Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an apparatus for attaching a toilet seat to a Western-style toilet, and more particularly to a toilet seat attaching apparatus that allows a toilet seat support member such as a toilet seat box to be easily attached to and detached from a Western-style toilet.
[0002]
[Prior art]
To attach a toilet seat or toilet lid to a Western-style toilet, a toilet seat support member such as a toilet seat box is fixed to the Western-style toilet with a synthetic resin bolt, and the toilet seat or toilet lid is supported by the toilet seat support member so that the toilet seat and the toilet lid can be rotated in the vertical direction. There are many cases.
[0003]
Dirt such as urine is infiltrated between the toilet seat support member and the upper surface of the Western-style toilet bowl, which is likely to cause odor. Therefore, a toilet seat support member has been proposed that can be moved up and down by a lifting device with respect to a Western-style toilet, and the toilet seat support member is moved upward together with the toilet seat when cleaning the Western-style toilet (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-28619). ).
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
When the toilet seat support member can be moved up and down by the lifting device, the structure is complicated and the cost becomes high. Further, if the lift switch is turned on while seated on the toilet seat, an excessive force is applied to the lifting device, which may cause a failure.
[0005]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 is a side view of a Western-style toilet with a toilet seat box attached by the toilet seat mounting device according to the embodiment, FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line II-II in FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the toilet seat box, FIG. FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view showing how the toilet seat box is attached and detached, FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the iron plate 3, and FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the iron plate 2.
[0012]
An iron plate 2 as a ferromagnetic material is integrally fixed to the bottom of the toilet seat box 1 by insert molding or adhesion. On the bottom surface of the toilet seat box 1, a recess 1 a having a size substantially the same as an iron plate 3 described later is provided.
[0013]
This iron plate 2 is substantially U-shaped as shown in FIG. 6, and a coil 2 a is wound thereon, whereby the iron plate 2 becomes one U-shaped electromagnet. The iron plate 2 and the coil 2a constitute a second mounting member.
[0014]
Two convex portions 2 b are projected from the lower surface of the iron plate 2.
[0015]
An iron plate 3 as a ferromagnetic material is fixed to the upper surface of the rear part of the western-style toilet 1 with bolts 5. The iron plate 3 is provided with a recess 3a extending in the front-rear direction of the Western-style toilet 4, and a slit 3b extending in the front-rear direction of the Western-style toilet 4 is provided in the recess 3a. A flat plate-like head portion 5a of a synthetic resin bolt 5 is inserted above the slit 3b. The screw rod portion 5b of the bolt 5 extends downward through the slit 3b. The bolt head 5a is sized to fit into the recess 3a. This iron plate 3 constitutes a first mounting member.
[0016]
A bolt insertion hole 4b for allowing the threaded rod portion 5b of the bolt 5 to pass through is provided in the rear portion of the toilet bowl 4a of the Western-style toilet 4. The iron plate 2 is placed on the Western-style toilet 4 through the flat packing 6, the bolt 5 is passed through the bolt insertion hole 4 b, and the nut 10 is attached to the bolt 5 through the hemispherical packing 8 and the slip washer 9. The front and rear positions of the toilet seat box 1 are adjusted so that the front end of the toilet seat 11 attached to the toilet seat box 1 protrudes about 5 to 20 mm from the front end of the western-style toilet 4, and then the nut 10 is tightened to attach the toilet seat box 1 to the western-style toilet. Fix to 4.
[0017]
A toilet lid 12 is also attached to the toilet seat box 1 so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction. Inside the toilet seat box 1, a human body part cleaning mechanism such as a hot water spray nozzle is installed.
[0018]
The thickness of the head 5a of the bolt 5 is smaller than the depth of the recess 3a. Moreover, the height of the convex part 2b of the iron plate 2 is also smaller than the depth of the concave 3a. And the sum of the height of the convex part 2b and the thickness of the bolt head 5a is smaller than the depth of the concave 3a.
[0019]
The convex portion 2a is sized to fit into the concave strip 3a.
[0020]
A power cord 15 is pulled out from the toilet seat box 1, and a plug 16 is provided at the tip thereof. In the toilet seat box 1, a rectifier circuit (not shown) and a switch 17 are provided for rectifying the commercial power source into a DC voltage and supplying it to the coil 2c.
[0021]
When the toilet seat box 1 is placed on the iron plate 3, the recess 1 a on the lower surface of the toilet seat box 1 is engaged with the iron plate 3. When the plug 16 is inserted into the outlet and the switch 17 is turned on, the coil 2c is excited, the iron plates 2 and 3 are strongly adsorbed by magnetic force, and the toilet seat box 1 is fixed to the Western-style toilet 4. When the switch 17 is turned OFF, the adsorption force of the iron plates 2 and 3 disappears, and the toilet seat box 1 can be easily removed from the Western-style toilet.
[0022]
Although the switch 17 is provided in the above embodiment, the coil 2a may be energized immediately after the plug 16 is inserted into the outlet. In this case, the toilet seat box 1 can be removed from the Western-style toilet 4 by removing the plug 16 from the outlet.
[0023]
