The cross section of the auxiliary plate is curved inward. Flashings protruded forward and inward are provided at both the right and left ends of the auxiliary plate. A locking member is provided on the back side of the hinge section of the guide plate so that the guide plate is formed into a dog-legged shape in an obtuse angle against the auxiliary plate.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement of a toilet that is used for both toilets and urinals (so-called Western-style toilets). It also relates to a Western-style toilet that can comfortably pee.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent housing circumstances, the space available for toilets in a living area is extremely narrow, and it is difficult to install a urinal for men separately from a toilet for stools. It is common to install only toilets (Western style toilets).

[0003] Since a normal urinal for men is installed at a relatively high position on the wall surface and opened in the front direction, it is not necessary to pay special attention when urinating. Since it is installed at a relatively low position near the floor and opens upwards, aim downwards at the narrow opening of the toilet so that men do not spill when urinating, and It is not unusual for a person to fold his waist and maintain a leaning posture before using it. Unless such awareness is taken, the urine may splatter forward and stain the toilet and floor.

[0004] In order to solve such a problem, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 2951592, a portable male urinal standing on a toilet is provided in a Western style toilet having a washing water tank in the back. At the same time, there has been proposed a toilet in which flush water can be supplied from the upper end of the urinal.

According to this invention, since the urinal for a boy stands upright at the position where a man stands to urinate, even when urinating vigorously, the urinal remains on the inner surface of the urinal. It can be used comfortably because it is not received and guided in the toilet and does not stain the toilet and the floor, and it is not necessary to be aware of the bent forward posture.

[0006]

However, in the above-described toilet structure, the urinal itself for a boy becomes relatively large, and it takes time and effort to mount the urinal, such as connecting a hose and a switching valve for washing water. There was a problem that it became expensive.

[0007] In addition, since it is for men's urinals, every time a urinal or a woman uses a urinal, the urinal must be removed from the toilet and placed in a tray provided on the side. Required.

[0008] The present invention eliminates the economical problems and trouble of using the Western style toilet itself and the above urinal for men, and
An object of the present invention is to provide a Western-style toilet that does not stain a toilet or the like and that can urinate comfortably.

[0009]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, an auxiliary plate is rotatably mounted via an attachment at an upper position on the back surface of a raised toilet seat of a combined toilet. Means is adopted in which a guide plate whose tip reaches the inside of the toilet is rotatably attached to the lower end of the auxiliary plate via a hinge portion.

[0010] By adopting such a configuration of the Western-style toilet, the range of receiving urine is widened, and the urine can be comfortably added without being scattered without any particular consciousness. It is guided to.

At this time, the invention according to claim 2 and claim 3 employs a means that the cross section of the auxiliary plate has an inwardly curved structure, and furthermore, a front inner side is provided at the left and right ends of the auxiliary plate. A means of providing a water return that protrudes from the housing was also adopted.

With this structure, urine hitting the auxiliary plate is reliably prevented from scattering around, and urine flows down.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, a locking member is provided on the back side of the hinge portion of the guide plate so that the guide plate has an obtuse angle toward the front with respect to the auxiliary plate. That means was adopted.

[0014] With this configuration, the guide plate does not open any more, and the urine that flows down is reliably guided into the toilet, and when the toilet seat is lowered, first, the tip of the guide plate comes into contact with the front side surface of the toilet, Further, when the toilet seat is tilted, the guide plate slides upward and is folded inward, so that the auxiliary plate does not obstruct the stool or the like.

[0015]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A preferred embodiment of a Western-style toilet according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the product of the present invention, in which 1 is a toilet bowl, 2 is a flush water tank installed on the back side of the toilet bowl, and flush water is supplied by a water distribution pipe 3. Reference numeral 4 denotes a rotatable toilet seat, and reference numeral 5 denotes a toilet lid, all of which are lifted and leaned against the tank 2 in the figure. Such a structure is no different from a conventional Western style toilet.

Next, as shown in FIG. 2, reference numeral 6 denotes an auxiliary plate having an upper end rotatably attached to an upper position on the back surface of the toilet seat 4 through a fixture 7 as shown in FIG. A water return 8 is provided at each of the left and right ends to protrude inward. That is, when the toilet seat 4 is flipped up, the auxiliary plate 6 is erected so as to face the urinal position, and urine can be received by both the auxiliary plate and the toilet opening. In addition, since the auxiliary plate 6 has a curved structure, urine hitting the auxiliary plate does not scatter, and furthermore, it has an effect of surely preventing urine from scattering around by the water return 8.

A guide plate 10 is rotatably attached to the lower end of the auxiliary plate 6 via a hinge 9. The guide plate 10 has a tapered shape, and a leading end portion extends into the toilet.
Therefore, urine that has hit the auxiliary plate 6 flows downward, is guided by the guide plate 10, and flows down into the toilet.

A locking member 11 is provided on the back side of the hinge portion 9 of the guide plate 10, and as shown in FIG.
In contrast, the guide plate 10 forms an obtuse angle at the front side so as to prevent the guide plate 10 from opening any more. This ensures that the guide plate 10 guides urine into the toilet without fail, and that the guide plate 10 is automatically folded inward when the toilet seat 4 is lowered, as described below, such as in the case of stool. This is so as not to get in the way.

FIG. 3 is a partial cross-sectional view schematically showing a state where the toilet seat and the toilet lid are lowered. When the toilet seat 4 is lowered, the guide plate 10 is folded inward, and the auxiliary plate 6 is connected to the front side surface 12 of the toilet. Inclined in parallel, at least one-third of the back of the toilet bowl is open so that it does not interfere with the stool. This is because the guide plate 10 is supported by the locking member 11 so as to form a U-shape in the process from the state of FIG. 2 to the state of FIG. As a result, the auxiliary plate 6 and the guide plate 10 hang from the fixture 7 in a U-shape, and when the toilet seat is further tilted, the leading end of the guide plate 10 first contacts the front side surface 12 of the toilet. After that, the tip of the guide plate 10 is folded inward while sliding upward on the front side surface 12 of the toilet according to the inclination of the toilet seat.

When the toilet is operated and a lever (not shown) of the washing water tank is operated with the toilet seat lowered as shown in FIG. 3, the washing water flows out from the entire inner periphery of the toilet. At this time,
The flow on the tip side of the toilet is the strongest, and this water hits the inclined auxiliary plate 6 and the auxiliary plate 6 and the guide plate
Both sides can be washed. Therefore, the auxiliary plate 6
And the guide plate 10 can always maintain a clean state.

Although the figure shows an O-type toilet seat, it is needless to say that the present invention can be applied to a U-type toilet seat. In addition, since the auxiliary plate and the guide plate are simply rotatably mounted on the rear surface of the toilet seat via the mounting tool, the auxiliary plate and the guide plate can be easily mounted on existing various toilets, and no special tools are required.

[0022]

As described above, in the Western-style toilet according to the present invention, when a man urinates, the auxiliary plate and guide plate for receiving urine are placed on the back of the toilet seat, that is, opposed to the position where the man stands. Because it is installed, there is no danger of urinary splattering and there is no contamination of the floor. Further, since the range of receiving urine is wide, it is possible to urinate in an easy posture without being conscious as in the related art, and an excellent effect that mental relaxation can be expected.

When a man adds a toilet seat, the auxiliary seat and guide plate are unfolded by raising the toilet seat and the auxiliary plate and guide plate are erected. When the toilet seat is lowered after use, the seat is folded inward accordingly. In addition to the convenient operation and effect of being able to use without removing even when used by women and women, if the flush water is poured at the position where the toilet seat is lowered, the auxiliary plate and the guide plate are washed, so that they can always be used in a sanitary condition.

Furthermore, there is an advantage that the structure is extremely simple as compared with the conventional one, and it can be easily attached to anyone and can be provided at a very low cost.
