It is for providing.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, a toilet lid opening / closing tool for a Western-style toilet according to the present invention has an attachment portion attached to the toilet lid, and the toilet lid is closed, and extends upward from the attachment portion. The upper end portion is provided with a gripping portion positioned at the height of a general adult's waist.

  Furthermore, the attachment portion may be configured by a suction cup that is attracted to the upper flat portion of the toilet lid.

  Moreover, the lower end part of the said holding part may be rotatably attached with respect to the said attaching part.

  Moreover, you may make it provide the seal | sticker which covers the upper side of the said attachment part in the state in which the said attachment part was attached to the said toilet lid.

  According to the present invention, the attachment part attached to the toilet lid, and the toilet lid is closed, and extends upward from the attachment part, and the upper end portion is positioned at the height of the waist of a general adult. Therefore, when the user opens the toilet lid, the user can open the toilet lid simply by grasping and lifting the gripping portion at the waist level. Therefore, the user can open and close the toilet lid by extending his hand in an upright natural state, does not need to be in a forward leaning posture with the waist bent, and can be opened without placing a burden on the waist.

  Hereinafter, a toilet lid opening / closing tool for a Western-style toilet according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. In addition, the top and bottom, right and left (width), and the depth direction used in the following description refer to directions when FIG. 1 is viewed from the front side.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a generally used Western-style toilet 1 is composed of a toilet 2 and a low tank 3 that is located on the back side of the toilet 2 and stores wash water. Further, on the upper side of the toilet 2, a toilet seat 4 for a user to sit on and a toilet lid 5 are provided so as to cover the upper side of the toilet seat 4. The toilet seat 4 and the toilet lid 5 are configured to open and close in a manner in which the toilet seat 4 and the toilet lid 5 are lifted from the near side to the far side with a rotation shaft 6 positioned at the back side as a center.

  The height of the toilet 2 is such that a general adult can sit down and use it like a chair. Therefore, the toilet seat 4 and the toilet lid 5 are in the height position of the upper part of this toilet bowl 2 in the closed state. When a user uses this western style toilet 1, the toilet seat 4 and the toilet lid 5 are lifted to the back side around the rotation shaft 6 and used.

  The toilet lid 5 is provided with a toilet lid opening / closing tool 10 as shown in FIG. The toilet lid opening / closing tool 10 includes an attachment portion 11 attached to the edge portion 5a of the toilet lid 5, and a grip portion 12 extending from the attachment portion 11 in a rod shape.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the attachment portion 11 is configured by a suction cup, and is attached to the upper flat portion 5 b of the toilet lid 5 by applying a pressing force F from the upper side. Further, standing walls 11 a and 11 a are respectively formed on the upper side of the attachment portion 11 on the left and right. The upright walls 11a and 11a support both ends of the round bar-shaped shaft 13, respectively.

  The grip part 12 is configured by a round bar or a square bar. As shown in FIG. 1, the upper end of the grip portion 12 is formed in a spherical shape without corners. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the above-described shaft 13 is inserted into the lower end portion of the grip portion 12, and the grip portion 12 can be rotated with respect to the attachment portion 11 around the shaft 13.

  The grip portion 12 is formed of an elastic resin material or rubber material. Thereby, when a user's body hits the holding part 12 by any chance, it deform | transforms or destroys itself.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the length of the grip portion 12 is formed such that a general adult can hold the grip portion 12 without bending his / her waist while standing upright with the toilet lid closed. That is, the upper end portion of the grip portion 12 may be positioned at the height of the general adult's waist.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, in a state where the grip portion 12 is attached to the attachment portion 11, the side surface of the grip portion 12 is in contact with the inner surfaces of the standing walls 11 a and 11 a. The gripping part 12 stops at the rotated position by constantly receiving the frictional force with the upright wall 11a. This frictional force is set such that the user can easily rotate the grip 12 by lifting the grip 12 upward.

  Thus, since the toilet lid opening / closing tool 10 can be easily attached to the toilet lid 5, it can be attached without modifying or newly installing an existing western style toilet. Therefore, there is a great merit in terms of cost compared to a Western-style toilet that automatically opens and closes the toilet lid.

Next, the operation of the toilet lid opening / closing tool 10 according to the present invention will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, the toilet lid opening / closing tool 10 is fixed to the upper flat portion 5 b of the edge portion 5 a of the toilet lid 5 with the toilet lid 5 closed. In this state, the grip portion 12 is attached in a manner extending upward from the upper plane portion 5b.

  The toilet lid opening / closing tool 10 may be always installed on the toilet lid 5 or may be fixed by pressing a suction cup when the user uses the toilet lid opening / closing tool 10 each time. I do not care. Alternatively, the toilet lid opening / closing tool 10 can be carried and attached to another Western-style toilet 1 to be used.

  When the user uses the western style toilet 1, the user grasps the grip portion 12 and pulls it upward in such a manner as to push it into the low tank 33 on the back side. Thereby, the toilet lid 5 is lifted upward, and the user can open the toilet lid 5 without bending his / her waist. Further, since the user does not have to hold the toilet lid 5 directly by hand and lift it, the user can open the toilet lid 5 without feeling unsanitary.

  Further, when the toilet lid 5 is opened, the gripper 12 may be left as it is when it does not hit the low tank 3 positioned on the back side. Is rotated to the near side (in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 1). Thereby, the toilet lid 5 can be made into the state opened completely, without the holding part 12 becoming obstructive.

  According to the toilet lid opening / closing tool 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the attachment portion 11 attached to the toilet lid 5 and the upper end portion that extends upward from the attachment portion 11 with the toilet lid 5 closed. Is provided with a gripping portion 12 positioned at the level of the waist of a general adult, so that when the user opens the toilet lid 5, the toilet lid 5 can be simply grasped and lifted by the gripping portion 12 at the waist height. Can be opened. Therefore, the user can open and close the toilet lid 5 by extending his hand in a standing natural state, and does not have to be in a forward leaning posture with the waist bent, and opens the toilet lid without placing a burden on the waist. be able to.

  Moreover, since it is only necessary to attach the attaching part 11 to the toilet lid 5, it can be easily installed in the existing western style toilet 1. Further, it can be installed at low cost without cost compared to a Western-style toilet in which the toilet lid is opened electrically.

  In addition, since the lower end portion of the grip portion 12 is rotatably attached to the attachment portion, the grip portion 12 does not hit the low tank 3 or the like when the toilet lid 5 is opened, and does not open.

  Furthermore, since the attachment part 11 is comprised with the suction cup attracted | sucked by the upper side plane part 5b of the toilet lid 5, a user attaches only by pressing a suction cup from the upper side to the upper side plane part 5b of the closed toilet lid 5 be able to. Therefore, it is not necessary to bend the waist when performing the attachment work, and the toilet lid opening / closing tool 10 can be easily attached (sucked). In addition, since it can be installed in an existing toilet, it is not necessary to modify the Western toilet. Further, even when the toilet lid opening / closing tool 10 is repeatedly attached to and detached from the toilet lid 5 and the toilet lid 5 is opened and closed using the toilet lid opening / closing tool 10, the toilet lid 5 is not damaged or damaged. .

The toilet lid opening / closing tool 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention has been described above. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, and various modifications and changes can be made based on the technical idea of the present invention. It is.
For example, in this Embodiment, although the attaching part 11 is comprised with the suction cup, it is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the edge 5 a of the toilet lid 5 can be attached.

  The attaching part 51 of the toilet lid opening / closing tool 50 is formed in a substantially U-shaped cross section. As shown in FIG. 4, a rim 56 that extends downward is often directed to the edge 5 a of the toilet lid 5. Therefore, the U-shaped opening of the attachment portion 51 is formed in a size that allows various toilet lid rims 56 to enter.

  A screw hole 54 is formed below the attachment portion 51, and a pressing screw 55 is screwed into the screw hole 54. The attachment portion 51 is fixed so that the toilet lid 5 is sandwiched vertically by tightening the screw. A cushioning material such as rubber may be provided at a portion where the attachment portion 51 and the toilet lid 5 are in direct contact to prevent the toilet lid 5 from being damaged or damaged.

  As shown in FIG. 5, a suction cup 11 may be provided on the inner upper surface of the attachment portion 51, and the suction cup 11 may be adsorbed to the upper flat portion 5 b of the toilet lid 5. Thereby, the toilet lid opening / closing tool 50 can be more reliably fixed by the force fixed by being pinched and the suction force of the suction cup 11.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the grip portion 12 receives the frictional force from the standing wall 11a and maintains the rotational posture, but is not limited thereto. For example, in the state where the toilet lid 5 is closed and the grip portion 12 extends in the up-and-down direction (the state shown in FIG. 1), the posture is maintained by the above-described frictional force. When it is rotated, this frictional force may not be applied (not contacted).

  According to this, the grip part 12 is rotated with respect to the attachment part 11 only by lifting the grip part 12 upward. Therefore, the user can open the toilet lid 5 simply by pulling the grip portion 12 upward regardless of the opening / closing angle of the toilet lid 5, and can perform the opening / closing operation more easily.

  Further, the rotating structure of the attachment portion 11 and the grip portion 12 need not be provided as long as the grip portion 12 does not interfere with the low tank 3 when the toilet lid 5 is opened. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the grip portion 12 may be directly fixed and attached to the attachment portion 51.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the gripping portion 12 is bent, and the gripping portion is formed by an inclined portion 12 a extending obliquely outward from the mounting portion 51 and a vertical portion 12 b extending upward from the upper end of the inclined portion 12 a. 12 may be configured. The inclined portion 12 a extends obliquely to a position where the vertical portion 12 b does not interfere with the low tank 3 when the toilet lid 5 is opened. Thereby, the rotation structure as shown in FIG. 2 becomes unnecessary.

  Furthermore, since the attachment part 11 shown by this Embodiment is comprised with the suction cup and is made to adsorb | suck to the upper side plane part 5b of the toilet lid 5, it does not look good. Therefore, you may make it affix a seal | sticker so that the upper side of a suction cup may be covered, in the state attached to the toilet lid 5. FIG. This seal is, for example, a design that is shaped like a floral pattern or a musical note, and is preferably one that makes the user feel at ease. Thereby, even when a visitor uses the toilet, the appearance of the toilet lid 5 is not deteriorated because the toilet lid opening / closing tool 10 is attached.
