The design of the toilet is a utopian one because it aims to improve the cleanliness and sanitation of society.
This mechanism works to dispose human waste through a pipe that transports it to another location. Besides the usefulness of this product, the design of the product is an interesting concept. It is composed of a bowl and a tank.
In the tank sits liters of waters. When the toilet is flushed, water is released and more water is let back in. In other words, it is a system of exchange. Although the tank system may vary, there is usually a a valve that allows for water flow. For instance, you flush, the valve is pulled up by a chain, and water is exchanged. The bowl is most commonly made of ceramic, but can be made out of other materials such as metal. The toilet is usually mounted on the wall (wall mounted) and resides in the bathroom.
There exists cultural variations in the use of the toilet. In India, the toilet may be used in a squatting position. This squatting position is also used on Russian trains. In Japan, there is a variation of toilets, the oldest being the squat toilet. The squat toilet has a tank, but no bowl. Therefore, the waste is received in a hole that is implanted into the ground and transported through the tank. After World War II, western style toilets became more popular. Although this is the case, there are many more advantages in using a squat toilet. For example, it is easier to clean, less expensive, and there is no occurence of splashing from water in a toilet bowl. In addtion, it contributes to your health. Squatting can reduce possible hemorrhoids, it can prepare a preganant women for natural delivery, and it is beneficial for your puborectalis muscle and ileocecal valve.
The western toilet and squatting toilet are both beneficial in that they reduce waste, but the squatting toilet is better in ergonomic design.
