The defecated fecal receiving portion 14 equips the rinse solution nozzle 17 which sprays warm water to main cleanse the anus 85 and wash out the feces 86 on the upper surface of the defecated fecal receiving portion 14. At the left and right marginal regions 91 of said defecated fecal receiving portion 14, the arcwise wind-guide long holes 25 open respectively and a step 87 is set to flow air at the side of the defecated fecal receiving portion 14 of the wind-guide long hole 25. The wide femoral receiving portion 16 of about 2030 mm in width is formed in a region from the tip portion of said wind-guide long hole 25 to the marginal region 92 of said discharged urine receiving portion 15 with slight inclination at both the sides. Two assembly ligulas 21 projecting forward from said wind-guide long hole 25 and the assembly projection 22 protrudes at the nearly center. As shown in
(37) The upward spray nozzle 43 cleansing the anus and pubes is equipped with an angle of 4050 degree to the horizontal level at the upper end of said rinse solution nozzle 17, as shown in
(38) As shown in
(39) The surface of said defecated fecal receiving portion 14 is coated by low friction member such as Teflon (registered brand name), which prevents the attachment of feces and urine and facilitates to flow smoothly.
(40) As shown in
(41) The assembly projection 22 is made at a position corresponding to the assembly projection 22 in said main body 10 of the basal receiving portion 27 and the backside receiving portion 28. The assembly ligula 36 having the assembly projection 37 at the left and right of the anterior end is equipped.
(42) The flexuous excretory-substance suction hose 52 which isn't crushed is fitted in the tubular portion 26 in the main body of the toilet seat 10 and fixed by joint band 83, and projects from the hose plug-in hole 32 of said back cover portion 11; which facilitates a person wearing the wearable toilet seat to bend over and stand up as remaining in the condition with the toilet seat.
(43) In the air-blasting pipe mounting hole 33 of said back cover portion 11, the air-blasting pipe connecting member 49 is mounted and the outer air-supply pipe 53 is connected. As shown in
(44) Said air-blasting pipe connecting member 49 and the water pipe connecting member 50 and the connector 51 can be mounted in a fixed condition at the backside receiving portion 28 of the back cover portion 11 or can be mounted in a removable condition by connector mechanism which has been known publicly.
(45) In said air-blasting pipe connecting member 49, as shown in

(47) The circuit board 84 in which the fecal sensor 23 and the urine sensor 24 are mounted from the back side of the defecated fecal receiving portion 14 of said main body 10 is fixed. Said fecal sensor 23 is exposed at the upper surface of the nearly central portion of the defecated fecal receiving portion 14 and said four urine sensors 24 are mounted around the fecal sensor 23 in an exposed condition at the front.
(48) Tenons 41 of the bilateral tips of the front cover portion 12 is put on the wind-guide long hole 25 of said main body 10 as inletting. Then, in the front cover portion 12, as shown in
(49) Although the air flow volume from said air blasting routes 46a, 46b, 46c and 46d are different according to mutual intervals and angles among the wind-guide fins 40a, 40b, 40c and 40d, it was confirmed that the fecal/urine wash-out processing capability is the most efficient when the flow volume of the left and right air blasting routes 46b, 46c and 46d are adjusted to be 30% respectively with about 40% of the two air blasting routes 46a at the center.
(50) Specifically, in the center where the initial purpose was achieved in a condition that the wind-guide fin 40b extends over 26.5 degree to the central line L, the wind guide fine 40c is at zero degree (parallel) to the central line L, and the wind-guide fin 40d tilts toward the minus 15 degree to the central line L, a nozzle-escape concave portion 38 is formed.
(51) The excretory-substance suction hose 52, air-supply pipe 53, water pipe 54, and electric cord 55 are mounted at said back cover portion 11. The circuit board 84 and the wind guide groove member 47 etc. are fixed at the defected fecal receiving portion 14 of the main body of the toilet seat 10 and the back cover portion 11 is fitted in from the bottom surface of the main body 10. Then, the main body 10 and back cover portion 11 are fixed by multiple assembly projections 22 and screws. The assembly ligula 21 of the main body 10 and the assembly ligula 36 of the back cover portion 11 are pressed-fit in the plug-in groove 61 of the hip receiving portion 13 made from elastic body as shown in
(52) Next, as shown in
(53) When the first bed-sore preventive member 57, second bed-sore preventive member 58, and third bed-sore preventive member 59 are worn with the diaper, it is said desirable that the body pressure is 50 mmHg or less, more preferably 32 mmHg or less.
(54) To meet the condition, said first bed-sore preventive member 57 and the second bed-sore preventive member 58 are made from silicon rubber of 515 degree in hardness by JISA and are adhered in a fixed manner. The third bed-sore preventive member 59 mounted at the upper surface of the hip receiving portion 13 is made from gel member of 410 degree in hardness by Asker C and it is desirable to be adhesive for easy peeling off and cleaning when any waste matter invades a portion between the hip receiving portion 13 and the third bed-sore preventive member 59. In addition, because the sacral bone comes in contact with the third bed-sore preventive member 59, it is desirable to form the sacral escape concave portion 60 at the hip receiving portion 13 and put the third bed-sore preventive member 59 on it.
(55) The wearable toilet seat configured as explained above is worn between the legs with the diaper 66 as shown in
(56) An example of the diaper 66 is explained below.
(57) As shown in
(58) A bottle-guard shape excretion hole 74 is cut out through the cushion member 76 and the crotch contour wrapping portion 67c. In an adhesive member 75 inside the circular hole and liner cut of the excretion hole 74, an adhesive layer having a peel-off sheet on the back surface is formed and is fixed with adhesion at the cylinder cowling 39 of the anterior cover portion 12 as shown in
(59) Two pieces each of a gather tape 77 are fixed at both the sides of the excretion hole 74 and two male sexual organ retentive portion 80 which bulges out in a tubular manner along the line of the mounting region of the inner gather tape 77 are set with a certain interval.
(60) A hygroscopic toilet-seat cover cloth 78 covers a region from the end of the waist contour wrapping portion 67a to the excretion hole 74 in the outer surface of said diaper 66. The surrounding other than the region wrapping the excretion hole 74 of the toilet-seat cover cloth 78 is bonded at the bottom surface of the waist contour wrapping portion 67a and a portion where the toilet-seat cover cloth 78 and the waist contour wrapping portion 67a overlaps becomes a plug-in gap 79. In the peripheral region wrapping the excretion hole 74 of said toilet-seat cover cloth 78, an adhesive layer with a peel-off sheet is formed. In addition, the male sexual organ retentive portion 80 is set at the inner side of the abdominal contour wrapping portion 67b side near said excretion hole 74, and an end of a gap retentive tape 81 adheres to the outer side, and an adhesive layer with a peel-off sheet is formed at the other end of the gap retentive tape 81. A fixing member 71 having a face fastener 72 is set at both the sides of said waist contour wrapping portion 67a and is combined with a face fastener of the abdominal contour wrapping portion 67b in a freely removable manner.
(61) Procedures of wearing the wearable toilet seat configured as described above are explained below.
(62) (1) The hip receiving portion 13 of the toilet seat shown in
(63) (2) The wearable toilet seat with the diaper 66 gotten on is applied to the crotch in a patient etc. At that time, when the gluteal region of the patient etc. is put on the third bed-sore preventive member 59 in the hip receiving portion 13, a position of the anus is right above the fecal sensor 23 in the defecated fecal receiving portion 14 and the femoral root region attached firmly to the femoral receiving portion 16 in the wearable toilet seat.
(64) (3) When the firm attachment is made, the abdominal contour wrapping portion 67b is folded back up to the abdomen of the patient etc. At that time, in case of male patient etc., the male sexual organ is placed at a gap with the male sexual organ retentive portion 80 and the urinary tract is placed appropriately in a direction toward the discharged urine receiving portion 15. The female sexual organ is faced off against the rinse solution nozzle 18 in the discharged urine receiving portion 15.
(65) (4) The abdominal contour wrapping portion 67b is wrapped round from the upside of the abdomen in the patient etc. and the waist contour wrapping portion 67a is covered as the gather 70 is extended from both the sides of the abdominal contour wrapping portion 67b, and then, the face fastener 72 of the fixing member 71 is latched together with the face fastener 72 of the abdominal contour wrapping portion 67b.
(66) (5) To form an appropriate space between the defecated fecal receiving portion 14 and the discharged urine receiving portion 15 in the wearable toilet seat and the urinary organ in the patients etc. to prevent the attachment of feces and urine to the diaper 66 around the excretion hole 74, the gap retentive tape 81 is pulled in to firmly attach the outer surface of the diaper 66 to the first bed-sore preventive member 57 of the wearable toilet seat, the peel-off sheet is removed from the gap retentive tape 81 to attach it to the back cover portion 11, and moreover, the gap retentive tape 82 is attached to prevent for the gap retentive tape 81 to be peeled off as intersecting with the gap retentive tape 81. In the diaper 66, because two pieces each of the face fastener 72 are formed at both the sides of the excretion hole 74 and the gather 70 is formed at both the sides of the crotch contour wrapping portion 67c, it hardly occur that feces, urine or rinse solution leaks from the diaper 66.
(67) (6) To prevent those to leak from both the sides of the defecated fecal receiving portion 14 and the discharged urine receiving portion 15 because the setting way of the diaper 66 or the wearable toilet seat is insufficient, the outer side of the defecated fecal receiving portion 14 is wrapped by the toilet seat cover cloth 78 outside the diaper 66 and the adhesive sheet of the excretion hole 74 is removed and is bonded at the main body 10 and the back cover portion 11, having no space between them. The toilet seat cover cloth 78 can prevent surely the external leakage from the toilet seat by means of the water-proof and water absorption functions.
(68) As described above, when the wearable toilet seat is worn with the diaper and the fecal sensor 23 or/and the urine sensor 24 detect it/them, the excretory substance processing device which isn't shown in a diagram drives and sucks in the feces or/and urine and processes it, cleanse with warm water and dry by warm wind.
(69) In said embodiment example, as shown in
(70) However, as shown in
(71) For persons in one-side lying position, for example only left side lying position, only the angle of the left fin is formed as shown in
(72) In addition, to facilitate side-lying position and change in body position, as shown in
(73) In said embodiment case, as shown in
(74) Besides the first, second and third bed-sore preventive members 57, 58, and 59, as shown in
(75) More specifically, the fourth bed-sore preventive member 93 is made from silicon rubber of 515 degree in hardness by JISA as the first bed-sore preventive member 57 and second bed-sore preventive member 58 are, and is fixed with adhesion in a manner that the bottom surface of the back cover portion 11 and a part of the surfaces of both the sides continuing from the bottom surface are wrapped. The fourth bed-sore preventive member 93 isn't mounted at the adhesive portion 96 to which the toilet seat cover cloth 78 at the bottom surface of said back cover portion 11 adheres. After the fourth bed-sore preventive member 93 is inserted to the plug-in gap 79 of the diaper 66, the peel-off sheet 94 is peeled off and the adhesive layer 95 bonds at the bottom surface and both the sides of the back cover portion 11 to prevent the leakage of urine and rinse solution from the sides of the main body 10.
