Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is to provide a comfortable sitting comfort without any resistance when sitting regardless of the season, and to clean the excrement attached to the anus and its vicinity with toilet paper after defecation. The present invention relates to a Western-style toilet seat that is extremely effective in wiping and excellent in usability.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when defecation is performed in a Western-style toilet, regardless of gender, both men and women sit on the toilet seat and use the toilet. When wiping the excrement clean with toilet paper etc., lift the buttocks and place it in the middle waist and put the hand holding the paper under the buttocks from the side,
The paper is wiped around the anus. In this case, the wiping operation as described above must be performed in any case of the existing Western-style toilet seat structure regardless of the type of the toilet seat, such as the O type or the U type.

[0003]

In the case of an existing Western-style toilet seat, it is necessary to be in a waist state when wiping with toilet paper, and such a state is a problem for a young person and a healthy person. Although it was not, it was a painful posture for the elderly and those who hurt their lower back, and it could not be said to be an easy defecation. Also, most of the conventional toilet seats, including the toilet bowl, are made of pottery and stainless steel alloy, so the toilet seat is cold especially in cold seasons such as winter, so that the buttocks are very cold when sitting. They often feel unpleasant and feel unpleasant. In severe cases, they may be surprised and put a burden on the heart, and may be transported to a hospital by ambulance. As a countermeasure for such a problem, there are many methods of heating the toilet seat to an appropriate temperature with electricity.However, heating equipment and electricity costs are involved, which is uneconomical. However, new problems such as discomfort have arisen, and it is a reality that toilet seats that are more economical and provide a comfortable sitting comfort have been desired.

[0004] The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and firstly, the wiping work of the anal part and its vicinity after defecation can be easily performed without burden on the feet and hips.
Secondly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a Western-style toilet seat that does not feel cold when seated and can provide a comfortable sitting feeling regardless of the four seasons and is highly usable and excellent in usability.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, a toilet seat of a Western style toilet according to the present invention has a seat member made of a material such as polystyrene foam or the like attached to the buttocks of the left and right seating rods of the toilet seat body. The height of the seat is about 10 cm or more, and the seating rod is separated from the base rod of the toilet seat body so that at least one of the left and right seating rods can be opened outward. The seating rod is provided so as to be rotatable in the horizontal direction with respect to the base rod.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view showing a state in which a seating rod is opened outward, and FIG. 3 is a partial cross-sectional side view showing an example of a rotating means of the seating rod. is there.

In the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a toilet seat main body, which comprises left and right seating rods 1a, 1a and a base rod 1b.
Is pivotally mounted on the toilet body A so as to be rotatable up and down. Also, the seating member 2 is attached to the buttocks abutment position of the left and right seating rods, that is, the position where the buttocks touch when seated,
Even in the winter, the hips are not cold, so they are comfortable. The styrofoam is considered to be most suitable as the material of the seating member 2 (there is a lot of voids in the inside, and it is excellent in heat retention, heat insulation, etc., so that it is less affected by the outside air temperature and feels good. ), A resin material, a rubber material, etc. having the same function and effect may be used, and the material is not specified.

The seating member 2 is mounted on the upper surfaces of the left and right seating rods 1a, 1a so as not to be easily detached from the upper surfaces of the right and left seating rods by a projecting portion 2a fitted into a fitting groove (or a fitting hole) provided in the left and right seating rods 1a, 1a. The entire height of the seat rod 1a including the seat member 2 is formed to be about 10 cm or more. The reason why the overall height of the seating rod 1a is made sufficiently high is to create a gap that can be easily inserted from the side when wiping the anus as described later.

The left and right seating rods 1a, 1a are provided so that one or both of them can be opened outward. In this embodiment, a description will be given of a case where only the right seating rod 1a is opened outward only for the right hand. . The right seating rod 1a is separate from the base rod 1b of the toilet seat body 1 (the other is the left seating rod 1a).
Is integral with the base rod 1b. The right seating rod 1a is provided so as to be rotatable in the horizontal direction with respect to the base rod 1b, but a specific turning means is to form a shaft insertion hole at the base end portion of the right seating rod 1a. Then, an insertion shaft portion 1c to be inserted into the shaft insertion hole is projected from the lower surface of the base rod 1b portion, the base rod 1b is slightly lifted, the right seating rod 1a is taken from below, and the insertion shaft portion 1c is inserted into the shaft. It is placed on the upper surface of the toilet body A in a state of being inserted into the hole. In addition, the right seating rod 1 in the shaft portion
a and the base rod 1b have a two-stage structure (the upper part is the base part and the lower part is the right seated rod), and both are provided with a radius only on the outside so that the right seated rod 1a is opened only on the outside. Of course,
The right seating rod 1a includes an inner end of the right seating rod 1a and a base rod 1b.
The inner tip of the rim strikes the opposing base rod and right seating rod, respectively, and stops at a fixed position (the upper surface of the toilet),
Anything beyond that does not rotate inward. In order to prevent the right seating rod 1a from coming off when the toilet seat body 1 is started up in a case of men's small use, the left seating rod 1a.
The tip of the left seated rod 1a is shaped to be thinner downward, so that the tip of the right seated rod 1a supports the tip of the right seated rod 1a, and the tip of the right seated rod 1a is thinned upward. Then, both are formed so as to overlap each other at the distal end portion, and a device is devised in which the left seated rod 1a supports the right seated rod 1a during startup.

The above-mentioned rotating means is an example of various means, and it is also conceivable that the right seating rod 1a is pivotally mounted on the right seating rod 1a with a bolt or the like so as to be freely rotatable. Means may be taken, and the mounting method of the seating rod 1a is not particularly limited.
In the present embodiment, the left hand is used exclusively for the right hand. However, the left seat rod 1a may be used for the left hand so that it can be opened outward. It is also very effective to provide a selectable toilet seat that can be opened.

Therefore, when the toilet seat body 1 shown in this embodiment is used, when sitting by the respective seating members 2 of the left and right seating rods 1a, there is no cold sensation in the buttocks and comfortable sitting comfort regardless of the four seasons. In addition, it is possible to easily wipe the anal part and its vicinity after defecation. That is, after defecation, first, the weight is shifted to the left butt, the right butt is slightly lifted from the right seating member 2, and then the right seating rod 1a is opened outward and the toilet body and the right Clearance between the buttocks (10 including the lifting of the buttocks)
cm or more. ), So that the lower part (right side) of the so-called butt may be empty. In this case, since the left butt rests on the left seating member 2, there is no pain as in the middle waist. Therefore, it is sufficient to insert the right hand holding the toilet paper through the gap and wipe the anus and the vicinity thereof, so that the wiping operation can be performed in a very easy posture.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, unlike the conventional toilet seat, the seat does not feel cold or unpleasant when seated, and does not feel the pain or trouble due to the middle waist posture. It has the most merit for the user, such as comfortable sitting comfort and easy wiping work in a series of defecation activities where the user sits on top and defecates and then wipes cleanly, and considers economy. However, the present invention can exert a great effect more than enough for users, and it can be installed in a large number of toilets such as public toilets as well as personal toilets, so that the present invention can be used. Therefore, its utility value is extremely high, and it can be said that it has excellent commercial value.
