[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a means for placing sanitary paper on the upper surface of the toilet seat of a Western-style toilet.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 For example, Western-style toilets in hotels, department stores, hospitals, public toilets, etc. are used by an unspecified large number of people, so when sitting on the toilet seat of such Western-style toilets, it is uncomfortable and unsanitary. For this reason, when sitting down, it is practiced to put a sanitary paper, which is a dedicated or toilet paper piece, on the toilet seat and sit on the sanitary paper.

However, the upper surface of the toilet seat is smooth, and the sanitary paper is likely to slide off the toilet seat when it is simply placed. Therefore, it has been conventionally known to form a hole in the upper surface of the toilet seat and to hold a state in which the sanitary paper is placed on the toilet seat by inserting a part of the sanitary paper into the hole when using it. .

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, unlike conventional toilet seats whose entire upper surface is formed into a smooth surface, the conventional ones above sit on the upper surface of the toilet seat with exposed holes, which makes the product inferior in usability and after use. There was a problem that traces of holes remained in the buttocks. Moreover, since the buttocks directly contact the holes during use, the buttocks may be painful. Furthermore, since the hole penetrates from the upper surface to the bottom surface of the toilet seat, the upper surface of the toilet bowl is exposed through the hole, which is unaesthetic and unsanitary.

An object of the present invention is to provide a toilet seat on which a sanitary paper can be stably placed without dropping, and which is excellent in usability and cleanliness.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention provides a toilet seat having at least one holding means for holding the sanitary paper placed on the upper surface of the toilet seat. It is characterized in that it is placed and the upper surface of the toilet seat is formed into a smooth surface.

[0007]

[Action]

Hold by. The holding means for holding the sanitary paper can be constituted by, for example, a hole penetrating from the outer surface of the toilet seat to the bottom surface or the inner surface, or alternatively, a recess extending between the outer surface and the bottom surface of the toilet seat is formed, The recess formed by the recess and the upper surface of the toilet body when the toilet seat is placed on the toilet body may be used as the holding means. Furthermore, the holding means can be configured by disposing a protrusion on the outer surface of the toilet seat. By inserting a part of the sanitary paper bent downward into such a hole or recess with your finger, or by piercing and fixing a part of the sanitary paper bent downward into such a protrusion, the sanitary paper is fixed to the upper surface of the toilet seat. It will be possible to reliably keep the sanitary paper placed.

As described above, in the toilet seat of the present invention, the holding means is arranged on the left and right outer surfaces of the toilet seat, and the upper surface of the toilet seat is formed as a smooth surface, so that the hole is not exposed on the upper surface of the toilet seat, and the toilet seat is used. There is no need to worry about leaving marks of holes in the buttocks later. In addition, it is not inferior in usability compared to a normal toilet seat without a hole, and there is no problem that the upper surface of the toilet bowl can be seen through the hole.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view of a western-style toilet 2 having a toilet seat 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a right side view of the toilet 2, and FIG.

In this embodiment, the toilet seat 1 has a donut shape, but the present invention can be similarly applied to other shapes such as a horseshoe-shaped toilet seat. The toilet seat 1 is swingably attached by a shaft 5 provided laterally between brackets 4 on the left and right of the upper surface of the toilet body 3. Similarly, the lid 6 is also attached to the toilet body 3 by the shaft 5 so as to be openable and closable.

On the right and left outer side surfaces of the toilet seat 1, there are provided holes 7 as holding means for holding the sanitary paper 10 described below placed on the upper surface of the toilet seat 1. The cross-sectional shape of the hole 7 is circular in the illustrated example, but other cross-sectional shapes such as a polygon such as a rectangle or a star may be used. The holes 7 should preferably be arranged in symmetrical positions on the left and right sides. As shown in FIG. 3, the hole 7 is provided so as to penetrate obliquely downward from the outer surface 1a of the toilet seat 1 toward the bottom surface 1b in the cross section of FIG. 1A-A. Therefore, the upper surface 1c of the toilet seat 1 is formed as a smooth surface. The hole 7 may be provided by penetrating laterally from the outer surface 1a of the toilet seat 1 toward the inner surface 1d. In any case, it is important to make the upper surface 1c of the toilet seat 1 a smooth surface. As will be described later, the inner diameter of the hole 7 is preferably formed so that the finger can be inserted therein, specifically, about 1 to 3 cm so that the sanitary paper 10 can be inserted into the hole 7 with a finger.

4 and 5 are plan views showing specific examples of the sanitary paper 10. First, the sanitary paper 10 shown in FIG. 4 is a V-shaped sheet material 11 such as a toilet paper cut into an appropriate length, which is folded back obliquely at the center so that it can be placed while covering the valve seat 1. It was formed in. FIG. 5 shows another example of the sanitary paper 10, in which the center of the paper material 11 is folded back at two locations to form a substantially V-shape. In addition, the sanitary paper 10 is not limited to the strip-shaped paper material 11 such as toilet paper, and may be a dedicated sanitary paper having a shape corresponding to the donut-shaped or horseshoe-shaped toilet seat 1. However, in any case, in order to dispose of the sanitary paper 10 in the toilet body 3, it is desirable that the sanitary paper 10 be water-soluble paper.

Now, when mounting the V-shaped sanitary paper 10 described in FIG. 4 to the toilet seat 1 of this embodiment, first, as shown in FIG. 6, the sanitary cover 1 covers almost the entire upper surface of the toilet seat 1. Place the paper 10. At this time, it is preferable to place the sanitary paper 10 so that the parts 10a and 10a of the sanitary paper 10 respectively protrude from the upper surface of the toilet seat 1 to the left and right outside. The parts 10a and 10a of the sanitary paper 10 thus protruding are bent downward so as to be along the outer surface 1a of the toilet seat 1. Then, the portions 10a of the sanitary paper 10 are inserted into the holes 7 opened on the left and right outer side surfaces 1a of the toilet seat 1 by fingers or the like and locked. Thus, the sanitary paper 10 is locked in the hole 7 to prevent the sanitary paper 10 from slipping off, and the sanitary paper 10 placed on the toilet seat 1 can be reliably maintained. Further, in the toilet seat 1 of this embodiment, the holes 7 are provided on the left and right outer surfaces 1a, and the upper surface 1c of the toilet seat 1 is formed into a smooth surface. Therefore, after using the toilet bowl 2, the holes 7 leave marks on the buttocks. There is no worry, and the feeling of use is not inferior even when compared to a toilet seat that does not have a normal holding means.

After use, the sanitary paper 10 is discarded together with drainage in the toilet body 3. At that time, the holding state can be easily released simply by pulling out a part 10a of the sanitary paper 10 from the hole 7, and the sanitary paper 10 can be easily discarded in the toilet body 3. Even if the sanitary paper 10 is accidentally broken when the part 10a of the sanitary paper 10 is pulled out from the hole 7 in this way, and a piece of the sanitary paper 10 remains in the hole 7, no problem occurs. That is, in this embodiment, since the hole 7 penetrates from the outer side surface 1a of the toilet seat 1 to the bottom surface 1b, when a part 10a of the new sanitary paper 10 is inserted into the hole 7 in the next use. , The remaining pieces of paper are gradually pushed into the inside of the hole 7. Therefore, there is no fear that a piece of paper will be jammed in the middle of the hole 7, and the part 10a of the next sanitary paper 10 can always be smoothly inserted. By sequentially mounting new sanitary paper 10 in this way, the paper pieces remaining in the hole 7 are gradually pushed into the inner part of the hole 7 and eventually pushed out from the bottom surface 1b of the toilet seat 1 to the outside of the hole 7 to form the toilet bowl. It falls into the main body 3 and is discarded together with the drainage.

Further, in the above embodiments, the example in which the holes 7 as the holding means are provided on the left and right outer side surfaces of the toilet seat 1 respectively has been described, but the number of the holes 7 to be installed is plural. Is free. FIG. 8 shows an embodiment in which two holes 7, 7 are provided on the left and right outer surfaces of the toilet seat 1, respectively. The specific configuration of these holes 7, 7 is the same as that of the embodiment described above with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, and all are provided so as to penetrate from the outer side surface 1a of the toilet seat 1 to the inner side surface 1d. . When a plurality of holes 7, 7 are thus provided on the left and right outer surfaces of the toilet seat 1, two sheets of sanitary paper 10, 10 made of strip-shaped paper material such as toilet paper are shown in the toilet seat. 1 and the parts 10b and 10b protruding from the toilet seat 1 to the left and right outside are bent downward, and the parts 10b and 10b of the sanitary paper 10 are inserted into the holes 7 and 7 with fingers or the like, respectively, and a plurality of them are formed. Can be locked in place. In this way, by providing a plurality of holes, the mounting stability of the sanitary paper 10 can be further improved, and the band-shaped (non-V-shaped) sanitary paper 10 as shown can be used without being bent. It is also possible to do. It should be noted that if the toilet seat 10 is provided with a large number of holes, the length of the sanitary paper 10 can be appropriately selected according to the individual difference in the occupied area required for sitting such as children and adults, which is economical. is there.
