DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable toilet having a height adjustable.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. In the portable toilet (31) shown in the figure, the legs (3
3), and each leg (33) has a cylindrical upper leg (33).
A) and a rod-shaped lower leg (33B) slidably inserted into the upper leg (33A), and the lower leg (33B) is fixed by a fixing screw (34). The toilet (31) can be adjusted to a desired height according to the user's body shape in this manner (Japanese Patent Publication No. 5-38619). ). FIG. 5 shows a further conventional example. In the portable toilet (41) shown in the figure, legs (43) are protruded from the four corners of the bottom surface of the toilet body (42), and the lower end of each leg (43) has a screw ( 45) is screwed.

[0003]

In the prior art shown in FIG. 4, a fixing screw (34) is screwed to the upper leg (33A) from the side.
The fixing screw (34) is tightened, and the tip of the fixing screw (34) is pressed against the lower leg (33B) inserted into the upper leg (33A) to fix the lower leg. The fixing force applied to the portion (33B) is not sufficient, and the fixing screw (34) may be loosened. In the conventional example shown in FIG. 5, since the rotation of the grounding member (44) is not restricted, there is a problem that if the grounding member (44) rotates freely, the height fluctuates and is not stable.

[0004]

According to the present invention, as a means for solving the above-mentioned conventional problems, screw holes (16) are provided at three or more places on the bottom of the toilet body (2), and each screw hole (16) is provided. Is screwed to a desired depth from a leg (9) and a fixing nut (23) is screwed to a root end to a desired depth, and the fixing nut (23) is tightened to tighten the screw. A portable toilet (1) having a leg (9) attached to the bottom surface of the toilet body (2) so as to be adjustable in height by fixing the (22) to the screw hole (16) in a screwed state. Things. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the screw hole (16) of the toilet body (2) has an open upper end, and the screw (22) of the leg (9) is open.
Is threaded through the screw hole (16), and there is a mode in which a notch (25) for preventing the screw rod (22) from coming off is attached to the upper end.

[0005]

[Action] Each screw hole (16) on the bottom of the body (2) of the portable toilet (1)
The screw (22) of the leg (9) is screwed into the arm and adjusted to a desired height (screw-in depth). If the fixing nut (23) is tightened in this state, the screw (22) of the leg (9) is firmly and stably fixed. In the portable toilet (1) of the present invention, the height can be adjusted according to the body shape of the user, or the height of the front leg (9) and the rear leg (9) can be changed. Can be tilted or tilted backwards.

[0006]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described with reference to an embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 by describing a toilet body (2) of a portable toilet (1).
Comprises an outer container (4) having an opening (3) on the upper surface;
A stool container (5) inserted into the opening (3) of (4) from above,
A toilet seat (7) and an upper lid (8) pivotally attached to a rear upper edge of the outer container (4) via a hinge (6), and
At four corners of the outer container (4) of (2), leg attachment portions (10) to which the leg portions (9) are attached are provided.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, each leg mounting portion
In (10), a screw sleeve (12) is inserted from below. The screw sleeve (12) has an engagement flange (13) formed on the upper edge, a large diameter portion (15) formed with a plurality of chuck grooves (14) from the upper edge, and a screw hole (16) formed on the inner periphery. ) And a screw cylinder portion (18) on the outer periphery of which a plurality of spacers (17) are formed.

On the other hand, a screw (22) is extended from the upper end to the leg (9), and a fixing nut (23) is screwed from the upper end to the screw (22) to the root end. (22) is the screw sleeve
It is screwed through the screw hole (16) of the screw cylinder (18) of (12). A plate (24) having a notch (25) is secured to the upper end of the screw rod (22) by a screw (26) to prevent the notch from coming off.

[0009] As described above, the leg portion via the screw rod (22).
The screw sleeve (12) to which (9) is attached is inserted from below into the inside of the leg attachment portion (10), and the engaging flange (1
3) is passed through the opening (11) of the leg attachment part (10). In this case, the upper edge portion of the large diameter portion (15) elastically reduces its diameter via the chuck groove (14). Then, after engaging the engaging flange (13) on the upper edge of the large diameter portion (15) with the engaging step (19) on the peripheral edge of the leg mounting portion (10), the opening (11) is closed with the lid ( When closed by 20),
The annular flange (21) of the lid (20) fits tightly on the upper end of the large diameter portion (15) of the screw sleeve (12), and the upper edge portion of the large diameter portion (15) passes through the chuck groove (14). To prevent elastic deformation in the diameter reduction direction. In this way, the screw sleeve (12) is
It is mounted and fixed in the leg mounting part (10) of (2).

In the portable toilet (1) of this embodiment, the height is adjusted by turning each leg (9) by hand to adjust the degree of screwing of the screw (22) into the screw sleeve (12). Is adjusted, and the fixing nut (23) is manually turned and tightened at the desired height.

[0011]

According to the present invention, it is easy to adjust the height of the portable toilet according to the user's body shape and preference, or to incline the toilet forward and backward, thereby keeping the upper surface of the toilet horizontal even on an inclined floor. I can do it. And the adjusted height is stably maintained by fixing with the fixing nut,
It does not fluctuate depending on the weight of the user.
