The invention addresses the challenge of assisting individuals who require caregiving when using a potty chair. Traditional designs restrict access to the user's buttocks, making it difficult for caregivers to clean them effectively. This issue creates discomfort for both the caregiver and the user, especially in tight spaces.
Core Features
- Dual Cushion Design: The chair features a fixed rear cushion and a movable front cushion. The cushions can separate, providing unrestricted access for cleaning.
- Adjustable Positions: A control device with foot pedals enables the front cushion to pivot between a sitting position and a standing assist position.
- User-Friendly Mechanism: The system uses a pneumatic-powered control pedal to operate smoothly, minimizing manual effort.
- Portable and Stable: Includes anti-tilt features, a sturdy frame, and wheels for mobility.
Benefits
- Enhanced Caregiver Access: Separation of the cushions ensures the user’s buttocks are exposed and unobstructed, simplifying cleaning tasks.
- Improved User Comfort: The pivoting mechanism aids users in standing without excessive physical effort or discomfort.
- Ease of Use: The intuitive pedal system allows operation by either the caregiver or the user.
- Safety and Convenience: The anti-tilt features and secure frame provide stability during use, reducing the risk of accidents.
This invention combines ergonomic design and functionality to offer a practical solution for caregivers and users, improving hygiene, dignity, and ease of use in caregiving scenarios.
