BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a casing for a buttocks dryer, which is installed together with a hot water washing device for a Western style toilet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, a hot water washing apparatus for washing a human body part with warm water after the use of feces has become popular. In the hot water washing device, the human body part gets wet after the washing, so that a buttock dryer is often installed together with the hot water washing device so that the human body part can be dried without using toilet paper or the like. FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the conventional buttock dryer 2. The buttock dryer 2 is integrally housed in the toilet seat box 1. Although illustration is omitted, the toilet seat box 1 is a box for holding a toilet seat or a toilet lid on a Western-style toilet so that the toilet seat and the toilet lid can be opened and closed, and for storing the hot water cleaning device and various electric parts. Installed on the rear upper surface of the Western style toilet. The toilet seat and the toilet lid can be attached toward the lower right direction in FIG.

By the way, the conventional buttock dryer 2 has been devised so that the number of parts can be reduced in order to facilitate the assembly and reduce the manufacturing cost. That is, in the buttock dryer 2, the casing is divided into upper and lower case divisions 2a and 2b, and the lower case division 2b is the lower half body 1b of the toilet seat box 1 described above.
It is formed integrally with.

[0004]

The buttock dryer 2 is generally subjected to its own performance inspection prior to the comprehensive assembly work and completion inspection of the toilet seat box 1. Therefore, the lower half body 1b of the toilet seat box 1 (where the lower case body 2b is formed) and the upper case body 2a
After a fan device and a heater (both not shown) are housed between the two, the two (2a, 2b) are fixed using a plurality of screws, and the performance is inspected. However, this performance test was very inconvenient to handle, because the lower half body 1b of the toilet seat box 1 was as large as the shoulder width of a person. Also, buttocks dryer 2
In order to assemble the lower case body 2b and the upper case body 2a, a plurality of screws are used as described above, which is also a very troublesome work. After all, the performance inspection of the buttock dryer 2 is complicated, difficult, and troublesome, and the work occupancy rate is considerable in the overall assembly of the toilet seat box 1.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and is a novel casing for a buttocks dryer (hereinafter referred to as the present invention) which enables extremely easy assembly work and performance inspection in the buttocks dryer. It is intended to provide a casing).

[0006]

The gist of the casing of the present invention is that a casing of a buttocks dryer provided with a hot water washing device and the like has a main body for accommodating a fan device and heating, and an outlet from the main body. And at least the main body is formed so as to be divided into two symmetrical case divisions on both sides of the deployment axis. The point is that they are integrally connected by a flexible hinge member provided at a corresponding portion.

[0007]

If the hinge body that integrally connects the two case divisions to each other is bent, the case divisions form at least the main body for accommodating the fan device and the heater. That is, since the casing of the present invention can be independently assembled independently of the toilet seat box, its performance inspection can be easily performed.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings showing the embodiments thereof. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a buttock dryer 5 including the casing of the present invention. The buttocks dryer 5 is adapted to be housed and installed in the toilet seat box 3 which holds the opening / closing movement on the rear side of the toilet seat 4. The casing of the present invention is made of a resin material as appropriate, and includes a main body portion 6 for accommodating a fan device and a heater, and an air passage 7 for guiding warm air from the main body portion 6 to the air outlet 8. In this embodiment, the main body 6 has a cylindrical shape, and the air passage 7
Is to project in a thin box shape in the radial direction of the main body portion 6, and the air outlet 8 at the tip end thereof is directed toward the central portion of the toilet seat 4 (the buttocks of the user sitting on the toilet seat 4). .

FIG. 2 is a plan view showing a situation in which the casing of the present invention is developed. The casing of the present invention is provided with case division bodies 5a and 5b on both sides of the development axis X as a center. The case division bodies 5a and 5b have the expansion axis X.
The parts are symmetrical with respect to each other, and the parts are divided into two parts.
A trough-shaped bent portion 7a, 7b having a U-shaped cross section, and a tip opening portion 8a, 8b opened at the tip of the bent portion 7a, 7b.
And are continuously integrated so as to form an L shape as a whole. The case bodies 5a and 5b are connected by hinge members 11, 11, 11 at a plurality of locations (three locations in this embodiment) on the deployment axis X. The hinge member 11 is formed in the shape of a thin tongue piece, and flexibility is obtained by using the notch portion provided in the center thereof as a guide. Therefore, in the hinge members 11, 11, 11,
When the case bodies 5a and 5b are folded along the development axis X (notch portion), the body portions 6a and 6b become cylindrical and the main body portion 6 (see FIG. 1) is formed. 7
The a and 7b are in the shape of a thin box to form the air passage 7 (see FIG. 1), and the open end portions 8a and 8b are in the shape of mouth to form the air outlet 8 (see FIG. 1). In addition, the code | symbol 9 shown in FIG. 2 is a fan apparatus, and the code | symbol 10 is a heater. These are sandwiched and held by the step portion 12 and the hub 13 provided on the inner surfaces of the case bodies 5a and 5b.

In the casing of the present invention, the buttock dryer 5 can be assembled by simply folding the two case bodies 5a and 5b as described above, and the performance inspection can be performed very easily.

By the way, only the main body portion 6 (body portions 6a, 6b) for accommodating the fan device 9 and the heater 10 may be made expandable via the expansion axis line X, and the air blow passage 7 and the blowout port. 8 can be integrally formed in a thin box shape or the like from the beginning. In addition, the shapes of the case divisions 5a and 5b (mainly the arrangement relationship of the fan device 9 and the heater 10 housed inside, the arrangement state and shape of the air passage 7 and the air outlet 8) are shown in FIG.
It can be appropriately changed in relation to the toilet seat box 3 and the toilet seat 4 shown in FIG. Of course, the shape, material, number of formed hinge members, etc., of the hinge member 11 are arbitrary. Further, in maintaining the state in which the case bodies 5a and 5b are folded together, an engaging structure using an appropriate claw piece, a fastening structure using about 1 to 2 screws, or an adhesive agent is used. It is also possible to adopt a bonding structure according to. As described above, the detailed configuration and shape of the casing of the present invention are
It can be appropriately changed according to the embodiment.

[0012]

As is apparent from the above description, the buttock dryer casing according to the present invention can be independently assembled as a buttock dryer, completely separate from the toilet seat box and the like. With such a structure, the assembly thereof is simplified, and the performance inspection of the buttock dryer can be performed very easily. Further, since it is simple in structure, it has many excellent advantages such that the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
