Description

  The present invention relates to a toilet seat cover that covers an upper portion of a toilet seat of a Western-style toilet and a method for attaching the toilet seat cover.

  Conventionally, in order to avoid a cold feeling when sitting directly on a synthetic resin toilet seat, a cover that covers the toilet seat has been used. In particular, with the recent increase in power saving awareness, it seems that an increasing number of people wear toilet seat covers instead of warming the toilet seat or lowering the set temperature.

  There are various types of toilet seat covers, but the object of the present invention is an elongated sheet-like pile knitted fabric. The toilet seat cover is provided with male and female buttons and fasteners at both ends in the width direction, and is made substantially cylindrical by engaging the male and female members of these buttons and fasteners when attached. For example, inventions such as JP-A-10-179449, JP-A-2006-325953, JP-A-2009-11482, and JP-A-2008-212462 are known.

  Usually, the metal male and female buttons each have a front surface member and a back surface member, and they are driven into the cloth from the top and bottom of the cloth by a driving machine, so that the metal members are exposed above and below the cloth. . Even in the case of a synthetic resin button, the dough is sandwiched between upper and lower molds, and the resin is injected and solidified therein, so that the resin is exposed above and below the dough.

  When a toilet seat cover having such a button is attached to the toilet seat, the engaged male and female buttons may directly contact the open head of the toilet. There are several raised portions at the lower part of the toilet seat, and the toilet seat and toilet head should be in contact with each other at this raised portion, but depending on the location, they are in contact with each other at the button part. In such a case, if you accidentally hit it, the toilet seat may be cracked or damaged.

  In order to solve this problem, an object of the present invention is to prevent a button made of metal or synthetic resin from directly contacting a toilet head.

  The present invention is a toilet seat cover having a cover fabric having a length and a width that covers at least the upper surface of a toilet seat of a Western-style toilet, and is fixed to shoulders on the fulcrum side of the toilet seat provided at both longitudinal ends of the cover fabric. A plurality of pairs of male and female buttons made of synthetic resin, provided at both ends in the width direction of the cover fabric, each of the male and female buttons has a through-hole, and through the through-hole, Each of the male and female buttons is attached to the fabric cover with a thread, the male and female buttons joining the cover fabric are exposed only on one side of the cover fabric, not exposed on the other side, and the male and female buttons face each other By engaging, the engaged male and female buttons are hidden between the cover fabrics.

  Preferably, the height of each male and female button is 2 mm to 3 mm, and the total height of the engaged state of the male and female buttons is 3 mm to 4 mm.

  Preferably, both ends in the width direction of the cover fabric to which the male and female buttons are attached are flat fabrics having no raised piles (Claim 3).

  The method of attaching the toilet seat cover of the present invention is to fix the cover fabric having a length and width that covers at least the upper surface of the toilet seat of the Western-style toilet, and the shoulder on the fulcrum side of the toilet seat provided at both longitudinal ends of the cover fabric. A toilet seat cover having a plurality of male and female buttons made of synthetic resin, provided at both ends in the width direction of the cover fabric, wherein each of the male and female buttons is attached to the fabric cover with a thread. At the time, the male and female buttons for joining the cover fabric are exposed only on one side of the cover fabric and not exposed on the other side, and the male and female buttons are attached so as to face each other and engage with each other. The engaged male and female buttons are hidden between the cover fabrics (Claim 4).

  According to the toilet seat cover and the method of attaching the same according to the present invention, the male and female buttons for joining the cover fabric are exposed only on one side of the cover fabric, and the button is not exposed only on the other side. Therefore, when both are engaged, the male and female buttons are sandwiched between the fabrics and do not contact the toilet seat and the toilet head at all. As a result, a situation where the toilet seat is cracked or damaged is almost completely avoided.

It is a top view of the toilet seat cover of this invention. It is a reverse view of the toilet seat cover of this invention. It is a top view of the state which attached the toilet seat cover of this invention to the toilet seat. It is a back view of the state just before attaching the toilet seat cover of this invention to a toilet seat. It is a reverse view of the state which attached the toilet seat cover of this invention to the toilet seat. It is an expansion perspective view of the state just before engaging male and female buttons. (A) It is sectional drawing just before engaging male and female buttons, (b) It is sectional drawing of an engagement state.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the toilet seat cover 1 includes a cover fabric 11 having a length and a width that covers at least the upper surface of the toilet seat 2 of a Western-style toilet. The side in contact with the human body preferably has a number of raised piles.

  Both ends of the cover fabric 11 in the longitudinal direction are flat fabrics 12 having no raised piles, and belts 13a, 13b and fasteners 14 for fixing to the shoulder portion 21 on the fulcrum side of the toilet seat 2 are provided ( (See FIG. 4). In order to prevent slipping, a thick resin 15 having high slip resistance can be provided.

  Both ends in the width direction of the cover fabric 11 are planar fabrics 16a and 16b having no raised piles, and a plurality of female buttons 3 and female buttons 4 made of synthetic resin are provided there. Although the illustrated number is five, it is possible to increase the number further to, for example, seven. The female button 3 on the front side of the fabric appears only on the left end of the cover fabric 11 (FIG. 1), and the male button 4 on the back side of the fabric appears only on the right end of the cover fabric 11 (FIG. 2).

  As shown in FIG. 5, the male and female buttons 3 and 4 are engaged on the back side of the toilet seat 2 so as to avoid the protrusions (ribs) 22 on the back of the toilet seat (FIG. 5). At this time, the male and female buttons 3 and 4 are sandwiched between the dough and do not contact the toilet seat 2 and the toilet head (not shown). In FIG. 5, the male and female buttons at the center (toilet seat tip) position are preferably colored in a different color from the other buttons to prevent the buttons from being misplaced.

  These buttons 3 and 4 have shapes as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, and are disk-shaped base portions 31, 41, raised portions 32, 42 at the periphery of the base portion, and a female fitting portion 33 rising from the center of the base portion. Or it consists of a male fitting part 43. The base portions 31 and 41 are provided with through holes 34 and 44 at a plurality of locations (four locations in the figure). As is apparent from FIGS. 6 and 7, the buttons 3 and 4 are attached to the fabric 11 with the threads 5 and 6 through the through holes 34 and 44. Accordingly, the buttons 3 and 4 are exposed only on one side of the fabric, and the threads 5 and 6 are only exposed on the other side, and the buttons are not exposed.

  Since the buttons 3 and 4 are sandwiched between the toilet seat 2 and the toilet head, the height of the buttons should be as low as possible. Preferably, the height of each male and female button is about 2 mm to 3 mm, and most preferably about 2.5 mm. The total height of the engaged state of the male and female buttons is preferably about 3 mm to 4 mm, and most preferably about 3.5 mm. Of course, the height of the button depends on the height of the protrusion (rib) on the back of the toilet seat.
