Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fixing structure which is difficult to generate a positional deviation of a toilet seat. SOLUTION: An anti-slipping member L is integrally provided in the whole or a part of the lower surface of a head part 1a in a bolt 1 for fixing a fixing member to a toilet stool W. The member L is made of a material which is large in the sliding friction resistance and is elastic to some degree such as a synthetic resin, synthetic rubber, natural rubber. The member L is adhered with an adhesive or a sticking agent or integrated at the time of molding. Since sliding friction between the bottom plate part 10 of the fixing member and the bolt 1 is increased by providing the member 1, a positional deviation is bolt generated easily through forward and backward force is applied to the toilet seat when a user takes or leaves the toilet seat. Consequently, the positional deviation of the seat can be prevented in spite of using a quick nut which is difficult to obtain a large fastening torque.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improved structure for attaching a toilet seat to a toilet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 4, in order to mount a toilet seat S on a toilet W, a structure in which a mounting member T for supporting the toilet seat S so as to be swingable is fixed to an upper surface of the toilet W with bolts 1 is conventionally used. Has been adopted. As the bolt 1, a rectangular head having a head 1a is used. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, an elongated opening 11 having a longitudinal direction in the front-rear direction is formed in the bottom plate 10 of the mounting member T. ing. And the head 1a of the bolt 1
When the longitudinal direction is adjusted to the longitudinal direction of the opening 11, the dimensional relationship is set so that the bolt head 1 a can be inserted into the opening 11.

The mounting member T is fixed to the toilet W by means of a bolt 1
The head 1a of the bottom plate 10 of the mounting member T with the opening 1
1 and then rotated 90 ° to engage with the upper surface of the bottom plate 10 as shown in FIG. Then, after the bolt 1 temporarily mounted on the bottom plate portion 10 of the mounting member T is inserted through the mounting hole H of the toilet W via the washer 2, the hemispherical packing 3 and the washer 4 are fitted into a portion protruding downward. And the nut 5 is screwed and tightened to attach the mounting member T to the toilet W
The toilet seat S is swingably mounted on the toilet W by being fixed on the toilet W. At this time, the bottom plate portion 10 of the mounting member T
Since the opening 11 is elongated in the front-back direction, the mounting member T can be adjusted by moving the mounting member T back and forth so that the position of the toilet seat W is optimized. In the illustrated example, a quick nut 5 that can be tightened without using a tool is used as the nut 5.

[0004]

When the user sits on the toilet seat S mounted on the toilet W as described above, and when the user stands up from the toilet seat S, the force in the front-rear direction is used. Works. However, the bottom plate 10 of the mounting member T
Since the opening 11 formed in the hole 11 has a long hole shape extending in the front-rear direction, the mounting member T may move in the front-rear direction due to the force in the front-rear direction, which may cause a displacement of the toilet seat S. In particular, when a quick nut 5 as illustrated in FIG. 4 is employed as a nut for fixing a bolt, it is difficult to apply a large tightening force because the tightening operation is performed with bare hands without using a tool. There is a problem that misalignment is easily caused.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a mounting structure in which the toilet seat is hardly displaced. The feature of the present invention is that a mounting member for supporting the toilet seat so as to be able to swing is provided by a bolt. It is fixed to the toilet bowl, and a slot-shaped opening through which the head of the bolt is inserted is formed in the bottom plate portion of the mounting member, and a non-slip member is integrated with at least one of the opening and the head of the bolt. It has been provided.

In the mounting structure, the non-slip member can be provided integrally with the head of the bolt. Alternatively, the anti-slip member may be provided integrally with the opening of the bottom plate of the mounting member.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS [First Embodiment] In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, a head of a bolt 1 for fixing an attachment member to a toilet W is used as means for preventing a displacement of a toilet seat attached to the toilet. A non-slip member L is integrally provided on the lower surface of 1a. It is desirable that the anti-slip member L has a large surface sliding friction resistance and a certain degree of elasticity, and examples of the material include synthetic resin, synthetic rubber, and natural rubber. In addition, the non-slip member L is a bolt head 1a.
Is desirably provided on the entire lower surface, but may be provided as a part. In order to integrate the non-slip member L with the bolt head 1a, besides a method of attaching with an adhesive or an adhesive, when the bolt 1 is made of plastic, the non-slip member L is previously inserted into a molding die. By arranging them, a method of integrating them during molding can be considered.

Since the anti-slip member L is integrally provided on the lower surface of the head 1a of the bolt 1, the sliding friction between the bottom plate 10 of the mounting member and the bolt 1 increases. Therefore, the bolt 1 is fixed to the toilet W, and the bottom plate portion 10 of the mounting member is not easily slipped with respect to the head 1a of the bolt 1. However, even if a force in the front-rear direction is applied, the position of the mounting member is less likely to move. Therefore, even if a quick nut that does not easily apply a large tightening torque is used to fix the mounting member to the toilet, it is possible to prevent the toilet seat from being displaced.

[Second Embodiment] As means for preventing displacement of the toilet seat, as shown in FIG. 2, a bolt 1 having a head 1a covered with a non-slip member M is used to secure the bottom plate 1 of the mounting member.
A structure in which 0 is fixed to the toilet W may be adopted. In the case of this example, the non-slip member M can be integrated simply by fitting it to the bolt head 1a. Of course, it does not prevent adopting a method of sticking the non-slip member M to the bolt head 1a using an adhesive or a pressure-sensitive adhesive, or adopting a method of being integrated at the time of molding.

Third Embodiment FIG. 3 shows an example in which the non-slip member N is provided not on the bolt 1 but on the opening 11 side formed in the bottom plate 10 of the mounting member. In the present embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which the non-slip member N is formed in substantially the same shape as the opening 11 of the bottom plate 10, and a groove formed on the side peripheral surface thereof is fitted to the opening edge 11 a of the opening 11. . The work of fitting the non-slip member N to the opening edge 11a of the opening 11 may be performed prior to the assembly of the mounting member.
With this configuration as well, the sliding friction resistance of the bottom plate portion 10 of the mounting member with respect to the bolt head 1a can be increased, so that even when a force is applied to the toilet seat, the mounting member is prevented from being displaced with respect to the bolt 1. .

The embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and does not prevent the present invention from being appropriately changed depending on the state of implementation.

[0012]

According to the present invention, displacement of the toilet seat can be reliably prevented with a simple structure. Moreover,
Since the present invention can be applied to existing members without any particular change, it is possible to improve a conventional product at low cost.
