Description

  The present invention relates to a toilet bowl in which an armrest is rotatably attached to both left and right sides.

  For the toilet bowl, for example, as illustrated in FIGS. 15A, 15 B, and 15 C, a base plate 3 as a mounting bracket is attached to a base plate mounting portion of the toilet body 1, and the armrest 2 is attached via the base plate 3. Often pivotally mounted.

  The base plate 3 has at least a flat plate portion 31 extending left and right and a pair of vertical plate portions 32 suspended from the left and right ends (see FIG. 15C), and the flat plate portion 31 and the vertical plate portion 32 are the toilet bowl. The base plate mounting portion of the main body 1 is covered from above, and the flat plate portion 31 is fixed to the upper surface of the base plate mounting portion with screws or the like, thereby being attached to the toilet main body 1.

  The armrest 2 has at least a handrail portion 21 that is in a horizontal position when in use, an arm portion 22 that supports the armrest portion 22, and an arm shaft portion 23 at the end of the arm portion 22, and is attached to the toilet body 1 as described above. The arm shaft portion 32 is rotatably fixed to the left and right vertical plate portions 32 of the base plate 3 and is attached to the toilet body 1.

In addition, the following Patent Document 1 describes an example of a toilet with an armrest, although the mounting structure via the mounting bracket is different from that described above.
JP-A-11-206626

  However, when the armrest 2 is attached via the base plate 3 as described above, the base plate 3 and the armrest 2 are not attached as shown in FIGS. 3 left and right vertical plate portions 32 are exposed from the toilet body 1 and are conspicuous in appearance. This is because the vertical plate portion 32 is not only exposed from the left and right side surfaces of the toilet body 1, but also protrudes to some extent from the left and right side surfaces of the toilet body 1. This is not preferable in terms of the appearance of the entire toilet. 15 (a), (b), (c) and FIGS. 16 (a), (b), and (c) have armrests 2 that can be attached and detached, and there is no armrest 2 in each state. It is in a state.

  Therefore, it is conceivable to improve the appearance by bringing the base plate 3 into close contact with the toilet body 1 so as not to protrude from the left and right side surfaces of the toilet body 1.

  However, when the base plate 3 is brought into close contact with the toilet body 1, the deformation stress of the base plate 3 when a load is applied to the armrest 2 is applied to the toilet body 1, causing damage to the toilet body 1 made of ceramics.

  Further, the arm shaft portion 23 of the armrest 2 often has a rotating shaft 24 protruding from the mounting surface side with the vertical plate portion 32 of the base plate 3 (see FIG. 15C), and the base plate 3 is attached to the toilet body 1. When the arm shaft portion 23 is attached to the vertical plate portion 32, there is no space for the rotary shaft 24 to escape between the vertical plate portion 32 and the toilet body 1, and the rotary shaft 24 is connected to the toilet body 1. It interferes and cannot be installed.

  Therefore, in view of the circumstances as described above, when the armrest 2 is attached to the toilet body 1, the present invention improves the strength of the base plate attachment portion of the toilet body 1 and keeps the base plate 3 in close contact with the toilet body 1. With armrests that can be attached, and even in the close contact state, the rotary shaft 24 can be released so that the arm shaft portion 23 can be attached, and the appearance of the base plate 3 can be improved so that it is not conspicuous from the toilet body 1 in the end. The issue is to provide toilets.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention firstly, a base plate having a flat plate portion extending in the left and right direction and a pair of vertical plate portions suspended from the left and right ends thereof is attached to the base plate attachment portion of the toilet body. An armrest having a handrail portion, an arm portion, and an arm shaft portion is mounted on the left and right sides of the toilet body with the arm shaft portion being rotatably fixed to the base plate, and the base plate is attached to the toilet body. The part has a box shape composed of an attachment body integrally formed at the rear part of the toilet body and a cover body covering the attachment body, and the base plate covers the attachment body of the base plate attachment part with the flat plate portion and the vertical plate portion. And at least the vertical plate portion is attached to the attachment body so that it is in close contact with the side surface of the attachment body, and the armrest protrudes from the arm shaft portion. The rolling shaft passes through the shaft hole provided in the vertical plate portion of the base plate, is inserted into the shaft escape hole provided on the side surface of the base plate mounting portion, and is attached to the base plate. The base plate is attached to the toilet main body so as to cover the base plate attached to the base plate attachment portion and the arm shaft portion of the armrest.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the strength of the base plate mounting portion of the toilet body can be improved by making it a box shape composed of the mounting body and the cover body as described above, and therefore when a load is applied to the armrest. Even if the deformation stress of the base plate is applied to the attachment body integrally formed with the toilet body, the attachment body and the toilet body are not easily damaged, so that the base plate can be attached in close contact with the attachment body.

  Also, by providing a shaft escape hole in the mounting body of the base plate mounting part and inserting a rotary shaft protruding from the arm shaft portion into it, a space for the rotary shaft to escape can be secured in the mounting body from the shaft escape hole. Even if the attachment body is in close contact with the attachment body, the arm shaft portion can be attached by escaping the rotation shaft.

  Therefore, finally, the base plate can be mounted such that the flat plate portion and the vertical plate portion cover the mounting body of the base plate mounting portion, and at least the vertical plate portion is in close contact with the side surface of the mounting body, and By attaching the cover body together with the mounting body so as to cover the base plate fixed to this and the arm shaft part, the base plate is housed inside the box-shaped base plate mounting part, and the appearance of the toilet body is inconspicuous With this, the strength is also improved, and the armrest can be more suitably realized.

  1 to 5 each show an embodiment of the present invention.

  In this embodiment, first, the base plate attachment portion of the toilet body 1 has a box shape including an attachment body 11 integrally formed at the rear portion of the toilet body 1 and a cover body 12 covering the attachment body 11. ing.

  The base plate 3 has at least a flat plate portion 31 extending left and right and a pair of vertical plate portions 32 depending from the left and right ends. The flat plate portion 31 is provided with a fixing hole 311 for fixing the screw to the mounting body 11. The left and right vertical plate portions 32 are provided with a shaft hole 321 into which a rotating shaft 24 (see FIGS. 4 and 5) protruding from the arm shaft portion 23 of the armrest 2 is inserted at a substantially central position, and appropriately around the shaft hole 321. A pin hole 322 into which a pin 234c (see FIGS. 4 and 5) protruding from the arm shaft portion 23 is inserted and a fixing hole 323 for fixing the screw between the arm shaft portion 23 and the base plate 3 are disposed at the position. (See also FIGS. 14A to 14D).

  The flat plate portion 31 and the vertical plate portion 32 are placed on the attachment body 11 from above, and the flat plate portion 31 is fixed to the upper surface of the attachment body 11 with screws 4, whereby the base plate 3 is attached and fixed to the attachment body 11. . At this time, the back surfaces of the left and right vertical plate portions 32 are in close contact with the side surface of the mounting body 11.

  When attaching the armrest 2 to the base plate 3 in this state (see FIGS. 3 and 4), the pin 234 c protruding from the back side of the arm shaft portion 23 is inserted into the pin hole 322 of the vertical plate portion 32 of the base plate 3. Further, the projecting rotating shaft 24 is passed through the shaft hole 321 of the vertical plate portion 32, and the fixing screw 6 is fixed to the fixing hole 323 of the vertical plate portion 32 from the two fixing holes 233 a of the arm shaft portion 23. The arm shaft portion 23 is fixed to the base plate 3 by tightening (see FIG. 6 described later) using a hexagon wrench 5 or the like.

  At this time, the rotating shaft 24 of the arm shaft portion 23 passes through the shaft hole 321 of the vertical plate portion 32 of the base plate 3 and is on the side surface of the mounting body 11 of the base plate mounting portion in the toilet body 1 in which the vertical plate portion 32 is in close contact. It passes through the shaft relief hole 111 (see FIG. 5). Therefore, even if the vertical plate portion 32 is in close contact with the side surface of the attachment body 11, the protruding rotating shaft 24 does not hit the attachment body 11, that is, the toilet body 1 made of ceramics.

  The configurations of the arm shaft portion 23 and the rotating shaft 24 will be further described. As illustrated in FIGS. 6 to 9A and 9B, the arm shaft portion 23 includes an arm base 23a, a spacer disk 23b, and an end plate 23c. It is integrated and configured.

  The arm base 23a is fixed to the rotary shaft 231a that is the axial center of the rotary shaft 24 protruding to the back side, the stopper pin 232a that suppresses the rotation range of the arm shaft 23, and the vertical plate 32 of the base plate 3. The fixing screw 6 (see FIG. 6) has a fixing hole 233a (see FIGS. 7A and 7B).

  The spacer disk 23b has a shaft hole 231b through which the rotary shaft body 231a of the arm base 23a passes, a pin hole 232b through which the stopper pin 232a of the arm base 23a passes, and a fixing hole 233b through which the fixing screw 6 passes (FIG. 8A). ) (B)). A wave-shaped washer 23d is provided between the spacer disk 23b and the arm base 23a during assembly. A grease 23j is also provided in the spacer disk 23b.

  The end plate 23c includes a shaft hole 231c through which the rotary shaft body 231a of the arm base 23a passes, a pin long hole 232c through which the stopper pin 232a of the arm base 23a rotates, a fixing hole 233c through which the fixing screw 6 passes, and a vertical length of the base plate 3 It has a pin 234c protruding to the back side to prevent positioning and deviation with respect to the plate portion 32 (see FIGS. 9A and 9B).

  These integrations are achieved by using a Teflon (registered trademark) material 23e and a reinforcing member for the projecting portion in which the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft 231a projecting from the arm base 23a through the spacer disk 23b and the end plate 23c is threaded. The washer 23f, the Teflon (registered trademark) plate 23g, the disc spring 23h, and the nut 23i are sequentially inserted and screwed in (see FIG. 6).

  Then, from the arm shaft portion 23 integrally configured in this way, together with the rotating shaft body 231a, from a Teflon (registered trademark) material 23e, a reinforcing washer 23f, a Teflon (registered trademark) plate 23g, a disc spring 23h and a nut 23i. Since it protrudes, it is necessary to allow all including these to escape from the shaft hole 321 to the shaft escape hole 111 of the attachment body 11 of the base plate attachment site in the toilet body 1 when the base plate 3 is attached to the vertical plate portion 32. This is the rotating shaft 24 (see FIG. 5).

  As illustrated in FIGS. 10 and 11, the armrest 2 having the arm shaft portion 23 assembled as described above and attached to the base plate 3 can be rotated within a rotation angle range determined by the stopper pin 232a and the pin elongated hole 232c. Can be performed. FIGS. 12A and 12B and FIGS. 13A and 13B are variations of the armrest 2. FIGS. 14A to 14D are detailed views of the base plate.

  Thereafter, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the cover body 12 constituting the box-shaped base plate attachment portion is covered with the base plate 3 attached thereto and the arm shaft portion 23 of the armrest 2 together with the attachment body 11 of the base plate attachment portion. Thus, it may be attached to the toilet body 1.

  As is apparent from FIG. 1, not only the base plate 3 but also the arm shaft portion 23 is also hidden by the cover body 12, and it can be said that the box-shaped base plate mounting portion after completion is integrated with the toilet body 1. Therefore, both the base plate 3 and the arm shaft portion 23 are accommodated in the toilet body 1, and the appearance of the toilet body 1 when the armrest 2 is attached is not impaired. And since the attachment strength is further improved, the attachment of the armrest 2 can be realized more suitably.
