Among these electrical components, the hot water cleaning device has various functions, has a large number of switches, and is often operated while sitting on a toilet, so a remote control equipped with an operation switch can be attached to the wall of the toilet room. May be attached. FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing an example of a toilet room equipped with a remote control, and FIG. 10 is a front view of the remote control.
[0003]
A low tank 11 is installed on the rear upper surface of the Western-style toilet 10, and a toilet seat box 12 is installed on the front side of the low tank 11. The toilet seat box 12 has a protruding portion 13 that protrudes to the side of the Western-style toilet 10, and a switch panel (name plate) 14 is provided on the upper surface of the protruding portion 13.
[0004]
The toilet seat box 12 is provided with cleaning nozzles 15 and 16, a hot air drying fan (not shown), and the like. Further, a toilet seat 17 and a toilet lid 18 are attached to the toilet seat box 12 so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction.
[0005]
A remote controller 20 is installed on the wall of the toilet room on the side of the Western-style toilet 10. This remote control 20 includes anal washing operation switches (shower switches) 21a, 21b, 21c, bidet washing operation switches 22a, 22b, 22c, dry switches 23a, 23b, 23c for blowing hot air, and anal washing (shower washing). ), A stop switch 24 is installed to stop operations such as bidet cleaning and warm air drying. Of the switches 21a to 21c, 22a to 22c, and 23a to 23c, 21a, 22a, and 23a are weak switches that reduce the amount of hot water or hot air, and 21c, 22c, and 23c control the amount of hot water or hot air, respectively. It is a strong switch that is assumed to be large, and 21b, 22b, and 23b are medium switches that use the amount of hot water or the amount of hot air as an intermediate amount.
[0006]
In addition, the remote controller 20 is provided with a switch 25 for increasing the temperature of hot water or hot air and a switch 26 for decreasing the temperature.
[0007]
A similar switch is also provided on the switch panel 14 in the overhang portion. Although not shown, a wide washing on / off switch for adjusting the spread of washing, a washing position advance switch, its backward switch, and a toilet seat temperature adjustment switch for adjusting the temperature of the toilet seat may be provided.
[0008]
The remote controller 20 is provided with a display screen 27 made of liquid crystal for displaying the time, the temperature in the toilet room, the operation status of the apparatus, the remaining battery capacity, and the like.
[0009]
In the remote controller 20, in addition to a circuit for transmitting operation signals of the switches 21a to 21c, 22a to 22c, 23a to 23c, and 24 to 26 to the toilet seat box 12 as infrared rays, characters and the like are displayed on the display screen 27. A liquid crystal drive control circuit for display is installed.
[0010]
In the hot water cleaning apparatus with a remote controller configured in this way, shower cleaning, bidet cleaning, or hot air drying can be performed by operating the switches 21a to 23c. This washing operation or drying operation can be terminated by the switch 24. By operating the switch 25 or 26 during the washing or drying operation, the washing water temperature or the hot air temperature can be adjusted. A bracket is used to attach the remote control to the wall of the toilet room.
[0011]
An example of a conventional remote control mounting bracket (conventional example of JP-A-7-324366) will be described with reference to FIG. The remote control mounting bracket 1 has a substantially flat plate shape, and ribs 2 and 3 are erected on the front side on the left and right side portions and the lower side portion. On the ribs 2 on the left and right sides, claw portions 4 project inwardly. In order to attach the bracket 1 to the wall surface 5 of the toilet room, an insertion hole 7 for the screw 6 is provided in the bracket 1.
[0012]
The remote control 8 is provided with grooves 9 on the left and right sides for engaging the claw portion 4. On the front surface of the remote controller 8, a hot water cleaning device (device for cleaning the buttocks with warm water), a switch for controlling toilet electrical components such as a heated toilet seat or a toilet air conditioner is provided.
[0013]
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-206615 describes that a paper holder is provided with a remote control mounting portion so that the remote control can be attached to the wall surface without making a new fixing hole in the toilet room wall surface. .
[0014]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Since the conventional remote control mounting bracket is fixed to the wall with screws as shown in Fig. 11, the remote control must be attached to the wall in rental housing where screw fastening is prohibited by tenant contracts. Cannot be put on the shelf, leaving the remote control on the bay window. Such a remote control not only detracts from the beauty of the toilet room, but also tends to be a hindrance when placing decorative items such as storage items or spare paper.
[0015]
In Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-206615, the remote control can be installed only on the paper holder, the installation location of the remote control is limited, and it is necessary to purchase a special one as a paper holder. It cannot be applied as it is.
[0016]
An object of the present invention is to solve such problems and to make it possible to use a bracket for mounting on a wall of a remote control as a bracket for standing up a remote control.
[0017]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
A remote control mounting bracket according to the present invention is a bracket that is fixed to a wall surface of a toilet room. In the remote control mounting bracket having a remote control mounting portion, a part of the remote control mounting bracket is bent into an upright piece, and the remote control is A remote control mounting bracket that can be stood on the upright piece , wherein the remote control mounting bracket includes a flat plate portion that faces the wall surface and a rib that is erected on the lower side portion of the flat plate portion when fixed to the wall surface. When the remote control is stood against the remote control mounting bracket, the upright piece is stood up obliquely, the tip of the upright piece is inserted into the recess on the back of the remote control, and the lower end of the remote control is applied to the rib, The remote control can be leaned against the upright piece .
[0018]
Such a remote control mounting bracket can be used for mounting on the wall of the remote control as in the case of the conventional remote control mounting bracket in a state where no standing piece is formed. When the upright piece is raised, this bracket can be placed on the shelf or bay window of the toilet room and used to lean the remote control.
[0019]
