A toilet hook for use in storing a child's toilet seat cover. The toilet hook may have an upper body and a stopper attached to the upper body. The toilet hook may also have a lower body and a hook adjacent to the lower body. The upper body of the toilet hook may be able to twist in relation to the lower body.

A sheet material dispensing apparatus, including a shaft operatively connected to a supply roller and a retracting roller, wherein the retracting roller has a radiused portion and at least one truncated portion; a motor configured to cause the shaft to rotate; an activating cam operatively connected to the supply roller; a microswitch operatively associated with the activating cam, the microswitch being configured to limit operation of the motor; a supporting plate engaged and disengaged by the retracting roller during operation, wherein the disengagement of the radiused portion from the supporting plate causes the supply roller to translate toward a wall of the apparatus; and at least one article of sheet material housed within the apparatus.

Embodiments of the present invention can provide a combination toilet trainer, comprising a base comprising two handles, an underside, a backside, and an open side; a removable seat comprising a backed ring and a hinged ring connected by a hinge point, each having an inner opening; and an internal bowl having an internal bowl lip; wherein the removable seat is configured to be removably mounted atop the open side of the base; and wherein the internal bowl is configured to be removably attachable to the removable seat at the inner opening by the internal bowl lip being secured between the backed ring and the hinged ring.

An example system includes a manipulation device, a sensor device and a control module. The control module may be configured to receive information from the sensor to accurately control movement of the manipulation device. The control module may also mimick functionality of a human arm and hand to allow a user to perform a variety of tasks that the user usually does with his own arms and hands.

A sheet material dispensing apparatus, including a shaft operatively connected to a supply roller and a retracting roller, wherein the retracting roller has a radiused portion and at least one truncated portion; a motor configured to cause the shaft to rotate; an activating cam operatively connected to the supply roller; a microswitch operatively associated with the activating cam, the microswitch being configured to limit operation of the motor; a supporting plate engaged and disengaged by the retracting roller during operation, wherein the disengagement of the radiused portion from the supporting plate causes the supply roller to translate toward a wall of the apparatus; and at least one article of sheet material housed within the apparatus.

An example system includes a manipulation device configured to be mounted to a sanitation apparatus for storing or disposing human waste. The manipulation device includes a first arm mechanism, a second arm mechanism, a first articulating joint mechanically coupling the first arm mechanism to the second arm mechanism, a grasping mechanism, and a second articulating joint mechanically coupling the second arm mechanism to the grasping mechanism. The system also includes a control module communicatively coupled to the manipulation device and configured to control the manipulation device.

A solution for cleaning and/or sterilizing one or more surfaces in a bathroom. The sterilization can be performed using ultraviolet sources, which can emit ultraviolet radiation directed onto the surface(s). The cleaning can be performed using a fluid, such as water, that is flowed over the surface(s). The surface(s) can include at least a seat of a toilet and/or other surfaces associated with the toilet.

A toilet hook for use in storing a child's toilet seat cover. The toilet hook may have an upper body and a stopper attached to the upper body. The toilet hook may also have a lower body and a hook adjacent to the lower body. The upper body of the toilet hook may be able to twist in relation to the lower body.

A sheet material dispensing apparatus, including a cover; a rear wall connected to the cover; a flexible mounting plate operatively connected to the cover; a shaft connected to the mounting plate; a motor operatively connected to the shaft; a supply roller connected to the shaft, the supply roller having a radiused portion and at least one truncated portion; and a microswitch activating cam extending from a side of the supply roller, the microswitch activating cam being operable to contact a microswitch fixed on the mounting plate to stop the motor, wherein the apparatus further includes: a retracting roller connected to the shaft, wherein the retracting roller has a radiused portion, and at least one truncated portion; and a supporting plate engaged and disengaged by the retracting roller during operation, wherein the disengagement of the radiused portion from the supporting plate causes the supply roller to translate toward the rear wall.

A sheet dispensing apparatus for dispensing sheets from a sheet material card having a plurality of sheets. The sheet dispensing apparatus includes a sensor, a motor including a motor shaft, a supply roller operatively connected to the motor, an indicator, and a controller operatively connected to the proximity sensor and to the indicator. The controller includes a processor and a memory configured to store program instructions. The processor is configured to execute the stored program instructions to: detect a first presence of an object with the sensor; move the supply roller into contact with one sheet of the plurality of sheets in response to the detecting the first presence of the object; rotate the motor shaft a first time to move the supply roller a predetermined angle of rotation to dispense the one sheet; and stop the motor shaft when the predetermined angle of rotation has been completed.
