SUPPORT EQUIPPED
Technical Field
[1] This concept is pertaining to toilet cover equipped with supplementary
relieving section.
Background Art
[2] This concept is pertaining to toilet cover equipped with supplementary
relieving section. To describe in more detail, it is a toilet cover with
supplementary relieving section made into the toilet cover for the ease of
process of relieving oneself.
[3] On the existing toilets, as shown in (a) section of Picture 1 , the sitting section
(11) on the body (10) is in circular shape and when viewed from the side, it is in
horizontal condition. But on the body (10) of above toilet, in the inner section of
the sitting section (11) there is a urine drop section (12) in bowl like shape and
is composed with flushing passage (13) that flushes out the urine and flushing
water.
[4] And in the upper rear section of the toilet body (10), water tank (20) is
installed. In addition, on the sitting section (11), the circular design toilet cover
(30) and lid (40) was designed to rotate on the hinge section so that the user
does not have to come in direct contact with the sitting section (11).
[5] As shown above, the existing toilets are designed so that the user needs to
sit like a chair on the seat (11) of the toilet body (10) and it may provide comfort
but since the sitting section (11) on the body (10) is set in horizontal way, most
of the users will be in posture where the hip and the thigh is laid in horizontal
position and the back straight. But such posture where from the hip, the thigh
and back create right angle, the body is structured that in such posture, the
anus does not open up fully and may result in unsatisfactory experience in
relieving one self. In addition, since the sitting section (11) on the body (10)
[6] is structured in horizontal configuration, the user must be in position where
the hip area and thigh is in horizontal line and for users with constipation or has
hard feces, they may not be able to relieve themselves easily.
[7] To facilitate the relieving process, improvements on aforementioned toilet
features were made and like shown in (b) section of Picture 1 , the sitting section
(10) was adjusted so that the hip is lowered and knee section is higher. With
such design, when the user sits on the toilet, the muscles surrounding the anus
in the hip area naturally flexes back and forth and shows improved concept.
However, even in such design shown in (b) section of Picture 1 , it only took in
consideration of the back and forth movement of the surrounding muscles of the
anus and it lacks the function of the most helpful motion while relieving oneself,
which is side to side. Furthermore, incase of aforementioned toilet, user cannot
just change the cover and attach to existing toilet but must switch the entire
toilet unit.

Disclosure of Invention
Technical Problem
[9] This concept, in order to resolve technical problems as aforementioned, it is
designed so that when the user sits on the toilet, the upper rest part of the
cushion section stimulates the anus and facilitates the process of relieving
oneself. In design detail, lower section with passage for urine is designed into
the toilet cover and has the cushion section which is fastened with lower plate
and supporting section with spring. The objective is to provide a structure where
the cushion section can be inserted into the urine passage on the lower support
section.
[10]
Advantageous Effects
[11] When the user sits on the toilet with toilet cover (2) equipped with
aforementioned concept, the upper support section (7) of the cushion section
(4) is positioned near the surrounding area of the anus and if the user slightly
moves his/her hip up and down, the upper support (7) pressured with spring (6)
rises and stimulates the anus, resulting effect of easier means of relieving
oneself. Furthermore, with this design, if the cushion section (4) is damaged
during usage, only the cushion section (4) can be changed without the
necessity of replacing the entire toilet cover (2), making the maintenance easy
and affordable. And also, by just replacing the toilet cover (2) on the existing
toilet, it can be used on any existing toilet unit.

[27] Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
[28] This concept is in regards to toilet cover with supplementary relieving
section and shall explain with reference to attached design layout.
[29] The picture 2 is the layout of this concept toilet seat, (a) is disassembling
layout and (b) is assembling layout. Picture 3 (a) is unseated (normal) condition
layout and (b) is seated condition layout, Picture 4 is the surface layout of lower
support section of the concept toilet cover, and Picture 5 is the detailed layout of
cushion section of the concept toilet cover.
[30] As shown in Picture 2, the concept toilet cover with supplementary relieving
section is equipped with U shaped urine passage (10) on the lower support
section (3) of the toilet cover (2). In addition, for ease of flushing of waste and
urine, there are number of plumbing (8)
[31] installed in the lower support section (3)
[32] On the upper portion of the upper support section (3), cushion section (4) is
made so that it can be inserted into the urine passage (10). The lower plate (5)
and the upper support section (7) of the cushion section (4) is connected and
fixed with spring (6) and in the lower plate (5) the plumbing (8)
[33] is installed at the exact location as the plumbing (8) installed in the lower
support section (3).
[34] As shown in Picture 3, the lower plate (5) of the cushion section (4) inserted
into the urine passage (10) of lower support section (3), is aligned with the
attachment section (9) on the floor part of the lower support section (3).
[35] When a user sits on the toilet cover of a toilet equipped with supplementary
relieving section as aforementioned, as shown in Picture 3 (b), the upper
support section (7) of the cushion section (4) drops lower than the cover (2),
causing the spring to pressurized. And the surrounding area of the user's anus
[36] becomes situated on the upper support section (7). In addition, when the
user cannot satisfactorily relieve him/herself, the user only needs to move
his/her hip up and down slightly and the upper support section (7) pressurized
with spring (6) stimulates the anus area and facilitate the process of relieving
oneself.
[37] The Picture 4 is the surface layout of lower support section (3) of the toilet
cover (2) and Picture 5 is the detailed layout of the cushion section (4).
[38] In above design, by attaching the lower support section (3) to the cushion
section (4) with the attachment section (9) and making it aligned, it is a design
where the portion of upper support section (7) gets inserted into the urine
passage (10) of the lower support section (3). This design resolved the problem
of the urine passage (10) being in the way of the upper support section (7)
when raising the seat up and down.
[39] In addition, the spring (6) which provides cushion feature is applied only as
an example and the actual cushion feature is always applicable.
[40] Furthermore, if the cushion section (4) is damaged during usage, separate
the cushion section (4) by loosening the bolts in the attachment section (9)
located in the lower portion of the lower support section (3) and just replace the
cushion section (4). This makes maintenance and repair very simple and by
changing just the toilet cover (2) on the existing toilet with the concept model, it
can be used without the necessity of changing the entire toilet unit.
