DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a toilet, and is used as a public, institutional, or residential toilet that is used for a physically handicapped person or as a general purpose toilet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional toilet of this type has a toilet seat disposed above a toilet bowl and a stage plate disposed around the toilet seat. The toilet seat is swingable with respect to the stage plate, and is kept substantially flush with the upper surface thereof. For this reason, when a disabled person uses a toilet, a step that hinders the outer periphery of the toilet seat has been considered to be easy to use without any change (actually 8-
No. 4520).

[0003]

However, in such a conventional toilet, since the toilet seat is installed separately from the stage plate so as to be swingable with respect to the stage plate, it is difficult to adjust the toilet seat flush with each other. If the hinge interposed between the toilet seat and the stage plate breaks down, or if the toilet seat swings,
A step is easily formed at the boundary between the toilet seat and the stage board, and as a result, it is not always easy for a disabled person to use the toilet seat and, consequently, the toilet.

[0004] It is an object of the present invention to eliminate the above disadvantages.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, a toilet according to the present invention includes a toilet having a toilet port and a stage plate having a toilet seat, the toilet being provided above the toilet port in the toilet. Because the stage plate is installed substantially horizontally and the toilet seat port is arranged above the toilet port in the toilet, that is, because the toilet seat and the stage plate are integrally formed in a planar shape, the conventionally generated toilet seat and stage plate There is no concept of a step at the boundary of.

If the stage plate can be pivoted between a substantially horizontal state with its rear end as the center and an obliquely upward state at the front end and can be fixed at an appropriate position of the swing, the stage plate can be fixed. When the toilet is lifted obliquely upward with its rear end as the center, the toilet and its surroundings are opened over a wide area, so that cleaning tools such as brushes and mops are easy to penetrate and move when cleaning. It is.

Further, if a cover plate is provided substantially vertically at the front end of the stage plate and this cover plate is connected to the front edge of the stage plate, the cover plate can be opened simultaneously with the stage plate. Therefore, the cleaning work efficiency is further improved.

1 is a perspective view of the stage plate driving mechanism in FIG. 1 as viewed in the direction of the arrow III. FIG. 4 is a diagram corresponding to FIG. 1 with the stage plate opened.

In FIGS. 1 and 4, W and W are walls. M is a toilet according to the present invention, which is arranged at a corner formed by the walls W, W. Reference numeral 10 denotes a toilet of the toilet M, and reference numeral 11 denotes a toilet port thereof.
Reference numeral 20 denotes a frame of the toilet M, and
It is installed around.

Reference numeral 80 denotes a frame plate, which is fixed in a state of being placed on the frame 20. Reference numeral 30 denotes a stage plate, which is placed on the frame 20 while being arranged inside the frame plate 80. Since the stage plate 30 is installed on the upper surface thereof so as to be substantially flush with the frame plate 80, it is easy to use because there is no step that obstructs the outer periphery of the stage plate 30 when a disabled person uses the toilet M. It is. The stage plate 30 is used by a person who uses the toilet M to put his hands, put his extended legs on it, or to lie down on his side or face down. A toilet seat 31 is formed above the toilet port 11 on the stage plate 30. This toilet seat opening 31 in the stage plate 30
Around function as a toilet seat 50. The toilet seat 50 protrudes toward the front end of the stage plate 30. This is because the toilet 10 protrudes from the frame 20 and the stage plate 30.

In FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, reference numerals 32, 32 denote front support levers, and front end pillars 21, 21 of the frame 20.
Are mounted to be swingable via pins 211 and 211. The front support levers 32, 32 extend rearward (of the stage plate 30) in a substantially horizontal state, and their front ends are pivotally mounted on the front of the back surface of the frame plate 30 via pins 212, 212. I have.

Reference numeral 33 denotes a rear support lever, which is swingably mounted on the rear cross rail 22 of the frame 20 via a pin 221 (see FIG. 2). The rear support lever 33 extends obliquely upward and rearward (of the stage plate 30), and its front end is provided with a pin 22 at the rear of the rear surface of the frame plate 30.
It is installed to be swingable via 2.

Therefore, when the front end of the stage plate 30 is lifted, the stage plate 30 swings clockwise (in FIG. 2) about the pin 222. Then, the front support lever
32, 32 swing counterclockwise about the pins 211, 211, and the rear support lever 33 swings counterclockwise about the pin 221. Thus, the stage plate 30 opens upward while moving forward (in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 2). Reference numerals 60, 60 denote dampers (hydraulic pressure, pneumatic pressure), which are installed between the vertical bars 23, 23 of the frame 20 and the front support levers 32, 32. The dampers 60, 60 attenuate the swing of the front support levers 32, 32 to prevent abrupt swing of the stage plate 30, and can be stopped at an appropriate position.

Next, in FIGS. 1 and 4, reference numerals 70, 70 denote front plates, which are vertically fixed to both front ends of the frame 20. 71, 71 are cover plates, and the front plate
70,70 are installed to be openable and closable via hinges 711,711. When the cover plates 71, 71 are opened, cleaning tools such as a mop, a brush and the like can easily enter the periphery of the toilet 10. Note that the cover plates 71, 71 are
The cover plates 71, 71 can be opened and closed simultaneously with the opening and closing of the stage plate 30, so that the cleaning work efficiency is improved. In addition, when you stand standing urine,
If the operation is performed while the stage plate 30 is lifted, it is possible to use the stage plate 30 without soiling it.

In this embodiment, the installation locations of the handrail, the washing tank, the toilet paper, etc. are not described, but include all cases considered as prior art.

The stage plate is not limited to a triangular shape, but may have any shape.
Further, the mechanism for swinging the stage plate is not limited to the mechanism described in this embodiment, and includes all conventionally conceivable mechanisms.

[0017]

The toilet according to the present invention comprises a toilet having a toilet port and a stage plate having a toilet seat,
Because the stage plate is disposed substantially horizontally above the toilet port of the toilet and the toilet seat is disposed above the toilet port of the toilet, that is, the toilet seat and the stage plate are integrally formed in a planar shape, The concept of a step at the boundary between the toilet seat and the stage plate, which has occurred in the past, has disappeared, and
When a disabled person uses a toilet, there is no obstacle around the toilet seat, and the toilet is essentially easy to use.

If the stage plate can be swung between a substantially horizontal state with its rear end as the center and an obliquely upward state at the front end and can be fixed at an appropriate position of the swing, the stage plate can be fixed. When the toilet is lifted obliquely upward with its rear end as the center, the toilet and its surroundings are opened over a wide area, so that cleaning tools such as brushes and mops are easy to penetrate and move when cleaning. It is.

Furthermore, if a cover plate is provided substantially vertically at the front end of the stage plate and this cover plate is connected to the front edge of the stage plate, the cover plate can be opened simultaneously with the stage plate.
