Description

  The present invention relates to a dirt prevention cover for a Western-style flush toilet, and in particular, is attached between the upper surface of a toilet bowl and a toilet seat, and captures urine that adheres between them or scatters out of the toilet bowl. The present invention also relates to a dirt prevention cover for preventing dirt and surroundings.

Conventionally, various anti-smudge covers have been proposed as a measure against urine splashes in Western-style flush toilets, particularly as a measure against scattered urine for boys. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a Western-style toilet antifouling cover having an opening substantially equal to the opening of the toilet seat on the upper surface of the toilet so that dirty water does not enter the space between the toilet seat and the toilet. There, a cover for individually covering the upper surface of the toilet bowl, the back of the toilet seat, the toilet seat toilet, the inner peripheral surface of the toilet seat, and the rear part of the toilet seat is provided, and these covers are bonded together to form one cover, which is attached to the upper part of the toilet seat. As a result, the upper part of the toilet bowl to the back of the inner periphery of the toilet seat is covered with this cover, so that excrement such as urine between the toilet seat toilets and the vicinity thereof is prevented.

  However, such a dirt prevention cover has a structure in which parts that cover each part of the toilet bowl and toilet seat are combined in a complicated manner, and is formed of paper so that it can be disposable. There is a problem that it is difficult. If you actually try to attach a cover of this type to a toilet bowl, you will need to get used to wearing it, such as the part attached to the top of the toilet is twisted or the rear cover part falls into the toilet bowl and gets wet. It becomes. For this reason, there is a problem that it is difficult to use for children and the elderly, and is difficult to use for boys and boys that are expected to be particularly effective.

  In addition, there are many cases in which the cover itself protrudes greatly in the toilet bowl, which obstructs small-use use, and urine is likely to hit there. On the contrary, there is a possibility that urine may be scattered around the toilet bowl due to the rebound. Furthermore, for example, in the cover of Patent Document 1, when urine overflows from the cover, the overflowed urine flows out of the toilet as it is, and in that case, there is a problem that it does not serve as a cover at all. .

  An object of the present invention is to provide a dirt-preventing cover for a Western-style toilet bowl that can be easily attached to the toilet bowl and has a high effect of preventing dirt.

And a side cover portion extending downward along the inner peripheral surface of the toilet bowl, and a rear cover portion attached to both ends of the upper surface cover section and installed on the back side of the toilet bowl.

  In the present invention, even if urine scatters on the upper surface of the toilet bowl during male use, it is captured by the upper surface cover. At that time, the outer peripheral side of the upper surface cover portion is raised by the slope portion, and the trapped urine flows downward through the slope portion and is returned to the toilet along the side cover portion. Thereby, in the dirt prevention cover of the present invention, although it has a simple structure, it is possible to effectively prevent the toilet from being soiled by scattered urine.

  In the anti-dirt cover of the Western-style toilet, a peripheral wall portion that rises upward from the slope portion may be provided at the outer peripheral end portion of the upper surface cover portion, thereby improving the effect of capturing scattered urine. In this case, the upper end of the peripheral wall portion may be disposed at a position flush with or lower than the toilet seat upper surface, thereby preventing the upper end of the peripheral wall portion from hitting a user sitting on the toilet seat, It is possible to avoid losing the feeling of use and cleanliness.

  In the anti-stain cover for a Western-style toilet, a plurality of support legs may be provided on the slope portion of the upper surface cover portion so as to contact the upper surface of the toilet and support the upper surface cover portion on the upper surface of the toilet. In this case, the support leg may be inserted into the leg hole recessed in the slope portion from the upper surface side of the toilet and held in the leg hole.

  In the anti-dirt cover of the Western-style toilet, a plurality of protrusions protruding toward the toilet and abutting on the toilet are provided at a connection portion between the upper surface cover and the side cover, and the protrusion is disposed between the protrusions. You may form the space | gap part which a toilet bowl and the said dirt prevention cover do not contact. As a result, urine that has flowed out of the upper surface cover portion flows downward along the back surface side of the slope portion, travels from the gap portion to the back surface side of the rear cover portion, and is returned to the toilet. Even if urine overflows outside, it is possible to prevent urine from spreading on the upper surface of the toilet, and the cover function is further improved.

  In the Western style toilet dirt prevention cover, the rear cover portion may be provided with a variable mounting portion capable of changing the connection position with the upper surface cover portion, which is optimal for various size toilets. Cover setting is possible.

  In the anti-stain cover of the Western-style toilet, the anti-stain cover may be formed of a water-repellent material or coated with a water-repellent material.

  According to the antifouling cover of the western-style toilet of the present invention, the upper surface cover part formed in a substantially U shape having an inclined surface whose outer peripheral side is formed higher than the inner peripheral side, and the toilet inner peripheral side of the upper cover part A side cover portion that is integrally connected to the upper surface cover portion and extends downward along the inner peripheral surface of the toilet bowl, and a rear cover portion that is attached to both ends of the upper surface cover portion and is installed on the back side of the toilet bowl. Since it is configured to be provided, scattered urine at the time of male small use is easily captured by the upper surface cover part, and since the outer peripheral side of the upper surface cover part is high, the captured urine flows down the slope part, It is returned to the toilet along the side cover. Accordingly, the cover for preventing dirt of the present invention can effectively prevent the toilet from being soiled by scattered urine while having a simple structure. Further, since the cover does not protrude into the toilet bowl, it does not hinder the use of the cover, and problems such as further scattering of urine directly hitting the cover are unlikely to occur. Furthermore, since it is easy to attach, remove, and wash, it is easy to maintain a clean state, and it is easy to use.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the construction of a dirt prevention cover for a Western-style toilet as an embodiment of the present invention and a method for attaching the cover. 2 is a plan view of the dirt prevention cover of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a rear view thereof (see arrow X in FIG. 2), and FIG. 4 is a front view of the dirt prevention cover of FIG. 5) is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. 2, and FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB in FIG.

  1 is formed of a synthetic resin such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET, recycled PET is environmentally preferable) or polypropylene (PP), and the western toilet 2 Is placed between the western toilet 2 and a toilet seat (not shown). The cover 1 includes a substantially U-shaped upper surface cover part 11, a side cover part 12 formed integrally on the inner peripheral side of the upper surface cover part, and a rear cover part 13 attached to the end of the upper surface cover part 11. Is formed.

  The upper surface cover part 11 is arrange | positioned so that the toilet bowl upper surface 3 may be covered. The outer peripheral part 11a of the upper surface cover part 11 is higher than the inner peripheral part 11b, and the slope part 14 which becomes a downward slope toward the inner peripheral part 11b is formed in the meantime. A peripheral wall portion 15 that rises upward is further formed on the outer peripheral end side of the slope portion 14. The upper end of the peripheral wall portion 15 is set to be flush with or lower than the upper surface of the toilet seat when the toilet seat is used. This is because if the upper end of the peripheral wall portion 15 is above the toilet seat upper surface, the upper end hits the user sitting on the toilet seat and the feeling of use and cleanliness are impaired.

  A plurality of rubber support legs 16 (six in this embodiment) are attached to the middle of the slope portion 14. A leg hole projection 17 is formed on the slope portion 14 so as to protrude, and a leg hole 18 is recessed in the leg hole projection 17 from the toilet upper surface 3 side. The support leg 16 is inserted into the leg hole 18 from the toilet upper surface 3 side and held in the leg hole 18.

  The side cover portion 12 is integrally connected to the inner peripheral portion 11 b of the upper surface cover portion 11 and extends along the inner peripheral surface 4 of the western toilet 2 along the lower side. The side cover portion 12 is also formed slightly obliquely, and the lower end portion 12a thereof is disposed closer to the inside of the toilet than the upper end portion 12b. A plurality of protrusions 19 are provided at a connection portion between the upper surface cover portion 11 and the side cover portion 12. The protrusion 19 protrudes toward the toilet upper surface 3, and when the cover 1 is attached to the Western-style toilet 2, the protrusion 19 comes into contact with the corner 5 between the toilet upper surface 3 and the inner peripheral surface 4. When the projection 19 contacts the corner 5, a portion of the cover 1 where the projection 19 is not present, that is, a portion between the projections 19 does not contact the corner 5, and a gap 21 is formed there. The

  The rear cover portion 13 is attached to the end portions 22 a and 22 b on the U-shaped opening side of the upper surface cover portion 11. The end portions 22 a and 22 b are formed in a planar shape and are one step higher than the main body portion 11 c of the upper surface cover portion 11. As shown in FIG. 1, the end portions 22a and 22b are inclined by about 30 to 45 ° (angle θ in the drawing) in accordance with the shape of the nozzle housing portion 6 of the warm water washing toilet seat attached to the western toilet 2. Is provided. A rectangular engagement piece 23 is formed to protrude from the ends of the end portions 22a and 22b.

  FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the rear cover portion. An engagement hole 24 is formed in the rear cover portion 13 corresponding to the engagement piece 23. The engagement holes 24 are provided in the bent portions of the sandwiching pieces 25 formed to be bent on the upper side of the rear cover portion 13, and three engagement holes 24 are arranged on the left and right sides to form variable attachment portions 26. In the variable attachment portion 26, the connection position with the engagement piece 23 can be changed as appropriate, and the size of the toilet 2 can be obtained by appropriately bending the upper cover portion 11 and the side cover portion 12 made of synthetic resin. The optimal cover setting according to the is possible.

  Nipping pieces 27 are also provided on both side portions of the rear cover portion 13. The sandwiching piece 27 sandwiches the end portions 22a and 22b from the outside when the rear cover portion 13 is attached to the upper surface cover portion 11. The end portions 22 a and 22 b are sandwiched between the main body portion 13 c of the rear cover portion 13 and the sandwiching pieces 25 and 27. As a result, the rear cover portion 13 is attached to the end portions 22a and 22b so as to be prevented from coming off.

  Next, the usage method of such a cover 1 is demonstrated. The cover 1 is placed on the toilet upper surface 3 as shown in FIG. The upper cover 11 is placed on the toilet upper surface 3 and the rear cover 13 is attached to the back of the toilet in accordance with the toilet size, so that even a child can easily set it. Even when the toilet seat is used, the cover 1 may be left on the toilet bowl 3 as it is. At this time, the upper surface cover portion 11 is pushed and deformed by the pedestal provided on the lower surface of the toilet seat, but when the toilet seat is lifted, it returns to its original form due to the flexibility of the synthetic resin.

  On the other hand, for example, when a man makes a small use with the toilet seat raised, it is used as it is. At this time, the cover has a small projecting portion into the toilet 2, so that it does not get in the way of small use. At the time of male use, as described above, urine may rebound from the bottom surface of the toilet or the water surface and may be scattered on the toilet top surface 3 or the like. However, if the cover 1 is installed in the toilet bowl 2, the scattered urine is received by the upper surface cover portion 11. At that time, in the cover 1, the outer peripheral side of the upper surface cover portion 11 is high, and the peripheral wall portion 15 is formed on the outer side, so that scattered urine can be captured more effectively. The urine captured by the slope portion 14 and the peripheral wall portion 15 flows downward, returns to the toilet 2 through the side cover portion 12.

  On the other hand, when urine flows out of the upper surface cover portion 11, the urine flows downward along the back surface side of the slope portion 14. At this time, in the cover 1, since the gap portion 21 is formed between the cover 1 and the corner portion 5 of the toilet bowl 2, urine that has flowed down the back surface side of the slope portion 14 is covered by the rear cover from the gap portion 21. It flows to the back side of the part 13 and is returned to the toilet 2. That is, even if urine overflows outside the upper surface cover portion 11, it is possible to prevent urine from spreading on the toilet upper surface 3, and the cover function can be improved.

  The cover 1 used as appropriate can be easily removed and washed. In that case, if the rear cover part 13 is removed and each part is washed with water using a detergent or the like, the cover 1 can be easily washed and used again in a clean state. Therefore, unlike the disposable cover, it is possible to effectively use resources by reuse.

  Thus, according to the cover 1 according to the present invention, it is possible to effectively prevent the toilet from being soiled by scattered urine while having a simple structure. Moreover, even if the cover 1 is attached, there is little overhanging into the toilet bowl, so that it does not hinder small use, and problems such as further scattering of urine directly hitting the cover are unlikely to occur. Furthermore, since it is easy to attach, remove, and wash, it is easy to maintain a clean state.

  It goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.

  For example, in the cover 1 described above, an example in which the cover 1 is formed of a synthetic resin such as PET has been shown. However, by using a material having excellent water repellency such as a fluorine-based resin, urine is easily sulfidized, The capture effect is also improved. In addition, you may perform coating of a water-repellent material. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the structure is configured such that it is pressed and deformed by the pedestal on the lower surface of the toilet seat. However, a notch or a hole may be provided at the position of the pedestal, and this may be appropriately processed on the user side.
