  • One of the known washing toilet seat apparatuses including a lifting mechanism is disclosed in JPH9-316976A. More particularly, the disclosed toilet seat apparatus includes the lifting mechanism for lifting the main body portion in an outside direction, a lateral direction, a rear direction, or an upper direction of the toilet bowl. By means of the lifting mechanism, the quite heavy main body portion can be moved without difficulty and yet in a safe manner.
  • the main body portion cannot be readily detached considering any possible falling of the main body portion and for improvement of safety.
  • the main body portion may necessarily be detached for checking inside thereof or for draining water from the tank in order to prevent freeze in a condition where the toilet seat apparatus is not used for a long period of time. Under such circumstances, entire washing toilet seat is detached by loosening a fixing bolt and a nut, by which the base portion is fixed to the toilet bowl main body. Because detachment and reattachment of the main body portion may necessarily be performed within a limited space located below a lower tank at a rear side of the toilet bowl, the detachment and reattachment of the main body portion may occasionally be difficult and may require careful attention.
  • a toilet seat apparatus includes a base portion adapted to be fixed on a toilet bowl, a main body portion detachably mounted on the base portion, a toilet seat rotatably supported by the main body portion, a guide groove formed at the base portion and extending in a backward and forward direction of the toilet bowl and having an opening portion at a front side thereof, and a pin provided at the main body portion, the pin being inserted into the guide groove for allowing the main body portion to slide relative to the base portion, rise from the base portion, and to detach from the base portion.
  • a method for assembling a toilet seat apparatus includes the steps of arranging the main body portion at a front side of an upper surface of the toilet bowl, pushing the main body portion rearward of the base portion until the pin reaches the guide groove through an opening portion of the guide groove, pushing the main body portion rearward of the base portion so that the pin slides along the guide groove to finally reach a closing portion of the guide groove, and fixing the main body portion to the base portion.
  • the main body portion can be detached from the base portion in a safe manner by means of a simple operation such as moving the main body portion in the backward and forward direction. Further, in a condition where the toilet seat apparatus is provided with opening and closing means, which allows and restricts attaching and detaching operations of the main body portion, and a biasing member, which maintains restriction of the attaching and detaching operations of the main body portion, the attaching and detaching operations of the main body portion can be performed in safe and reliable manner because the main body portion is not detached at the time of normal use and cleaning.
