Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a toilet seat that is attached to a toilet bowl so as to be openable and closable.

[Conventional technology]

Traditionally, in hospitals, clinics, etc., toilets and sewage sinks were installed independently in rooms with patients who needed helpers or people with disabilities. Potties, diapers, etc. used by patients who cannot use the toilet or those with physical disabilities were washed in a waste sink, or in a toilet bowl in areas where a waste sink was not installed.

However, when the toilet bowl and the waste drain are provided independently, there are problems in that a large installation area is required, which makes it impossible to install in a narrow space, and the cost is also high. In addition, when washing dirty items such as a potty, diaper, etc. in the toilet bowl, the shape of the upper edge of the toilet bowl is approximately oval, and the opening is relatively narrow, so it is difficult to wash the dirty items such as the potty, diaper, etc. thoroughly. It was difficult.

Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the inventors of the present invention made the shape of the upper edge of the toilet bowl larger in diameter than conventional toilet bowls, and made it almost rectangular, thereby creating a toilet bowl that can also be used as a waste sink. devised.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

Toilet bowls having the above configuration have a problem in that the conventional oval toilet seat is inconvenient in terms of stability and contact surface with respect to the upper edge of the toilet bowl.

The object of the present invention is to provide a toilet seat that can be optimally applied to the toilet bowl according to the above-mentioned invention.

[Means and actions for solving problems]

The present invention is a toilet seat that can be opened and closed freely on a toilet main body with a wide opening, large enough to wash a toilet, etc. inside, and an almost rectangular planar upper edge. The toilet bowl has a substantially rectangular shape that follows the outline of the upper edge of the toilet bowl body, and its upper end surface is substantially flat. The toilet seat is characterized by being approximately half the width of the frontage, thereby making it possible to provide a toilet seat suitable for use with a toilet bowl that also serves as a waste drain.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of a toilet bowl equipped with a toilet seat of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the same toilet seat in an open state, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the - line in FIG. 2.

In the figure, 1 is the toilet bowl body, and 2 is the toilet seat.
A water tank 4 is fixed to the rear of the toilet main body 1, and the water tank 4 is
A lever handle 5 for cleaning the toilet bowl and a toilet seat stopper 6 for receiving the toilet seat 2 when the toilet seat 2 is opened are provided on the upper side of the toilet main body 1 side.

As shown in FIG. 1, the toilet bowl cleaning lever handle 5 and the toilet seat abutment stop 6 are provided in opposite directions with respect to the central plane of the toilet bowl body 1.

In addition, a substantially T-shaped waste washing faucet body 7 is erected at the rear of the toilet bowl body 1 and in front of the water tank 4,
A water discharge pipe 8 is attached to the faucet body 7 so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction within a vertical plane in the front-rear direction of the toilet body 1 and a plane parallel to the upper surface of the toilet body 1. In addition, the water discharge pipe 8
A spout 9 is attached to the tip of the toilet bowl, and the amount of water spouted from the spout 9 is adjusted by rotating a lever handle 10 for flushing the toilet bowl.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 1, the tip of the lever handle 5 for toilet bowl cleaning and the lever handle 10 for cleaning filth can be operated with the toilet seat 2 in the raised state. A lever handle 10 is arranged so as to protrude from the side of the raised toilet seat 2 when viewed from the front of the toilet bowl.

In addition, when the water spout pipe 8 is rotated horizontally with the toilet seat 2 raised, the water spout pipe 8 is inserted into the hole 2a of the toilet seat 2, and water is spouted from the water spout 9 into the toilet main body 1. , the faucet body 7 for cleaning filth.
, the length, shape, etc. of the water discharge pipe 8 are selected.

As mentioned above, the toilet main body 1 has an approximately rectangular upper edge 1a and a wide opening so that it can also be used as a waste drain.

The toilet seat 2 of the present invention corresponding to the toilet main body 1 is as follows:
Its outer periphery is approximately rectangular to correspond to the toilet main body 1, and an oval hole 2a is formed in the center. As is clear from FIGS. 1 and 2, the hole 2a drilled in the toilet seat 2 occupies an area whose widest length in the width direction is approximately half of the entire width of the toilet seat 2, and the hole 2a on the side of the hole 2a Provides a sufficiently wide and flat seating surface. Also, wide seating surfaces are formed on the front and back sides of the hole 2a. That is, in the toilet seat 2 of the present invention, the size of the hole 2a is the same as that used in a general toilet bowl, and the seating surface around it is expanded to a wide rectangular area. By widening the toilet seat 2 in this way, it is possible to stably install the toilet bowl main body 2, which has an enlarged rectangular shape. As shown in FIG. 3, bumpers 2b are attached to the back of the toilet seat 2 at multiple locations to reduce impact and noise when the toilet seat 2 is placed over the upper edge 1a of the toilet bowl body 1. The structure is designed to absorb the distortion of the pottery, which increases as the size increases.

In the present invention, as described above, the toilet seat 2 is made into a substantially rectangular shape, and the hole 2a is provided in the center thereof. Therefore, when combined with the toilet bowl main body 1 having a substantially rectangular upper edge, stability is improved. , also bumper 2
By providing b at multiple locations, the toilet main body 1
It can compensate for the distortion during firing of pottery due to the increase in size.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to the present invention, a highly stable toilet seat can be provided by being used in combination with the toilet bowl having the above-mentioned configuration, which can also be used as a waste drain. Furthermore, since the top surface of the toilet seat is substantially flat and has a wide seating surface, it can be used not only for people to sit on, but also for placing cleaning tools and the like when cleaning the inside of the toilet. Therefore, by placing paper or the like on the toilet seat in advance and placing cleaning tools such as a bucket on it, the cleaning tools can be handled cleanly without having to place them directly on the toilet floor.
