Description

  The present invention relates to a handle for a toilet seat.

  In the stool, a toilet seat and a lid are respectively provided on the upper surface of the toilet so as to be freely opened and closed. In this case, when a man does a small task, the toilet seat and the lid are lifted to open the upper surface of the toilet. The same operation is performed for cleaning. By the way, legs are provided on the back of the toilet seat and are floated from the rim (upper surface) of the toilet, but since this interval is not so large, when the hand is inserted into the back of the toilet, If the edges are dirty, you may touch it. Therefore, there is resistance in lifting the toilet seat by hand.

  For this reason, there are many proposals in which a handle is provided on the toilet seat. However, since these handles are of a fixed type that always protrudes, if the rim of the toilet bowl is dirty, the flow of air or the splash of running water may be scattered. For example, the dirt is transferred to the handle. In addition, if such a projection is always protruding, the appearance is bad, and in some cases, it may be a hindrance when adding a business.

On the other hand, Patent Literature 1 below proposes a toilet seat provided with a storage portion capable of storing a handle, and the handle can be freely taken in and out of the storage portion or elastically protruded. However, this prior art is intended for convenience when hanging the cover on the toilet seat, and is retracted when the cover is hung, and pulled out when the cover is hung. And always keeps the projected state after being pulled out or projected. Therefore, adhesion of dirt and the like, obstruction at the time of addition, and poor appearance are not different from those of the fixed type.
Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 4-10796

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is to solve the problem of dirt and poor appearance by making the handle (pin) protrude only when the toilet seat is opened and closed, and immersed in the toilet seat at other times. In addition, the indenting structure is reliable and simple.

  By the way, in recent toilet seats, when entering a toilet room, there is a type in which a lid is automatically opened in connection with a door or lighting, but even in this case, a toilet seat is considered in consideration of the use of women. Does not open (since it must be lowered again). Therefore, it is conceivable that only the toilet seat is automatically opened. However, since the rising speed cannot be so high, there is still a lot of elegance and sometimes it cannot be made in time. It is much faster and easier to raise it by hand. In short, at this time, it is only necessary that the hands do not become dirty or that they are likely to become dirty.

  In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a toilet seat, which can be raised and lowered on the upper surface of a toilet bowl, provided with a pin that can be protruded and retracted laterally. By providing a handle of a toilet seat characterized by being constituted by a knock structure that alternately repeats protrusion and immersion by pushing the front surface, the pin described in claim 2 is immersed in the toilet seat. In this case, the pin and the side surface of the toilet seat are accommodated substantially flush with each other, and the portion where the pin protrudes is gold-plated or silver-plated.

  By taking the above measures, it is sufficient to lift the toilet seat by holding the pin, so that the hands do not become dirty and there is no fear of that. Since the pin is always immersed in the toilet seat when the toilet seat is not opened or closed, there is no dirt or bad appearance, and it does not hinder use. In addition, since the pin can be moved in and out only by pushing the front of the pin, there is no need to pull out or fall down, and the operation can be performed easily, in a short time, and very hygienically.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 4 is a partial cross-sectional side view of the stool, and FIG. 5 is a plan view. The stool, as is well known, has a toilet seat 2 and a lid that can be turned upside down (open / closed) on a toilet 1 having an open top. 3 is provided. Further, a water tank 4 for storing running water is provided behind the toilet 1. The opening and closing of the toilet seat 2 and the lid 3 is such that a shaft 5 is provided over the rear part of the toilet bowl 1 so as to span left and right, and the rear part of the toilet seat 2 and the lid 3 is rotatably fixed to the shaft 5 from below. is there. Spacers 2a are attached to the back surface of the toilet seat 2 in a dotted manner, so that when the toilet seat 2 is lowered onto the toilet 1, a certain gap is secured between the toilet seat 1 and the upper surface thereof. In addition, in recent stool toilets, a washing device is also provided, and the operation unit 6 is installed on the side of the toilet 1.

  In the present invention, a pin 7 serving as a handle is provided on the toilet seat 2 so as to be able to come and go. FIG. 1 is a partial cross-sectional view of the toilet seat 2 showing the structure of the pin 7 protruding and retracting, FIG. 2 is an AA development cross-sectional view of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a partial front view of the toilet seat 2. A hole 8 is formed in a horizontal direction at an appropriate location, a sleeve 9 is buried in the hole 8, and the pin 7 is slidably received in the sleeve 9. When the front surface of the pin 7 is pressed, the pin 7 has a knocking structure in which a protruding state and a immersing state are alternately repeated.

  That is, a guide sleeve 11 having a groove-shaped guide cam 10 formed between the sleeve 9 and the pin 7 is inserted, and a guide pin 12 is protruded from the surface of the pin 7. And the pin 7 is elastically urged forward by a spring 13 and accommodated in the sleeve 9. The guide cam 10 in this case has a substantially U-shape including a long vertical groove 10a and a short vertical groove 10b. When the guide pin 12 is in the long vertical groove 10a, the top of the guide cam 12 is actuated by the spring 13. Stopped at. In this state, the pins 7 protrude from the sleeve 9.

  When the pin 7 is pushed into the sleeve 9 against the spring 13, the pin 7 descends while the guide pin 12 is guided by the long vertical groove 10a. When the pin 7 comes to the bottom, it collides with the pin and stops descending. At the same time, the guide pin 12 moves to the short vertical groove 10b. This transition is necessarily performed by the inertia of the lowering of the pin 7. When the hand is released from the pin 7 in this state, the pin 7 is raised by the action of the spring 13 with the guide pin 12 being guided by the short vertical groove 10b, and stops at the top thereof.

  In this state, the pin 7 is immersed in the sleeve 9. Thus, each time the pin 7 is pressed, the pin 7 alternates between a state in which it protrudes from the sleeve 9 and a state in which it is immersed, and the state does not change unless it is pushed. The combination of the guide cam 10 and the guide pin 12 formed on the guide sleeve 11 may be one, or may be two or more. Further, the guide gum 10 may be V-shaped.

  Further, the knocking structure is not limited to this, but in short, any structure may be used in which the state in which the pin 7 projects and the state in which the pin 7 is immersed is fixedly repeated each time the pin 7 is pressed. FIG. 6 is a partial cross-sectional view showing another example of the knocking structure. The point that the pin 7 is always elastically urged to the protruding side by the spring 13 remains the same. A leaf spring-shaped locking spring 14, which is elastically urged downward and has an upper protrusion 14a at the rear, is attached, and a leaf spring-shaped guide spring 15 urged upward below the locking spring 14. Is provided.

  Then, when the pin 7 is pushed in, the locking spring 14 goes up the slope of the guide spring 15 and is pushed upward by the guide spring 15 so that the upper projection 14 a enters the spring 13. If the user releases his hand in this state, the lower urging force of the locking spring 14 is weakened by the elastic force of the spring 13, and the upper projection 14a suppresses the extension of the spring 13 and moves forward from the position where the upper projection 14a enters. Only the part is extended, and the pin 7 keeps the immersed state. On the other hand, when the pin 7 in this state is further pushed in, the force of the spring 13 is weakened, and the lower urging force of the locking spring 14 overcomes the upper urging force of the guide spring 15, and the upper projection 14 a comes out of the spring 13. Then, the pin 7 is pushed by the spring 13 to be in a protruding state. By repeating such an operation, protrusion and immersion are alternately repeated.

  Next, how to use the above-mentioned handle will be described. If a man wants to add a toilet, the toilet seat 2 (if the lid 3 is automatically opened, only the toilet seat 2 and if the lid 3 is manually raised, When lifting the toilet seat 2 and the lid 3), if the pin 7 is pushed in by hand and released, the pin 7 projects from the side surface of the toilet seat 2. Therefore, it is only necessary to hold it by hand and lift it up, so that it can be raised quickly, and since the hand does not touch the toilet seat 2 or the upper surface of the rim of the toilet body 1, it can be dirty with dirt. do not do. On the other hand, after the toilet seat 2 is lifted, if the pin 7 is pushed again (or may be pushed into the toilet) to be immersed in the toilet seat 2, the pin 7 does not become an obstacle, and the poor appearance is solved. In this sense, it is preferable to provide the pin 7 at a position slightly to the right from the front of the toilet seat 2 in order to operate with the right hand. Further, the pin 7 is lifted lightly as it is farther away from the shaft 5.

  In most recent stools, when most of the toilet stool is lightly pressed down on the upper surface of the lid 3, the lid 3 and the toilet seat 2 come together and drop down on the toilet 1 in a cushioning manner. Therefore, it is not necessary to use the pin 7 for lowering the toilet seat 2 after adding. In this regard, the pin 7 may be used only for lifting the toilet seat 2, and it is suitable that the pin 7 be immediately immersed after lifting. However, when the cushion is not provided, the pin 7 may be used when the cushion is lowered.

  By the way, regarding the positional relationship between the pin 7 and the sleeve 9 that fulfills the above function, when the pin 7 is immersed in the sleeve 9, the top surface (front surface) and the front surface of the sleeve 9 are almost flush. Alternatively, it is preferable in appearance that the pin 7 is slightly projected, and there is also a sense of cleanliness. This relationship is the same for the side surfaces of the sleeve 9 and the toilet seat 2, and the front surface of the sleeve 9 is substantially flush with the side surface of the toilet seat 2. At this time, a flange 9a is formed on the front surface of the sleeve 9 to secure a certain area. Gold plating or silver plating is preferably applied to the front surface of the sleeve 9 and the top surface of the pin 7 or the protruding portion at the time of immersion because it looks luxurious, is preferable in design, and is easy to find.
