A bathroom facility transfer system, including a mobile base, a stationary base, and a removable bridge is disclosed. A user seated in a chair, is positioned adjacent to a bathroom facility with the mobile base. The removable bridge connects the mobile base to the stationary base, which is removably affixed to the bathroom facility, to allow the chair carrying the user to be moved between the mobile base and the stationary base. A chair blocking member on the removable base is movable between a) a chair blocking position, and b) a chair unblocking position. At least one opposed end of the chair blocking member interferes with movement of the chair onto the removable bridge from the mobile base or the stationary base, when the chair blocking member is in the chair blocking position. A method of assisting a user with accessing a bathroom facility is also disclosed.

An assistance system includes a storage section configured to store usage record data in which usage information as to a use of an assistance device configured to assist an operation of a care receiver is recorded in association with time information as to a date and time when the assistance device is used and user identification information used to identify a user using the assistance device, an extracting section configured to extract the usage information and the time information as to a specific user based on the user identification information included in the usage record data, and a display section configured to display a time series change in the usage information as to the specific user in a graspable manner.

An assistive seating device (10) includes a frame (11) having a base (12) with rear legs (14) coupled to front legs (15) having lifting arms (21). The base also includes a first couplers (25) and second couplers (26). The frame also includes a seat portion (29) coupled to the base for reciprocal movement between a lowered, seating position and a raised, lifting position. Lifting cylinders (40) are pivotally coupled at a top end (41) to the seat portion. Each lifting cylinder also has a lower end (44) receivable within either the first or second tubular coupler. The force of the lifting cylinders upon the pivoting seat portion depends upon the selected coupling location of the lower ends of the lifting cylinders upon the base. The assistive seating device also includes a lock to prevent the seat portion from pivoting from its lowered, seating position to its raised, lifting position.

A stationary type caring lift includes a base plate arranged on a floor part at each of head and foot sides of a bed for a care receiver along each short-side side of the bed, four supports erected on the base plates in the vicinity of four corners of the bed, a pair of guide rails supported above the bed by the four supports and arranged in parallel along both long-side sides of the bed, a longitudinally moving body arranged between the guide rails and capable of being moved in a longitudinal direction of the bed while being guided by the guide rails, a slide rail attached movably, a laterally moving body attached movably in the lateral direction of the bed, and a lifting drive mechanism attached in the laterally moving body for hanging down the care receiver and having a worm reduction gear with a self-lock function.

A toilet comprising a frame; a bowl supported by the frame; a seat also supported by the frame; a shroud for covering the frame; at least one lift mechanism supported by the frame for adjusting the position of the bowl or seat; at least one sensor for capturing at least one property of a user; and a processor adapted to analyze the at least one property to determine a characteristic of the user is disclosed.

Provided herein is a sitting aid device for bathroom fixtures, such as toilets or bidets, which is combined with at least one first installation surface and comprises: a sitting element, comprising an opening and configured to come into contact with an upper portion of a user's body; a motor operatively combined with said sitting element to move said sitting element between a first position, in which said sitting element is substantially parallel to said first installation surface, and a second position, in which said sitting element is at least partially away from an upper end of said bathroom fixture and is inclined with respect to a plane parallel to said first installation surface; at least one supporting frame to which said sitting element is rotatably constrained; said at least one supporting frame comprising at least one base element configured to come into contact with said first installation surface); and a control unit configured to control said motor; wherein said at least one supporting frame is able to switch from an open configuration, in which said sitting element is away from said base element, so as to be able to house at least partially said bathroom fixture between said sitting element and said base element, and a closed configuration in which said sitting element is moved closer to said base element.

A toilet includes a base, a cover, and a seat. The seat is rotatably coupled to the base, and the cover is rotatably coupled to the seat. The cover and the seat define an angled axis that is oriented upward and forward toward a front end of the base. The cover and the seat are each configured to rotate about the angled axis between a lowered position in which the cover and the seat are located adjacent the base and a stowed position in which the cover and the seat are oriented in an upward direction.

In one example, a lifting assembly for a toilet includes at least a track arm and a track. The track arm is configured to guide a toilet seat assembly from a first position to a second position. The track is coupled to a base enclosure of the toilet and providing a track path for the track arm, and the track path has a radius of curvature to limit the range of motion of the toilet seat assembly.

A toilet seat lift assembly includes a toilet seat that is mountable to a toilet and the toilet seat has a lower half and an upper half. A set of first brackets is each movably coupled between the lower half and the upper half of the toilet seat. A set of second brackets is each movably coupled between the lower half and the upper half of the toilet seat. A lifting unit is movably coupled to the upper half of the toilet seat for urging the upper half into a home position or a deployed position. A remote control is in communication with the lifting unit for remotely actuating the lifting unit into the lowering condition or the lifting condition. In this way the remote control facilitates a person to either lift or lower themselves onto the toilet.

A bathroom facility transfer system, including a mobile base, a stationary base, and a removable bridge is disclosed. A user seated in a chair, is positioned adjacent to a bathroom facility with the mobile base. The removable bridge connects the mobile base to the stationary base, which is removably affixed to the bathroom facility, to allow the chair carrying the user to be moved between the mobile base and the stationary base. A chair blocking member on the removable base is movable between a) a chair blocking position, and b) a chair unblocking position. At least one opposed end of the chair blocking member interferes with movement of the chair onto the removable bridge from the mobile base or the stationary base, when the chair blocking member is in the chair blocking position. A method of assisting a user with accessing a bathroom facility is also disclosed.
