Description

  The present invention relates to a toilet seat device, and particularly relates to cushioning when a user sits on a toilet seat.

  A toilet seat on a toilet generally installed in a toilet is usually a hard one made of plastic material. Since force may be applied during defecation and a solid seat is necessary, the toilet seat is formed of such a hard material. However, there was a hard sensation when sitting and it was never easy to sit down. Also, the toilet seat had leg rubber on the back side where it hits the upper surface of the toilet. However, these leg rubbers have been used as a means to alleviate a collision when a toilet seat provided on the upper surface of the toilet bowl is turned upside down and falls down on the upper surface of the toilet bowl.

  On the other hand, there is a toilet seat device with an elevating device as a means for eliminating the burden on the legs and legs when standing up from the toilet seat. Conventionally, this type of toilet seat device is provided with an air bag that expands and contracts by supplying and discharging air between an upper plate and a lower plate, and the upper plate and the lower plate are connected by left and right link bars. (For example, refer patent document 1).

  3 and 4 show a conventional toilet seat device described in Patent Document 1. FIG. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the lower plate 101 and the upper plate 102 are connected by the link bar 103, and the air bag 104 provided between the lower plate 101 and the upper plate 102 expands and contracts. The upper plate 102 moves up and down, and the toilet seat body 105 placed on the upper plate 102 moves up and down. In the figure, 107 is a toilet and 108 is a toilet seat.

  However, while the above-described plastic rigid toilet seat firmly catches the human body when sitting down, it is hard to say that it is easy to sit on because, on the other hand, it is shocked if it sits down vigorously when sitting down. In addition, even if the leg rubber on the back side of the toilet seat has cushioning properties, this has also been used as a means to alleviate the collision when the toilet seat falls down on the upper surface of the toilet bowl, and when the human body sits down Did not play the role of cushion.

Further, in the configuration of the toilet seat device with the lifting and lowering device, the link bar 103 that connects the upper plate 102 and the lower plate 101 exists on the left and right outer sides of the toilet seat device, so the lateral width of the toilet seat device is large. Furthermore, a cover 106 for preventing a finger or the like from being sandwiched between the link bars 103 is also required, and the width of the toilet seat device is further increased. Considering the recent housing situation, it is difficult to make a large toilet room, and if a large toilet seat device is installed, there is a problem that it is difficult to clean the toilet room. This toilet seat device with a lifting device is provided only for the care of a person with weak legs such as an elderly person, and the device has become a major factor for making it easier to sit.

1A is a schematic side view of the toilet seat device according to the first embodiment of the present invention when not seated, and FIG. 1B is a schematic side view when the toilet seat device is seated. It is. In FIG. 1, a horizontally long toilet seat device body 1 including a mechanism for washing an anus etc. after stool with warm water sprayed from a nozzle is installed in a lateral direction by a mounting bolt 3 and a plate 4 on a rear upper surface of a toilet bowl 2. It is fixed towards.

  The toilet seat apparatus body 1 has an elastic body 5 disposed between the plate 4 and the lower surface of the toilet seat apparatus body 1 to absorb a shock when the user is seated. Although details of the connection between the plate 4 and the toilet seat apparatus main body 1 are not shown in this drawing, an example of fixing the toilet seat apparatus main body 1 and the toilet bowl 2 is shown in FIG. FIG. 2 is a side view of the toilet seat device body 1 and the toilet 2 as seen from the rear. The plate 4 is fixed to the toilet 2 with two mounting bolts 3.

  One end of a connecting portion 6 is rotatably connected to both sides of the plate 4, and the other end of the connecting portion 6 is rotatably connected to a side portion of the toilet seat apparatus body 1. Therefore, the toilet seat apparatus main body 1 serves as a guide when moving up and down in response to compression and restoration of the elastic body 5 interposed between the plate 4 and the toilet seat apparatus main body 1.

  The connecting part 6 is connected to the side part of the toilet seat apparatus main body 1 by the shaft part 6a and the plate 4 by the shaft part 6d, using three long and narrow connection plates, and the shaft parts 6b and 6c. In the lock mechanism portion 11 having a structure in which the connecting plates are rotatably connected to each other, and the shaft portions 6a and 6c and the shaft portions 6b and 6d that face each other are engaged with each other, the load caused by the seating on the toilet seat 7 The elastic body 5 is compressed in response, and when the toilet seat device body 1 comes close to the upper surface of the toilet 2, the shaft portions 6a and 6c and the shaft portions 6b and 6d are engaged with each other and compressed. The toilet seat main body 1 is prevented from floating due to the repulsive force.

  A substantially U-shaped toilet seat 7 formed of a hard plastic is rotatably attached to both front sides of the toilet seat apparatus body 1 as shown in FIG. A front leg portion 8 is provided in front of the back surface facing the upper surface of the toilet 2, and a rear leg portion 9 as a support portion is provided on each of the left and right side rear surfaces. The rear leg portion 9 is provided with an elastic body 10 that absorbs a shock when the user is seated. The lock release mechanism part 12 is used to release the lock of the shaft parts 6a and 6c and the shaft parts 6b and 6d which are the lock mechanism parts fitted and engaged with each other, and the lock mechanism part 11 is fitted by a pin. The shaft portions 6a and 6c and the shaft portions 6b and 6d of the connecting portion 6 are disengaged, and only one of them is shown in FIG.

  The elastic body 5 may be a rubber-like material, a spring-like material, or a rubber ball in which an elastic force is applied. However, at this time, each control mechanism is required to extract air by detecting the seating and to input air when the seat is separated from the seating. Further, the elastic body 10 may be a spring or may be an elastic body formed of a foam. The compression requires a thickness of at least about 10 mm, and if possible, a thickness of about 20 to 40 mm provides cushioning properties and does not receive a shock when sitting.

  About the toilet seat apparatus of the said embodiment, the operation | movement and an effect | action are demonstrated below. First, normally, when a person is not using the toilet seat device main body 1 and the toilet seat 7 are in a state of being lifted from the toilet 2 surface by the elastic body 5 as shown in FIG. When the user sits on the toilet seat 7 for toilet, the weight of the human body is applied to the toilet seat 7, the elastic body 10 receives the weight and is compressed, and the toilet seat 7 sinks.

  Subsequently, since the toilet seat 7 is connected to the toilet seat device main body 1 via the toilet seat shaft, the toilet seat device main body 1 similarly receives a load. The toilet seat device body 1 that receives the load sinks by compressing the elastic body 5. These are sequentially performed and sink until the toilet seat main body 1 and the toilet seat 7 are fixed to the upper surface of the toilet bowl 2. Therefore, while the toilet seat apparatus body 1 and the toilet seat 7 sink, the force on the human body from the surface of the toilet seat 7 is relieved, and the elastic force of the elastic bodies 5 and 10 provides cushioning, so that the user can sit comfortably and comfortably.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, when the shaft portions 6a and 6c and the shaft portions 6b and 6d of the connecting portion 6 come on the same axis due to compression, the lock mechanism portion 11 that engages and locks the concave and convex acts and finishes the compression. When the toilet seat main body 1 sinks, the toilet seat body 1 and the toilet seat are fixed to the upper surface of the toilet bowl 2, and the rebound of each compressed elastic body prevents the toilet seat device main body and the toilet seat from feeling lifted. Will be better.

  When the stool ends and the seat 7 is separated from the toilet seat 7, the lock mechanism 11 is unlocked by the lock release mechanism 12, that is, the shafts 6 a and 6 c and the shafts 6 b and 6 d are slightly separated, and the elastic bodies 5, 10 are released. Thus, the toilet seat body 1 and the toilet seat 7 are lifted together, and the elastic body becomes free again at the time of leaving the seat and is ready to sit next.

  In the present embodiment, the elastic members 5 and 10 are provided on the toilet seat device body 1 and the toilet seat 7 and compressed to have cushioning properties. However, the toilet seat device body 1 is placed on the upper surface of the rear part of the toilet bowl 2. In the case of the toilet seat device fixed in the lateral direction, the same effect as the present embodiment can be expected by applying an elastic body only to the toilet seat 7 to provide cushioning.

  As described above, since the toilet seat device according to the present invention can provide a comfortable cushioning property with a compact configuration, it can also be applied to general chairs and the like.
