Today afternoon with fire you will not find the toilet old design with a special shelf, as in Soviet times, such a miracle of consumer goods have been equipped with all Khrushchev polls. But everything flows and changes, and modern models are available already with funnel type bowl. For what it was intended shelf in vintage toilets sample of the last century, and whether it was from this some benefit?

People born in the XXI century, unaware of what design toilet seat in question. Meanwhile, bowls of all Soviet designs were not sloping, and with a kind of shelf, where we collected human waste products before their flushed into the sewer pipe.
Just not worth it, not understanding, blaspheme the good old pedestal for excrement, because the bowl of this design had not only disadvantages but also certain advantages.
What are its functions
At first glance it may seem that the shelf inside the toilet could perform only one function - to facilitate the collection of a stool sample.But the Soviet constructors were not stupid and short-sighted. Creating a horizontal surface in the toilet bowl, they tried to thereby reduce the amount of bacteria, along with the splatter flying during toilet flushing.
In what was then the harsh reality when the flats were mainly small-sized, and the bathroom in order to save space is combined with a private bathroom, this measure was well founded. A person clicks on the discharge of water, and if the toilet is a funnel-shaped, the spray flying in all directions, and toiletries bacteria in extreme quantities fill a space within a radius of two meters.
And here there and towel dried, and toothbrushes with toothpaste in a cup in the sink stand. And all of these things lend themselves to attack harmful bacteria, and through them briefly and tenant apartments to pick up some kind of not a good infection.
And do not think that ultra-modern design with antivspleskom able to protect you from this trouble. What a difference a good old shelf. Though she and costly water for flushing and Yorshik have to wield a few times more, but sprayed almost nothing will.
Although not all so rosy. From the ubiquitous bacteria from the toilet pedestal tenants can, and defended, but the water frequently stands on the ledge itself, which was fraught with odors, rust and no matter how strange it sounds, the cause of the multiplication of the most harmful bacteria in emergency pace.
Are there any positive aspects
An important advantage of the Soviet-designed toilet was that dropping an object into the toilet, thanks to the shelf, it can be easy to get back.But if, for example, a mobile phone will fail in the modern funnel, you did that get stuck with the hand to the elbow in the hole, saving your favorite gadget. And then without the help of rescuers you just do not get.
Thirty years ago, such a problem as the toilet mobilka, There just could not be, since the phones were fixed and cumbersome. Such unit to the toilet is not donesosh due to limitations in the length of the wire, and if donesosh, do not drown because of the large size. And if you drop it in a bowl of something smaller - there is a ring or other object, then, thanks to the shelf, fished it out easily. In an era of shortages every thing was on the account, and can not be allowed to swallow her ruthless "mouth" sewer.
For whatever reason modern manufacturers refuse this modification
Despite some advantages of such a structure toilets had gradually abandoned in favor of the funnel. Apartments were built large size, a bathroom with a bathroom to share, so the "catch" bacteria when flushing the toilet was no longer necessary. And in the modern toilets, these pests do not accumulate in such quantities as before.
The tendency to combine again with en-suite bathroom, emerging in recent years, it would seem, is designed to return the bowl with a pedestal in their old place. But only very few people are looking for selling old model, and the majority of consumers prefers modern designs.
After all, no one wants to constantly wield Yorshik to clean the uncomfortable, ever pollute the shelf. And the problem of saving water with the installation of water meters has become more than relevant, and with the funnel toilet washed out much better with less life-giving water.
It turns out that the toilet old design allows you to fight the bacteria better than the current bowl. But on the other hand, he himself provokes the development of these bacteria in immense quantities. Therefore, and we decided to abandon the toilets with a shelf in favor of the funnel-shaped bowl. And you are free to decide which of the two designs is suitable for you personally.
Article illiterate with shelf washed off better than modern toilets
Strange article... If you look Contemporary manufacturers, there is a lot of toilet bowls is a shelf.
Current toilets, almost all sitting on a splash drops... And if a man useful "splashes out of the toilet?" I have the opinion that modern toilets - a wrecking for humans. After all, someone has received the award for "rac offer" new toilets... And for E. coli with a splash of flying on a sitting... What a shame not to look at what happened... So it is not necessary to take food! It is better to disinfect the toilet, than to treat the person from cystic and intestinal bacteria bursts of flying modern toilets. I do once "dig", who is this pest, which approved the production of modern "bakterievsplesknyh 'toilets?
Especially nice when you sit on the toilet, doing their own affairs, and falling down the poop, you on the ass fly spray a mixture of water, urine and ekstrementov! Last year I was the toilet, so installed a shelf.
In today's - "return" constant. The more your "larva" - the more splashing. Asyuseniya unpleasant. In older designs of such may not be.
And what about the "why have removed" - it's easier to manufacturer. Buy cheap equipment, rivet shabby devices without shelves - and rivet this abomination.
And yes, the specimen collection is now - this is another adventure!
Continuing the thought of the author:
1. In older models the flow of water was not around the rim of the toilet bowl and on the back wall. Shelf prevented direct runoff water into the sewer. Dynamic flow thus bathed all walls. If the tank is suspended high, rarely used a brush.
2. the toilet bowl was created with a narrow opening into the sewer drain, to better use the plunger was. Today, well-arranged drain sewerage system has allowed us to forget about this a compulsory subject in the toilet. But if suddenly happens that way without this tool - it will not be as effective with new models than the old.
3. If you disable the cold water in the apartment (or around the house), on the "shelf" can be put toilet paper, to make a "dirty business" and rinse with less water than in modern toilets. Better, of course, put a piece of paper always, even when the water is.
4. Complement all this unpleasant splashing during... hmm... "execution"))) And this is the main reason for the shelves.
"The Soviet designers were not stupid and short-sighted!"
The main drawback of this funnel toilet splash back of urine and feces on the skin and does not spray when flushing. By the way, as far as I've read, this toilet was invented in England, and he was the first in history. With shelf invented then.
Shelf bea... This type of bowl is called the plate, and the current-funnel.
One puzzling with designers, they do not sit on their toilet, do not spray it in the ass of their offspring.
