The LEDs 22a, 24a, and 2 are provided adjacent to the switches 22, 24, and 26 to indicate their operation states.
6a is provided.

A recess 32 is provided on the rear upper surface of the toilet seat box 12.
The cover 4 is provided so as to cover the recess 32.
4 are provided. A heating toilet seat switch 34, a water temperature adjustment switch 36, and a hot air temperature adjustment switch 38 are provided on the back surface of the cover 50 . In addition, LEDs 34a, 36 for displaying the temperature states of the heating toilet seat, the water temperature, and the hot air temperature are provided near the switches 34, 36, 38.
a, 38a are provided .

The cover 44 of this, the subsequent side portions are pivotally supported by a hinge 46 to the extending portion 20, a solid line of FIG. 2
A horizontal position THAT shown, has a rotatable so that it can take an open position indicated by the second view of the two-dot chain line 44 '. In the open position of the cover 44, the cover 44 is
It is opened to the rear of the outgoing section 20, and in the opened state,
The back surface of the cover 44 is inclined downward toward the front of the overhang portion 20.
