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 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.

An apparatus for assisting a person in assumption of a squat position for evacuations when using a toilet, the apparatus including a platform adapted to raise a user's feet from the ground surface, and at least one foot member, each having an opening therein to at least partially receive a portion of the toilet or bowl, and at least one height adjustment assembly to adjust the height of the platform above the at least one foot member, the height adjustment assembly including an upper leg mounted to the platform, a lower leg mounted to the at least one foot member for slidable movement relative thereto, a resilient separator to bias the platform and the at least one foot apart, and a locking mechanism to at least temporarily lock the upper leg relative to the lower leg to fix the height of the platform.

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.

The present disclosure is directed to adjustable toilet footrests while using a toilet. In one example, an adjustable toilet footrest has a foot platform having at least two telescopic legs extending therefrom, wherein the telescopic legs have a locking mechanism that allows for the height of the platform to be selectively adjusted to a user's desire.

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 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.

A toiletry wiping device. The toiletry wiping device includes an elongated handle connected to a head having a pair of opposing jaws for clamping on objects positioned between the jaws. A sliding sleeve is mounted around the jaws that is configured to slide from one end of the jaws to the other end, causing the jaws to move towards and away from each other, respectfully. The head is pivotally connected to the elongated handle via hinge that allows a user to selectively adjust the relative angle of the head. In one embodiment, the handle includes a telescopic arrangement having one or more elongated sections that adjust the length of the handle. Further, one end of the jaws includes a high friction dry to prevent objects from accidentally slipping from between the jaws.
