  The seat plate of the toilet seat is preferably provided with an openable / closable cover that covers the opening.

  It is preferable that at least the upper surface of the lid is made of a soft material.

  A sheet piece that can be bent rearwardly extends from the lid, and the sheet piece may be fastened to the seat plate.

  The front portion of the seating base is preferably open or recessed to accept the lower leg of the seated person.

  The room of the present invention (Claim 8) is characterized in that in the room where the toilet body is installed, the toilet seat for the toilet of the present invention is installed across the toilet body.

  You may comprise so that the upper surface of the rim of this toilet bowl body and the lower surface of a seat board may closely_contact | adhere via a soft material.

  It may be configured such that a space for pipe routing exists on the side or rear of the toilet body in the seat.

  A wash basin or a hand wash basin is installed adjacent to the seat, and a pipe for the wash basin or the hand wash basin may be routed in this space.

  The toilet seat for the toilet of the present invention is such that legs are erected downward from the left and right sides of a seat plate having an opening substantially the same shape as the rim of the upper edge of the toilet bowl. This toilet seat is installed so that the seat plate crosses the upper side of the toilet body from side to side.

  This seat plate also serves as a toilet seat, and a toilet user sits on the peripheral edge of the opening and adds a use. Since this seat plate is sufficiently larger than the conventional toilet seat, the toilet user can poke his hand on the seat plate.

  Further, when the right and left width of the seat plate is increased, the waist can be lowered to the side of the opening, and then the waist can be slid to the opening. When the width of the seat plate is increased, it is possible to lie on the seat plate.

  By configuring the upper surface of the seat plate with a soft material, the seating comfort can be improved, and the seat base can be easily used as a bench chest.

  By providing a lid that can be opened and closed at the opening, the lid can be closed to enhance the aesthetics of the room or prevent the odor from being diffused.

The plan view shape of the opening 5 is substantially the same as the rim of the upper edge of the toilet bowl 8 of the toilet body 7.

  The upper surface of the seat plate 2 is made of a soft material. For example, the upper surface of the seat plate 2 is composed of a soft mat layer made of urethane foam or the like and a skin made of a soft synthetic resin sheet or the like covering the soft mat layer.

  In this embodiment, the leg body 3 is made of a rectangular plate material, and is fixed to the seat plate 2 so as to be integrated with the seat plate 2. Although not shown, an adjuster bolt for height adjustment is provided on the lower end surface of the leg 3.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the lid 6 is composed of a core plate 10 made of a synthetic resin or the like having a predetermined strength and rigidity, and urethane foam or the like mounted on the upper side of the core plate 10. And a skin 12 made of a synthetic resin sheet or the like encapsulating the core plate 10 and the soft material 11. As the lid, as shown in FIG. 5, a lid 6 </ b> A in which the upper and lower sides and the entire outer peripheral edge of the core plate 10 are encapsulated with the soft material 11 and the outside is encapsulated with the outer skin 12 may be used. .

  The outer skin 12 extends rearward from the lid bodies 6 and 6A to form a sheet piece 13. The sheet piece 13 is soft enough to be bent by hand. A first piece 14 of a flat fastener such as Velcro (registered trademark) is bonded to the lower surface of the sheet piece 13. A second piece 15 of a flat fastener is bonded to the rear surface of the opening 5 in the upper surface of the seat plate 2. By joining the first piece 14 to the second piece 15, the lid bodies 6 and 6 </ b> A are detachably attached to the seat plate 2.

  The toilet bowl body 7 is made of earthenware, and the toilet seat and the toilet lid 1 are removed. The toilet bowl 8 of the toilet body 7 communicates with a drain socket 22 via a trap 20 and a drain port 21. A drain pipe 23 is connected to the drain socket 22.
