Description

  The present invention relates to a flush toilet installed in a toilet.

  Toilets are daily necessities and are usually provided in parks, various buildings, general households, and the like.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the conventional flush toilet has a gap b between the toilet seat 2 'and the flush toilet main body 1' because a stopper a made of an elastic body protrudes below the toilet seat 2 '. . Further, since a similar stopper a is protruded inside the lid 3 ', when the lid 3' is closed, a gap b exists between the lid 3 'and the toilet seat 2'.

  As is well known, water is flushed after using the toilet, but the flush toilet uses the head of the water and the volume of water when the water flows due to the suction action when the waste is drawn into the drainage channel is relatively low. It becomes loud and noise, and this noise leaks to the outside through the gap, so that people near the toilet can hear it.

  This draining noise is not particularly annoying when only one person is present, but it is annoying when a visitor or a person is around the toilet, and it is preferable that the draining noise is not heard as much as possible.

  As shown in FIG. 3, there is a toilet that reduces noise by using a siphon phenomenon of water, and has a structure in which the drainage channel c is twisted or thinned to increase resistance. Note that e in FIG. 3 is a tank containing water d.

  With this structure, the noise at the time of drainage is somewhat improved, but the structure is complicated, so that the cost is high and a large amount of washing water is required, which is not economical.

  The present invention has been proposed in view of the above, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a flush toilet having a sufficient sound insulation function despite its simple structure.

The invention of claim 1 is characterized in that the sound absorbing body 5 is provided between the flush toilet body 1 and the toilet seat 2 and between the toilet seat 2 and the lid 3.
According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect, the sound absorber 5 is made of cork, sponge, rubber, porous rubber, or foam.

  According to the present invention, since the sound absorbing body 5 is provided between the lid 3 and the toilet seat 2 and between the toilet seat 2 and the flush toilet main body 1, the flush toilet 4 is closed by closing the lid 3 after use and allowing water to flow. Since the inside is shielded by the sound absorbing body 5, the sound of flowing water can be prevented from leaking to the surroundings, and the noise can be reduced as much as possible.

  In addition, the present invention can be easily applied to existing flush toilets, can reduce costs, and can effectively use existing facilities.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[Embodiment 1]
FIG. 1 shows a side view of the flush toilet of the present invention.

  In these figures, 1 is a flush toilet body which is installed on a floor in a toilet in a well-known manner, 2 is a toilet seat whose base end side is rotatably supported as is well-known, and 3 is disposed above it. Similarly, the base end side is a lid rotatably supported, and these constitute the flush toilet 4. The configuration of such a flush toilet 4 is known.

  In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, a sound absorber 5 is provided in a substantially U-shape below the toilet seat 2, and when the toilet seat 2 is placed on the main body 1, the sound absorber 5 separates the toilet seat 2 from the main body 1. No gaps are created between them.

  In addition, the sound absorber 5 is provided on almost the entire surface inside the cover 3, and when the cover 3 is closed, the sound absorber 5 does not cause a gap between the cover 3 and the toilet seat 2. ing. The sound absorber 5 may be attached by a fixing means such as an adhesive or a screw.

  As the sound absorbing member 5, for example, it is preferable to use cork, sponge, general rubber, porous rubber mainly containing ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), foam, or the like, whose surface is waterproofed. Since the porous rubber or the foam has a fine air layer inside, a good sound absorbing effect can be obtained.

  In use, the noise can be prevented or reduced only by closing the lid 3 when the water is flushed after adding water in the flush toilet 4. The source of the noise is the sound of water flowing in the flush toilet 4. By closing the cover 3, the noise can be contained inside by the sound absorber 5. Further, noise can be absorbed by the sound absorbing function of the sound absorbing body 5.

  The present invention can be easily applied to flush toilets that are generally used in the past, and can effectively utilize existing facilities. In addition, it goes without saying that the flush toilet provided with the sound absorbing body 5 may be commercialized and marketed.

  Further, the present invention can be applied to a type using a siphon phenomenon and other various types of flush toilets.

FIG. 4 is a side view of the use state of the embodiment of the present invention. The side view of the conventional flush toilet. FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing the internal structure of another conventional example.
