It is possible to cover and hide the user's body or the stool posture.

[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view schematically showing the entire simple toilet according to the present invention in an assembled state. In the figure, T indicates the assembled toilet body, and M indicates the toilet user cover for covering / hiding the toilet user's body. Further, 1 is a frame, 2 is a bag, 3 is a fixing member, and 4 is a reinforcing member.

The frame 1 has front and rear walls 12, 12 facing each other.
And the left and right side walls 11, 11 that are opposed to each other are integrally formed in a rectangular shape to form a vertically open frame. The front and rear walls 12, 12 are each provided with a vertical folding curve 1a at substantially the center thereof, and as shown in FIG. 9, both the left and right side walls 11, 11 are pushed inward about the folding curve 1a, Front wall 12 and rear wall 12
Is folded inward of the frame body 1 so that the entire frame body can be folded into a single plate. Therefore, normally, when the toilet is not used, the frame body 1 is in a folded state as shown in FIG. 9 for the convenience of carrying.

From the viewpoint of portability, the frame body 1 is preferably made of a lightweight and high-strength material.
Lucite materials are suitable. Since one piece of this step ball sheet material is bent into a substantially rectangular tubular shape as shown in the figure and the weight is directly applied to the frame body 1 in the longitudinal direction, compression in the longitudinal direction is performed. A double-sided double-sided ball sheet material having a strength of about 100 kg or more is used. This makes it possible to reduce the weight and strength of the frame body 1 at low cost.

The bag body 2 is formed of a vinyl material such as polyethylene, and as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the entire peripheral portion except the opening 0 is hermetically sealed. That is, both the upper and lower end portions 2A-1 and 2B-1 as well as the both end portions of FIG.
As you can see, it is a continuous integrated product.

The upper part of the bag body 2 forms a covering portion 2A for covering and concealing the body of the toilet user, and
The lower part is formed so as to form a human waste receiving portion 2B attached to the inside of the frame 1. Furthermore, a separating line 1 is formed in a dotted line between the covering portion 2A and the human waste receiving portion 2B in the width direction of the bag body 2 to facilitate the separation of both portions 2A, 2B. Therefore, at the time of assembling this toilet, as shown by the broken line in FIG. 6, the human waste receiving portion 2B is separated from the covering portion 2A along the separating line l, and the lower end portion 2B-1 is set to the bottom as described later. It is used for assembling the toilet body T by mounting it inside the frame 1. On the other hand, the covering portion 2A separated from the human waste receiving portion 2B constitutes a toilet user covering body M for covering / hiding the body of the toilet user. In the figure, l1 indicates a cut portion formed at one end of the bag body 2 in accordance with the position of the separation line l, and the user uses both hands from the cut portion l1 to the human waste receiving portion 2B of the bag body 2 and the covering portion. 2A can be easily separated.

In this way, by using the bag body 2 whose entire peripheral edge excluding the opening 0 is sealed and divided into two parts above and below the bag part 2 to form the covering part 2A and the human waste receiving part 2B, respectively. Open them at the bottom edge 2 when they are separated
A bag-shaped covering portion 2A having C'for covering the user from above, and a bag-like human waste receiving portion 2B having an open end 2C at the upper end and suitable for receiving human waste of the user, You can immediately split on the spot. Therefore, not only the man-hours and cost for manufacturing the bag can be minimized, but also the portability of the toilet and the quickness of assembly can be greatly contributed.

Opening 0 in the cover 2A of the bag 2
Is for passing the head of a toilet user, and has a relatively small curved portion 02 on the back side and a large curved portion 0 on the front side.
1 is formed. By doing so, when using the toilet, the user can see the movement of his / her body and limbs in the covering portion 2A formed by the covering body M through the curved portion 01 having a large curvature while visually confirming his / her eyes. It is possible to make the stool free without worrying about it.

FIG. 8 shows a bag body 21 of another mode in which the human waste receiving part is different from the bag body 2 of the above-mentioned embodiment. Similar to the bag body 2, the bag body 21 is formed with a covering portion 21A having an opening 0'at its upper end portion 21A-1.
The human waste receiving portion 21B having a width smaller than the width A is formed. This is intended to make the width of the human waste receiving portion 21B substantially equal to the length of the side wall 11 of the frame body 1 and to mount it in the frame body 1 while spreading it up to the four corners.

Similar to the bag body 2 of the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the bag body 21 is a bag-like product made of vinyl with the entire peripheral edge except the opening 0'closed, but a narrow human waste. By cutting off the portions corresponding to the two corners below the bag body 21 to form the receiving portion 21B, the human waste receiving portion 21B is obtained. At this time, both ends of the human waste receiving portion 21B are in an open state, so that they are sealed by an appropriate welding process. However, the pair of notches 21A-2 and 21A-2 formed in the upper covering portion 21A in this step are left open. In addition, a separating line 1'is formed in a dot shape along the straight line between the notches 21A-2 and 21A-2 between the covering portion 21A and the human waste receiving portion 21B. Thus, the human waste receiving portion 21B can be easily separated from the covering portion 21A along the parting line 1 '. The covering portion 21A and the raw sewage receiving portion 21B, which are both separated parts, are a covering portion 21A whose lower end side is open and a raw sewage receiving portion 21B whose upper end side is open.
It is divided into and becomes a component of this toilet.

The bag body 2 is not limited to the embodiment described above, and the covering portion and the human waste receiving portion may be independent from the beginning to serve as a component of the present invention.

The fixing members 3 and 3 are formed by aligning a pair of square rod-shaped semi-hard elastic members each having a U-shaped cross section. As can be seen from FIGS. 4 and 10, each of the fixing members 3 and 3 is formed by integrally forming a pair of opposed leg portions 3b and 3b and a thick valve seat portion 3a located between them, and fitting them inside. The groove 31 is provided in the longitudinal direction. The entire length of the fixing member 3 is substantially equal to the length of the side wall 11 of the frame body 1, and the width of the fitting groove 31 is equal to or slightly narrower than the wall thickness of the side wall 11 of the frame body 1. With such a structure, as described below, the human waste receiving portion 2 of the bag body inserted and attached in the frame body 1 is attached.
Side wall 1 of the frame 1 facing the folded-back portions of B and 21B
1 and 11 are respectively placed on the upper ends 11u and 11u, and the fitting concave groove 31 of the fixing member 3 is fitted thereon, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, as shown in FIGS. 21B
Is fixed to the frame body 1, and the strength effect of preventing the frame body 1 from being deformed by loads in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction is brought about.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, each fixing member 3,
Since the valve seat portion 3a on the upper surface side of 3 has a thick wall and is provided with sufficient cushioning property, the hip portion of the user who sits across the toilet is supported from the left and right sides. Therefore, the user can use the restroom with peace of mind without feeling an uncomfortable pressing feeling on the hips. For this purpose, the fixing member 3 is preferably made of a high density hard synthetic resin material, for example, a high density polyurethane hard foam.

5A and 5B show the reinforcing member 4. In the illustrated embodiment, four reinforcing members 4 are prepared, and as shown in FIGS. 1 and 10, they are fitted to the four corners below the frame body 1,
The frame 1 is held in the opened shape (see FIG. 10) from the folded state to reinforce the frame 1 so as to prevent the frame 1 from being deformed by loads from front, rear, left and right. That is, as shown in FIG. 5A, each reinforcing member 4 is formed in a substantially L shape, and is provided between a relatively thin outer wall 41, a thick inner wall 43, and those walls. The fitting groove 42 is integrally formed in a substantially L shape. The fitting groove 42 is preferably slightly narrower than the wall thickness of the frame body 1, and as will be described later, the side wall 1 of the frame body 1 is
The lower end of a corner portion formed by bending 1 and the front wall or the rear wall 12 is fitted.

Like the fixing member 3, the reinforcing member 4 is preferably formed of a square bar-shaped semi-hard elastic material, for example, a high-density polyurethane hard foam, which is the same material as the fixing member 3. It can be shared and the production cost can be greatly reduced. For example, at the stage of forming, as shown in FIG. 5B, a V-shaped notch C having an angle θ such that the main body is bent approximately 90 degrees into a square rod-shaped material having a fitting groove similar to that of the fixing member 3. Is preferably formed with the thin wall thickness NC left on the outer wall 41. Then, by bending the body of the material corresponding to the angle θ of the V-shaped notch C to approximately 90 degrees, a substantially L-shaped reinforcing member 4 is obtained. In this case, one of the legs 3a and 3b of the fixing member 3 is thick, but this does not hinder the function of the toilet.

The method of assembling and using the simple toilet having the above structure will be described. As shown in FIG. 10, first, as shown in FIG. 9, the frame 1 is deformed from a folded state when not in use to a rectangular parallelepiped use shape which is expanded. Then 4
The individual reinforcing members 4 are fixed by fitting the substantially L-shaped fitting concave grooves 42 into the four corners (four corner portions) below the frame body 1, respectively. At this time, since the reinforcing members 4 are elastically tightly fitted to the four lower corners of the frame body 1, the used shape of the frame body 1 is reliably held, and the distortion and deformation of the shape are prevented. Then, the bags 2 and 21 are prepared, and the human waste receiving portions 2B and 21B and the covering portions 2A and 21A are separated along the separating lines 1 and 11. Of these, the human waste receiving portions 2B and 21B are spread from the upper end 2C corresponding to the parting line thereof to form a bag shape with an upper opening, and the lower end portions 2B-1 and 21B corresponding to the lower ends.
-1 is first put in the frame body 1, and the lower end portions 11l, 1 of the frame body 1,
Insert down to 2 liters. All the upper end portions 2C of the human waste receiving portions 2B, 21B that are not inserted into the frame body 1 are folded back outward from the upper end portions 11u, 12u of the frame body 1 and outside the front and rear walls 12 and the left and right side walls 11 of the frame body 1. Turn it over to the front side (see Fig. 1). Human waste part 2
At the folded back portions of B and 21B, the two fixing members 3 and 3 are fitted to the upper end 11u of each side wall of the frame body 1. The fitting groove 31 of the fixing member 3 is fitted into the upper end 11u of the side wall 11 of the frame 1 and the portions of the human waste receiving portions 2B and 21B folded back therein, and the human waste receiving portions 2B and 21B are inserted into the frame 1. The upper part of the frame body 1 is maintained in shape by the fixing member 3 without fail.

As described above, the toilet body T of the present invention is completed. On the other hand, the separate covering portions 2A and 21A separated from the human waste receiving portions 2B and 21B are expanded from the lower end corresponding to the separation line l to inflate the inside, and as shown in FIG. Let it form.

After the toilet main body T and the toilet user covering M are completed in this way, the toilet user puts the covering M on his / her head from the opening side of the lower end 2C 'thereof, as shown in FIG. The portion is passed through the opening 0 to expose only the head to the outside of the covering M, and the covering M covers and conceals the entire body. In such a state, the pants and underwear are taken off, the toilet body T is straddled, and one's hips are seated on the valve seat portion 3a formed on the upper surface of the fixing member 3. At this time, when urinating, the water absorbing agent is put into the human waste receiving parts 2B and 21B to urinate, and the urine is solidified. Further, in the case of stool, if the water absorbing agent is put into the human waste receiving parts 2B and 21B after the stool, the stool will harden. Therefore, the user can safely process the stool without being seen by others.

[0026]

According to the present invention, since the foldable frame body is reinforced by holding the foldable frame body in the use shape by the reinforcing member and fixing a part of the bag body as the human waste receiving portion in the frame body by the fixing member, the structure is simple. Moreover, it is easy to assemble and can be carried anywhere for quick disposal of urine.

Since the bag body can form not only the human waste receiving portion but also the covering portion for covering / concealing the body of the toilet user,
It is possible to easily separate the human waste receiving part and the covering part from one bag, and play the role of the toilet body and the covering of the toilet user at the same time. Therefore, it is possible to cover up the body in the toilet posture very easily without requiring any special covering means, and it is possible to perform a comfortable toilet action without worrying about the eyes.

Since the covering portion has a size sufficient to contact the ground and the floor while the toilet user is sitting on the toilet body, it is possible to prevent the unpleasant odor of human waste from being emitted during the toilet.
By adding a water absorbing agent that solidifies the human waste that has a deodorizing effect to the human waste receiving part, it is possible to prevent the emission of offensive odors to the surroundings.
No trouble for others.

The fixing member for fixing the human waste receiving portion of the bag body to the frame body is made of a semi-hard elastic material, and has a fitting concave groove to be fitted in the upper end portion of the frame body and a thick toilet seat portion in the upper surface portion. As a result, the function of fixing the human waste receiving part of the bag to the frame and the function of the cushion-rich toilet seat that comfortably supports the bottom of the toilet user are combined at the same time in one fixing member. Greatly contributes to the reduction of the number of.

Since the human waste receiving portion and the covering portion made of the same material are formed from one bag, and the fixing member can be made of the same material of the same type together with the reinforcing member, the material can be used in common and the bottom cost can be reduced. Mass production is possible.
