Figs. 11-16 show another embodiment of the present invention, which adopts and open-close pulling mechanism which, is the same as that of Figs. 1-10. The only difference is that the operation is initiated by seating pressing. Referring to Figs. 11-14. The toilet ware includes a case body 3, a shaped cavity 7 mounted on said case body, a seat ring 8 provided on said shaped cavity, a plastic bag cover (not shown) provided on the periphery of said case body, and open-close pulling mechanism mounted in said case body 3. At least an open- close pulling performing mechanism provided around the periphery of said plastic bag, which has a control rod 100 that may vertically glide. The seat ring 8 has its rear and hinged with said shaped cavity 7, said control rod 100 has its upper end against said ring 8, which is effected by a spring 110 mounted on said rod 100. The lower part of said rod 100 is connected to a transmission mechanism 101, which includes at least one gear wheel 102 movably fixed on said rod 100, a fixed rack joggled with said gear wheel 102 and a gliding gear wheel 104.

Figs. 15-16 shows another scaling structure including also a pair of upper sealing doors 41 and a pair of lower sealing doors 51, as well as springs 42 and 52 which may force said sealing doors to close. The difference is that on both sides of said case body there is symmetrically provided with a pair of open-close mechanism for sealing doors formed by fixed rack 103, movable rack 104, gear wheel 102 and control rod 100, wherein said upper and lower sealing doors arc connected to the upper and lower ends of movable rack 104 by ropes 111 and 112, so as to pull said sealing door to open and close. The next is description of the process of operation by reference to Figs. 1-5. When a man steps on said pedal 2, no matter whether he seats on said seat ring 8 or not, pedal 2 will rotate around point O. Crank 21 then overcomes the force of reset spring 12 and rotate in a counter clockwise way. Rope 22 in turn, under the function of spring 67, moves to the right side of Fig. 2 so as to consequently make chain 62 to rotate. Since there is a surpassing clutch provided between chain wheel 62 and pulling wheel 63, pulling wheel does not move when chain wheel 62 freely rotates. At the same time, crank 23 rotates clockwise bringing rope 24 to move leftward, pulling open upper sealing door 41. Lower sealing door 51 closes at function of spring 52. At this time there is a clean room for excrement. When one left pedal 2, reset spring 12 overcomes the force of spring 67 (the force of spring 12 is stronger than of spring 67) and pulls the plastic bag 10 containing excrement downward via pulling wheel 63 rotated by chain wheel 62, making shaped cavity 7 to be a clean room while upper sealing door41, activated by spring 42, overcomes the force of spring 52 and opens lower sealing door 51, making excrement fall into said excrement holding case, finishing one use of toilet. The using method is similar to that or other embodiments. The embodiment of the present invention as described above may evidently be varied within concept of the present invention, and all the variations are within capability of ordinary technicians as described by the appended claims.
