Definitions

  • the present descriptive report relates to a patent of invention for a chair/bench, in two versions, and also a toilet basin, comprising new constructions, especially due to the angle of seating top edge which limits a central cavity for receiving water, liquid or suitable solution, forming anatomical supports allowing the user to seat comfortably and perform the therapeutic or hygienizing procedure through a “seat bath” system, in this case aimed to gluteal region and genital area, below the navel.
  • the seat bath acts on eliminatory organs, activating the expulsion of harmful substances present in organism, especially in case of the treatment proposed for gluteal region and genital area.
  • the proposed treatment can also be made in pre and post surgical periods.
  • a bathtub or bowl may receive a suitable volume of water, which may vary in several temperatures according to the aimed benefit or according to the cure therapy for a given disease or illness.
  • the seat bath with water in a temperature between 13 and 24° C. for example is beneficial against light fevers, inflammation or congestion of abdominal and pelvic organs, hemorrhoids, intestinal gases, sexual impotence, headaches, excessive sunlight exposure and bronchial congestion.
  • Seat bath with water in temperature between 33 to 38° C. is beneficial, for example, against sensitive hemorrhoids, for muscular relaxation or sedative effect over the nervous system.
  • the bowl is not, as known, the suitable receptacle for this kind of therapy, despite of being used normally.
  • the use of bowl may be really extremely uncomfortable for certain types of people who thus are most needing this kind of therapy, that is, elder people, fatty or others who obviously have any health problem, for example, in case of bone fractures.
  • elder people, fatty or others who obviously have any health problem, for example, in case of bone fractures.
  • the chairs/benches have sustaining legs for seat plan, in the edge with special conformance involves a receptacle with water, the said chairs comprising frontal recesses to support the user's thighs, after sitting down and being accommodated.
  • the chairs/benches have a seatback to provide more comfort and can have or not have arms.
  • toilet basin In case of toilet basin, besides the anatomic edge, it comprises a contouring shoulder which allows, on one side, its coupling to the frontal edge of the toilet basin, and on the other, a support on the upper wall of the toilet basin, locking it in such manner to positioning it inside the receptacle, allowing the user to sit down and to use the toilet as sustaining base for seat bath.
  • the parts are especially projected to allow the user to sit down and to be accommodated with absolute comfort, independently of his physical limitations, being them fatty, elder, ill people, children and others, increasing the efficiency of the therapeutic benefits provided by the “seat bath” in total hygiene conditions because it can be manufactured of stainless steel, Polypropylene, ABS or other suitable materials.
  • the chairs/benches have legs projected with angle, comprising parts with recess forming rails along its height, combined and half round profiles, allowing perfect fitting between them to pile up one part over another.
  • the base due to its conformation allows overlapping units to pile up, making the transportation easier.
  • the base is manufactured in suitable size to adapt to the “standard” toilet basin, once the chairs can be dimensioned in various sizes, to meet the physical structures of the patients, being them fatty or not.

  • the “CHAIRS/BENCHES AND TOILET BASIN FOR SEAT BATH, FOR THERAPEUTICAL PURPOSES”, subject of the present claim of patent of invention, comprises a chair ( 1 ) with version ( 1 a ), and also a base ( 2 ), which are projected for therapeutic practices of “seat bath”.
  • the chairs/benches ( 1 ), ( 1 a ) and base ( 2 ) are formed from a seat plan ( 3 ), which edge ( 4 ) suffers a light inclination oriented to the lower end in order to limit the central receptacle ( 5 ), with walls ( 6 ) also inclined, with is oriented to the bottom end ( 7 ), closed, and both parts ( 1 ) and ( 1 a ) have pairs of recess ( 8 ) in the front portion of their seat plans ( 3 ).
  • the chair/bench ( 1 ) have legs ( 9 ) slightly bowed, projected from their arms ( 10 ) and have portions with recess forming rails ( 11 ) along their height.
  • the chair/bench ( 1 a ) for instance, have front legs ( 12 ) perpendicular to the seat plan ( 3 ) with half round rear profile ( 13 ), and the rear legs ( 14 ) are inclined to the rear side and have side portions in recess, also forming rails ( 15 ).
  • Both chairs/benches have seatback ( 16 ), also including fasteners ( 17 ), and the chair ( 1 a ) has only a seatback ( 16 ).
  • the base ( 2 ) has seat plan ( 3 ) with edge ( 4 ) equally inclined, converging to the walls ( 6 ) of the central receptacle ( 5 ), also comprising a closing bottom end ( 7 ), however its seat plan ( 3 ) is involved by an external contouring shoulder ( 18 ).
  • Such shoulder ( 18 ) is slightly inclined to the outside, and is more inclined in its frontal portion ( 19 ) in form of a gulley, the said shoulder ( 18 ) comprising side fasteners ( 20 ) and then, presenting a cut ( 21 ) to form the rear portion with the shape of a backstop strip ( 22 ).
  • the chairs/benches ( 1 ) and ( 1 a ) and base ( 2 ) are used to receive water in suitable temperature in their receptacles ( 5 ) and to allow, through the edges ( 4 ) of their seat plans ( 3 ), the user to sit down and to anatomically accommodating his gluteus, supporting the lower portion of his thighs on the frontal recess ( 8 ) (in case of chairs).
  • the user In this position, as specifically illustrated in FIG. 6 , the user will be sitting down on a relaxation point provided through the edge ( 4 ) allowing the opening of the genitalia, being able to rest or not against the seatback ( 16 ) or leaving his hands on the arms ( 10 ) of the chair/bench ( 1 ). Nevertheless, the user remains with his gluteus and genital region immersed in water or hydric solution of the receptacle ( 5 ) to make a seat bath accommodated with total comfort, provided through conformation of edges ( 4 ), as illustrated in FIG. 7 .
  • the chair/bench ( 1 ) can be piled up with other units, as illustrated in FIG. 15A .
