BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mounting structure for mounting a toilet seat on a toilet body.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a toilet seat that can be opened and closed on the upper surface of a toilet body is difficult to remove from the toilet body, and has a structure that is difficult to remove and clean the toilet seat. Was desired.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a mounting structure of a toilet seat capable of easily removing and cleaning a toilet seat. A first gist is that a toilet seat supporting member fixed to an upper surface of a toilet body is provided with a bearing groove for rotatably fitting a shaft protruding from the toilet seat, and an opening / closing lid for opening and closing the bearing groove. An elastic locking piece that can be unlocked by locking and pressing the open / close lid in a closed state is provided, and the open / close lid is held in a state where the shaft of the toilet seat is fitted in the bearing groove. Closing and attaching the toilet seat to the toilet body.
A second subject matter is that the opening / closing lid is connected to the bearing groove via a thin hinge.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an essential part showing a state before the toilet seat is attached to a toilet seat support member fixedly provided on the toilet body side;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged configuration diagram of the toilet seat support member of FIG.
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a state where a shaft of a toilet seat is attached to a toilet seat support member. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional enlarged configuration diagram of the toilet seat support member.

[0005] In the figure, a pair of shafts 8a, 8a are protrudingly provided on the rear surface of the toilet seat 8 so as to face each other.
Can be fitted into respective toilet seat support members 2 and 2 fixed to the upper surface of the toilet body 1, the toilet seat support member 2 is formed of resin, and as shown in FIG. The bolt portion 3 is integrally formed in a hanging shape, and the bolt portion 3 is inserted from above into a mounting hole 1a formed in the toilet body 1 in a vertically penetrating shape. A quick nut 6 is screwed into the lower end of the bolt portion 3 in a state where the hemispherical packing 4 is fitted from below and the slip washer 5 is fitted, and the quick nut 6 is tightened, so that the toilet seat supporting member 2 1 is fixed on the upper surface.

An upright portion 2b is integrally formed in the front of the upper surface portion 2a of the toilet seat support member 2 in a rising shape.
b, a horizontal piece 2c is formed to protrude horizontally rearward,
A hemispherically recessed bearing groove M is formed on the upper surface side of the horizontal piece 2c. An opening / closing lid is provided at the upper end of the rising portion 2b above the bearing groove M via a thin thin hinge 2d. 2e is openably and closably connected, and the open / close lid 2e is a thin hinge 2
By opening and closing the opening / closing lid 2e downward while the shaft 8a of the toilet seat 8 is fitted in the bearing groove M, the opening / closing lid 2e can be opened / closed behind the bearing groove M via d. The shaft 8a is rotatably held between the bearing groove M and the opening / closing lid 2e.

In addition, slits S, S are formed in the upper surface portion 2a, and a vertically movable elastic locking piece 2f is integrally formed between the slits S, S.
When the opening / closing lid 2e is closed, the lower end of the opening / closing lid 2e comes into contact with the upper surface of the elastic locking piece 2f, and when the elastic locking piece 2f is further rotated in the closing direction, finally, the opening / closing lid 2e is closed.
e, the lower end of which contacts the front surface of the elastic locking piece 2f and is locked,
The opening / closing lid 2e is configured to be able to maintain the closed state in this state. At this time, the opening / closing lid 2e comes into contact with the rear end surface of the horizontal piece 2c. In this manner, the shaft 8a is fitted into the bearing groove M, the opening / closing lid 2e is closed and locked by the elastic locking piece 2f, and the toilet seat 8 is extremely easily attached to the toilet body 1.
It can be attached to the
FIG.

If the user wants to remove the toilet seat 8 from the toilet body 1 and clean it, pressing the upper surface of the elastic locking piece 2f downward with his finger moves the elastic locking piece 2f downward. The downward movement releases the engagement with the opening / closing lid 2e, the opening / closing lid 2e is in a free state, and the opening / closing lid 2e is flipped up and opened by the restoring force of the thin hinge 2d. By removing the shaft 8a from the bearing groove M with the opening / closing lid 2e opened, the toilet seat 8 can be easily detached from the toilet body 1. As described above, even when the toilet seat 8 is removed, the elastic locking piece 2f can be removed with one touch by pressing with a finger, the toilet seat can be easily removed and cleaned, and the toilet can be kept clean. Becomes

[0009]

According to the toilet seat mounting structure of the present invention, the toilet seat support member fixed to the upper surface of the toilet body has a bearing groove for rotatably fitting a shaft protruding from the toilet seat, and the bearing groove. A lid on the toilet seat side is provided in the bearing groove because an opening / closing lid that covers the opening / closing lid and an elastic locking piece that can be unlocked by locking and pressing the opening / closing lid in a closed state are provided. The toilet seat can be easily attached to the toilet by closing the opening / closing lid by fitting it in.When you want to remove the toilet seat,
The closed state of the opening / closing lid is released by pressing the elastic locking piece with a finger, the toilet seat can be easily removed from the toilet body, the toilet seat can be removed and cleaned well, and the toilet bowl is kept in a clean state Has an effect that can be maintained. Further, since the opening / closing lid is connected to the bearing groove via a thin hinge, the bearing groove and the opening / closing lid can be connected by the thin hinge to reduce the cost and be formed of resin or the like. Further, the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing lid with respect to the bearing groove via the hinge becomes easy.
