The present invention is a toilet seat that includes a top surface to support the user's body; a bottom surface designed to rest on a toilet bowl for support; and a lifter attached to the bottom surface for raising the toilet seat directly vertically above the toilet bowl and for tilting the toilet seat such that a rear portion of the toilet seat assumes a vertically higher position than front portion of the toilet seat while remaining above the toilet bowl, wherein the lifter is structured to move the toilet seat into the vertically higher position; and a handle attached to the toilet seat for manually moving the toilet seat into the vertically higher position.

A toilet for facilitating bowel movements comprising a toilet base having a bowl for receiving the human waste and a rim for supporting the human. The rim defines a generally circular shape having a proximal edge, a primary side edge, a secondary side edge and a distal edge. The proximal edge defines a first elevation. The distal edge defines a second elevation. The second elevation has a greater elevation than the first elevation for defining an ascending slope from the proximal edge and the distal edge. The ascending slope positions the human in a squatting position while defecating for improving the bowel movement from the human.

An assistive apparatus with adjustable height is designed to be placed on or about a toilet such that when an individual uses the toilet the weight of the individual is transferred to the assistive apparatus and not directly on the toilet, avoiding distribution of heavy weight to the toilet itself. The invention also includes a powered lifting mechanism to aid the individual in utilizing a toilet. The powered lifting mechanism includes a pair of lift arm assemblies which are driven by a motor at both sides to raise and lower the assistive platform and be tilted between a first stationery position and a second tilted position, tilted at an angle (a) in a vertical Z direction from a horizontal plane. The front and back supporting legs are used to provide sturdy structural support for a person's weight whiling sitting on the assistive apparatus atop of a toilet.

An assistive apparatus with a buttock-spreading mechanism suitable for assisting a person in getting onto a toilet is disclosed. The person using the toilet together with the assistive apparatus is able to transfer the bodyweight of the person to be supported by the assistive apparatus, thereby avoiding the transfer or distribution of the person's heavy weight directly to the toilet itself. The buttock-spreading mechanism includes expandable leaflets disposed on a platform to comfortably accommodates the dimensions of the person's buttocks, and the leaflets of the buttock-spreading mechanism is designed to be movable (e.g., expanded or retracted) for spreading the buttocks of the person.

Novel tools and techniques might provide for implementing seat lifting. In various embodiments, a seat lifter might include one or more first pistons, one or more second pistons, and a seat portion. The one or more first pistons, when actuated (e.g., in response to user input), might cause a rear portion of the seat portion to lift relative to a front portion of the seat portion, the rear portion of the seat portion being lifted by a first height above a seat to which the seat lifter is affixed. The one or more second pistons, when actuated, might cause the front portion of the seat portion to lift by a second height above the seat, the second height being less than the first height. In some instances, the first pistons and the second pistons might be actuated serially (in either order), or might be actuated concurrently.

A body support and positioning apparatus and system for seated-position toilet use provides two levers, two stanchions, a platform, a crosspiece, two stop and release mechanisms, each providing a swinging support strut, a hinge to allow pivoting motion about the hinge, a flexible wire segment, a stiff wire segment, and a trigger mechanism. An embodiment of the apparatus and system is configured about the sides and front of a toilet to provide a body support system for squatting into a position for optimal bowel movement evacuation. Embodiments of the apparatus and system provide adjustable stanchion height and assembly, as well as varied platform, crosspiece, and support strut combinations.

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).

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.

This disclosure relates generally to an automatic toilet system for use within commercial and private dwellings and which comprises of an adjustable pedestals and spa system where one unit is featuring five buttons for bidet jet spray, seat warmer, sound system, hydro-flush and automatic air freshener. The system uses a pair of infrared light sources and sensors located within specialized system for adjusting automatically the temperature, automatic flush system, automatic air freshener, sound system and bidet jet spray. Our product has the side armrests elderly person or someone who has a hard time sitting on the toilet, the stool is set higher for easier access.

A flush toilet capable of correcting a defecation posture, in which a seat disposed on a toilet main body for a user to sit is inclined on the top thereof such that the front where the user's thighs are placed is higher than the rear where the user's hips are placed. Accordingly, smooth defecation is allowed by preventing bending between the intestine and the anus in the body by correcting the posture of a user into a squatting posture such that an angle between the upper body and the thighs of the user is maintained between 3550 as if the user were using a squat toilet. Therefore, defecation time is reduced and the user's legs are prevented from becoming numb, thereby improving satisfaction with defecation. Further, intestinal movement is activated during defecation, so smooth defecation is possible, and constipation, hemorrhoids, irritable bowel syndrome, cancers, and other colorectal diseases are prevented.
