[Industrial applications]

 TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a handle for a toilet seat of a Western-style toilet, which allows the toilet seat to be rotated without directly touching it.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As westernization has progressed in all aspects of everyday life, Japanese style toilets that have been used for a long time are being replaced by Western style toilets. However, most of the Japanese who are addicted to it feel reluctant to touch the skin directly on the toilet seat, and the feeling of a cold and hard toilet seat is also unfavorable. For this reason, it has been practiced to cover the toilet seat cover made of pile fabric or the like, or to incorporate a heater into the toilet seat.

When a man uses the western-style toilet bowl to add a small amount of urine, the toilet seat is generally flipped upward each time it is used, in order to keep the toilet seat clean. In that case, you have to reach for the toilet seat. However, as mentioned above, there are many Japanese who have an obsessive habit of feeling hesitant to touch the toilet seat directly, even with a toilet used only by their families. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a handle for a toilet seat so that the toilet seat can be raised and lowered without directly touching the toilet seat.

And a fixing means for fixing the fixing portion 1 to the toilet seat 51.

As shown in FIG. 2, the fixing portion 1 has a substantially strip-like shape as a whole, and its length is substantially equal to the lateral width of the side portion of the toilet seat 51. On the base end side (the left end side in the figure) of the fixed portion 1, one sandwiching claw 1a for sandwiching the toilet seat 51 is provided. Further, engaging protrusions 1b, 1b are formed on the left and right side surfaces on the tip end side.

As shown in FIG. 2, the handle portion 2 of this embodiment is formed in the shape of a thick plate that is a charming animal. At the boundary between the part corresponding to the animal's leg on the base end side (left side in the figure) of the handle part 2 and the part corresponding to the torso, the other sandwiching claw 2a for sandwiching the toilet seat 51 is formed. (See Figure 3). Further, on the base end side, a pair of engaging recessed ridges 2b, 2b into which the front end side of the fixed portion 1 is slidably fitted are provided in an opposed manner. The pair of sandwiching claws 1 a and 2 a constitutes a fixing means of the fixing portion 1.

Further, a screw hole 4 into which the set screw 3 is screwed is provided on one side surface on the base end side of the handle portion 2 so as to reach the engaging recess 2b. The set screw 3 is for fixing the state where the toilet seat 51 is sandwiched between the pair of sandwiching claws 1a and 2a. Although not shown, a stopper portion is provided to prevent the engaging protrusion 1b of the fixed portion 1 from completely coming out of the engaging recess 2b of the handle portion 2 (see 2c in FIG. 6).

FIG. 3 shows a state in which the toilet seat handle A1 is attached to the toilet seat 51. The facing distance between the sandwiching claw 1a on the side of the fixed portion 1 and the sandwiching claw 2a on the side of the handle portion 2 is variable, as can be understood from the arrow shown in FIG. To install the handle A1 for the toilet seat, first, loosen the setscrew 3 to sufficiently open the facing interval between the two sandwiching claws 1a and 2a, and set the grip portion 2 to the outer side of the toilet seat 51 to fix the toilet seat 1 to the toilet seat. It is applied to the back side of the side part of 51, and the toilet seat 51 is sandwiched by narrowing the interval between both the sandwiching claws 1a and 2a. Then, this state may be fixed by the set screw 3.
