  FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the hinge pin holding portion 15 as viewed from the hinge pin 13R side. As indicated by an arrow, the operation portion 14a is slidable in the axial direction of the hinge pin 13L. The operation portion 14a is biased by a spring or the like toward the direction of the hinge pin 13R (the right direction in FIG. 2 and the left direction in FIG. 4). When the operation portion 14a is slid away from the tip end portion 13a of the hinge pin 13L (rightward in FIG. 4), the hole 15h of the hinge pin holding portion 15 is opened as shown in FIG. 2B. . Therefore, the tip portion 13a of the hinge pin 13L can be taken out or inserted from the hole 15h provided in the hinge pin holding portion 15. When the distal end portion 13a of the hinge pin 13L is inserted into the hole 15h and the operation portion 14a returns to the state shown in FIG. 2A, the distal end portion 13a of the hinge pin 13L is fixed to the hinge pin holding portion 15.

  FIG. 5A is a schematic diagram illustrating an operation of removing the toilet lid 12, and FIG. 5B is a schematic diagram illustrating an operation of removing the toilet seat 11.

  First, in order to remove the toilet lid 12, the operation unit 14a is operated and is slid in the direction of arrow a in FIG. 5A (the direction from the right side to the left side in FIG. 2). Thereby, as shown in FIG.2 (b), the downward direction of the front-end | tip part 13a of the hinge pin 13L is open | released, and the hinge pin 13L comes out downward. Therefore, the hinge pin 13L can be removed from the hinge pin holding portion 15 by lifting the base end portion 12a on the left side of the toilet lid 12 in the direction represented by the arrow b in FIG.

  As a result, the base end portion 12b on the right side of the toilet lid 12 connected to the base end portion 11b (FIG. 2) on the right side of the toilet seat 11 so as to rotate freely can be easily removed. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5A, after the toilet lid 12 is lifted diagonally to the right (arrow b in FIG. 5A), the toilet lid 12 is slid from the left side to the right side in FIG. 5A. Then, the base end portion 11b and the base end portion 12b are easily detached, and the toilet lid 12 can be completely removed from the toilet seat 11.

  The hinge pin receiving portion 11aa that can idle on the shaft portion of the hinge pin 13L for driving the toilet lid and is detachably engaged with the main body without being operated is separated from the hinge pin 13L when the toilet lid 12 is completely removed. be able to. That is, the left base end portion 11a can be easily detached from the main body 10 by lifting the toilet seat 11 diagonally upward to the right as shown in FIG.

  Thereby, the bag-shaped holding portion 16 coupled to the hinge pin 13R can be easily detached from the hinge pin 13R. That is, the toilet seat 11 can be easily removed from the main body portion 10 by removing the holding portion 16 from the distal end portion 13b of the hinge pin 13R without performing a special operation such as operating the operation portion 14a when removing the toilet lid 12. Can do.

  On the other hand, when the removed toilet seat 11 is attached to the main body portion 10 again, first, the bag-shaped holding portion 16 that is not provided with the detachable operation portion is fitted so as to be aligned with the distal end portion 13b of the hinge pin 13R. Since the hinge pin receiving portion 11aa is also detachable from the main body without any particular operation, the toilet seat 11 can be easily attached to the main body 10.

  When attaching the removed toilet lid 12 to the main body 10 and the toilet seat 11 again, first, the base end portion 12b which is a toilet seat receiving portion is fitted into the right base end portion 11b of the toilet seat 11. Next, the toilet lid 12 can be easily attached to the main body 10 and the toilet seat 11 by inserting the hinge pin 13 </ b> L into the hinge pin holding portion 15.

  Here, since the holding part 16 has a bag shape in which a hole part into which the hinge pin is inserted is opened only in the axial direction, in order to fit the holding part 16 to the T-shaped tip part 13b of the hinge pin, the holding part 16 It is necessary to attach 16 in accordance with the direction of the T-shaped tip portion 13b of the hinge pin. For this reason, when the T-shaped tip portion 13b of the hinge pin rotates too much in the opening direction, such as when the toilet seat 11 has a mechanism that is always urged in the opening direction, the toilet seat 11 is also correspondingly removed. Must be installed at a large angle. However, in actuality, even if the toilet seat 11 is to be opened greatly, the opening angle is often limited due to a low tank or the like behind it, which is closed (smaller than the turning angle of the T-shaped tip portion 13b of the hinge pin). ) It may be necessary to attach the toilet seat 11 at an angle.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, if the holding pin 16 is provided with the hinge pin fitting portion 16a having a rotational phase difference around the central axis of the hinge pin 13R, the hinge pin 13R rotates in the opening direction. Even when the angle of the tip 13b of the hinge pin is larger than the opening angle of the toilet seat 11, the hinge pin fitting portion 16a having an angular phase difference in the same direction as the opening direction of the hinge pin is engaged with the tip 13b of the hinge pin. The bag-shaped holding portion 16 can be easily fitted into the hinge pin 13b by twisting the hinge pin 13R to return the rotation.

  In the specific example described above, the hinge pins 13R and 13L do not drive the toilet seat 11 and the toilet lid 12, respectively, but may have a damper mechanism that brakes the opening and closing operation.

  Further, the structure of the shaft support portions of the toilet seat 11 and the toilet lid 12 may be reversed. That is, when the user operates the operation unit (corresponding to the operation unit 14), the toilet seat 11 can be removed first, and then the toilet lid 12 can be removed without operating the operation unit.
