Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention relates to a dew-proof cover for preventing dew condensation from forming on the surface of a Western-style toilet bowl. Moreover, it has been improved so that it can be removed freely if necessary.

[Conventional technology]

Usually, Western-style toilets are provided with a water storage part in which flush water is stored to form a trap part. Therefore, since the toilet bowl and the drain wall are cooled by the stored flushing water, condensation is likely to form on the sides of the toilet where the outer surfaces of the toilet bowl and the drain wall come into contact with the outside air.

In order to prevent dew condensation, conventionally, the sides of the toilet bowl are covered with a heat insulating cover. Figures 2 a to 2 d show a situation in which a conventional heat insulating cover is attached to a Western-style toilet bowl. In the following explanation, left and right refers to the sides corresponding to the left and right of the front view (a) and the top and bottom of the plan view (d), and front and back refers to the left side view (b) and the top view (d). The sides corresponding to the left and right in Figure d) and the upper and lower sides refer to the sides corresponding to the upper and lower sides in the front view (a), left side view (b), and rear view (c), respectively.

The heat insulating cover 22 is made by bending a sheet-like member having heat insulating properties into a substantially U-shape, and the inner surface shape is similar to that of the toilet bowl 2.
The side surface shape of No. 1 is approximately the same as that of No. 1. The heat insulating cover 22 is made of a flexible or deformable member that can bend the distance between the right arm portion 22a and the left arm portion 22b to an extent that can be adjusted according to the width dimension of the toilet bowl 21.

To attach the heat insulating cover 22 to the toilet bowl 21, the toilet bowl 2 is attached between the right arm section 22a and the left arm section 22b.
After attaching the toilet bowl 21 from the rear by sandwiching the heat-insulating cover 22 and positioning the heat-insulating cover 22,
An adhesive or caulking agent is applied to the peripheral edge 23 of the toilet bowl 21 to fix it to the toilet bowl 21.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

Since the heat insulating cover 22 is fixed to the toilet bowl 21 with adhesive or caulking, once it is attached, it is very difficult to remove it. Therefore, when attaching the heat insulating cover 22 to the toilet bowl 21, it is necessary to ensure precise positioning and uniform application of adhesive, etc., and these operations require a great deal of effort and skill. So,
It wasn't something that anyone could do easily. Moreover, even if a positional shift of the heat insulating cover 22 is noticed after it has been fixed with adhesive, it is almost impossible to correct it. Furthermore, a heat insulating cover 2
There is also an inconvenience that it is not possible to easily replace the 2 when it becomes obsolete or dirty.

[Means for solving problems]

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention makes it possible to attach a dew-proof cover to a toilet bowl in a detachable manner. The feature is that the dew-proof cover is made of an outer layer made of a heat insulating material placed to surround the side of the toilet with an appropriate gap, and an elastic member interposed between the outer layer and the side of the toilet. The outer layer agent is held on the side surface of the toilet bowl by filling the gap between the outer layer agent and the side surface of the toilet bowl with the air bladder that is inflated after injecting gas.

[Effect]

An air sac is interposed between the outer layer material of the dew-proof cover and the side of the toilet bowl, and by injecting air into the air sac and inflating it, the gap between the outer layer material and the side of the toilet bowl is filled. Regardless of the shape of the toilet, the side surface of the toilet bowl is watertightly covered to cut off contact with the outside air.

A heat insulating layer of gas such as air is formed between the outer layer material made of heat insulating material and the side of the toilet bowl, so
The insulation effect increases.

By maintaining the internal pressure of the air bag at a state slightly higher than atmospheric pressure, the dew-proof cover is pressed against the side of the toilet bowl.

〔Example〕

1a to 1f show an embodiment of the present invention. In the following explanation, left and right refers to the sides corresponding to the left and right of the front view (a) and the top and bottom of the plan view (d), and front and back refers to the left side view (b) and the top view (d). The sides corresponding to the left and right in Figure d) and the upper and lower sides refer to the sides corresponding to the upper and lower sides in the front view (A), left side view (B), and rear view (C), respectively.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a toilet bowl, and 2 is a dew-proof cover attached to the toilet bowl 1, which is composed of an outer layer material 3 and an air bag 4.

The outer layer material 3 is made of a heat insulating member formed in a shape that hugs the side surface of the toilet bowl 1. In this embodiment, the outer layer material 3 is a pair of left and right outer layer material halves 3a, 3b.
These are connected at the rear by connecting means 5 such as bolts 5a and nuts 5b.
A structure was created in which the toilet bowl 1 is held by joining the toilet bowl 1 with the toilet bowl 1.

The outer layer material 3 has appropriate rigidity so as not to be deformed by the repulsive force received from the air bladder 4 interposed between the toilet bowl 1 and the outer layer material 3. Examples of such a heat insulating member for the outer layer material include foamed urethane resin, foamed vinyl chloride resin, and the like.

The air bladder 4 is made of a material with high elasticity and stretchability, such as a soft rubber material. The air sac 4 has a gas such as air sealed therein and is capable of elastic deformation. Therefore, the surface of the air bag 4 deforms smoothly according to the shape of the toilet bowl 1, and covers the surface to which it is attached in a watertight manner. The air bladder 4 also has the function of supporting and fixing the outer layer material 3 by bringing its surface into close contact with the inner surface of the outer layer material 3. That is, since the air bladder 4 fills the gap between the toilet bowl 1 and the outer layer material 3, the outer layer material 3 is supported by the internal pressure of the air bladder 4 and is fixed to the side surface of the toilet bowl 1.
In this embodiment, the air sac 4 and the outer layer material 3 are configured separately, but they may be attached together using a suitable adhesive, or the air sac 4 may be attached to the inner surface of the outer layer 3.
Of course, other changes such as forming them integrally are also possible.

Condensation-proof cover 2 having the structure as explained above
To attach the to the toilet bowl 1, first, with the air bag 4 interposed between the toilet bowl 1 and the outer layer half body 3a,
3b are arranged on both the left and right sides of the toilet bowl 1 so as to hold the toilet bowl 1, and the bolts 5a and nuts 5b
The left and right outer layer material halves 3a and 3b are joined at their rear portions by, for example, the left and right outer layer halves 3a and 3b. In this case, a gas such as air may be sealed in the gas bag 4 in advance, or a gas such as air may be supplied into the gas bag 4 after the outer layer material 3 is disposed, and the gas bag may be expanded to a predetermined volume. Good too. In any case, the air bladder 4 fills the space between the toilet bowl 1 and the outer layer material 3 without leaving any gaps, so as to watertightly cover the surface of the toilet bowl 1 to which the toilet bowl 1 is attached, and at the same time prevent the outer layer material 3 from easily separating from the toilet bowl 1. Fixed to.

Furthermore, in order to remove the dew-proof cover 2 from the toilet bowl 1, it is sufficient to simply discharge the internal gas from the air bladder 4. Therefore, the dew-proof cover can be easily removed whenever it becomes dirty or obsolete and needs to be replaced.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. For example, the air bladder 4 does not necessarily need to be interposed over the entire circumference of the inner surface of the outer layer material 3, and may be interposed only at a desired portion between the outer layer material 3 and the toilet bowl 1, if desired.

In the above embodiment, the outer layer material 3 was divided into two parts, but
It is also possible to divide this into three or more parts.
It is also possible to form them integrally. However, when integrally molded, the left and right opening dimensions of the outer layer material 3 must be larger than the maximum width dimension of the fitted portion of the toilet bowl 1, or the outer layer material 3 must be able to bend and deform according to the dimensions of the toilet bowl 1. is desirable.

[Effect of idea]

With the present invention, the dew-proof cover can be installed reliably and can be removed freely if necessary, so when it becomes dirty or obsolete, it can be replaced with a new one immediately. Furthermore, even if a positional shift occurs when the toilet is installed on the toilet, it can be corrected immediately.

Regardless of the shape of the side surface of the toilet bowl, the surface of the air sac is in close contact with the side surface of the toilet bowl, cutting off contact with the outside air. Therefore, condensation can be reliably prevented regardless of the type of toilet bowl.

Furthermore, since no skill is required to attach the dew-proof cover, anyone can easily attach the dew-proof cover.
