than h 0 .
  • This embodiment represents a preferred embodiment for children and short people.
  • the lifting device can be activated manually.
  • an actuating element such as by touching, rotating, pressing or pulling a switch or lever, the lifting device is caused to lift the bowl.
  • a preferred embodiment represents an activation of the lifting device by means of a hand switch.
  • the actuating element is a foot switch. After pressing the switch, the toilet bowl is raised to the fixed height h 1 .
  • the lifting process can preferably be ended manually at a desired height. This is particularly advantageous if men of different sizes live in the same household.
  • the Activation of the lifting device automatically by direct or indirect detection of a person in a standing position.
  • the Detection takes place by means of a sensor and one with this related control unit.
  • the sensor recognizes a person standing or standing directly or indirectly and then emits a sensor signal that the control unit receives and then lifting the toilet bowl causes.
  • the direct detection the Capture of the person understood, such as by proximity switches, position sensors or optical Sensors, especially mounted in a suitable place Light barriers.
  • Such sensors offer the advantage that not directly at the toilet, but in the Toilet room can be attached to what cleaning simplified.
  • indirect detection the Understanding of a typical action that Usually an immediate forerunner act of the Urinating while standing.
  • the forerunner act is the raising of the toilet seat. This action can be carried out by a sensor connected to a appropriate location has been detected become. Examples of such sensors are pressure switches, Contacts, toggle switches or magnetic switches for example at the top of the toilet bowl, in Joint of the toilet, at the bottom of the toilet seat or on a contact surface for the toilet seat in vertical position are arranged.
  • the height h 1 can also be set here permanently or variably.
  • one or more light barriers detect the size of the man, which enables a variable automatic height adjustment of the bowl.
  • the control unit of the lifting device after a certain time unit or after actuation of the flush or after lowering the toilet seat, causes the toilet bowl or the support element with the toilet bowl to be lowered again to the original height h 0 .
  • a lock is released so that the bowl or the support element with the toilet bowl slowly sinks down due to gravity.
  • the lifting device is also driven by a motor when lowering.
  • the toilet has toilet seat and a sensor.
  • the raised position of the toilet seat is detected by the sensor, which then emits a sensor signal.
  • a control unit recognizes the signal from the sensor and activates the lifting device so that the bowl is raised to height h 1 .
