20 invention patents that subvert the world

When decorating, the most troublesome thing is the bathroom. The bathroom is too small, and the toilet will get wet when taking a shower, so many people will choose to make a folding screen in the bathroom, unfold it when taking a shower, and fold it when not in use, which not only saves space, but also ensures the dryness of the toilet. But many folding screens are made of glass, which is easy to break and cause danger. Is there any way to save space and ensure easy use?

A foreign college student designed and invented a foldable toilet called "Lota" to solve this problem. The toilet is shaped a bit like a whistle or a conch. The toilet is supported by sliding hinges and rollers. The toilet can be folded up after use, and the space occupied by the folded toilet is only one third of that of the traditional toilet.

Folding toilets are no different from ordinary toilets in use. The design of the whole toilet is very round and smooth, which makes us feel very comfortable sitting on the toilet. The folding toilet adopts a unique U-shaped pipeline design and intelligent flushing system. U-shaped pipes are connected with sewers. After the toilet is finished, the intelligent flushing system will automatically start flushing. The small drain pipe is responsible for flushing the inner wall of the toilet, and the large drain pipe is responsible for flushing the excrement. Each flush volume is only 2.5 liters, which is more water-saving than ordinary toilets. For many housewives, cleaning is much less difficult.

When we fold the toilet, the link between the internal U-shaped pipe and the sewage pipe will be automatically broken. Flush pipe and the drain pipe are both hoses, which can be bent at will. The totally enclosed design will not let the smell in the toilet come out, which can be said to be very attentive.

It is precisely because of the practicality of the folding toilet that this invention was selected as "the greatest invention in the world" by one hundred authoritative experts and one thousand loyal readers of Focus magazine.

Gareth Humphreys and Elliott Whiteley, two students from the University of Huddersfield in the United Kingdom, developed this folding toilet, and they have applied for a patent. The price of folding toilets is around 800 yuan. Are you excited after reading this article?
