Description

The present disclosure relates to a toilet device.

Conventionally, a toilet device including a toilet body having a body cover and a toilet seat rotatably attached to the toilet body is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The upper surface of the main body cover described in Patent Document 1 is formed linearly in the front-rear direction.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2018-27172

Since the upper surface of the main body cover described in Patent Document 1 is formed linearly in the front-rear direction, the storage space inside the main body cover may be narrowed. Since the upper surface of the main body cover is linear in the front-rear direction, there is room for improving the design of the main body cover.

An object of the present disclosure is to provide a toilet device capable of improving the design of the main body cover while securing a storage space inside the main body cover.

The upper surface 611 on the rear side of the main body cover is formed on the upper portion on the rear side of the upper surface 431 on the front side of the main body cover formed on the base cover 4, and is curved convexly in the left-right direction as shown in FIG. The convex portion 43 of the base cover 4 arranged below the top cover 6 is also curved in the left-right direction in the same manner as the upper surface 611 on the rear side of the main body cover of the top cover 6.

According to the toilet device 1 of the present embodiment described above, the following effects are obtained. In the toilet device 1 of the present embodiment, the toilet seat 11 has a central rear side portion 111b formed on the rear side of the central side in the left-right direction, and the main body cover 3 is a case where the toilet seat 11 is located in the closed position. It has a main body cover front upper surface 431 that is arranged on the rear side of the toilet seat 11 and is curved upward in the front-rear direction, and the central rear rear side portion 111b covers the upper surface of the central rear rear side portion 111b. It is formed in a shape that prevents the upper surface 431 (described later) on the front side of the main body cover of the toilet main body 2 from being located on the virtual extension line L1 extending to the 3 side.

Therefore, even if the shape of the main body cover 3 is increased in order to increase the internal accommodation space of the main body cover 3, the shape of the upper surface of the central rear side portion 111b and the upper surface of the central rear side portion 111b are the main body cover 3 It can be formed in a shape that avoids the position of the upper surface 431 on the front side of the main body cover of the toilet main body 2 on the virtual extension line L1 extending to the side. Thereby, the sitting comfort on the toilet seat 11 can be improved. A storage space inside the main body cover 3 can be secured. Therefore, it is possible to improve the sitting comfort on the toilet seat 11 and improve the design of the main body cover 3 while securing the storage space inside the main body cover 3.

In the present embodiment, the main body cover 3 has a shape that prevents the central rear side portion 111b of the toilet seat 11 from being located on the virtual extension line L2 in which the central side of the upper surface 431 on the front side of the main body cover is extended to the toilet seat 11 side. Is formed in. As a result, the storage space inside the upper surface 431 on the front side of the main body cover of the base cover 4 can be increased.

In the present embodiment, the upper surface of the central rear side portion 111b is formed by being curved in a concave shape when the toilet seat 11 is located at the closed position. As a result, the upper surface of the central rear side portion 111b has a shape that makes it easy to avoid the main body cover 3. Therefore, the storage space inside the main body cover 3 can be easily secured.

In the present embodiment, the main body cover 3 is arranged below the rear end portion on the central side in the left-right direction of the toilet lid 12 when the toilet lid 12 is in the closed position, and is formed linearly in the left-right direction. It has a cover front upper surface 431 and a main body cover rear upper surface 611 formed on the upper portion on the rear side of the main body cover front upper surface 431 and curved in the left-right direction. As a result, the main body cover 3 can secure the storage space inside the main body cover 3 on the rear side while pressing the lower height of the rear end portion on the central side in the left-right direction of the toilet lid 12 on the front side. Since the upper surface 431 on the front side of the main body cover is formed in a straight line, a force acts downward on the toilet lid 12 in the state where the toilet lid 12 is in the closed position, and the rear surface of the toilet lid 12 in the left-right direction is the center side. When the end portion of the main body cover 3 of the toilet main body 2 comes into contact with the front upper surface 431 of the main body cover of the base cover 4, the upper surface 431 on the front side of the main body cover can uniformly receive the force.

In the present embodiment, the toilet seat hinge portion 112 is formed at a position lower than the upper surface 431 on the front side of the main body cover of the base cover 4. As a result, the storage space inside the upper surface 431 on the front side of the main body cover of the base cover 4 can be increased inside the toilet seat hinge portion 112 in the left-right direction.

In the present embodiment, when the toilet seat 11 is located in the closed position, the toilet seat hinge portion 112 is formed so as to be curved in an upward inclination from the front side to the rear side and to be convexly curved upward. .. As a result, the storage space inside the main body cover 3 can be increased below the toilet seat hinge portion 112.

In the present embodiment, the main body cover 3 has a hinge portion lower curved portion 44 arranged below the toilet seat hinge portion 112 when the toilet seat 11 is in the closed position, and the upper surface of the hinge portion lower curved portion 44 is When the toilet seat 11 is located in the closed position, it is formed so as to be convexly curved upward so as to follow the shape of the toilet seat hinge portion 112. As a result, the accommodation space inside the main body cover 3 can be increased in the curved portion 44 on the lower side of the hinge portion.

The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure have been described above. The present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be changed as appropriate.
For example, in the above embodiment, the upper surface of the central rear side portion 111b of the toilet seat 11 is formed by being curved in a concave shape. Not limited to this, the upper surface of the central rear side portion 111b of the toilet seat 11 may be formed in a straight line.
