Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a stool seat for facilitating nursing, where a nursed person is not required to float his/her back for wiping up after usage even for an O-type stool seat, by drilling a recessed groove in the back and forth direction in the upper surface of the front part of the O-type stool seat having a substantially egg shape in plan view. SOLUTION: This O-type stool seat 1 having a substantially egg shape in plan view is formed by laminating a polyurethane foaming body 12 with a high foaming inner layer and a low foaming skin layer on a reinforcing bottom plate 11 made of thermoplastic hard synthetic resin such as ABS. A recessed groove 13 is drilled in the back and forth direction in the upper surface of the front part of the O-type stool seat 1, and a substantially rectangular bearing portion 14 is projected at the rear end. Stool seat-fixing tools 2 formed by integrally connecting a set of columns 21 having a substantially triangular shape in plan view through a rectangular plate body 22 having a step are arranged at both longitudinal ends of the O-type stool seat 1. The bearing portion 14 is placed on a step portion of the rectangular plate body 22 having the step, a circular bar 3 is inserted through the columns 21 and the bearing portion 14, and thereby, the O-type stool seat 1 is journalled vertically rotatably.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] The present invention relates to a toilet seat.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an O-shaped toilet seat having a substantially oval shape in plan view is well known, and the toilet seat is covered with a toilet seat cushion made of an elastic material in order to improve the feel when the toilet seat touches the skin of the buttocks. This is also disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 57-68698.

[0003]

However, when used by a care-requiring person, even if the toilet seat is covered with a toilet seat cushion, in a case of an O-type toilet seat having no concave groove on the upper surface, the care giver can use the toilet seat after use. In order to perform the wiping, there is a problem that the care recipient needs to stand up.

[0004] The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems and solves the above problem.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a toilet seat that is easy to care for, such as a toilet seat that does not require a care-requirer to sit down for wiping after use.

[0005]

A toilet seat according to the present invention is an O-shaped toilet seat having a substantially oval shape in plan view, wherein a front-rear groove is formed on the front upper surface. I do.

The toilet seat according to a second aspect of the present invention is further characterized in that a synthetic resin foam in which the inner layer has a high foaming property and the skin layer has a low foaming property is formed on a reinforcing bottom plate. I do.

[0007] In the invention of claim 1, the material of the toilet seat is
The toilet seat is not particularly limited as long as it does not impair the feel when touching the skin of the buttocks and has the rigidity to withstand the load at the time of sitting, for example, on the reinforcing bottom plate, shape retention and cushioning at the time of sitting In order to achieve both, a laminate in which a synthetic resin foam having a high foaming inner layer and a low foaming skin layer is preferably used.

[0008] The material of the reinforcing bottom plate is not particularly limited. For example, a thermoplastic hard synthetic resin such as acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS), polypropylene (PP), and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) is preferable. Used for

The shape of the reinforcing bottom plate is not particularly limited. For example, protrusions for improving the adhesion and strength with the synthetic resin foam are provided between the inner and outer edges of the upper surface of the substantially egg-shaped plate and the middle thereof. The stripes may be provided at substantially equal intervals, or may be formed in a substantially flat Japanese cross section.

The material of the synthetic resin foam in which the inner layer has high foaming and the skin layer has low foaming is not particularly limited, and a closed-cell synthetic resin foam such as polyurethane or electron beam crosslinked polyethylene is preferably used.

The means for laminating the synthetic resin foam on the reinforcing bottom plate is not particularly limited. For example, a preformed reinforcing bottom plate is inserted into a mold, and the synthetic resin foam is secondarily formed. Alternatively, the reinforcing bottom plate formed in advance and the synthetic resin foam may be fixed to each other by means such as adhesion or fusion.

At the rear of the toilet seat, it is easy to attach to a normal toilet body, and for easy use, a fastener for fixing to the toilet body as commonly used and a rotation for opening and closing when used. It is preferable to provide a bearing or the like integrally.

[0013] In the first or second aspect of the present invention, the depth of the front and rear grooves formed on the upper surface of the front part of the toilet seat is not particularly limited. However, it is preferable that the thickness is about 2 cm so that the hand can be inserted and wiped, and the thin front portion is not easily damaged.

[0014]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the toilet seat according to the present invention, which is cut along the center in the longitudinal direction, FIG. 2 is a plan view of the toilet seat of the present invention shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is the present invention shown in FIG. FIG. 4 is a front side view of the toilet seat of the present invention shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the toilet seat of the present invention shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the toilet seat of the present invention shown in FIG.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes an O-shaped toilet seat having a substantially oval shape in plan view. A polyurethane foam 12 having a high foaming inner layer and a low foaming skin layer is placed on an ABS reinforcing bottom plate 11. It is formed from a laminated body.

As shown in FIG. 2, the front surface of the O-shaped toilet seat 1 has a front end width of about 15 cm and a rear end width of about 10 cm.
A front and rear concave groove 13 having a depth of 2 cm and a depth of 2 cm is provided, and a substantially rectangular bearing portion 14 is provided at the rear end thereof.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a toilet seat fixture in which a pair of columns 21 having a substantially triangular shape in a plan view are integrally connected to both ends in a longitudinal direction by a stepped strip-shaped plate 22. The O-shaped toilet seat 1 is rotatably mounted in the vertical direction by placing the bearing portion 14 on the step portion of the stepped strip-shaped plate member 22 and inserting the circular rod 3 through the column 21 and the bearing portion 14. ing.

When the toilet seat of the present invention is attached, a cylindrical support leg 23 vertically provided on the bottom surface of the toilet seat fixture 2 is inserted into a circular hole formed on the upper surface of the Western style toilet. It does not need complicated installation work.

[0019]

Since the toilet seat according to the first aspect of the present invention is configured as described above, it is not necessary for the care-requiring person to lift his / her waist for wiping after use after using the O-type toilet seat. Claim 2
Since the toilet seat of the invention of the present invention is configured as described above, it is possible to further achieve both rigidity, shape retention and cushioning at the time of sitting.
