Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make a physically handicapped to be able to seat easily on a stool seat by providing a lifting device under the mounting stand of a stool and freely setting the height of the stool. SOLUTION: A stool with a lifting device comprises a stool A, a lifting device B, and a discharge pipe C. When a lift up button 4 or a lift down button 5 of an operating switch 3 on a lifting device B for a stool 2 on a floor surface 1 is pressed, a hydraulic pressure generating machine 7 is operated through an electric lead 6, and a cylinder 8 is telescoped hydraulically so as to lift up and down the mounting table of the stool A in order to position the stool seat 2 at a specified position. Because, when the lifting device B is moved vertically, the exhaust pipe C is telescoped, a buried discharge pipe 13 to which multiple hollow straight pipes 1 and stool A are fixed is connected using a bellows pipe, and the hollow straight pipe 12 is folded about the hinge using the bellows pipe as a joint in lowering and matched to the vertical movement of the stool A by extension in rising. Thus even a person handicapped on the lower body can evacuate easily.
