上記特許文献１の洗浄便座では、落下防止や安全性向上のために、主部は容易には取り外せない構造としてある。しかしながら、長期未使用時における凍結防止のためのタンクからの水抜きや、内部の点検のためには主部の取り外しが必要になる。この場合には、基部を便器本体に固定している締結ボルト及びナットを緩め、洗浄便座全体を一括して取り外していた。この取り外し及び後の再取り付けでは、便器後方のロータンクの下部の狭隘なスペースで作業を行う必要があり、難儀で且つ細心の注意が必要であった。   In the washing toilet seat of the above-mentioned patent document 1, the main part has a structure that cannot be easily removed in order to prevent falling and improve safety. However, it is necessary to remove the main part in order to drain water from the tank to prevent freezing when not in use for a long period of time and to inspect the inside. In this case, the fastening bolts and nuts fixing the base to the toilet body are loosened, and the entire cleaning toilet seat is removed at once. In this removal and subsequent re-attachment, it is necessary to work in a narrow space below the low tank behind the toilet bowl, which is difficult and requires careful attention.

本発明は、上述の背景に鑑みてなされたものであり、移動可能な主部を便座及び便蓋と共に、基部から容易に且つ安全に取り外すことのできる便座装置を提供する。   The present invention has been made in view of the above-described background, and provides a toilet seat device that can easily and safely remove a movable main portion together with a toilet seat and a toilet lid from a base portion.

本発明の便座装置は、便器本体の上面後方に配設され、前方に開口部を有し前記便座本体の前後方向に形成されたガイド溝を両側に持つ基部と、前記ガイド溝に挿架されるピンを有し、前記基部上で回動可能に保持される主部とを備え、前記主部が前記基部に対して前後方向に摺動するとともに、前記主部の前方が前記ピンを中心に回動して浮上し、さらに前記ピンを前記ガイド溝から離脱させて前記主部を前記基部から取り外す便座装置において、前記開口部からの前記ピンの離脱を規制するとともに規制を解除することで離脱を許容し前記主部を取り外せるようにする可動板を備えることを特徴とする。 The toilet seat device of the present invention is disposed behind the upper surface of the toilet body , has a base portion having an opening on the front and formed in the front-rear direction of the toilet seat body on both sides, and is inserted into the guide groove. A main portion that is pivotably held on the base portion, the main portion slides in the front-rear direction with respect to the base portion, and the front of the main portion is centered on the pin In the toilet seat device that rotates and floats, and further detaches the pin from the guide groove and removes the main portion from the base, the detachment of the pin from the opening is restricted and the restriction is released. A movable plate is provided that allows separation and allows the main portion to be removed .

本発明は可動式の便座装置を改良するものであり、普段は主部を移動させて清掃の便宜を図るとともに、必要に応じて主部を取り外せるようにしている。本発明の便座装置は、基部と、主部と、便座及び／又は便蓋と、を備えており、基部が主部を着脱可能に保持する構造に特徴を有している。   The present invention improves the movable toilet seat device, and usually the main part is moved for convenience of cleaning, and the main part can be removed if necessary. The toilet seat device of the present invention includes a base, a main part, a toilet seat and / or a toilet lid, and has a feature in a structure in which the base holds the main part in a detachable manner.

基部は、便器本体の上面後方に配設され、主部を摺動可能及び回動可能に保持している。基部は、例えばボルトなどの締結部材により、便器本体の上面後方に固定されている。基部は、主部を保持するために、便器本体の前後方向に形成されたガイド溝を両側に持っている。 The base is disposed behind the upper surface of the toilet main body, and holds the main part so as to be slidable and rotatable . The base is fixed to the rear of the upper surface of the toilet body by a fastening member such as a bolt, for example. The base has guide grooves formed on both sides in the front-rear direction of the toilet body in order to hold the main part.

ガイド溝は、基部の両側面にそれぞれ１箇所ずつ合計２箇所に設けることができる。ガイド溝の断面形状は、一般的な矩形断面でよく、また、外れ防止のために、溝の入口よりも内部を広くしてもよい。ガイド溝の前後方向の長さは、主部が摺動するストローク長と略一致するため、清掃時の便宜を考慮して定められるのが好ましい。さらに、ガイド溝は前方に開口部を持っており、ガイド溝と外部とは連続している。 Guide grooves may be provided a total of two positions one each place on both sides of the base portion. The cross-sectional shape of the guide groove may be a general rectangular cross section, and the inside of the guide groove may be wider than the entrance of the groove in order to prevent the guide groove from coming off. Since the length of the guide groove in the front-rear direction substantially coincides with the stroke length of the main portion sliding, it is preferably determined in consideration of convenience during cleaning. Further, the guide groove has an opening at the front, and the guide groove and the outside are continuous.

主部は、便座装置の主要な部位であり、便座及び／又は便蓋を回動可能に保持している。と共に、洗浄ノズルや温水タンクなどの洗浄機構を備えるようにしてもよい。さらに、便座は、ヒーターや保温部などを持つ暖房便座であってもよい。主部は、基部の両側のガイド溝にそれぞれ挿架されるピンを持っている。 The main part is a main part of the toilet seat device, and holds the toilet seat and / or the toilet lid so as to be rotatable. In addition, a cleaning mechanism such as a cleaning nozzle or a hot water tank may be provided. Further, the toilet seat may be a heating toilet seat having a heater, a heat retaining unit, and the like. The main portion has pins that are respectively inserted into the guide grooves on both sides of the base portion.

前記ピンの断面は略楕円であって、その長径が前記ガイド溝の幅よりも大きいことが好ましい。また、ピンの断面はガイド溝の幅よりも小さい略円形であってもよい。いずれの場合にも、ピンを中心軸にして主部の前方を回転させ、便器本体から浮上させることができる。とりわけ断面が楕円の場合には、回転の途中でピンがガイド溝に挟持され、主部から手を離しても浮上状態が保持されるため、清掃作業に好都合である。また、ピン自体はガイド溝を摺動するが回転はしないで、主部とピンとが相対回転可能に保持されるように構成してもよい。ピンが開口部を通ってガイド溝に入り込み挿架されることにより、主部は基部に対して前後方向に摺動可能となる。と共に、任意の摺動位置でピンは回転の中心軸となり、主部の前方が浮上可能となる。なお、ピンは、使用者の邪魔にならないように、主部の下面に設けることができる。 It is preferable that the cross section of the pin is substantially oval, and the major axis is larger than the width of the guide groove. The cross section of the pin may be a substantially circular shape that is smaller than the width of the guide groove. In any case, the front of the main part can be rotated about the pin as the central axis, and can be floated from the toilet body. In particular, when the cross section is an ellipse, the pin is clamped in the guide groove in the middle of rotation , and the floating state is maintained even if the hand is released from the main part, which is convenient for cleaning work. Further, the pin itself slides in the guide groove but does not rotate, and the main portion and the pin may be held so as to be relatively rotatable. When the pin enters the guide groove through the opening and is inserted, the main portion can slide in the front-rear direction with respect to the base. At the same time, the pin becomes the central axis of rotation at any sliding position, and the front of the main part can float. In addition, a pin can be provided in the lower surface of a main part so that a user may not be disturbed.

主部の基部に対する着脱を許容・禁止する手段として、開口部からのピンの離脱を規制するとともに規制を解除することで離脱を許容し主部を取り外せるようにする可動板を備える。可動板は、ピンをガイド溝に入れるとき及び離脱させるときにのみ開口部を開き、それ以外では開口部を閉じるように形成することができる。これにより、使用中あるいは清掃中には開口部を閉じ、主部を確実に保持することができる。ガイド溝の開口部は主部の両側にあるので、可動板はそれぞれに設けられ、両方が一緒に開閉することが、使用上好ましい。例えばスライドすることにより開口部を塞ぐ可動板を基部に設けることができる。 As a means for permitting / prohibiting attachment / detachment of the main part to / from the base part , a movable plate is provided which restricts the detachment of the pin from the opening and allows the detachment by releasing the restriction so that the main part can be removed. The movable plate can be formed so that the opening is opened only when the pin is inserted into and removed from the guide groove, and otherwise the opening is closed. Thereby, during use or during cleaning, the opening can be closed and the main part can be securely held . Since the opening part of the guide groove is on both sides of the main part, it is preferable in use that the movable plates are respectively provided and both of them open and close together . The movable plate for closing the opening portion by example if the slide can be provided on the base.

さらに、前記可動板に対して前記開口部からの前記ピンの離脱を規制する方向に常時付勢する付勢手段を備えるようにしてもよい。また、前記付勢手段は、前記基部と前記可動板との間に設けるようにしてもよい。例えば、常時は付勢手段により可動板がスライドして開口部を塞ぎ、主部を着脱するときだけ付勢手段を解除するように構成することができる。付勢手段には、例えばばね部材を用いることができる。また、前記付勢手段に抗して操作することにより両側の前記ガイド溝の前記開口部からの前記ピンの離脱を許容する解除部材を備えるようにしてもよい。 Furthermore, you may make it provide the biasing means always biased with respect to the said movable plate in the direction which controls the detachment | leave of the said pin from the said opening part . Further, the urging means may be provided between the base and the movable plate. For example, the movable plate can be normally slid by the biasing means to close the opening, and the biasing means can be released only when the main part is attached or detached . For example, a spring member can be used as the biasing means. Moreover, you may make it provide the releasing member which accept | releases the said pin from the said opening part of the said guide groove on both sides by operating against the said urging | biasing means.

なお、使用中に主部が移動しないように、摺動位置の後方側で主部を基部又は便器本体に固定する係止機構を設けることが好ましい。   In addition, it is preferable to provide a locking mechanism for fixing the main part to the base or the toilet body at the rear side of the sliding position so that the main part does not move during use.

次に、上述のように構成された本発明の便座装置の組み付け方法、作用について説明する。まず、締結部材を用いて、便座本体の上面後方に基部を固定する。次に、ピンを基部の前方側の開口部にあわせるようにして、主部を便器本体上に戴置する。続いて、付勢手段を解除して開口部を開き、主部を後方へ押して移動させる。すると、ピンは開口部を通ってガイド溝に挿架され、主部が基部に保持される。さらに、ピンを摺動させながらガイド溝の後方側に達するまで、主部を後方側へ押し込む。ここで、係止機構を用いて主部を固定することにより、使用可能な状態となる。   Next, an assembling method and operation of the toilet seat device of the present invention configured as described above will be described. First, a base is fixed to the back of the upper surface of the toilet seat body using a fastening member. Next, the main part is placed on the toilet body so that the pin is aligned with the opening on the front side of the base. Subsequently, the biasing means is released to open the opening, and the main part is pushed backward to be moved. Then, the pin is inserted into the guide groove through the opening, and the main part is held by the base. Further, the main portion is pushed backward until it reaches the rear side of the guide groove while sliding the pin. Here, it will be in a usable state by fixing a main part using a locking mechanism.

清掃時には、係止機構を外して主部を摺動させ、また任意の摺動位置で主部の前方を回動して浮上させるとともに便座及び便蓋を回動することにより、便器本体上面を順に開放してゆくことができる。なお清掃時には、付勢手段が作用して開口部は閉じているため、主部が外れることはない。 When cleaning, remove the locking mechanism, slide the main part , rotate the front of the main part at an arbitrary sliding position and float, and rotate the toilet seat and toilet lid to It can be opened in order. At the time of cleaning, the biasing means acts and the opening is closed, so that the main part does not come off.

主部を取り外すときには、まず係止機構を外した後に、ピンをガイド溝の中で摺動させながら、主部を前方に引き出す。次に、付勢手段を解除して開口部を開き、ピンを開口部から離脱させながら、さらに主部を引き出すことにより取り外すことができる。このように、基部は便器本体に固定されたまま、主部を持ち上げる必要もなく安全に着脱することができる。   When removing the main part, first, after removing the locking mechanism, the main part is pulled forward while sliding the pin in the guide groove. Next, the biasing means is released to open the opening, and the pin can be removed by pulling out the main part while removing the pin from the opening. In this way, the base can be safely attached and detached without having to lift the main part while being fixed to the toilet body.

本発明の便座装置では、主部にピンを設けて基部に設けたガイド溝に挿架し、且つピンがガイド溝の開口部から離脱できるようにし、ピンの離脱を規制および解除する可動板を備えるようにした。したがって、主部を前後方向に移動させる容易な操作で、基部から安全に着脱することができる。さらに、可動板を常時付勢する付勢手段や、付勢手段に抗して操作することによりピンの離脱を許容する解除部材を備えた態様では、常時及び清掃時に主部が外れることがないため、より安全且つ確実である。 In the toilet seat device of the present invention, a movable plate is provided that restricts and releases the detachment of the pin by providing a pin in the main portion, inserting it in the guide groove provided in the base, and allowing the pin to be detached from the opening of the guide groove. I prepared. Therefore, it can be safely detached from the base by an easy operation of moving the main part in the front-rear direction. Furthermore, in the aspect provided with the urging means that always urges the movable plate and the release member that allows the detachment of the pin by operating against the urging means , the main part does not come off at all times and during cleaning. Therefore, it is safer and more reliable.

本発明を実施するための最良の形態を、図１〜図３を参考にして説明する。図１は、本発明の実施例の洗浄便座装置１を示す斜視図である。図中の一点鎖線は、別々に描かれた部材が実際には係合して用いられることを示している。実施例の洗浄便座装置１は、基部４と、主部２と、便座６及び便蓋７と、で構成されている。   The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a cleaning toilet seat device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The alternate long and short dash line in the drawing indicates that the members drawn separately are actually engaged and used. The cleaning toilet seat device 1 according to the embodiment includes a base portion 4, a main portion 2, a toilet seat 6 and a toilet lid 7.

基部４は略矩形の部材で左右対称に形成され、中央部分の左右に２つの固定用長穴４４が穿孔されている。固定用長穴４４により、基部４の取り付け位置を便器本体５の前後方向に調整することができる。固定用長穴４４は便器本体５の取付穴とともに、固定ボルト４５、ナット４６、ワッシャ４７、パッキン４８の締結部材により締め付けられ、基部４が便器本体５の上面５１後方に固定されている。基部４の両側面には便器本体５の前後方向にガイド溝４３がそれぞれ、合計２箇所配設されている。ガイド溝４３の断面は側方に開いた略コ形であり、コ形の上面と側面は基部４の部材が延伸して形成され、下面は便器本体５の上面５１が利用されている。ガイド溝４３の後方側は閉じた閉鎖部４９であり、前方側は開いた開口部３となっている。開口部３はガイド溝４３と同じ断面形状を持っている。   The base portion 4 is a substantially rectangular member and is formed bilaterally symmetrically, and two fixing long holes 44 are drilled on the left and right sides of the central portion. The attachment position of the base 4 can be adjusted in the front-rear direction of the toilet body 5 by the fixing long hole 44. The fixing long hole 44 is fastened together with the mounting holes of the toilet body 5 by fastening members of a fixing bolt 45, a nut 46, a washer 47, and a packing 48, and the base 4 is fixed to the rear of the upper surface 51 of the toilet body 5. A total of two guide grooves 43 are provided on both side surfaces of the base 4 in the front-rear direction of the toilet body 5. The cross section of the guide groove 43 is substantially U-shaped open to the side. The upper surface and the side surface of the U-shape are formed by extending the members of the base 4, and the upper surface 51 of the toilet body 5 is used as the lower surface. The rear side of the guide groove 43 is a closed closing portion 49, and the front side is an open opening 3. The opening 3 has the same cross-sectional shape as the guide groove 43.

主部２は、内部に洗浄機構を備える略箱状のケーシング２１を主体に形成されている。ケーシング２１の上面には、便座６及び便蓋７が回動可能に軸支されている。また、ケーシング２１の中央下部には、前後に摺動するときに基部４をすり抜けられるように断面矩形で前後方向に抜けた切欠き部２３が形成されている。切欠き部２３の内側の両側面には、内側に向き合って一対のピン２２が突設されている。ピン２２は、基部４のガイド溝４３のコ形断面の開いた部分に挿架されるようになっている。また、ピン２２の断面は略楕円であって、その長径はガイド溝４３の幅よりも大きく形成されている。   The main part 2 is mainly formed of a substantially box-shaped casing 21 having a cleaning mechanism therein. On the upper surface of the casing 21, a toilet seat 6 and a toilet lid 7 are pivotally supported. In addition, a notch portion 23 having a rectangular cross section and extending in the front-rear direction is formed in the lower center portion of the casing 21 so as to be able to pass through the base 4 when sliding back and forth. A pair of pins 22 project from both side surfaces inside the notch 23 so as to face the inside. The pin 22 is inserted in a portion where the U-shaped cross section of the guide groove 43 of the base portion 4 is open. Further, the cross section of the pin 22 is substantially elliptical, and the major axis is formed larger than the width of the guide groove 43.

上述のように構成された洗浄便座装置１では、以下の手順で主部２を基部４に取り付ける。まず、便器本体５の上面５１前方に主部２を戴置する。このとき、切欠き部２３が基部４の正面、ピン２２が開口部３の正面になるように配置する。次に、主部２を後方に押し移動させてゆけば、ピン２２は自然に開口部３を通ってガイド溝４３にまで達する。さらに、主部２を後方に押し込んでゆくと、ピン２２はガイド溝４３内を摺動して閉鎖部４９に達する。この位置で、主部２を図略の係止機構により固定することにより、取り付けが完了する。この作業では、ケーシング２１及び便座６は、便器上面５１を摺動するため、途中で持ち上げる必要はない。   In the cleaning toilet seat device 1 configured as described above, the main portion 2 is attached to the base portion 4 in the following procedure. First, the main part 2 is placed in front of the upper surface 51 of the toilet body 5. At this time, it arrange | positions so that the notch part 23 may become the front of the base 4, and the pin 22 may become the front of the opening part 3. FIG. Next, if the main part 2 is pushed and moved backward, the pin 22 naturally reaches the guide groove 43 through the opening 3. Further, when the main portion 2 is pushed backward, the pin 22 slides inside the guide groove 43 and reaches the closing portion 49. At this position, the main part 2 is fixed by an unillustrated locking mechanism, whereby the attachment is completed. In this operation, the casing 21 and the toilet seat 6 slide on the toilet bowl upper surface 51, and therefore do not need to be lifted halfway.

主部２の取り外しは、上述の取り付けと逆の手順で行う。すなわち、まず、係止機構を外して主部２が移動できるようにする。次に、主部２を前方に引き出すと、ピン２２はガイド溝４３内を摺動して開口部３まで出てくる。さらに主部２を引き出すと、ピン２２は開口部３を通過して離脱し、主部２は便器本体５の上面５１前方の中央に引き出される。このように主部２の着脱は容易な作業で行え、且つ作業の途中で持ち上げたりする必要がないため安全である。   Removal of the main part 2 is performed in the reverse order of the above attachment. That is, first, the locking mechanism is removed so that the main part 2 can move. Next, when the main part 2 is pulled forward, the pin 22 slides in the guide groove 43 and comes out to the opening 3. When the main portion 2 is further pulled out, the pin 22 passes through the opening portion 3 and is separated, and the main portion 2 is pulled out to the center in front of the upper surface 51 of the toilet body 5. Thus, the main part 2 can be attached and detached easily, and it is safe because it does not need to be lifted during the work.

図２は、ピン２２が切欠き部２３の後端に設けられた別の実施例における主部２０の動作を説明する図であり、（ａ）は主部２０が前方に摺動した状態、（ｂ）は前方で主部２０が回動して浮上した状態を、それぞれ示している。主部２０は、常時は図２（ａ）に二点鎖線で示される後方側の位置に係止機構で固定され、使用に供されている。そして清掃時には、係止機構を外した後、ピン２２がガイド溝４３内を摺動するようにして、主部２０を前方に引き出すことができる。このとき、ケーシング２１及び便座６は、便器上面５１を摺動するため、持ち上げる必要はない。これにより、便器上面５１の最も後方側が開放されて、清掃できるようになる。 FIG. 2 is a view for explaining the operation of the main portion 20 in another embodiment in which the pin 22 is provided at the rear end of the notch portion 23, and (a) is a state in which the main portion 20 slides forward, (B) has each shown the state which the main part 20 rotated and floated ahead. The main part 20 is normally fixed to a position on the rear side indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. At the time of cleaning, after removing the locking mechanism, the main portion 20 can be pulled forward so that the pin 22 slides in the guide groove 43. At this time, since the casing 21 and the toilet seat 6 slide on the toilet upper surface 51, there is no need to lift them. As a result, the rearmost side of the toilet upper surface 51 is opened and can be cleaned.

次いで、図２（ｂ）に示すように、ピン２２を回転軸として主部２０を後方に傾けるようにして回動し浮上させることができる。この時、ピン２２の楕円断面の長径はガイド溝４３の幅よりも大きいので、回動の途中でピン２２はガイド溝４３の幅一杯を占め、挟持されるようになる。すると、主部２０は、手を離しても動かず、浮上状態に保持される。ここでさらに便座６及び便蓋７を上方から後方へと回動させることにより、便器上面５１の中央付近及び前方側が開放されて、清掃できるようになる。 Next, as shown in FIG. 2B, the main portion 20 can be rotated and floated with the pin 22 as a rotation axis so that the main portion 20 is inclined rearward. At this time, since the major axis of the elliptical cross section of the pin 22 is larger than the width of the guide groove 43, the pin 22 occupies the full width of the guide groove 43 during the rotation , and is pinched. Then, the main part 20 does not move even if the hand is released, and is held in a floating state. Here, by further rotating the toilet seat 6 and the toilet lid 7 from the upper side to the rear side, the vicinity of the center and the front side of the toilet upper surface 51 are opened and can be cleaned.

上述のように、主部２０の摺動と、主部２０の回動による浮上と、便座６及び便蓋７の回動とにより、便器本体５の上面５１全面を順に開放してゆき、清掃することができる。 As described above, the entire upper surface 51 of the toilet body 5 is sequentially opened by the sliding of the main portion 20, the floating by the rotation of the main portion 20, and the rotation of the toilet seat 6 and the toilet lid 7, and cleaning. can do.

図３は、本発明の実施例で可動板８１を有するガイド開閉手段８を備えた基部４０の水平断面図である。図３で（ａ）は開口部３が閉じた常時の状態を示し、（ｂ）は開口部３が開いた状態を示している。ガイド開閉手段８は、２枚の可動板８１と、付勢手段に相当するばね部材９と、解除部材８５と、で構成されている。 Figure 3 is a horizontal sectional view of the base portion 40 provided with a guide opening means 8 having a movable plate 81 in the embodiment of the present invention. 3A shows a normal state in which the opening 3 is closed, and FIG. 3B shows a state in which the opening 3 is opened. The guide opening / closing means 8 includes two movable plates 81, a spring member 9 corresponding to an urging means, and a release member 85.

２つの可動板８１は可撓性をもち、一端部８２が開口部３に交差するように出入りし、中間部８３は湾曲して、他端部８４は互いに接近して並行しばね部材９に一緒に保持されている。ばね部材９の一端は２つの可動板８１の他端部８４を保持し、他端は基部４０に固定されている。ばね部材９は、常時２つの可動板８１を付勢し、図３（ａ）に示されるように、一端部８２を開口部３に突出させ閉じている。解除部材８５は棒状の部材で、一端はばね部材９に当接し、他端で操作できるようになっている。そして、解除部材８５の他端が押下されると、図３（ｂ）に示されるように、ばね部材９が圧縮されて可動板８１を引き戻し、可動板８１の一端部８２が退いて開口部３を開くように構成されている。   The two movable plates 81 have flexibility, the one end portion 82 enters and exits so as to intersect the opening portion 3, the intermediate portion 83 is curved, and the other end portion 84 approaches and is parallel to the spring member 9. Are held together. One end of the spring member 9 holds the other end 84 of the two movable plates 81, and the other end is fixed to the base 40. The spring member 9 always urges the two movable plates 81 and closes the one end 82 projecting from the opening 3 as shown in FIG. The release member 85 is a rod-like member, and one end abuts on the spring member 9 and can be operated at the other end. When the other end of the release member 85 is pressed, the spring member 9 is compressed and the movable plate 81 is pulled back as shown in FIG. 3B, and the one end 82 of the movable plate 81 is retracted to open the opening. 3 is configured to open.

ガイド開閉手段８及びばね部材９を備えることにより、解除部材８５が押下されたとき以外は開口部３を閉じておくことができる。したがって、常時及び清掃時に主部２の着脱を禁止することができる。   By providing the guide opening / closing means 8 and the spring member 9, the opening 3 can be closed except when the release member 85 is pressed. Therefore, it is possible to prohibit the detachment of the main part 2 at all times and during cleaning.

なお、上述の各実施例に於いて、便座６は図示されないヒーターにより暖房される暖房便座であるが、必ずしも暖房便座である必要はない。また、主部２には洗浄機構が収容されていなくてもよい。つまり、主部２に便座６が回動可能に保持されているだけの、洗浄機構も暖房機構も便蓋７もないシンプルな構成であってもよい。この場合でも、本発明の採用により、便器本体５の上面５１の清掃が頗る容易に行えるからである。   In each of the embodiments described above, the toilet seat 6 is a heated toilet seat that is heated by a heater (not shown), but is not necessarily a heated toilet seat. Further, the main portion 2 may not contain a cleaning mechanism. That is, a simple configuration in which the toilet seat 6 is rotatably held in the main portion 2 and does not have a cleaning mechanism, a heating mechanism, or a toilet lid 7 may be used. Even in this case, it is because the upper surface 51 of the toilet body 5 can be easily cleaned by employing the present invention.
