Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] (a) Technical Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention concerns a moveable children's potty
training chair with the bottom-rinsing function, especially a
children's potty training chair design possessing extreme
sanitation and convenient usage.
[0003] (b) Description of the Prior Art
[0004] There are many kinds of children's potty training chair
structures seen on the market presently. Referring to FIG. 6 is a
kind of model; the said potty training chair (80) has a body (81).
The body (81) generally has cheery and lovable designs to attract
children's attention. There is a leading opening (82) in the body
(81), and a gathering basin (83), which can be drawn out installed
at the base of the leading opening (82). When children need to
defecate or is asked to defecate at fixed times, the action taken
will not be limited to inside the bathrooms due to the easily
moveable characteristic of the potty training chair (80), and
children may defecate sitting on the toy-like potty training chair.
In this case, it not only mean the grown-ups no longer have to
guard the bathrooms to keep an eye on children's defecation
conditions, but also increase children's interest in going to the
toilets, virtually cultivating their physical timely regularity in
going to the toilets.
[0005] Therefore, various designs of children's potty training
chair can be seen on the market at the choice of consumers.
However, the blemish in the otherwise perfect design is that in the
past or the present, the designed function of the potty training
chair is simply providing a mono function of the gathering basin
gathering excrement. But in truth, children encounter many
obstacles and problems when defecating. For example:
[0006] (1) With different diet habits, there are still some
children who will encounter obstacles in defecation. Especially
when children are mostly fond of high calorie food instead of food
such as vegetable and fruit, they in turn caused excrement to be
too hard. At times like these, even though children's attention
will be attracted by the potty training chair design, the
defecating pain will still cause children obstacle in defecation.
With the potty training chair having no other assisting functions,
there is no way to heighten its effectiveness.
[0007] (2) After children defecate, wiping tissue is still required
to wipe clean the ordure near the anus area But after defecation,
children still feel uncomfortable around the anus, if it is still
being wiped directly by dry wiping tissue, it will bring
uncomfortably painful feelings.
[0008] (3) Since the structure of the anus is more special, there
are often cases of ordure remaining in the creases of the anus
still after going to the toilet. If it is then wiped directly, not
only might there be unsanitary cases of not being wiped clean, but
also cause problems for the easy infection of germs.
[0009] Therefore, present children's potty training chair design
with mono function is not satisfying to children. Especially on how
to help children cultivate the habit of going to the toilet at
fixed times since young with a more relaxed and happy mind, there
is in fact much still needed in the present children's potty
training chair structure designs.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0022] In order for the examination committee members to better and
fully appreciate the structure and the characteristics of the
present invention, the following detailed description of the
present invention should be read in conjunction with the
accompanying drawings.
[0023] Referring to FIG. 1, the present invention potty training
chair has a toilet seat body shaped in one piece (10). With
matching reference to FIG. 2, the interior toilet seat body (10)
has a hollow design, with the center of the top forming a leading
opening (1). A sprinkle-nozzle (12) facing the leading opening (11)
is formed at the rear of the leading opening (11), and a backrest
(13) is formed in one piece with the toilet seat body (10) at the
rear top. When children sit on the toilet seat body (10), they may
rest their back against the backrest (13) and feel more
comfortable. A hollow piercing trough (14) is formed at the rear of
the toilet seat body (10), and a locking base (15) is formed each
on the two sides of the interior containing space (16) inside the
toilet seat body (10). A control base (16) is also formed on side
of the toilet seat body (10), with the power source dry battery
(161) and a rinsing button (162) installed on the control base
(16).
[0024] In the corresponding area of the piercing trough (14) and
the locking bases (15) on the two side, a gathering basin (20) is
installed. The said gathering basin (20) has a arc trough (21)
formed around the front brink that when the gathering basin (20)
pierces through the piercing trough (14), with the design of the
arc trough (21), it will not collide with the sprinkle-nozzle (12),
and the gathering basin (20) can enter the toilet seat body (10)
smoothly In addition, a water-storage tank (30) can be secured at
the bottom of the toilet seat body (10). Referring to FIG. 3, the
said water-storage tank (30) has a water inlet (31) and a stopper
(311) installed on one side that when water inside the
water-storage tank (30) is insufficient, water might be poured in
through the water inlet (31). A pumping motor (32) is installed on
the other side of the water-storage tank (30), and the circuit
diagram of the pumping motor (32) is as displayed in FIG. 4.,
wherein the dry battery (161) and the rinsing button (162) is each
being connected to circuits (312)(322), and the dry battery (161)
is then connected to the rinsing button (162) by circuit (323).
Moreover, the water outlet (33) of the water-storage tank (30) is
connected to the water inlet of the pumping motor (32) by duct

to the sprinkle-nozzle (12) with the conduit (332). Therefore, when
the rinsing button (162) is gently pushed, it will activate the
pumping motor (32) into action and pump out the water from inside
the water-storage tank (30), through the duct (331) and conduit
(332) and sprout through the sprinkle-nozzle (12).
[0025] Therefore, when children have to defecate or required to at
fixed times, the children can be seated on the toilet seat body
(10). Referring to FIG. 5, after defecation, the children can
gently push the rinsing button (162) by themselves, and water from
the water-storage tank (30) will sprout from the sprinkle-nozzle
(12). The sprouting water would not only rinse clean the anus, but
also the creases area around the anus. By then only a gentle wipe
with dry cloth is required to make it clean, and the bottom can be
relieved of the uncomfortable feeling of the wiping tissue wiping
the bottom As to children, it provides a sense of superiority and
interest of handling by themselves. Therefore, the whole design of
the present invention possesses the following effectiveness:
[0026] 1. When children cannot defecate smoothly, the rinsing
button may be pushed first. The water sprouted will provide a
massaging function and increase smoothness in defecation so that
children will be more willing to defecate at fixed times.
[0027] 2. Due to the help of the present invention design, children
no longer have to wipe their bottom with wiping tissue after
defecation. Therefore, not only will it not cause the uncomfortable
feeling, but germ-infection can also be lessened by it being able
to be rinsed cleanly.
[0028] 3. Since the present invention design possesses both the
effectiveness of easy to carry and able to place anywhere, it
better benefits the grown-ups of being able to take care of
children in defecation without having to go far. It really is an
amiable design possessing the quality of lightness and
convenience.

the model to increase children's fondness, but by increase in the
functions, it will also attract children's attention expecting to
reach the ultimate goal of training children to defecate at fixed
times.
[0030] 5. When putting the present invention to use in winter
times, warm water may be added to the water-storage tank, so
children can rinse their bottom with warm water.
[0031] Therefore, it is known from the abovementioned, the present
invention design can provide a children's potty training chair
possessing more practicability and more amiable. Thus, the present
invention design meets the application conditions for invention
