TOILET SYSTEM FOR WHEELCHAIR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a toilet system for wheelchairs with which a care-giver and a care-receiver using a wheelchair can safely perform all movements without burden when the care-receiver excretes. SOLUTION: A moving flatcar, where a toilet bowl is fixed in a toilet room and a wheelchair waiting space is arranged next to the toilet bowl, can move on a rail horizontally. On the moving flatcar, the toilet bowl horizontally moves to the position of the wheelchair waiting space and stops when the wheelchair on which the care-receiver sits is mounted on the wheelchair waiting space on the moving flatcar and the care-receiver waits at a waiting place for the care-receiver standing by holding a handrail at the front of the wheelchair. The care-receiver takes off his or her cloths there and sits on the toilet bowl, and after excretion, he or she stands at the waiting place for the care receiver. After that, the wheelchair on the wheelchair waiting space moves by the horizontal movement of the moving flatcar and stops, and the care receiver sits on the wheelchair and exits the toilet. Also, the toilet may be fixed and the moving flatcar where the care receiver stands by holding the handrail can be disposed in the front of the toilet. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
