Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily eliminate flaws on the surface of a toilet seat device. SOLUTION: The toilet seat device comprises a toilet seat device body, a mounting frame 8 rotatably provided on the toilet seat device body, and a toilet seat part and/or a toilet lid part 7 made from resin and removably held against the mounting frame 8. Because the toilet lid part 7 is conspicuous and occupies a major part of the toilet seat device, it is made from ABS or PP resin. The toilet seat part is also made from PP resin. The mounting frame 8 is made from a metallic material such as aluminum or magnesium alloys or a resin material such as PBT resin, PET resin, nylon resin, or PPS resin, so that it is harder than the toilet seat part and the toilet lid part 7. When the surfaces of the toilet seat part and the toilet lid part 7 are damaged, they are removed from the mounting frame 8 and replaced with new ones.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a toilet seat device mounted on a Western-style toilet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A toilet seat device such as a heated toilet seat or a hot water flush toilet seat includes a casing mounted on a Western-style toilet bowl, and a toilet seat and a toilet lid rotatably attached to the casing. Then, a local cleaning nozzle, a heat exchange tank, a solenoid valve, a hot air generator, a control board, and the like are housed in a casing according to functions. Of these components, at least the casing, the toilet seat, and the toilet lid are formed of a resin material.

[0003]

The resin material is excellent in moldability, so that the toilet seat device can be processed into various forms. On the other hand, the resin material has poor scratch resistance. If the surface is wiped, the surface will be scratched, and the luster originally possessed by the painted surface of the resin product will gradually be lost. Also, when taking off clothes when using the toilet, the belt or button may hit the toilet seat device, and the surface of the toilet seat device may be scratched. It will be. Therefore, there has been a problem that the appearance of the toilet seat device gradually deteriorates. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily remove a scratch on the surface of the toilet seat device.

[0004]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a toilet seat apparatus having at least a portion of a surface formed of a resin molded product, wherein the mounting unit holds the resin molded product in a detachable manner. A frame is provided. If the surface of the resin molded product is damaged, the resin molded product can be removed from the mounting frame and replaced with a new resin molded product.

In the invention of claim 2, the toilet seat device is
It is composed of a toilet seat device main body, a mounting frame rotatably provided on the toilet seat device main body, and a resin toilet seat portion and / or toilet lid portion detachably held by the mounting frame. If the surface of the toilet seat or toilet lid is damaged, it can be removed from the mounting frame and replaced with a new toilet seat or toilet lid. In this case, the attachment frame is preferably made of a material that is less likely to be damaged than the toilet seat or the toilet lid. For example, the toilet lid is easily visible to human eyes and occupies most of the toilet seat device. Therefore, ABS resin or PP resin is used.
The mounting frame may be made of a metal material such as aluminum or magnesium alloy, or a resin material such as PBT resin, PET resin, nylon resin or PPS resin. As described above, by making the attachment frame detachable while leaving the mounting frame, the toilet lid itself can be replaced more easily than replacing the toilet lid itself, and it takes up less space for storage. Further, the removable toilet lid can be provided at a low cost.

Further, in the invention according to claim 3, in the toilet seat device having an outer shell made of a resin molded product, a multi-layer film that can be peeled for each layer is attached to a surface of the resin molded product. I do. Since the scratches on the surface of the resin molded article are attached to the multilayer film affixed to the surface of the molded article, if the scratched film is peeled off, a scratch-free surface can be obtained.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a toilet device provided with a hot water flush toilet seat having a toilet lid according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, a casing 2 of a sanitary washing device is fixed to an upper surface of a toilet body 1, and a toilet seat 3 and a toilet lid 4 are respectively attached to the casing 2 so as to be freely opened and closed. Inside the casing 2, a local cleaning nozzle device 5 for local cleaning, a supply pipe system for cleaning water, a hot air drying device for drying after cleaning, and the like (not shown) are accommodated. The operation is performed by the operation unit 6 provided integrally with the control unit.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a toilet lid according to the present invention. In the present invention, the toilet lid 4 is a detachable toilet lid (toilet lid portion) 7.
And a frame (mounting frame) 8 for holding the detachable toilet lid 7. The frame 8 is rotatably provided on the casing 2 described above. The detachable toilet lid 7 has a structure that can be freely attached to and detached from the frame 8.

FIG. 3 is a sectional view showing a first embodiment of the toilet lid according to the present invention. In FIG. 3, the toilet lid 4 according to the present invention
Has a structure including a detachable toilet lid 7 having a convex portion 9 for fitting on the outer periphery and a frame 8 having a concave portion 10 fitted with the removable toilet lid 7. Frame 8 of detachable toilet lid 7
For attachment to the device, the detachable toilet lid 7 can be bent and fitted, or can be inserted by sliding from the rear end side.

FIG. 4 is a sectional view showing a second embodiment of the toilet lid according to the present invention. In FIG. 4, the toilet lid 4 according to the present invention
Is composed of a detachable toilet cover 7 and a frame 8 fitted to the detachable toilet cover 7 as in the first embodiment. The structure is made by snap fitting provided on the outer peripheral part. That is, the snap-fitting claw 11 is provided at an arbitrary position on the outer periphery of the detachable toilet lid, and the toilet lid 4 is formed in such a manner that the snap-fit engages with the frame 8. As a similar form of the snap fit method, it is also possible to use a latch.

FIG. 5 is a sectional view showing a third embodiment of the toilet lid according to the present invention. In FIG. 5, the toilet lid 4 according to the present invention
The detachable toilet lid 7 and the frame 8 are formed so as to be in contact with each other on the surface, and the adhesive body 7 is provided on the contacting surface. As the bonding body 12, a magnet was provided. As for the magnet installation, one is N pole and the other is S pole.
If it is a pole, it may be installed on either the removable toilet lid 2 or the frame 8. Further, as another mounting method of a structure in which the surfaces contact each other, a magic tape (registered trademark) may be used instead of the magnet.
