Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a seat type toilet having standing handrails on both sides of a toilet body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIG.
There are known seated toilets having handrails 3 erected on both sides of the toilet. In the seated toilet, the toilet body 1 is made of ceramic and has an opening recess 12 for defecation, and a support frame 20 is installed on the floor 5 around the toilet body 1. A handrail body 3 is provided at an upper end portion. In this case, when the user sits on the toilet main body 1 or stands up from now on, it can be easily operated by holding the handrail body 3.

[0003] However, in the seated toilet,
The support frame 20 becomes an obstacle on the floor 5 around the toilet body 1, which hinders especially when approaching with a wheelchair, and it is difficult to clean the floor 5 around the toilet body 1. However, there has been a problem that the area around the feet of the toilet body 1 does not fit in a neat appearance.

As shown in FIG. 6, there is also known a seating toilet in which a handrail body 3 is erected on a toilet seat 21 pivotally mounted on the toilet body 1. In the seated toilet, a pair of support bars 22 bent outward and upward is provided on the side of the toilet seat 21, and the handrail 3 is bridged between the upper ends of the support bars 22. In this case, although the above-mentioned problem is solved, the handrail body 3 and the support bar 22 move integrally with the toilet seat 21 and it is difficult to rotate the toilet seat 21 or the toilet seat 21 is erected on the toilet seat 21. The handrail body 3 has a low supporting strength, that is, the handrail body 3 is supported by a support bar 22 bent upward and outward to secure a seating space. Problem of insufficient strength to support
And so on.

[0007] As shown in FIG. 7, it is conceivable to improve the handrail body 3 on the upper surface of the toilet body 1, and in this case, the bolt 9 is provided on the upper surface plate 23 of the toilet body 1. The handrail 3 is provided at the upper end portion of the bolt 9 while being sandwiched and erected by the pair of nuts 10. Even in this case, it is necessary to support the body by holding the handrail 3. The problem that the strength is insufficient remains, and a new problem arises in that the seating space is narrowed by the handrails 3 on both sides.

[0006]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve all the problems in the prior art described above, and its object is to provide a wheelchair that is easy to clean because the surrounding floor surface is neatly cleaned.

The surrounding floor surface has a neat appearance and cleaning can be performed easily, and the toilet body can be approached without difficulty even in a wheelchair, so transfer between the wheelchair and toilet body is easy. It can be carried out.

Further, since the handrails are erected on the upper end surfaces of the protruding portions bulging outward on both sides of the toilet body, the distance between the handrails on both sides is increased, and the handrails are wide on the toilet body. A seating space can be secured. Further, since the outwardly bulging protrusion is formed over the upper and lower sides of the toilet body, the load applied to the handrail body erected on the upper end face of the protrusion is firmly on the floor surface via the protrusion. , The user can reliably support the body by holding the handrail body, and can safely and easily operate with the handrail body when sitting on or standing up from the toilet body.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided the seated toilet according to the first aspect, wherein the protrusion is formed in a hollow shape, a support is accommodated in the protrusion, and the support is provided. A lower end portion is supported on a floor surface, and a handrail body is erected and integrated on an upper end portion of the support.

Therefore, in this case, in particular, the support is accommodated in the hollow protruding portion so as not to impair the good appearance, and the lower end portion of the support is supported on the floor surface. In addition, the load applied to the handrail body standing upright and integrated on the upper end portion of the support body is more strongly received on the floor surface, and the support strength of the handrail body is increased.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided the seated toilet according to the second aspect, wherein a lower end portion of the support is screw-fixed to a floor surface, and the lower end portion of the support is attached to a lower portion of the projecting portion of the toilet body. An opening for screw fixing work is formed, and a lid that can be opened and closed is attached to the opening.

Therefore, in this case, in particular, since the lower end portion of the support is screwed onto the floor, the lower end of the support is prevented from shifting and a more reliable support state can be obtained. . In addition, since the opening for screw fixing work is formed below the protruding portion of the toilet body, the screw fixing work can be easily performed from the opening, and the opening is usually closed with a lid. You can put it in good format.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided the seated toilet according to the first aspect, wherein the handrail is formed in a box shape opened upward, and a through hole is formed in a bottom of the handrail. On the other hand, a bolt is projected and fixed to the upper end surface of the projection,
The bolt is inserted through the through hole of the handrail body, the handrail body is placed on the upper end surface of the protrusion, and a nut is screwed and tightened to the bolt from the upper opening of the handrail body, thereby forming the handrail. The body is erected and fixed on the upper end surface of the protruding portion, and a cover body that can be opened and closed is attached to the upper opening of the handrail body.

Therefore, in this case, in particular, the bottom of the box-shaped handrail is fixed on the upper end surface of the protruding portion with the bolts and nuts, so that a more reliable and strong support state is obtained by the handrail. be able to. Moreover, the bolts and nuts are housed inside the handrail body, and the upper opening of the handrail body is closed by a cover that can be opened and closed, so that a better appearance can be obtained.

[0016]
