DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0022] Referring to FIG. 1, a folding toilet step stool includes the seat cushion ring 1 and the elevated ladder 2. The elevated ladder 2 includes the left support rod 3, the right support rod 4, the bottom plate 5 and the pedal 6. The front portion of the seat cushion ring 1 is hinged to the upper portion of the left support rod 3 and the upper portion of the right support rod 4. The bottom of the left support rod 3 and the bottom of the right support rod 4 are hinged to the bottom plate 5. The pedal 6 is hinged between the middle of the left support rod 3 and the middle of the right support rod 4. The left support rod 3 and the right support rod 4 are disposed obliquely. The length of the front portion of the pedal 6 is greater than the length of the rear portion of the pedal 6. Two abutting surfaces 61 are formed at the junctions of the front portion of the pedal 6 and the rear portion of the pedal 6. The front side surface of the left support rod 3 and the front side surface of the right support rod 4 abut against the two abutting surfaces, respectively.

[0023] Referring to FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8. The first rotating shaft 7 is disposed inside the top of each of the left support rod 3 and the right support rod 4, and the first rotating shaft 7 is provided with the first threaded section 71. The front portion of each of the left side surface and the right side surface of the seat cushion ring 1 is provided with the first rotating cylinder 8, and the first rotating cylinder 8 is provided with the first threaded hole 81. One end of the first rotating cylinder 8 extends into the top of the corresponding support rod, and the first threaded section 71 is correspondingly screwed to the first threaded hole 81. The end surface at the other end of the first rotating cylinder 8 is provided with the first “straight slot” 82. Each of the middle of the left support rod 3 and the middle of the right support rod 4 is provided with the stepped through hole 9. The middle of each of the left side surface and the right side surface of the pedal 6 is provided with the second rotating shaft 62, and the second rotating shaft 62 is provided with the second threaded section 63. The second rotating cylinder 10 is disposed in the stepped through hole 9, and the second rotating cylinder 10 is provided with the second threaded hole 101. One end of the second rotating shaft 62 extends into the stepped through hole 9, and the second threaded section 63 is correspondingly screwed to the second threaded hole 101. An outer end surface of the second rotating cylinder 10 is provided with the second “straight slot” 102. The first “straight slot” 82 and the second “straight slot” 102 facilitate the screwing between the first rotating cylinder 8 and the first rotating shaft 7 and the screwing between the second rotating cylinder 10 and the second rotating shaft 62. The first rotating cylinder 8 and the second rotating cylinder 10 have the same structure.

[0024] Referring to FIGS. 1, 6 and 7, the bottom plate 5 is provided with the left receiving groove 51 and the right receiving groove 52. The rear end of each of the left receiving groove 51 and the right receiving groove 52 is an open structure. The bottom of the left support rod 3 and the bottom of the right support rod 4 are located in the left receiving groove 51 and the right receiving groove 52, respectively. Each of both side surfaces of each of the left receiving groove 51 and the right receiving groove 52 is provided with the groove 53 and the engaging hole 54. The engaging hole 54 is located beneath the groove 53 and connected to the groove 53. Each of both side surfaces of each of the left support rod 3 and the right support rod 4 is provided with the engaged part 11 engaged with the corresponding engaging hole 54. The lower end surface of the engaged part 11 is rounded to facilitate engaging the engaged part 11 into the engaging hole 54.

[0025] Referring to FIGS. 1, 2, 4 and 7. The top surface of the pedal 6 is provided with anti-slip protrusions 64, and the anti-slip protrusions 64 are configured to prevent the feet from slipping. Each of the left top surface and the right top surface of the seat cushion ring 1 is provided with the wave-shaped handle 12. The top surface of the seat cushion ring 1 is provided with the PU pad 13. The top outer end surface of each of the left support rod 3 and the right support rod 4 is provided with the decorative ring 14 fastened thereto.

[0026] The design principle of the present invention is as follows. Referring to FIG. 1, the bottom plate 5 is placed on the floor and the seat cushion ring 1 is placed on the toilet, so that children can sit on the seat cushion ring with their feet on the pedal 6 for urination or defecation, rather than dangling their feet on the floor, which avoids the safety problem caused by the relatively large seat of the toilet when the child sits on the seat cushion ring 1. When the toilet step stool is not in use, the left support rod 3 and the right support rod 4 can be rotated to be perpendicular to the bottom plate 5, and then the seat cushion ring 1 and the pedal 6 are rotated to an appropriate position where the toilet step stool is minimum in size, thereby minimizing the space occupied.

[0027] The above is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the design concept of the present invention is not limited thereto. Using this concept to make non-substantive changes to the present invention shall belong to an infringement to the scope of protection of the present invention.
