[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

The present invention relates to a lid for a Western-style toilet bowl.
More particularly, the present invention relates to a lid structure that facilitates opening and closing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a Western-style toilet has a toilet body, an inner lid, and an outer lid. On the toilet body, an inner lid for toilet is provided, on which an odor scattering prevention and an exterior are provided. An outer lid is provided for trimming. However, since the outer lid has no handle at all, it is very difficult to open and close, especially for an elderly man whose body is hard, it is not possible to open the lid unless it is in the middle when opening it, resulting in back pain etc. It had the serious problem of becoming susceptible to becoming. In addition, since the user has to hold a part of the lid when grasping the lid, there is a problem in hygiene and a lack of cleanliness.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made based on the above-mentioned circumstances, and a handle which can change the inclination angle appropriately and is convenient for opening and closing is provided on the outer lid of the toilet, and when the handle falls, the handle is provided. Is designed with safety in mind so that it does not become an obstacle.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems In the Western-style toilet bowl of the present invention, a circular bearing hole is formed in a base portion of a part of the outer lid in a Western-style toilet in which an inner lid and an outer lid are covered on a toilet body. A rotating shaft having a modified cross section is inserted into the bearing hole, and a handle provided with a bush made of an elastic material is mounted on the surface of the rotating shaft.

[0005]

[Function] At the time of use, when the handle is lifted, the outer lid can be opened and closed in the same posture without falling back,
It can be easily opened and closed even for elderly people whose body is hard, eliminating the dangers of back pain and the like. At that time, the handle should be stood up at that position and not to be turned down by the bearing hole drilled in the base, the rotating shaft of irregular cross-section, and the bush made of elastic material. Can be done. At the same time, even if the user strays, the device easily rotates with a force exceeding a certain level, so that it does not become an obstacle and works to ensure safety.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
The object of the present invention is a Western-style toilet with an inner lid and an outer lid on the toilet body, and the type is a general Western-style toilet,
Includes those with hot water showers. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a handle 4 is attached to a part of the outer lid 3 of the Western-style toilet 1, and the attachment position thereof is desirably set by an elderly person of about 50 to 100 mm from the front end. It should be in a position that is cool and easy to hold.

The handle 4 is attached to the toilet bowl 1 by integrally forming the base 5 with the outer lid 3 or by disposing a suction cup or the like as a separate body.
The outer cover 3 may be vacuum-sucked, or a male screw may be protruded to form a female screw in the outer cover 3 so that both are screwed. Then, a circular bearing hole 5a into which a rotating shaft 4a at the tip of the handle described later is inserted is formed in a part of the base 5.

On the other hand, the handle 4 is formed in a loop shape or a shape that is easy to grasp, such as a T-shaped tip, and the tip is mounted in the bearing hole 5a. It functions as the rotating shaft 4a, and has an elliptical or triangular cross section, and the peripheral edge thereof is in sliding contact with the inner wall of the bearing hole 5a.

[0009] The rotary shaft 4 which forms a deformed section of the handle 4
A bush 6 made of a stretchable material such as rubber or soft plastic is interposed at the periphery of a, and a bearing hole 5 of the base 5 is provided.
a between the rotation shaft 4a and the rotation shaft 4a,
The sliding contact of a with the bearing hole 5a is further strengthened. That is, the rotation shaft 4a can be rotated along the inner wall of the bearing hole 5a in accordance with the rotation of the handle 4. However, once the handle 4 is released, the deformed convex portion of the rotation shaft 4a is The bush 6 which is in contact with the inner wall and is interposed between the two is made of rubber or soft plastic, exerts a little elasticity, and is brought into a pressure contact state so that the handle 4 stands upright.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a tank for storing water, which is generally provided behind the toilet.

Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described. First, when the handle 4 of the lid is originally attached as a component, for example, with a suction cup, the plate of the suction cup is placed about 50 to 10 in front of the outer lid of the toilet bowl.
Adsorb at a position of about 0 mm. In the case of a screw, it is screwed in the same position, and in the case of integral formation, it is determined at a predetermined position at the time of manufacture.

When the outer lid 3 is opened at the time of use,
When the handle 4 is gripped and lifted upward, the outer lid 3 rotates about the axis of the attachment portion of the outer lid 3, but the gripping person is standing in front of the handle, and the grip is held by the handle 4. Is tilted forward (see FIG. 6), and the rotation is made about the rotation shaft 4a, and finally, the outer lid 3 and the handle 4 are nearly parallel.

After opening the outer lid 3 and releasing the hand,
The rotating shaft 4a having a modified cross section is inscribed inside the bearing hole 5a by the rotational pressure of the handle 4 accompanying opening and closing of the outer lid, and a circular bush 6 is formed on the surface of the rotating shaft 4a with a material that is rich in elasticity. Therefore, when the rotating shaft 4a of the handle 4 rotates with the rotation with respect to the bearing hole 5a forming the sheath tube, the bush 6 corresponding to the concave portion having the irregular cross section extends and is pressed against the convex portion. As a result, the handle 4 is fixed at that position, stands up, and does not fall down.
Therefore, the handle 3 can be always erected at a position that is easy to hold, and there is no possibility that the handle 3 will hit the rear tank 7.
Then, when closing the outer lid 3 so as to return to the original state after use, the user similarly grips the handle 4 and rotates the outer lid 3 so as to fall forward. As a result, the posture in which the elderly person leans on the middle waist has conventionally hurt the lower back. However, since it can be opened and closed outside in an almost upright posture, the lower back can be safely protected.
In addition, since the outer lid 3 does not directly touch the hand, it is extremely sanitary.

[0014] On the other hand, when the elderly person stumbles or falls down in the toilet, if the handle 4 is fixed to the outer lid 3 in an upright state, it may be dangerous to touch the body. In this case, when the body touches the handle 4 and a force exceeding a certain level is applied, the pressing force of the rotating shaft 4a and the bush 6 having the irregular cross-section is a small value enough to keep the handle 4 upright. And
This avoids the danger of becoming an obstacle.

[0015]

According to the present invention based on the above configuration, the handle is disposed on the outer lid of the toilet, so that opening and closing is extremely easy, and the risk of back pain of an elderly man whose body is hard can be eliminated. At that time, the handle can be maintained in an easy-to-hold posture without being strongly fixed or turned down, which is convenient for use. At the same time, since it easily rotates with a certain force or more, it does not become an obstacle even when the user strays, and is a highly practical device in consideration of safety.
