  Embodiments according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the same reference numerals indicate the same or corresponding parts.

First embodiment.
As a first embodiment, a sitting toilet seat that includes a pelvic rotating portion and thereby realizes a posture that facilitates defecation with a reduced rectal curvature when seated on the toilet seat will be described. FIGS. 1 and 2 are a plan view and a perspective view, respectively, of the entire seat for toilet seat according to the present embodiment. In the present specification and claims, the direction-related description includes “front” on the lower side of the page, “rear” on the upper side of the page, “left” on the left side of the page, “right” on the right side of the page, and front side of the page. Is performed based on the relationship of “upper” and “bottom” of the back side of the paper.

  The sitting toilet seat 1 according to the present embodiment is used by being placed on a toilet bowl (not shown), and includes a support 3 and a pelvis rotating unit 5. The support 3 supports the user's body and is configured to surround an opening 7 that allows excretion to fall into a toilet (not shown). In the present embodiment, the support body 3 is an annular member, but may be configured in other forms such as a C-shape with a front portion interrupted. At the rear part of the support 3, there is provided a rotation support portion 9 that supports the seat 1 so that the seat 1 can be raised and lowered with respect to the toilet in a swinging manner. Moreover, the support body 3 is comprised by the left-right symmetric shape.

  FIGS. 3 and 4 are views showing the shape of the sitting toilet seat according to the present embodiment in a front-rear direction cross section and a left-right direction cross section, respectively. FIG. 3 shows four cross-sections in the front-rear direction, that is, cross-sections in the front-rear direction at positions 110 mm, 130 mm, 150 mm, and 170 mm away from the left-right centerline CL of the seat 1. As shown in these longitudinal sections, the support 3 of the seat 1 has a shape in which the front half has a relatively small height difference and is inclined forward so that the rear half is at a higher position. It has a shape.

  FIG. 4 shows a cross section in the left-right direction at a position 40 mm backward and 17.3 mm (−17.3 mm) and 40 mm (−40 mm) away from the opening maximum width forming portion 13 in the front-rear center. The opening maximum width forming portion 13 is a portion of a left-right extension line that includes a portion in which the width in the left-right direction related to the opening 7 is maximized when the sitting toilet seat is projected from above. As shown in the cross section in the left-right direction of FIG. 4, the support 3 has a top surface 19 positioned downward as viewed from the outer edge 15 to the inner edge 17, that is, an upper surface 19 positioned below the opening 7. Have Curves 21 and 23 are formed at the upper portions of the outer edge 15 and the inner edge 17, respectively. In addition, since the aforementioned maximum opening width forming portion 13 is a portion determined with respect to the opening width as viewed from above, in the present embodiment, due to the presence of the curve 23, the maximum opening width forming portion 13 is The distance V between the lower portions of the left and right inner edges 17 is determined to be the widest. Furthermore, the support body 3 has a seating surface lowermost forming portion 25. Here, the seating surface lowermost part formation part of this invention is demonstrated using FIG. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a ridge line in a seat on the seat, and (b) is a cross-sectional view in the front-rear direction along the reference numeral 305 in (a). As described above, the support 3 includes the flat upper surface 19 and the curve 23 at the end on the inner edge 17 side. And the ridgeline L as shown in FIG. 5 can be derived | led-out by connecting the connection point P of the upper surface 19 and the curve 23 in the cross section radially extended from the center of the opening 7. FIG. And the seat surface lowermost part formation part 25 is a part of the left-right extension line which contains the lowest site | part of the ridgeline L. As shown in FIG.

The pelvic rotating part 5 is located on the upper surface of the rear side of the support 3 and is a part that comes into contact with the user's buttocks when the user is seated. The user's pelvis is rotated with the side moving forward. The pelvis rotating part 5 includes a front inclined surface part 27, and the weight of the user seated on the sitting toilet seat 1 is mainly supported by the front inclined surface part 27. The front inclined surface portion 27 is a hatched region in FIG. 3 and is provided on the upper surface of the support 3 at a position where it comes into contact with the user's buttocks when the user is seated, and is inclined forward so that the front side is lowered. Configured.
As shown in FIG. 3, the front inclined surface portion 27 is immediately behind the seat surface lowermost portion forming portion 25, and the maximum opening width forming portion 13 is located in the middle of the front inclined surface portion 27. Further, in FIG. 3, a line indicating the upper surface of the support body of an existing toilet seat is indicated by reference Z for reference. As can be seen from this reference line Z, on the upper surface of the support of the existing toilet seat, the region immediately behind the seat surface lowermost forming portion is almost horizontal. On the other hand, on the upper surface of the support body of the present invention, the front inclined surface portion 27, which is a region that contacts the user's buttocks and supports the buttocks, is formed so as to rise higher toward the rear.
In the present embodiment, the seat surface lowermost forming portion 25 is positioned at a portion of about 238 mm from the front end of the support 3 with respect to the front and rear length of about 414 mm and the left and right length of about 393 mm. . Further, the front inclined surface portion 27 is formed over a region of about 77 mm in the front-rear direction, immediately behind the seat surface lowermost portion forming portion 25.

  Next, the operation of the sitting toilet seat according to the present embodiment having such a configuration will be described. The present invention is intended to reduce the rectal curvature of the user in order to improve defecation. Therefore, the present inventor focused on the relationship between defecation and the pelvis and rectum, and further focused on the pelvis as a specific means for reducing the curvature. FIGS. 6A and 6B are views showing the relationship between the posture of the user and the pelvis and rectum, respectively. As shown in FIG. 6 (a), the user 31 sitting on the sitting toilet seat normally takes a natural and easy posture with his upper body raised. However, in this natural posture, the pelvis 33 tilts backward and a force acts on the rectum 37 through the pubic rectal muscle 35, and the rectum 37 is curved as shown in FIG. . Therefore, if a natural posture is taken in a conventional seat, the defecation is deteriorated. On the other hand, according to the study by the present inventor, when the pelvis 33 is rotated in the forward direction with respect to the state of FIG. The force exerted on the body is reduced, and the curvature of the rectum 37 is relaxed. As a result, defecation is improved. However, in order to make the pelvis 33 easy to defecate in the conventional toilet seat, as shown in FIG. 6 (b), the seated user 31 is cramped and unnatural with the upper body tilted forward. Forced to take a special attitude.

The sitting toilet seat of the present invention is made in view of the above, and according to the sitting toilet seat of the present invention, the pelvis was rotated in the forward rotation direction even when the user took a posture of sitting naturally on the toilet seat. The state shown in FIG. For this reason, curvature of the rectum can be relaxed while taking a natural posture, and defecation is improved.
FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the function of the pelvis rotating unit according to the present invention. A front inclined surface portion 27 is provided on the upper surface of the support 3 at a position where the user is seated. When the user sits on the front inclined surface portion 27, first, the user's collar 39 and the front inclined surface portion 27 are in a positional relationship indicated by a dotted line in FIG. Next, when the user puts his / her weight on the front inclined surface portion 27 of the support body 3, the downwardly inclined gravity M according to the body weight is supported by the front inclined surface portion 27. The gravity M can be decomposed into a component force a parallel to the front inclined surface portion 27 and a vertical component force (not shown) orthogonal to the front inclined surface portion 27, and the user's body can move the front inclined surface portion in the gravity M. 27, the component force a parallel to 27 tends to slide down along the slope of the front inclined surface portion 27. Furthermore, against such slip-off, the skin contacting the front inclined surface portion 27 of the user's buttocks 39 has a frictional force caused by a vertical component force (not shown) perpendicular to the front inclined surface portion 27 in the gravity M. d acts upward of the slope of the front inclined surface portion 27. By the action of the component force a and the frictional force d, in the user's body, the internal tissue inside the skin of the buttocks 39 tends to slide down along the front inclined surface portion 27 by the component force a of gravity M. On the other hand, the skin of the heel part 39 stays on the front inclined surface part 27 by the frictional force d with the front inclined surface part 27, and the user's heel part 39 settles to the position shown by the solid line in FIG. This is equivalent to receiving a force that causes the skin of the buttocks to be pulled backward by the frictional force between the user and the front inclined surface portion 27 when viewed from the user's buttocks (inside tissue). The user's pelvis 33 is rotated forward by force as shown by a solid line in FIG. Objectively, as shown in FIG. 7, the internal structure of the heel part 39 slips downward along the front inclined surface part 27 by the component force a, and the skin of the heel part 39 is inclined forward by the frictional force d. It remains on the surface portion 27. As the internal tissue, the femur and the pelvis 33 connected to the femur and the tissue surrounding them move downward, but the lower part of the pelvis 33 is close to the skin of the hip 39 that remains on the front inclined surface portion 27 by the frictional force d. The movement of the inner side tissues brings the pelvis 33 with a rotational force T in a direction to move the upper part of the pelvis forward. As a result, the pelvis 33 rotates from the dotted line state to the solid line state in FIG. 7, that is, rises in the forward rotation direction.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the user 31 simply sits on the front inclined surface portion 27, and as shown in FIG. 6B, the user 31 moves the pelvis 33 in the natural posture without taking the forward inclined posture. A posture that can be rotated to stand up in the rolling direction and has good defecation properties, that is, a posture that facilitates defecation in which the force exerted by the pubic rectal muscle 35 on the rectum 37 is reduced and the curvature of the rectum 37 is relaxed is obtained. be able to.

  A modification of the first embodiment described above will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 shows a plane and a cross section in the front-rear direction of a sitting toilet seat according to this modification. (B) is the front-back direction cross section which followed the code | symbol 308 of (a). A sitting toilet seat 51 according to this modification includes a slip-off reduction unit 53. When the internal tissue of the buttocks 39 slides downward along the front inclined surface portion 27 due to the component force parallel to the front inclined surface portion 27 of gravity acting on the user, the slip-off reducing portion 53 moves to the user's thigh. This is a portion configured to contact the back surface of the thigh and provide resistance to slipping of the thigh, and is provided in front of the pelvis rotating unit 5. The sliding reduction part 53 includes a rear inclined surface part 55 whose front side becomes higher. The rear inclined surface portion 55 is provided in front of the front inclined surface portion 27 so as to sandwich the seat surface lowermost portion forming portion 25 with the front inclined surface portion 27. Although not limited, as an example, the inclination of the rear inclined surface portion 55 may be set to be smaller than the inclination of the front inclined surface portion 27 as shown in FIG.

  Also in such a sitting toilet seat 51, by providing the pelvic rotating unit 5 including the front inclined surface portion 27, when seated, the user's pelvis rises in the forward rotation direction as in the sitting toilet seat 1 of FIGS. It is possible to obtain a posture that facilitates defecation with a relaxed rectal curvature. In addition to this, the following effects are also obtained in this modification. First, as described above, by sitting on the front inclined surface portion 27, the internal tissue inside the skin of the buttocks slides downward along the front inclined surface portion 27 due to the force a of gravity M. Here, when the user's thigh is greatly slipped, there is a possibility that the skin of the user's buttocks in contact with the front inclined surface portion 27 may be greatly slipped. On the other hand, in this modification, the slip-off reducing unit 53 comes into contact with the back surface of the user's thigh and provides resistance to the forward movement of the thigh. Thus, the rotational force T for forward rotation due to the above-described component force a and frictional force d of the gravity M works firmly on the pelvis. Further, since the rear inclined surface portion 55 is provided immediately in front of the front inclined surface portion 27, that is, provided near the pelvis, the aforementioned rotational force T can be applied to the pelvis more accurately. In addition, if the inclination of the rear inclined surface portion is too large, the user's knee may be raised too much, and the effect of promoting the forward rotation of the pelvis by the front inclined surface portion may be reduced. By making the inclination of the lower than the inclination of the front inclined surface portion 27, it is possible to avoid a decrease in the effect of promoting the forward rotation of the pelvis while suppressing a large drop of the thigh.

  Based on FIG. 9, yet another modification of the first embodiment will be described. FIGS. 9A and 9B are side views of a sitting toilet seat according to this modification. The sitting toilet seat 61 according to this modification includes a seating pretilt mechanism 63 in FIG. 9A or a seating pretilt mechanism 65 in FIG. 9B. The seating forward tilt mechanisms 63 and 65 change the posture of the support 3 so that the entire support 3 tilts forward with respect to the toilet bowl when the user's weight is applied to the support 3 at the time of sitting. More specifically, the seating forward tilt mechanism 63 of (a) is composed of an elastic member provided on the bottom surface of the support body 3 of the sitting toilet seat 61 as a leg portion. Further, the seating forward tilting mechanism 65 of (b) is composed of at least two pairs of front and rear elastic members provided on the bottom surface of the support 3 of the sitting toilet seat 61 as leg portions. In the elastic member of the seating forward tilt mechanism 65, the elastic member provided on the rear side has a relationship that the elastic modulus is higher than that of the elastic member provided on the front side.

  Also in such a sitting toilet seat 61, by providing the pelvic rotating unit 5 including the front inclined surface portion 27, the user's pelvis rises in the forward rotation direction when seated, similar to the sitting toilet seat 1 of FIGS. 1 to 7. It is possible to obtain a posture that facilitates defecation with a relaxed rectal curvature. In addition, in this modified example, the seat surface tilts forward during the seating movement by the seating forward tilt mechanisms 63 and 65, so that the user is additionally given a sliding action, and the pelvis is rotated more reliably. Can be urged. Further, even when the sliding action is insufficient when seated, the seating surface is further tilted forward when the body weight is applied, so that the sliding action can be obtained more reliably.

Fourth embodiment.
As a fourth embodiment, it is provided with an open leg suppressing part, thereby suppressing the user's open leg and maintaining the relaxation of the muscle group that applies tensile force to the lower pelvic side as described later. A sitting toilet seat that makes the pelvis easy to stand in the forward rotation direction and obtains a posture that facilitates defecation with a relaxed rectal curvature will be described. (A) of FIG. 25 is a plan view of the sitting toilet seat according to the present embodiment, and (b) shows a cross section along a cutting line extending from the center front to the outer rear indicated by reference numeral 325 in (a). FIG. The sitting toilet seat 241 includes a support body 3, a front inclined surface portion 27, a seat surface lowermost portion forming portion 25 provided in front of the front inclined surface portion 27, and an open leg suppressing portion that suppresses an open leg when the user is seated. 243. In the present embodiment, the leg opening restraining portion 243 includes a pair of restraining concave grooves 245 that extend in the shape of a letter C in plan view so that the distance increases toward the front of the support 3. Thereby, each of the user's thighs is dropped into the corresponding restraining concave grooves 245, so that the thighs are restrained from opening from the side. The suppression groove 245 is provided in the vicinity of the seat surface lowermost formation portion 25. Further, each of the restraining concave grooves 245 includes an inner slope 245a located near the center of the support 3 and an outer slope 245b located near the left and right outer sides of the support 3, and the slope of the inner slope 245a has an outer slope. It is smaller than the inclination of 245b.

  Next, the operation of the sitting toilet seat according to the present embodiment having such a configuration will be described. Prior to that, the relationship between the open leg of the thigh and the pelvis will be described. FIG. 26 is a diagram showing the relationship between the thigh opening leg and the pelvic backward tilt, and FIG. 27 is a diagram showing the effect of thigh opening suppression on the pelvis. As shown in FIG. 26, there is an adductor muscle group 43 at the base of the femur 41, and the rear end of the adductor muscle group 43 is finally connected to the lower part of the pelvis 33. The front end of the group 43 is finally connected to the femur 41. For this reason, when the thigh is opened, as shown in FIG. 26, the adductor muscle group 43 is pulled, and the tension generated in the adductor muscle group 43 increases. Due to the increase in the tension, the lower portion of the pelvis 33 is pulled forward, that is, the pelvis 33 is subjected to a rotational force in a reverse direction. The rotational force in the backward rotation direction inhibits the forward rotation of the pelvis 33 that the present invention intends to achieve. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 27, when the legs of the thighs are suppressed, that is, when the thighs are kept closed to some extent, the relaxation of the adductor muscle group 43 is also maintained. Thus, an increase in the rotational force in the backward rotation direction in the pelvis 33 is avoided, and the pelvis 33 becomes easier to roll forward.

  In the present embodiment, based on the relationship between the leg opening of the thigh and the pelvis, by providing the leg opening suppressing portion 243, the user's leg is suppressed and a tensile force is applied to the lower pelvis side. By maintaining the relaxation of the muscle groups, the pelvis can be easily lifted in the forward direction, and the posture of the bowel can be acquired with ease of rectal curvature. Further, by adopting a pair of restraining concave grooves 245 extending in the shape of a square in plan view so that the distance increases toward the front of the support 3 as the leg opening restraining portion 243, Directly prevent directional movement and suppress user's leg opening. In addition, by employ | adopting a pair of suppression ditch | groove 245, the contact area with a toilet seat can be expanded to the side surface of each thigh, By making a user act a frictional force more reliably, Further, there is an advantage that the pelvic forward rotation is more surely generated by the frictional force and the gravity force. Furthermore, since the suppression ditch | groove 245 is each provided in the vicinity of the seat surface lowermost part formation part 25, the suppression ditch | groove 245 will be in the vicinity of the pelvis 33. FIG. Therefore, the frictional force to the user due to the restraining concave groove 245 can also be applied from closer to the pelvis 33, and the frictional force and the gravitational force can function efficiently to rotate the pelvis.

  Further, in the present embodiment, an advantage resulting from the turning motion around the axis of the femur is also obtained. FIG. 28 (a) shows the turning motion of the femur. FIG. 28 (b) shows the femoral turning motion in an abstract cross-section along the reference numeral 328 of FIG. 28 (a). As shown by an arrow 41a in FIG. 28, when a rotational force is applied to the femur 41 in the direction of external rotation around its axis, the front end of the actual femur 41 is connected to the knee. As a result of restraint with respect to the turning motion, the result appears as an open leg motion of the thigh such that the left and right knees move away from each other. On the contrary, as shown by the arrow 41b on the femur 41, when a rotational force in the direction of performing the internal rotation is applied around the axis, the left and right knees move as a result of approaching. Appears as a thigh-closed leg movement. Based on such a relationship, in the present embodiment, the slope of the inner slope 245a of the restraint groove 245 is smaller than the slope of the outer slope 245b, and the restraint groove 245 supports the macroscopic view. It can be seen that the body 3 is inclined from the outside toward the center (opening), so that each of the left and right thighs is oriented so as to perform an internal rotation motion that falls toward the opening 7. Receives rotational force. Therefore, as a result, the leg closing movement of the thigh that moves in the direction in which the left and right knees approach from the aforementioned relationship is promoted, the relaxation of the muscle group is further maintained, and the rise of the pelvis is further increased. The advantage of being easy is obtained.

  A modification of the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. (A) of FIG. 29 shows the plane of the seat on the seat according to this modification in which the slope of the outer slope of the restraining groove is not uniform, and (b) and (c) are reference numerals 329 of (a), It is a figure which shows the cross section which follows the cutting line extended from the center front shown to 429 to the back outside. The sitting toilet seat 251 includes a support body 3, a front inclined surface portion 27, a seat surface lowermost portion forming portion 25, and an open leg suppressing portion 253 that suppresses an open leg when the user is seated. The open leg suppressing portion 253 includes a pair of suppressing concave grooves 255 extending in a square shape in plan view so that the interval increases toward the front of the support 3. Each of the restraining concave grooves 255 is provided in the vicinity of the seat surface lowermost forming portion 25. Each of the restraining grooves 255 includes an inner slope 255a located closer to the center of the support 3 and an outer slope 255b located closer to the left and right outer sides of the support 3. The slope of the inner slope 255a has an outer slope. It is smaller than the inclination of 255b. Furthermore, the inclination of the outer inclined surface 255 b in the suppression groove 255 is not uniform, and changes so as to decrease toward the front in the extending direction of the suppression groove 255. For example, two cross sections are shown in FIG. 29, and the cross section (c) is a cross section that is located in front of the cross section of (b) in the extending direction of the restraining groove 255. The inclination of the outer slope 255b in the section (c) is smaller than the inclination of the outer slope 255b in the section (b).

  Depending on the sitting toilet seat 251, the leg opening restraining unit 253 is provided to suppress the user's leg opening and maintain the relaxation of the muscle group that applies a tensile force to the lower pelvic side, so that the pelvis is rotated forward. It is easy to stand up and acquire a posture that makes bowel movement easier with rectal curvature. Furthermore, by providing a pair of restraining concave grooves 255, it is possible to directly prevent lateral movement with respect to the individual thighs, to restrain the user's legs, and to the toilet seat to the side of each thigh. The pelvic forward rotation due to the frictional force and the gravitational force can be more reliably generated. Furthermore, since the restraining concave groove 255 is closer to the pelvis 33, the pelvis can be rotated by efficiently functioning the frictional force and the gravity component. Furthermore, due to the rotational force in the direction of performing internal rotation, the thighs are encouraged to move in the legs, the muscle groups are more relaxed, and the pelvis can be easily lifted. can get.

  In addition, the thigh of the user seated on the toilet seat is compressed at the front side. This is due to the following. As can be seen from the positional relationship between the seated user's buttocks and thighs and the support shown in FIG. 30, the portion closer to the rear of the thigh fits inside the support 3, while the thigh There is an increased tendency for the portion closer to the front side to protrude outwardly from the left and right sides of the support 3. For this reason, the thigh of the seated user tends to be more pressed at the front side. On the other hand, in this modified example, as described with reference to the cross-sectional views of FIGS. 29B and 29C described above, the inclination of the outer inclined surface 255b of the restraining concave groove 255 becomes smaller toward the front. Therefore, there is an advantage that such a pressure can be avoided and the burden on the user can be reduced. That is, in this modified example, in the portion of the thigh that is close to the pelvis, the effect of promoting the rise of the pelvis by suppressing leg opening is obtained, but in the portion of the thigh that does not affect it, compression is avoided and the burden on the user is avoided. There is also an advantage that can be reduced.

  A further modification of the fourth embodiment will be described based on FIG. (A) of FIG. 31 shows the plane of the sitting toilet seat which concerns on this modification in which the suppression ditch | groove includes a flat surface, (b) is the cutting | disconnection extended outside outward from the center front shown with the code | symbol 331 of (a). It is a figure which shows the cross section which follows a line. The sitting toilet seat 261 includes a support body 3, a front inclined surface portion 27, a seat surface lowermost forming portion 25, and an open leg suppressing portion 263 that suppresses an open leg when the user is seated. The leg opening suppressing portion 263 includes a pair of suppressing concave grooves 265 extending in a C shape in a plan view so that the distance increases toward the front of the support 3. Each of the suppression grooves 265 is provided in the vicinity of the seat surface lowermost forming portion 25. Each of the suppression grooves 265 includes an inner slope 265a located near the center of the support 3 and an outer slope 265b located near the left and right outer sides of the support 3. The slope of the inner slope 265a has an outer slope. It is smaller than the inclination of 265b. Further, the leg opening suppressing portion 263 includes a flat surface 267 extending in the horizontal direction further toward the center of the support body and in front of the inner slope of the suppression groove. In addition, although not limited, in this modified example, the inclination of the outer inclined surface 255b may be configured to change so as to decrease toward the front in the extending direction of the suppression concave groove 255.

  Also with this seat 261, the leg restraining part 263 is provided, so that the leg of the user can be restrained, the pelvis can be easily raised in the forward rotation direction, and the posture for easy defecation with reduced rectal curvature is obtained. . Further, the pair of restraining concave grooves 265 directly prevent lateral movement with respect to the individual thighs, suppress the open legs, and expand the contact area with the toilet seat to the side surfaces of the individual thighs. In this case, the pelvic forward rotation can be caused more reliably. Furthermore, since the restraining concave groove 245 is closer to the pelvis 33, the pelvis can be rotated by efficiently functioning the frictional force and the gravitational force. Further, it is possible to obtain an advantage of facilitating the leg closing movement of the thigh due to the rotational force in the direction of performing the internal rotation movement and making the pelvis standing up more easily. Further, as described above, the thigh portion may be compressed as the portion closer to the front side. In the present modification, the thigh portion is further closer to the center of the support body 3 than the inner slope 265a and to the front in the horizontal direction. Since the extended flat surface 267 is provided, in the portion close to the pelvis of the thigh, while obtaining the effect of promoting the rise of the pelvis by suppressing the leg opening, in the portion of the thigh that does not affect it, the compression is avoided and the user is avoided. There is also an advantage that the burden on the user can be reduced.

Fifth embodiment.
As a fifth embodiment, a sitting toilet seat that includes a slip-down reducing portion, thereby providing resistance to forward movement of the thigh and reducing a large slip of the thigh will be described. This embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. (A) of FIG. 32 shows the plane of the sitting toilet seat which concerns on this Embodiment, (b), (c) is the front-back direction cross section which follows the code | symbols 332,432 of (a). The sitting toilet seat 271 includes a support 3, a front inclined surface portion 27, a seat surface lowermost portion forming portion 25, and a slip-off reducing portion 273. When the internal tissue of the buttock 39 slides downward along the front inclined surface portion 27 by the component force parallel to the front inclined surface portion 27 of gravity acting on the user, the slip-off reducing portion 273 is moved to the user's thigh. This is a portion configured to come into contact with the back surface of the thigh and provide resistance to slipping of the thigh, and is provided in front of the front inclined surface portion 27. Further, the slip-down reducing portion 273 includes a rear inclined surface portion 275 whose front side is increased. The rear inclined surface portion 275 is provided in front of the front inclined surface portion 27 so as to sandwich the seat surface lowermost portion forming portion 25 with the front inclined surface portion 27. The inclination of the rear inclined surface portion 275 in the front-rear direction is smaller than the center of the support 3 as the position is on the outer side of the support 3. As an example, FIG. 32 shows two cross sections, and the cross section of (c) is a cross section located outside the support 3 with respect to the cross section of (b). The inclination in the front-rear direction of the rear inclined surface part 275 in the cross section of (b) is smaller than the inclination in the front-rear direction of the rear inclined surface part 275 in the cross section of (c). The inclination of the rear inclined surface portion 275 may be set to be smaller than the inclination of the front inclined surface portion 27.

  Even with such a sitting toilet seat 271, by providing the front inclined surface portion 27, the user's pelvis rises in the forward rotation direction when seated like the sitting toilet seat 1 of FIGS. It is possible to obtain a posture that is easy to defecate. In addition to this, the following effects are also obtained in the present embodiment. First, as described above, by sitting on the front inclined surface portion 27, the inner side tissue inside the skin of the buttocks slides downward along the front inclined surface portion 27 due to the force of gravity. Here, if the user's thigh falls significantly, the effect of the frictional force between the skin of the buttocks and the front inclined surface portion 27 cannot be obtained sufficiently, and the pelvis translates in parallel with the front inclined surface portion 27. There is a problem that only insufficient rotation can be obtained. In contrast, in the present embodiment, the slip-off reduction unit 273 comes into contact with the back surface of the user's thigh and provides resistance to the forward movement of the thigh. Is reduced, and the rotational force for forward rotation due to the gravitational force and frictional force works firmly on the pelvis. Moreover, in this Embodiment, such an effect | action is acquired only by the device of the form of the support body which forms the back inclined surface part 275, without requiring an additional part. In addition, the rear inclined surface portion 275 for suppressing slip-down may press the back side of the thigh and cause a burden on the user, so that the outer inclination of the rear inclined surface portion 275 is made smaller than the central inclination. Thus, the pressure acting on the back side of the thigh can be dispersed to the outside of the support. Thereby, the burden which acts on a user's body can also be reduced significantly, suppressing the big slip of a user's thigh by a back inclined surface part.

  A modification of the fifth embodiment will be described based on FIG. (A) of FIG. 33 shows the plane of the sitting toilet seat according to this modification, (b) shows a front-rear direction cross section near the center of the support body along the reference numeral 333 of (a), (c), ( (d) is a figure which shows the variation from which the cross section of the front-back direction near the outer side of the support body which follows the code | symbol 433 of (a) differs.

  The sitting toilet seat 281 includes a support 3, a front inclined surface portion 27, a seat surface lowest portion forming portion 25, and a slip-off reducing portion 283. The slip reduction part 283 is a part configured to contact the back surface of the user's thigh and provide resistance to slipping of the thigh, and is provided in front of the front inclined surface part 27. . The sliding reduction portion 283 of this modification includes a rear inclined surface portion 285 and a flat surface portion 287a or a second front inclined surface portion 287b. The rear inclined surface portion 285 and the flat surface portion 287a or the second front inclined surface portion 287b are both provided in front of the front inclined surface portion 27 so as to sandwich the seating surface lowermost portion forming portion 25 with the front inclined surface portion 27. However, the rear inclined surface portion 285 is provided only near the center of the support 3 in front of the front inclined surface portion 27 as shown in the cross section of FIG. 33 (b), and the flat surface portion 287a or the second front inclined surface portion 287b is provided. 33, as shown in the cross section of (c) or (d) in FIG. 33, it is arranged only on the outer side of the support body 3 in front of the front inclined surface portion 27. Note that the inclination of the rear inclined surface portion 285 may be set to be smaller than the inclination of the front inclined surface portion 27.

  Also with such a sitting toilet seat 281, by providing the front inclined surface portion 27, as with the sitting toilet seat 271 of FIG. 32, when seated, the user's pelvis rises in the forward rotation direction and the bowel movement in which rectal curvature is relaxed A posture that is easy to do can be obtained. In addition, since the slip-off reduction unit 283 comes into contact with the back surface of the user's thigh and provides resistance to the forward movement of the thigh, a large drop of the thigh is reduced, and the gravity force and The rotational force for the forward rotation due to the frictional force works firmly on the pelvis. Further, such an action can be obtained only by devising the form of the support body by forming the rear inclined surface portion 285 and the flat surface portion 287a or the second front inclined surface portion 287b without requiring additional parts. ing. Further, there is a possibility that the rear inclined surface portion for suppressing slip-down may press the back side of the thigh and put a burden on the user. However, the rear inclined surface portion 285 of this modification is provided only at a position near the center of the support 3. Since the flat surface portion 287a or the second front inclined surface portion 287b is provided at a position closer to the outer side of the support body 3 (on the side of the rear inclined surface portion 285), the pressure acting on the back side of the thigh is supported by the support body. Can be dispersed outside. Thereby, the burden which acts on a user's body can also be reduced significantly, suppressing the big slip of a user's thigh by a back inclined surface part.

  Based on FIG. 34, still another modification of the fifth embodiment will be described. (A) of FIG. 34 shows the plane of the sitting toilet seat which concerns on this modification, (b) is the front-back direction cross section along the code | symbol 334 of (a). As shown in the cross section of (b) in FIG. 34, the seat of toilet seat 291 of the present modified example has a lower front side in front of the rear inclined surface portion 275 or 285 in the modified example shown in FIG. 32 or FIG. Further, the front inclined surface portion 297 is provided for forward pressure relief. Note that the inclination of the rear inclined surface portions 275 and 285 may be set to be smaller than the inclination of the front inclined surface portion 27.

  Such a sitting toilet seat 291 can provide the same operation as the sitting toilet seats 271 and 281 of FIGS. In addition, in the sitting toilet seat 291, the pressure acting on the back side of the thigh can be distributed to the front of the support body, thereby reducing the load acting on the user's body.

  The contents of the present invention have been specifically described above with reference to preferred embodiments. However, a person skilled in the art can take various modifications based on the basic technical idea and teachings of the present invention. is there.
