Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a buffer holding device for a toilet seat or a toilet bowl cover in a Western-style toilet bowl.

Conventional Western-style toilet seats and toilet bowl covers simply have their rear end pivoted, so if you let go of your hand while opening or closing it, it will fall suddenly and make a loud noise, and there is a risk that your hand may get caught. It was hot too. Furthermore, since small children are unable to fully operate the toilet seat and toilet bowl cover, they often end up urinating without opening the toilet seat, leaving the toilet seat dirty.

The purpose of this invention is to prevent the toilet seat and toilet bowl cover from falling suddenly by simply attaching it to the bracket of the toilet seat and toilet bowl cover currently on the market, and to be able to hold it stably at an intermediate opening angle even if it is not fully opened. It is an object of the present invention to provide a buffer holding device for a toilet seat or a toilet bowl cover in a Western-style toilet bowl, which has a simple structure.

This invention will be explained in detail below based on an embodiment shown in the drawings.Brackets 2, 2 are fixed to both sides of the rear upper end of the Western-style toilet main body 1, and the toilet is horizontally suspended on the brackets 2, 2. Mounting portions 4a, 4a of the toilet seat 4 protruding from the rear end thereof are pivotally attached to the hinge rod 3 so as to be openable and closable. Between the attachment parts 4a, 4a, the attachment part 5a of the toilet bowl cover 5 is pivoted so as to be freely openable and closable with the hinge rod 3 being inserted therethrough. The bracket 2 consists of a base part 2a, a mounting screw part 2b hanging downward from the base part 2a, and a bearing part 2c protruding upward from one side of the base part 2a. Insert the mounting screw part 2b into the mounting hole 1a of the toilet main body 1 as shown in the figure.
Insert it into the hole and pack it with nuts 6
It is fixed to the toilet bowl main body 1 via. Bearing part 2
The end of the hinge rod 3 is inserted into c, and a groove 9 is carved in the axial direction on one side of the outer periphery. Covering the bracket 2 is a holder 10, which includes an inner sleeve 11 covering the surface of the bracket 2 and an outer sleeve 12 having a plurality of ridges A and B extending in the axial direction.
The inner sleeve 11 is provided with a protrusion 11a extending in the axial direction, and a plurality of struts 1 are provided between the outer sleeve 12 and the inner sleeve 11.
By connecting with 3, 13..., the space 14,
14... are provided. Then, when attaching this holder to the bearing part 2c of the bracket 2,
While fitting the protrusion 11a into the groove 9, screw 1
5, the side wall 10a is fixed to the side surface of the bearing portion 2c. The raised parts A and B are the toilet seat 4 and the toilet bowl cover 5, respectively.
It has steep slopes a, b located in the closing direction, and gentle slopes a', b' located in the opening direction, and notches 16, 16 are provided in the side wall 10a.

On the other hand, protrusions 4b, 4b are provided outward from the mounting parts 4a, 4a of the toilet seat 4, and an eaves part 5b covering the upper part of the bearing part 2c of the bracket 2 is provided on the side where the mounting part 5a of the toilet cover 5 is provided. , 5b (only one is shown), and protrusions 5c, 5c are provided protruding from the lower end surfaces of the eaves portions 5b, 5b.

Now, when the toilet seat 4 and toilet cover 5 are closed, the protrusion 4b of the toilet seat 4 and the protrusion 5c provided on the eaves 5b of the toilet cover 5 are connected to the gently sloped parts a' and b' of the raised parts A and B. Located at the starting end, this part is the protrusion 4b
Since the protrusion 5c and the protrusion 5c are located only slightly outside the rotation locus, they are in weak pressure contact with each other. However, since the weight of the toilet seat 4 and the toilet bowl cover 5 are overwhelming, the toilet seat 4 and the toilet bowl cover 5 maintain the closed state. When the toilet cover 5 is first opened from this state, the protrusion 5c gradually strengthens the pressure contact with the gently sloped part b' of the raised part B, but...
When the gently sloped part b' bends and escapes, it opens, and when you release your hand beyond the gently sloped part b', the protrusion 5c engages and contacts the steeply sloped part b. The toilet bowl cover 5 is stably held without closing naturally.

When the toilet bowl cover 5 is further opened, the protrusion 5c slightly contacts the surface of the outer sleeve 12 of the holder 10 until the rear end abuts against the base portion 2a. Its angle is 110 degrees.

Next, when the toilet seat 4 is opened, the protrusion 4b is opened by gradually increasing the pressure contact between the protrusion 4b and the gently sloped part a' of the protrusion A, and the protrusion A is bent and depressed, and the protrusion 4b is raised. When you release your hand past part A, the protrusion 4b engages and contacts the steeply sloped part a' of the raised part A, and the frictional force exceeds the rotational torque of the toilet seat 4, so it stops stably at this position. do. Therefore, when a child or the like opens the toilet seat 4 to do some errands, the toilet seat 4 does not necessarily have to be fully opened, but it is stably held at an intermediate opening angle, so there is no fear that the toilet seat 4 will fall, making it easy to use. It is something. When the toilet seat 4 is further opened, it climbs over the protrusion B as described above, is stably held at the point where it gets over, and is further opened to the full extent.

Next, when the toilet seat 4 is closed, the protrusion 4b first contacts the protrusion B and then the protrusion A, overcomes this, and is completely closed. , A, and is buffered by the gently sloped part a', so
It will not close suddenly.

Next, when the toilet bowl cover 5 is closed, the protrusion 5c is stopped and held when it engages and comes into contact with the steeply sloped part b of the raised part B. When the toilet cover 5 is further pushed down and closed, the raised part B
dents and escapes, the protrusion 5c moves to the gently sloped part b', and reaches the starting end while gradually decreasing the frictional force.
The toilet cover 5 is quietly closed.

The provision of the spaces 14, 14, . 16
The provision of the ridges A and B facilitates the deformation of the ridges A and B.

As explained in detail above, this invention has a simple structure and can be attached to the existing bracket of a Western-style toilet to prevent the toilet seat or toilet cover from closing suddenly, so it can prevent the toilet seat or toilet cover from suddenly falling and making a loud impact noise. This will prevent your hands from getting caught, breaking, or getting your hands caught.

Furthermore, according to this invention, the toilet seat, toilet bowl cover, etc. are stably held at an intermediate opening angle, so there is no need to worry about them falling down by themselves and getting dirty with urine while the man is doing his errands.

Furthermore, according to this invention, the toilet cover is stably held at a small opening angle, so it can be used even by small children who are unable to fully open the toilet cover for small errands. It is something that can be played.
