A toilet armrest, including a fixed seat and an armrest body; a first limit part is formed on the armrest body, the fixed seat is formed with a second limit part to limit the armrest body continues to swing at a lower limit position; a first clamp part is formed on the armrest body, a second clamp part is formed on the fixed seat; at least one of the first clamp part and the second clamp part is capable of being elastically deformed, so that the first clamp part passes through the second clamp part to provide resistance when the armrest body is swung into or out of the lower limit position. It enables the armrest to be securely swung to the side of the toilet seat for use by those with limited mobility, or to be swung to a position that avoids the toilet seat.

A passenger lavatory unit has an enclosing structure enclosing a lavatory space, and a toilet assembly inside the lavatory space. The toilet assembly has a toilet bowl and a shroud to support the user during use. The toilet assembly serves as a hybrid toilet to be used as a sitting toilet or as a squatting toilet. The shroud includes an upper edge surrounding an upper opening of the toilet bowl. To accommodate a user sitting position, the upper edge is provided as a toilet seat, and a feet-placing area is provided on a floor segment in front of the toilet assembly. The shroud has two lateral tread portions, one on either side of the toilet bowl. To accommodate a user squatting position, the tread portions are provided as elevated rest-platforms arranged on an intermediate level provided above a floor level and below a toilet seat level.

The present invention provides a stand assist apparatus that can be positioned over an armless seat or toilet to assist the user in standing up and/or being seated. The stand assist apparatus includes a first and second frame, each frame having a front leg and a back leg, a support bar interconnecting the front leg and the back leg and a handle portion disposed directly above the front leg, an upper adjustable member and a lower adjustable member for adjusting the distance between the first and second frames, means for pivoting the upper and lower adjustable members about the first and second frames, and means for locking the upper and lower adjustable members between the first and second frames. The stand assist apparatus is foldable by releasing the means for locking and allowing the frames to fold together vertically as the adjustable members simultaneously pivot therebetween.

A toilet inhibits an occupant from exiting the toilet. Sensors positioned on the toilet detect the application of pressure on the toilet by an occupant that is consistent with an occupant attempting to exit the toilet, and/or movements of an occupant that are consistent with an occupant attempting to exit the toilet. The sensors cause an actuator to change the angle of the toilet seat, which inhibits exiting the toilet. The toilet may also be constructed to signal an attendant when actions by an occupant are consistent with actions indicating an attempt by the occupant to exit the toilet.

A front lying toilet having a chest support positioning users in a forward-facing front lying position. The toilet additionally includes arm supports, knee supports, and foot supports. The toilet configures a user to lay on their abdomen, positioning the anus of the user above the bowl of the toilet, reducing the pressure on the user's anus. Additionally, to supports include pads to provide comfort to the user.

Disclosed is a seat-type air-extracting suction apparatus to aid bowel movement having a main body (10), a support frame (20), a vacuum motor (30) and a pressure regulation valve (40), wherein the main body (10) is provided with a loading housing (11), a seat cushion (13) and an extraction box (12), the loading housing (11) has a first through hole (111), the seat cushion (13) is provided on the loading housing (11) and is formed with a guidance hole (131), the guidance hole (131) is aligned with the first through hole (111) of the loading housing (11), the extraction box (12) penetrates through and is provided in the loading housing (11), and an internal space of the extraction box (12) corresponds to the first through hole (111). The support frame (20) is provided on the outside of the main body (10) and is provided with a starting switch (22). The vacuum motor (30) is connected to the main body (10) and is used for extracting air to reduce the pressure inside the loading housing (11), a negative pressure effect being created when extracting air via the vacuum motor (30), aiding the bowel movement of a user. The pressure regulation valve (40) is able to adjust the pressure inside the loading housing (11) to meet the comfort level of the user.

A method of operating a toilet includes detecting movement, using an imaging device comprising a sensor, of eyes of a person, wherein the imaging device is attached to or associate with the toilet. Using a computer processor analyzing imaging received from the imaging device, one or more directions that the person's eyes are pointing towards is determined. The directions are compared with prestored commands and a first prestored command is executed in response to the one or more directions matching the first prestored command.

Implementations of a toilet seat system can include a raised toilet seat having a set of cavities formed therein, cavities in the set of cavities being configured to receive inserts, and a handrail including a rail and an insert that is releasably secured within a cavity of the set of cavities.

A toilet seat assembly is for a toilet and includes a hinge post configured to be coupled to the toilet, and a toilet seat rotatably coupled to the hinge post and defining a bottom surface. The toilet seat includes a ring having a support surface opposite the bottom surface and configured to support a person when sitting on the toilet, a first wing extending from a first side of the ring, and a second wing extending from a second side of the ring opposite the first side. The toilet seat assembly further includes a first handle extending upwardly from the first wing and oriented perpendicularly relative to the bottom surface of the toilet seat, and a second handle extending upwardly from the second wing and oriented perpendicularly relative to the bottom surface of the toilet seat. The first and second handles are configured to be gripped by the person.

A system and a method for a seat apparatus (100, 400) comprising a base (102); a seat (106), wherein the seat (106) is moveably connected to the base (102) such that the seat (106) is rotatable relative to the base (102); a locking assembly (300, 500) associated with the seat (106), the locking assembly (300, 500) configured to lock the seat (106) in one or more positions relative to the base (102); the locking assembly (300, 500) comprising a trigger (302, 502) that is manually actuable by a user; wherein the seat (106) is unlocked when the trigger (302, 502) is actuated, to allow the seat (106) to rotate relative to the base (102).
