前カバー部44と後カバー部56は、便器本体12とともにベース部30を前側、左右両横側、後側から覆う。これらがベース部30を覆う範囲は、便器本体12を覆う範囲と同様である。つまり、前カバー部44は便器本体12に対して前側、左右両横側からベース部30を覆い、後カバー部56は便器本体12に対して後側からベース部30を覆う。前カバー部44の下端部44Aと後カバー部56の下端部56Aは、ベース部30の外周部に沿う形状を有する。前カバー部44の下端部44Aは床面60から若干の隙間66を空けて配置される。この隙間66は、施工誤差や製造誤差等の寸法誤差を吸収できる大きさに定められる。   The front cover portion 44 and the rear cover portion 56 cover the base portion 30 together with the toilet body 12 from the front side, the left and right sides, and the rear side. The range that covers the base portion 30 is the same as the range that covers the toilet body 12. That is, the front cover portion 44 covers the base portion 30 from the front side and the left and right sides of the toilet body 12, and the rear cover portion 56 covers the base portion 30 from the rear side of the toilet body 12. The lower end portion 44 </ b> A of the front cover portion 44 and the lower end portion 56 </ b> A of the rear cover portion 56 have a shape along the outer peripheral portion of the base portion 30. The lower end portion 44 </ b> A of the front cover portion 44 is disposed with a slight gap 66 from the floor surface 60. The gap 66 is set to a size that can absorb dimensional errors such as construction errors and manufacturing errors.

前カバー部44と後カバー部56は、図6に示すように、互いに対向する対向端部68A、68Bを有する。前カバー部44の対向端部68Aは、前カバー部44の下端部44Aの左端縁部70から便器本体12の後方を経由して前カバー部44の下端部44Aの右端縁部72に連なるように設けられる。後カバー部56の対向端部68Bは、後カバー部56の下端部56Aの左端縁部74から便器本体12の後方を経由して後カバー部56の下端部56Aの右端縁部76に連なるように設けられる。前カバー部44と後カバー部56は、各対向端部68A、68Bを跨ぐ箇所において、それぞれの外面、内面が面一となるように設けられる。なお、後カバー部56の対向端部68Bの上端位置には給水管用の管穴78が形成され、給水管は便器本体12の後部に形成される接続口80に接続される。   As shown in FIG. 6, the front cover portion 44 and the rear cover portion 56 have opposed end portions 68A and 68B that face each other. The facing end portion 68A of the front cover portion 44 is connected to the right end edge portion 72 of the lower end portion 44A of the front cover portion 44 through the rear end of the toilet body 12 from the left end edge portion 70 of the lower end portion 44A of the front cover portion 44. Is provided. The opposite end portion 68B of the rear cover portion 56 is connected to the right end edge portion 76 of the lower end portion 56A of the rear cover portion 56 from the left end edge portion 74 of the lower end portion 56A of the rear cover portion 56 via the rear of the toilet body 12. Is provided. The front cover portion 44 and the rear cover portion 56 are provided so that the outer surfaces and the inner surfaces thereof are flush with each other at a location straddling the opposing end portions 68A and 68B. A pipe hole 78 for a water supply pipe is formed at the upper end position of the opposed end portion 68B of the rear cover part 56, and the water supply pipe is connected to a connection port 80 formed at the rear part of the toilet body 12.

各対向端部68A、68Bは、一方の対向端部68Aの長手方向に沿って他方の対向端部68Bが延びるように設けられる。つまり、各対向端部68A、68Bは、それらの輪郭線が三次元的に揃うように設けられる。各対向端部68A、68Bの輪郭線は角部のない滑らかな線状に形成される。各対向端部68A、68Bの間に形成される前カバー部44と後カバー部56の境目69は、図5に示すように、便器本体12を正面視したときに、前カバー部44により隠れる位置に形成される。トイレ室への入室時は、通常、便器装置10を前方から見るが、そのときに境目69が隠れるため、すっきりとした印象を与えられる。なお、ここでの「正面視」とは、便器本体12の前面と向かい合う視点からみることをいう。本形態では、図4に示すように、便器本体12の開口中心点P1と前端12Dを通る仮想線をL1としたとき、便器本体12の前方において仮想線L1が通る位置から便器本体12をみることをいう。   Each opposing end 68A, 68B is provided such that the other opposing end 68B extends along the longitudinal direction of one opposing end 68A. That is, the opposing end portions 68A and 68B are provided so that their contour lines are three-dimensionally aligned. The outlines of the opposing end portions 68A and 68B are formed in a smooth line shape having no corners. The boundary 69 between the front cover portion 44 and the rear cover portion 56 formed between the opposing end portions 68A and 68B is hidden by the front cover portion 44 when the toilet body 12 is viewed from the front as shown in FIG. Formed in position. When entering the toilet room, the toilet device 10 is normally viewed from the front, but at that time, the boundary 69 is hidden, so that a clean impression is given. Here, “front view” means viewing from the viewpoint facing the front surface of the toilet body 12. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, when the imaginary line passing through the opening center point P1 and the front end 12D of the toilet main body 12 is L1, the toilet main body 12 is viewed from the position where the virtual line L1 passes in front of the toilet main body 12. That means.

前カバー部44は、図3(b)に示すように、便器本体12の前側において、下方に向かうにつれて便器本体12に近づくように傾斜して形成される。これにより、前カバー部44の下方に足引きスペース82が形成される。足引きスペース82にはユーザの脚部を入れられ、ユーザによっては着座姿勢のときに自然な体勢にし易くなるうえ、着座姿勢から立位姿勢に立ち上がり易くなる。   As shown in FIG. 3B, the front cover portion 44 is formed on the front side of the toilet main body 12 so as to be inclined so as to approach the toilet main body 12 as it goes downward. As a result, a foot space 82 is formed below the front cover portion 44. A leg portion of the user is put in the tow space 82, and it becomes easy for some users to have a natural posture in the sitting posture and to easily stand up from the sitting posture to the standing posture.

前カバー部44の下端部44Aは、便器本体12の前側において、便器本体12の前端部12Aより下側後方にずれた位置まで延びるように形成される。これにより、便器本体12の前端部12Aから汚水が垂れ落ちたとき、その床面60への直接の落下が前カバー部44により防止され、汚水の床面60との衝突に伴う前カバー部44外への汚水の飛び散りを抑えられる。   The lower end portion 44A of the front cover portion 44 is formed on the front side of the toilet main body 12 so as to extend to a position shifted downward and rearward from the front end portion 12A of the toilet main body 12. As a result, when sewage drips from the front end portion 12A of the toilet body 12, the front cover portion 44 prevents the sewage from falling directly on the floor surface 60, and the front cover portion 44 accompanying a collision with the sewage floor surface 60 is prevented. Spilling of sewage to the outside can be suppressed.

後カバー部56は、図2に示すように、その下端部から前方に突き出るつば部84が形成される。つば部84はベース部30の外周部上に載せられ、ねじ等の第2固定具86により固定される。   As shown in FIG. 2, the rear cover portion 56 is formed with a flange portion 84 that protrudes forward from the lower end portion thereof. The collar portion 84 is placed on the outer peripheral portion of the base portion 30 and is fixed by a second fixing tool 86 such as a screw.

図7(a)は便器本体12への取付用部材38の固定状態を示す平面断面図であり、図7(b)は図3(b)のA−A線断面図である。
取付用部材38は、前述のとおり、便座14を便器本体12に取り付けるためのものであり、便器本体12の上面部22上に載置される載置部88と、載置部88から後方に突き出る突出部90とを有する。これらは金属板等の板材により一体に構成される。取付用部材38はねじ等の第3固定具94により上面部22に固定される。
FIG. 7A is a plan sectional view showing a fixed state of the attachment member 38 to the toilet body 12, and FIG. 7B is a sectional view taken along line AA in FIG.
As described above, the attachment member 38 is for attaching the toilet seat 14 to the toilet main body 12. The mounting member 88 is placed on the upper surface portion 22 of the toilet main body 12, and the rear from the placement portion 88. And a protruding portion 90 that protrudes. These are integrally formed of a plate material such as a metal plate. The mounting member 38 is fixed to the upper surface portion 22 by a third fixing tool 94 such as a screw.

突出部90は、便器本体12の上面部22から後方にはみ出すように設けられる。突出部90は、上面部22の後端部22Aより横幅が小さい基端側部分90Aと、基端側部分90Aより更に横幅が小さい先端側部分90Bとを有する。基端側部分90Aの左右両横側の下部には、図3(b)、図7に示すように、後カバー部56を取り付けるためのカバー取付部96が設けられる。後カバー部56の上部の内面には前方に突き出るカバー固定部98が設けられる。カバー取付部96にはカバー固定部98が左右に重ね合わされ、カバー固定部98はカバー取付部96にねじ等の第4固定具100により固定される。   The protrusion 90 is provided so as to protrude rearward from the upper surface 22 of the toilet body 12. The protrusion 90 has a proximal end portion 90A having a lateral width smaller than the rear end portion 22A of the upper surface portion 22, and a distal end side portion 90B having a lateral width smaller than that of the proximal end portion 90A. As shown in FIGS. 3B and 7, a cover attachment portion 96 for attaching the rear cover portion 56 is provided at the lower portions on the left and right sides of the base end portion 90 </ b> A. A cover fixing portion 98 protruding forward is provided on the inner surface of the upper portion of the rear cover portion 56. A cover fixing portion 98 is superimposed on the left and right sides of the cover attaching portion 96, and the cover fixing portion 98 is fixed to the cover attaching portion 96 with a fourth fixing tool 100 such as a screw.

ここで、第2固定具86は、つば部84に形成される挿通孔(図示せず)に挿通され、ベース部30の外周部に形成されるねじ孔(図示せず)に螺合される。第4固定具100は、カバー固定部98に形成される挿通孔(図示せず)に挿通され、カバー取付部96に形成されるねじ孔(図示せず)に螺合される。後カバー部56は、各挿通孔に挿通される第2固定具86、第4固定具100のねじ孔への締め付けにより便器本体12に対して固定される。各挿通孔は各固定具86、100の軸部との間で隙間が空くように形成され、後カバー部56は各固定具86、100を用いた摩擦接合により固定される。よって、各固定具86、100の締め付けを緩めたとき、その隙間分だけ便器本体12に対して後カバー部56を位置調整できる。つまり、後カバー部56は便器本体12に対して位置調整可能に固定される。   Here, the second fixing tool 86 is inserted into an insertion hole (not shown) formed in the collar portion 84 and screwed into a screw hole (not shown) formed in the outer peripheral portion of the base portion 30. . The fourth fixture 100 is inserted into an insertion hole (not shown) formed in the cover fixing portion 98 and screwed into a screw hole (not shown) formed in the cover mounting portion 96. The rear cover portion 56 is fixed to the toilet body 12 by tightening the second fixing tool 86 and the fourth fixing tool 100 inserted into the insertion holes into the screw holes. Each insertion hole is formed so that there is a gap between the shafts of the fixtures 86 and 100, and the rear cover portion 56 is fixed by friction welding using the fixtures 86 and 100. Therefore, when the fastening of each of the fixtures 86 and 100 is loosened, the position of the rear cover portion 56 can be adjusted with respect to the toilet body 12 by the gap. That is, the rear cover portion 56 is fixed to the toilet body 12 so that the position can be adjusted.

ヒンジ機構40は、図3(b)、図7(a)に示すように、便器本体12に設けられる便器側ヒンジ部102と、便座14に設けられる便座側ヒンジ部104と、便器側ヒンジ部102と便座側ヒンジ部104を連結するヒンジ軸106とを備える。便器側ヒンジ部102は、取付用部材38の先端側部分90Bの両側部に取り付けられる。便座側ヒンジ部104は、便器側ヒンジ部102の両横側に配置され、着座部42の後内面に取り付けられる。便器側ヒンジ部102は、ヒンジ軸106が回転不能に保持され、便座側ヒンジ部104は、その内側に挿通されるヒンジ軸106が回転自在に保持される。以上のヒンジ機構40では、便器本体12に対して便座14がヒンジ軸106周りに回動可能に連結される。   As shown in FIGS. 3B and 7A, the hinge mechanism 40 includes a toilet-side hinge 102 provided on the toilet body 12, a toilet-side hinge 104 provided on the toilet seat 14, and a toilet-side hinge. 102 and a hinge shaft 106 that connects the toilet seat side hinge 104. The toilet-side hinge 102 is attached to both sides of the distal end portion 90B of the attachment member 38. The toilet seat side hinge 104 is disposed on both sides of the toilet side hinge 102 and is attached to the rear inner surface of the seat 42. The toilet shaft 102 has a hinge shaft 106 that is non-rotatable, and the toilet seat-side hinge portion 104 has a hinge shaft 106 that is inserted inside the hinge shaft 106 so as to be rotatable. In the hinge mechanism 40 described above, the toilet seat 14 is connected to the toilet body 12 so as to be rotatable around the hinge shaft 106.

ヒンジ軸106は、取付用部材38の突出部90と同様、便器本体12の上面部22から後方にはみ出す位置に配置される。かりに、上面部22上にヒンジ軸106が配置される場合、便座14が上面部22の上面全体を覆うため、ヒンジ軸106周りに便座14が回動したとき、ヒンジ軸106より後方で便座14が便器本体12に干渉し易くなり、便座14の回動動作の妨げとなる。この点、本形態ではヒンジ軸106が便器本体12の上面部22から後方にはみ出す位置に配置されるため、ヒンジ軸106周りに便座14が回動したときでも、便座14と便器本体12の干渉を抑え易くなる。   The hinge shaft 106 is disposed at a position that protrudes rearward from the upper surface portion 22 of the toilet body 12, similarly to the protruding portion 90 of the attachment member 38. When the hinge shaft 106 is disposed on the upper surface portion 22, the toilet seat 14 covers the entire upper surface of the upper surface portion 22, so that when the toilet seat 14 rotates around the hinge shaft 106, the toilet seat 14 is located behind the hinge shaft 106. This easily interferes with the toilet body 12 and hinders the rotation of the toilet seat 14. In this respect, in the present embodiment, the hinge shaft 106 is disposed at a position protruding rearward from the upper surface portion 22 of the toilet body 12, so that the toilet seat 14 and the toilet body 12 interfere even when the toilet seat 14 rotates around the hinge shaft 106. It becomes easy to suppress.

なお、ヒンジ機構40は、図示しないが、位置保持機構を有する。位置保持機構はフリーストップヒンジ構造である。フリーストップヒンジ構造は、便座14が開位置から閉位置に回転する方向を正方向としたとき、ばね等の付勢部材により正方向と逆方向に付勢する。便座14を開位置の任意の位置で停止させたとき、便座14には自重により正方向に回転力が作用する。このとき、フリーストップヒンジ構造は、自重による回転力に抗して、付勢部材の付勢力により便座14を停止させた状態に保持する。フリーストップヒンジ構造は、公知のため、その詳細は省略する。   The hinge mechanism 40 has a position holding mechanism (not shown). The position holding mechanism has a free stop hinge structure. When the direction in which the toilet seat 14 rotates from the open position to the closed position is the forward direction, the free stop hinge structure is urged in the opposite direction by the urging member such as a spring. When the toilet seat 14 is stopped at an arbitrary position of the open position, a rotational force acts on the toilet seat 14 in the positive direction due to its own weight. At this time, the free stop hinge structure holds the toilet seat 14 in a state of being stopped by the urging force of the urging member against the rotational force due to its own weight. Since the free stop hinge structure is publicly known, its details are omitted.

図8は、便座14が開位置にある状態を示す側面断面図である。
便座14は、図3(b)、図8に示すように、便器本体12上に着座部42が載置される閉位置(第1位置)と、閉位置から退避する開位置(第2位置)との間を移動可能である。前カバー部44は、便座14と一体に移動可能に設けられ、閉位置にあるときに便器本体12を前側、左右両横側から覆い、開位置にあるときに便器本体12を露出させる。なお、後カバー部56は、便座14と別体に設けられる。
FIG. 8 is a side sectional view showing a state in which the toilet seat 14 is in the open position.
As shown in FIGS. 3B and 8, the toilet seat 14 has a closed position (first position) where the seat portion 42 is placed on the toilet body 12 and an open position (second position) where the seat 14 is retracted from the closed position. ). The front cover portion 44 is provided so as to be movable integrally with the toilet seat 14, covers the toilet body 12 from the front side and the left and right sides when in the closed position, and exposes the toilet body 12 when in the open position. The rear cover portion 56 is provided separately from the toilet seat 14.

ベース部30の前端部30Aは、便座14が閉位置にあるとき、前カバー部44の下端部44Aの内周面との係合により、前カバー部44を含む便座14の位置を決める位置決め部108となる。ここで、位置決め部108は、便器本体12の前方に突き出るように円弧状に形成され、前カバー部44の下端部44Aは、その位置決め部108に対向する部分が位置決め部108に沿うように形成される。よって、前カバー部44の下端部44Aは位置決め部108に前方から係合可能であるとともに、位置決め部108に左右両側から係合可能に設けられる。これにより、前カバー部44の下端部44Aが位置決め部108に前方から係合されることにより、前カバー部44の前後方向の位置が決められ、位置決め部108に左右から係合されることにより、前カバー部44の左右方向の位置が決められる。   The front end portion 30A of the base portion 30 is a positioning portion that determines the position of the toilet seat 14 including the front cover portion 44 by engagement with the inner peripheral surface of the lower end portion 44A of the front cover portion 44 when the toilet seat 14 is in the closed position. 108. Here, the positioning portion 108 is formed in an arc shape so as to protrude forward of the toilet body 12, and the lower end portion 44 </ b> A of the front cover portion 44 is formed so that a portion facing the positioning portion 108 is along the positioning portion 108. Is done. Therefore, the lower end portion 44A of the front cover portion 44 can be engaged with the positioning portion 108 from the front, and can be engaged with the positioning portion 108 from both the left and right sides. As a result, the lower end portion 44A of the front cover portion 44 is engaged with the positioning portion 108 from the front, whereby the front cover portion 44 is positioned in the front-rear direction, and is engaged with the positioning portion 108 from the left and right. The position of the front cover portion 44 in the left-right direction is determined.

前カバー部44の下端部44Aの内周面には緩衝材110が装着される。緩衝材110はゴム等の弾性を有する軟質材料により構成される。緩衝材110は、便座14が閉位置にあるとき、ベース部30の位置決め部108と対向する箇所に装着される。便座14が開位置から閉位置に移動したとき、前カバー部44が緩衝材110を間に挟んで位置決め部108と係合し、緩衝材110は、その衝突による衝撃を緩和する。   A cushioning material 110 is attached to the inner peripheral surface of the lower end portion 44 </ b> A of the front cover portion 44. The buffer material 110 is made of a soft material having elasticity such as rubber. When the toilet seat 14 is in the closed position, the cushioning material 110 is mounted at a location facing the positioning portion 108 of the base portion 30. When the toilet seat 14 moves from the open position to the closed position, the front cover portion 44 engages with the positioning portion 108 with the cushioning material 110 interposed therebetween, and the cushioning material 110 reduces the impact caused by the collision.

着座部42の後部の内側には、着座部42が閉位置にあるとき、ヒンジ機構40を収容する収容空間112が設けられる。ヒンジ機構40は、着座部42が閉位置にあるとき、着座部42により前後左右及び上側から隠蔽され、便器装置10の外観において露出せずに視認できなくなる。   A housing space 112 for housing the hinge mechanism 40 when the seating portion 42 is in the closed position is provided inside the rear portion of the seating portion 42. When the seating portion 42 is in the closed position, the hinge mechanism 40 is concealed by the seating portion 42 from the front, rear, left, and right sides, and above, and is not visible in the appearance of the toilet device 10 without being exposed.

次に、便器装置10の施工方法の一例を説明する。
まず、便器本体12をトイレ室内に設置する(S10)。便器本体12の下端部にはベース部30が予め設けられる。便器本体12は、トイレ室の床面60上にベース部30を載置させたうえで、固定具によりベース部30が床面60に固定される。
Next, an example of the construction method of the toilet device 10 will be described.
First, the toilet bowl body 12 is installed in the toilet room (S10). A base portion 30 is provided in advance at the lower end of the toilet body 12. The toilet main body 12 has the base portion 30 placed on the floor surface 60 of the toilet room, and the base portion 30 is fixed to the floor surface 60 by a fixture.

便器本体12にヒンジ機構40を介して便座14を取り付ける(S12)。これにより、便器本体12に対する前カバー部44の対向端部68Aの位置が定まる。そして、後カバー部56を便器本体12に対して固定する(S14)。後カバー部56は、便器本体12に対して第2固定具86、第4固定具100の締め付けを緩めた状態で予め仮固定しておく。そして、前カバー部44の対向端部68Aに対して後カバー部56の対向端部68Bの位置を合わせるように後カバー部56を位置調整したうえで、第2固定具86、第4固定具100を締め付けて後カバー部56を固定する。前カバー部44と後カバー部56の対向端部68A、68Bは、それらの輪郭線が三次元的に揃うように位置を合わせる。   The toilet seat 14 is attached to the toilet bowl body 12 via the hinge mechanism 40 (S12). Thereby, the position of the opposing end portion 68A of the front cover portion 44 with respect to the toilet body 12 is determined. And the rear cover part 56 is fixed with respect to the toilet bowl main body 12 (S14). The rear cover part 56 is temporarily fixed to the toilet body 12 in a state where the second fixing tool 86 and the fourth fixing tool 100 are loosened. And after adjusting the position of the back cover part 56 so that the position of the opposing end part 68B of the rear cover part 56 may be aligned with the opposing end part 68A of the front cover part 44, the second fixing tool 86 and the fourth fixing tool. The rear cover 56 is fixed by tightening 100. The facing end portions 68A and 68B of the front cover portion 44 and the rear cover portion 56 are aligned so that their contour lines are three-dimensionally aligned.

このように、後カバー部56は、便器本体12に対して位置調整可能に固定されるため、便器装置10の施工時や施工後において、前カバー部44の対向端部68Aと後カバー部56の対向端部68Bを位置合せし易くなる。よって、各対向端部68A、68Bが三次元的に複雑な形状でも、これらの見栄えがよくなるように調整し易くなる。   As described above, the rear cover portion 56 is fixed to the toilet body 12 so that the position of the toilet cover body 12 can be adjusted. It becomes easy to align the opposite end 68B of the. Therefore, even if each of the facing end portions 68A and 68B is a three-dimensionally complicated shape, it is easy to adjust the facing end portions 68A and 68B so as to improve their appearance.

以上の便器装置10の作用効果を説明する。
便鉢16に放尿して尿等の汚水が飛び散ると、便器本体12と着座部42の間の境界部64から外側に水滴状又は霧状の汚水が流出する場合がある。本形態では着座部42の外周部から垂下するように前カバー部44や後カバー部56が設けられるため、便器本体12と着座部42の間から汚水が流出した場合、その汚水の飛散が前カバー部44や後カバー部56により遮られる。
The operational effects of the toilet device 10 will be described.
When urine is discharged into the toilet bowl 16 and sewage such as urine is scattered, water droplets or mist-like sewage may flow out from the boundary 64 between the toilet body 12 and the seat 42. In this embodiment, since the front cover part 44 and the rear cover part 56 are provided so as to hang down from the outer peripheral part of the seating part 42, when the sewage flows out between the toilet body 12 and the seating part 42, the sewage splashes forward. It is blocked by the cover part 44 and the rear cover part 56.

また、前カバー部44は、便器本体12を前側及び横側から覆うため、便器本体12の開口中心点P1周りの広い範囲での汚水の飛散が前カバー部44により遮られる。特に、前カバー部44と後カバー部56は、便器本体12を前後左右から囲んで覆うため、非常に広い範囲での汚水の飛散が前カバー部44及び後カバー部56により遮られる。よって、汚水による衣類等の汚れを効果的に抑えられる。   Moreover, since the front cover part 44 covers the toilet body 12 from the front side and the lateral side, scattering of sewage in a wide range around the opening center point P1 of the toilet body 12 is blocked by the front cover part 44. In particular, since the front cover part 44 and the rear cover part 56 surround and cover the toilet main body 12 from front, rear, left and right, scattering of sewage in a very wide range is blocked by the front cover part 44 and the rear cover part 56. Therefore, dirt of clothes etc. by dirty water can be controlled effectively.

また、前カバー部44と後カバー部56は、便器本体12を前後左右から囲んで覆う。よって、便器本体12と着座部42の間から汚水が流出した場合、便器本体12から離れた箇所にあるトイレ室の側壁面や床面60までの汚水の飛散が遮られ、その汚水により汚れる範囲を前カバー部44や後カバー部56の内側にとどめることができる。これにより、清掃時の清掃範囲を前カバー部44等の内側に集中させて、清掃時の作業性が良好になるうえ、トイレ室全体を衛生的に保ち易くなる。   Further, the front cover portion 44 and the rear cover portion 56 surround and cover the toilet body 12 from front, rear, left and right. Therefore, when sewage flows out from between the toilet body 12 and the seating part 42, the sewage splashes up to the side wall surface and the floor surface 60 of the toilet room at a location away from the toilet body 12 is blocked and dirty by the sewage. Can be kept inside the front cover portion 44 and the rear cover portion 56. Thereby, the cleaning range at the time of cleaning is concentrated inside the front cover portion 44 and the like, so that the workability at the time of cleaning is improved and the entire toilet room is easily kept hygienic.

また、ユーザは、通常、衣類を足首側に下ろして着座部42に座り、大小便後に衣類を元に戻すが、前カバー部44の下端位置が高いと、衣類を戻すとき等に前カバー部44の下端部44Aに衣類が引っかかってしまう。この点、本形態に係る前カバー部44は、便器本体12の上端部12Bから下部12Cにかけての広い範囲を覆っており、前カバー部44と床面60の間の隙間を狭くするように設計している。従って、その隙間にユーザの衣類や脚部が入り込み難くなり、前カバー部44への衣類等の引っかかりを防止でき、汚水による衣類等の汚れを抑えるうえでの使い勝手が良好になる。   In addition, the user usually sits down on the seat 42 with the garment lowered to the ankle side, and puts the garment back after urination, but if the lower end position of the front cover part 44 is high, The clothes are caught on the lower end 44 </ b> A of 44. In this regard, the front cover portion 44 according to the present embodiment covers a wide range from the upper end portion 12B to the lower portion 12C of the toilet body 12, and is designed to narrow the gap between the front cover portion 44 and the floor surface 60. doing. Therefore, it becomes difficult for the user's clothing and legs to enter the gap, and the clothing and the like can be prevented from being caught on the front cover portion 44, and the usability for suppressing the contamination of the clothing and the like due to dirty water is improved.

また、便器本体12と着座部42の間の境界部64から流出した汚水が便器本体12の外面部や前カバー部44の内面部を伝わり落ちる場合もある。この点、本形態の前カバー部44は、前カバー部44と床面60の間の隙間に衣類等が入り込み難くなるため、便器本体12の外面部と衣類等の接触を防止できるうえ、前カバー部44の内面部から垂れ落ちる汚水と衣類等の接触を防止でき、汚水による衣類等の汚れを効果的に抑えられる。   In addition, the sewage flowing out from the boundary portion 64 between the toilet body 12 and the seating portion 42 may be transmitted down the outer surface portion of the toilet body 12 and the inner surface portion of the front cover portion 44. In this respect, the front cover portion 44 of the present embodiment makes it difficult for clothes or the like to enter the gap between the front cover portion 44 and the floor surface 60, so that contact between the outer surface portion of the toilet body 12 and the clothing can be prevented. Contact between the sewage dripping from the inner surface of the cover part 44 and the clothes can be prevented, and the dirt of the garments due to the sewage can be effectively suppressed.

さらに、前カバー部44は、便器本体12の上端部12Bから床面60近傍にかけての広い範囲を覆うため、前カバー部44と床面60の間に衣類等を入れるのが困難となり、前カバー部44への衣類等の引っかかりを更に効果的に防止できる。また、便器本体12の外面部と衣類等の接触をさらに防止できるうえ、前カバー部44の内面部から垂れ落ちる汚水と衣類等の接触をさらに防止できる。さらには、前カバー部44の内側にある床面60には前カバー部44の内面部から垂れ落ちる汚水が付着し得る。この点、本形態では、前カバー部44と床面60の間に衣類等を入れるのが困難なため、汚水が付着した床面60と衣類等の接触も防止できる。   Further, since the front cover portion 44 covers a wide range from the upper end portion 12B of the toilet body 12 to the vicinity of the floor surface 60, it becomes difficult to put clothing or the like between the front cover portion 44 and the floor surface 60. It is possible to more effectively prevent the clothes 44 from being caught on the portion 44. Further, contact between the outer surface portion of the toilet body 12 and clothing can be further prevented, and contact between the sewage dripping from the inner surface portion of the front cover portion 44 and clothing can be further prevented. Furthermore, the sewage dripping from the inner surface portion of the front cover portion 44 may adhere to the floor surface 60 inside the front cover portion 44. In this respect, in this embodiment, since it is difficult to put clothing or the like between the front cover portion 44 and the floor surface 60, contact between the floor surface 60 to which dirty water adheres and clothing or the like can also be prevented.

また、前カバー部44は便器本体12を前側及び左右両横側から覆うため、便器装置10を前方から見たときに、その外観は便器本体12ではなく前カバー部44を含む便座14により構成される。よって、便器装置10全体のデザインを設計するうえで、便器本体12の形状にとらわれずに、前カバー部44を含む便座14の形状によりデザイン設計をでき、その自由度が高まる。   Further, since the front cover portion 44 covers the toilet body 12 from the front side and the left and right sides, when the toilet device 10 is viewed from the front, the appearance is constituted by the toilet seat 14 including the front cover portion 44 instead of the toilet body main body 12. Is done. Therefore, when designing the design of the entire toilet device 10, the design can be performed by the shape of the toilet seat 14 including the front cover portion 44 without being restricted by the shape of the toilet body 12, and the degree of freedom is increased.

また、前カバー部44には緩衝材110が設けられるため、前カバー部44とベース部30とが衝突したときの衝撃を緩衝材110により吸収できる。また、前カバー部44は、ベース部30の位置決め部108との係合により閉位置に位置決めされる。ここで、両者が当たるときに音が発生するが、両者が当たるときの衝撃を緩衝材110により吸収できるため、その音の大きさを低減できる。   Further, since the front cover portion 44 is provided with the buffer material 110, the shock when the front cover portion 44 and the base portion 30 collide can be absorbed by the buffer material 110. Further, the front cover portion 44 is positioned at the closed position by engagement with the positioning portion 108 of the base portion 30. Here, a sound is generated when the two hit, but since the shock when the both hit can be absorbed by the buffer material 110, the volume of the sound can be reduced.

また、前カバー部44との係合により前カバー部44の位置を決める位置決め部108が設けられるため、前カバー部44が閉位置にあるときに定位置に保持し易くなる。このため、前カバー部44が閉位置にあるとき、前カバー部44の対向端部68Aと後カバー部56の対向端部68Bとの輪郭線を揃え易くなり、各対向端部68A、68Bが三次元的に複雑な形状でも、これらの見栄えのよい定位置に前カバー部44を保持し易くなる。なお、位置決め部108による位置決めは、たとえば、便器装置10の施工時に、前カバー部44の前後左右での位置を調整するために用いられる。また、この他にも、前カバー部44を含む便座14を開位置から閉位置に移動させるときにも用いられる。   Moreover, since the positioning part 108 which determines the position of the front cover part 44 by engagement with the front cover part 44 is provided, it becomes easy to hold | maintain at a fixed position when the front cover part 44 exists in a closed position. For this reason, when the front cover portion 44 is in the closed position, it becomes easy to align the contour lines of the opposed end portion 68A of the front cover portion 44 and the opposed end portion 68B of the rear cover portion 56, and each opposed end portion 68A, 68B Even in a three-dimensionally complicated shape, it becomes easy to hold the front cover portion 44 in a fixed position with good appearance. The positioning by the positioning unit 108 is used, for example, to adjust the front / rear and left / right positions of the front cover unit 44 during construction of the toilet device 10. In addition to this, it is also used when the toilet seat 14 including the front cover portion 44 is moved from the open position to the closed position.

また、ヒンジ機構40は便座14により隠蔽されるため、ヒンジ機構40を構成する部品間の隙間にホコリ、汚れ等の異物が溜まり難くなり、清掃時の作業性が良好になる。また、ヒンジ機構40が隠れるため、便器装置10の外観においてすっきりとした印象を与えられる。   Further, since the hinge mechanism 40 is concealed by the toilet seat 14, foreign matters such as dust and dirt are not easily accumulated in the gaps between the parts constituting the hinge mechanism 40, and the workability during cleaning is improved. Moreover, since the hinge mechanism 40 is hidden, a clean impression is given to the appearance of the toilet device 10.

また、前カバー部44は着座部42と一体に設けられるため、前カバー部44とともに着座部42を閉位置から開位置に移動可能となる。よって、便器本体12の汚れの清掃時、便座14全体を閉位置から開位置に移動させるだけで、前カバー部44による便器本体12の被覆範囲や上面部22を露出させることができ、清掃作業時の作業性が良好になる。   Further, since the front cover portion 44 is provided integrally with the seating portion 42, the seating portion 42 can be moved from the closed position to the open position together with the front cover portion 44. Therefore, at the time of cleaning the toilet body 12, only the entire toilet seat 14 is moved from the closed position to the open position, so that the covering range of the toilet body 12 by the front cover portion 44 and the upper surface portion 22 can be exposed. Workability at the time becomes better.

FIG.

前カバー部44は、便器本体12の全周に亘る範囲を前後左右から囲んで覆う。本実施形態にて前カバー部44が便器本体12を覆う範囲は、第1実施形態にて前カバー部44と後カバー部56が便器本体12を覆う範囲と同様である。   The front cover part 44 surrounds and covers a range over the entire circumference of the toilet body 12 from front, rear, left and right. The range in which the front cover 44 covers the toilet body 12 in the present embodiment is the same as the range in which the front cover 44 and the rear cover 56 cover the toilet body 12 in the first embodiment.

排水通路部114には第1トラップ部116が設けられる。第1トラップ部116には、排水通路部114の通水方向の途中位置から下降する第1上流側下降流路118と、第1上流側下降流路118から上昇する第1上昇流路120と、第1上昇流路120から下降する第1下流側下降流路122とが連続して形成される。第1トラップ部116では、第1上流側下降流路118と第1上昇流路120との内部に第1封水124が貯溜され、排水通路部114の通水方向での空気の流れが第1封水124により遮断される。   A first trap portion 116 is provided in the drainage passage portion 114. The first trap part 116 includes a first upstream descending flow path 118 that descends from a midway position in the water passage direction of the drainage passage part 114, and a first ascending flow path 120 that rises from the first upstream descending path 118. The first downstream descending flow path 122 descending from the first ascending flow path 120 is continuously formed. In the first trap part 116, the first sealing water 124 is stored inside the first upstream descending flow path 118 and the first ascending flow path 120, and the air flow in the water passage direction of the drainage passage part 114 is the first. It is blocked by one sealing water 124.

便鉢16の上端内周部にはオーバーフロー口126が形成される。オーバーフロー口126と排水通路部114の第1下流側下降流路122とは迂回通路部128により連通される。迂回通路部128には第2トラップ部130が設けられる。第2トラップ部130には、迂回通路部128の通水方向の途中位置から下降する第2上流側下降流路132と、第2上流側下降流路132から上昇する第2上昇流路134と、第2上昇流路134から下降する第2下流側下降流路136とが連続して形成される。第2トラップ部130では、第2上流側下降流路132と第2上昇流路134との内部には第2封水138が貯溜され、迂回通路部128の通水方向での空気の流れが第2封水138により遮断される。   An overflow port 126 is formed in the inner periphery of the upper end of the toilet bowl 16. The overflow port 126 and the first downstream descending flow path 122 of the drainage passage portion 114 are communicated with each other by a bypass passage portion 128. A second trap portion 130 is provided in the bypass passage portion 128. The second trap section 130 includes a second upstream descending flow path 132 that descends from a midway position in the water flow direction of the bypass passage section 128, and a second ascending flow path 134 that rises from the second upstream descending flow path 132.

It is blocked by the second sealing water 138.

以上の便器装置10の作用効果を説明する。
本形態に係る便器装置10では、便器本体12と着座部42の間の境界部64を塞ぐように接合されるため、その境界部64を通しての汚水の流出が遮られる。ここで、境界部64での接着不良等により境界部64から汚水が流出した場合でも、第1実施形態と同様、前カバー部44によって汚水の飛散が遮られるうえ、便器本体12の外面部と衣類等との接触を防止できる。よって、汚水による衣類等の汚れを効果的に抑えられる。
The operational effects of the toilet device 10 will be described.
In the toilet device 10 according to the present embodiment, since joining is performed so as to block the boundary portion 64 between the toilet body 12 and the seating portion 42, the outflow of sewage through the boundary portion 64 is blocked. Here, even when sewage flows out of the boundary part 64 due to poor adhesion at the boundary part 64, the front cover part 44 blocks the scattering of sewage, as in the first embodiment, and the outer surface part of the toilet body 12 Contact with clothing can be prevented. Therefore, dirt of clothes etc. by dirty water can be controlled effectively.

また、本形態に係る便器装置10でも、前カバー部44と床面60の間の隙間が狭くなるように設計しているため、その隙間にユーザの衣類等が入り込みにくくなり、前カバー部44への衣類等の引っかかりを防止でき、使い勝手が良好になる。   Further, the toilet device 10 according to the present embodiment is also designed so that the gap between the front cover portion 44 and the floor surface 60 is narrowed, so that it becomes difficult for the user's clothing or the like to enter the gap, and the front cover portion 44. It is possible to prevent the clothes from being caught on the skin and the usability is improved.

排水通路部114の詰まりにより汚水が溢れると、便座14の開口18を通して流出する汚水によりユーザの臀部が濡れかねない。この点、本形態ではオーバーフロー口126が形成されるため、汚水が溢れたときでも迂回通路部128を通して汚水を下水路に流せ、汚水の溢れを防止できる。   If the sewage overflows due to the clogging of the drainage passage part 114, the sewage flowing out through the opening 18 of the toilet seat 14 may wet the user's buttocks. In this respect, since the overflow port 126 is formed in this embodiment, even when the sewage overflows, the sewage can flow into the sewer through the bypass passage 128, and the sewage can be prevented from overflowing.

また、便器本体12に便座14が一体化されるため、便座14を開閉できなくなる。よって、立位姿勢での男性の放尿による便座14の汚れを防ぐため、着座姿勢での放尿を男性ユーザにうながせるようになり、便器本体12の汚れを防止できる。   Moreover, since the toilet seat 14 is integrated with the toilet body 12, the toilet seat 14 cannot be opened and closed. Therefore, since the toilet seat 14 is prevented from being soiled by urination of the male in the standing posture, the urination in the sitting posture can be prompted to the male user, and the toilet body 12 can be prevented from being soiled.

[第3の実施の形態]
図11(a)は第3実施形態に係る便器装置10の外観を示す側面図であり、図11(b)は側面断面図であり、図12は便座14が開位置にある状態を示す側面断面図である。
第1実施形態では前カバー部44が便座14の着座部42と一体に設けた例を説明した。本実施形態に係る前カバー部44は、便座14の着座部42と分離して別体に構成される。前カバー部44は、便器本体12のベース部30にねじ等の固定具(図示せず)により固定される。前カバー部44は、便器本体12の全周に亘る範囲を前後左右から囲んで覆う。
[Third Embodiment]
FIG. 11A is a side view showing the appearance of the toilet device 10 according to the third embodiment, FIG. 11B is a side sectional view, and FIG. 12 is a side view showing a state in which the toilet seat 14 is in the open position. It is sectional drawing.
In the first embodiment, the example in which the front cover portion 44 is provided integrally with the seating portion 42 of the toilet seat 14 has been described. The front cover portion 44 according to the present embodiment is configured separately from the seat portion 42 of the toilet seat 14. The front cover part 44 is fixed to the base part 30 of the toilet body 12 by a fixing tool (not shown) such as a screw. The front cover part 44 surrounds and covers a range over the entire circumference of the toilet body 12 from front, rear, left and right.

前カバー部44の上端辺部44Bは、便器本体12の上面部22の上面より高位置に設けられる。便座14は、便器本体12の上面部22上に載置される閉位置にあるとき、前カバー部44との間での隙間がなくなるように、便器本体12の前側、左右両横側において、前カバー部44の上端辺部44Bに載せられる。また、前カバー部44の後部には、便座14がヒンジ機構40により開閉するときに、前カバー部44との干渉を避けるための隙間142が設けられる。   The upper end side portion 44 </ b> B of the front cover portion 44 is provided at a higher position than the upper surface of the upper surface portion 22 of the toilet body 12. When the toilet seat 14 is in the closed position where it is placed on the upper surface portion 22 of the toilet body 12, so that there is no gap between the toilet seat 14 and the front cover portion 44, It is placed on the upper end side 44 </ b> B of the front cover 44. In addition, a gap 142 is provided at the rear portion of the front cover portion 44 to avoid interference with the front cover portion 44 when the toilet seat 14 is opened and closed by the hinge mechanism 40.

なお、便座14の着座部42と前カバー部44との間での隙間をなくすため、前カバー部44の上端辺部44Bを便器本体12の上面部22より高位置に設ける代わりに、便座14の着座部42の外周部から垂下する垂下部を設けてもよい。この場合、前カバー部44の上端辺部44Bは、便器本体12の上面部22の上面と同じ高さ又は低位置に設けられる。また、便座14の垂下部は、便座14と前カバー部44との間での隙間がなくなるように、便器本体12の前側、左右両横側において、前カバー部44の上端辺部44Bに載せられる。   In order to eliminate a gap between the seating portion 42 of the toilet seat 14 and the front cover portion 44, instead of providing the upper end side portion 44B of the front cover portion 44 at a higher position than the upper surface portion 22 of the toilet body 12, the toilet seat 14 A hanging portion that hangs down from the outer peripheral portion of the seating portion 42 may be provided. In this case, the upper end side portion 44 </ b> B of the front cover portion 44 is provided at the same height or low position as the upper surface of the upper surface portion 22 of the toilet body 12. Further, the hanging portion of the toilet seat 14 is placed on the upper end side portion 44B of the front cover portion 44 on the front side and both the left and right sides of the toilet body 12 so that there is no gap between the toilet seat 14 and the front cover portion 44. It is done.

以上の第1〜第3実施形態に係る発明を一般化すると、便器装置10は、着座部42の外周部から垂下するように設けられ、便器本体12の上端部12Bから下部12Cにかけての範囲を少なくとも覆うカバー体140を備えるという技術的思想が導かれる。このカバー体140とは、第1実施形態では前カバー部44と後カバー部56が対応し、第2実施形態、第3実施形態では前カバー部44が対応する。第1実施形態では、第1カバー部としての前カバー部44と第2カバー部としての後カバー部56によりカバー体140が構成される。   When the invention according to the first to third embodiments is generalized, the toilet device 10 is provided so as to hang from the outer peripheral portion of the seating portion 42, and has a range from the upper end portion 12B to the lower portion 12C of the toilet body 12. The technical idea of providing at least a cover body 140 to be covered is guided. The cover body 140 corresponds to the front cover portion 44 and the rear cover portion 56 in the first embodiment, and corresponds to the front cover portion 44 in the second embodiment and the third embodiment. In the first embodiment, the cover body 140 is configured by the front cover portion 44 as the first cover portion and the rear cover portion 56 as the second cover portion.

また、別の観点からは、便器装置10は、着座部42の外周部から垂下するように設けられ、便器本体12を前側及び横側から覆うカバー体140を備えるという技術的思想が導かれる。このカバー体140とは、第1実施形態では前カバー部44と後カバー部56が対応し、第2実施形態、第3実施形態では前カバー部44が対応する。   Further, from another viewpoint, the technical idea that the toilet device 10 is provided so as to hang down from the outer peripheral portion of the seating portion 42 and includes a cover body 140 that covers the toilet body 12 from the front side and the lateral side is derived. The cover body 140 corresponds to the front cover portion 44 and the rear cover portion 56 in the first embodiment, and corresponds to the front cover portion 44 in the second embodiment and the third embodiment.

ここで、単一の前カバー部44により便器本体12を前後左右から囲んで覆う場合であって、便座14と一体に前カバー部44を設ける場合を仮定する。このとき、便座14とともに前カバー部44が一体に移動すると、前カバー部44が便器本体12と干渉し易くなってしまう。この点、第1実施形態のように、分離して設けられる前カバー部44と後カバー部56により便器本体12を前後左右から囲んで覆う場合、便座14とともに前カバー部44が一体に移動しても、前カバー部44が便器本体12と干渉し難くなり、便座14を開閉させ易くなる。   Here, it is assumed that the toilet body 12 is surrounded by the single front cover portion 44 from the front, rear, left and right, and the front cover portion 44 is provided integrally with the toilet seat 14. At this time, if the front cover 44 moves together with the toilet seat 14, the front cover 44 easily interferes with the toilet body 12. In this regard, as in the first embodiment, when the toilet body 12 is enclosed by the front cover portion 44 and the rear cover portion 56 provided separately from each other from the front, rear, left, and right, the front cover portion 44 moves together with the toilet seat 14. Even so, the front cover portion 44 is less likely to interfere with the toilet body 12, and the toilet seat 14 can be easily opened and closed.

カバー体140は、便器本体12の上端部12Bから床面60近傍にかけての範囲を覆う例を説明したが、便器本体12の上端部12Bから下側にかけての範囲を少なくとも部分的に覆えばよい。たとえば、カバー体140は、便器本体12の上部のみを覆ってもよい。また、別の観点からは、前カバー部44や後カバー部56は、便器本体12の上端部12Bから下端部近傍にかけての範囲を覆うように設けると好ましい。ここでの下端部「近傍」とは、便器本体12の上端から下端までの高さ寸法をH[m]としたとき、便器本体12の上端から少なくとも0.9×Hの範囲を覆う趣旨である。 Although the cover body 140 demonstrated the example which covers the range from the upper end part 12B of the toilet bowl main body 12 to the floor surface 60 vicinity, what is necessary is just to cover the range from the upper end part 12B of the toilet bowl main body 12 to the lower side at least partially. For example, the cover body 140 may cover only the upper part of the toilet body 12. From another viewpoint, the front cover part 44 and the rear cover part 56 are preferably provided so as to cover a range from the upper end part 12B of the toilet body 12 to the vicinity of the lower end part. Here, the lower end “near” covers at least 0.9 × H 1 from the upper end of the toilet body 12 when the height dimension from the upper end to the lower end of the toilet body 12 is H 1 [m]. It is the purpose.

カバー体140は、便器本体12の全周に亘る範囲を前後左右から囲んで覆う例を説明したが、便器本体12を少なくとも前側及び横側から覆えばよい。このとき、カバー体140は、便器本体12を左右両横側から覆ってもよいし、一方の横側からのみ覆ってもよい。また、便器本体12を横側から覆ううえでは、便器本体12の前端部12Aから後部にかけての範囲を横側から覆ってもよいし、便器本体12の前部のみを横側から覆ってもよい。   Although the cover body 140 demonstrated the example which covers and covers the range over the perimeter of the toilet main body 12 from front, back, left, and right, the toilet main body 12 may be covered at least from the front side and the side. At this time, the cover body 140 may cover the toilet body 12 from the left and right sides, or from only one side. Moreover, when covering the toilet bowl main body 12 from the side, the range from the front end part 12A of the toilet bowl 12 to the rear part may be covered from the side, or only the front part of the toilet bowl 12 may be covered from the side. .

以上、実施の形態に基づき本発明を説明したが、実施の形態は、本発明の原理、応用を示すにすぎない。また、実施の形態には、請求の範囲に規定された本発明の思想を逸脱しない範囲において、多くの変形例や配置の変更が可能である。   As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated based on embodiment, embodiment only shows the principle and application of this invention. In the embodiment, many modifications and arrangements can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention defined in the claims.

便器装置10は、トイレ室の床面60上に便器本体12が設置される床置き式大便器として構成される例を説明したが、トイレ室の側壁面に設置される壁置き式大便器として構成されてもよい。   Although the toilet device 10 demonstrated the example comprised as a floor-standing type toilet where the toilet main body 12 was installed on the floor surface 60 of a toilet room, as a wall-mounted type toilet installed in the side wall surface of a toilet room It may be configured.

位置決め部108は、便器本体12の下端部に設けられたベース部30の前端部30Aである例を説明した。位置決め部108は、カバー体が閉位置にあるときに、カバー体と係合することにより、カバー体の位置を決められればよく、その設けられる位置はベース部30の前端部30Aに限られない。また、位置決め部108は、便器本体12の一部であってもよいし、便器本体12とは別部材でもよい。   The positioning part 108 demonstrated the example which is 30A of front ends of the base part 30 provided in the lower end part of the toilet bowl main body 12. FIG. The positioning portion 108 only needs to determine the position of the cover body by engaging the cover body when the cover body is in the closed position, and the position provided is not limited to the front end portion 30 </ b> A of the base portion 30. . Further, the positioning unit 108 may be a part of the toilet main body 12 or may be a separate member from the toilet main body 12.

緩衝材110は、前カバー部44の下端部44Aの内周面に装着される例を説明した。緩衝材110は、カバー体が変位して、カバー体の下側又は内側に配置される物体とカバー体とが衝突するときに、そのカバー体と物体の間に挟まる位置に装着されていればよい。ここでの物体とは、第1実施形態では、前カバー部44の内側に配置される便器本体12のベース部30が該当するが、この他にも、便器本体12のベース部30以外の部位や、前カバー部44の下側に配置されるトイレ室の床面60等でもよい。また、緩衝材110の装着位置は前カバー部44である例を説明したが、前カバー部44と衝突し得る物体であるベース部30、便器本体12、床面60等に装着されてもよい。   The example in which the cushioning material 110 is mounted on the inner peripheral surface of the lower end portion 44A of the front cover portion 44 has been described. If the cover 110 is displaced and the object disposed on the lower side or inside of the cover collides with the cover body, the cushioning material 110 is mounted at a position sandwiched between the cover body and the object. Good. The object here corresponds to the base portion 30 of the toilet main body 12 disposed inside the front cover portion 44 in the first embodiment, but in addition to this, a part other than the base portion 30 of the toilet main body 12 Or the floor surface 60 of the toilet room etc. which are arrange | positioned under the front cover part 44 may be sufficient. In addition, although the example in which the mounting position of the cushioning material 110 is the front cover unit 44 has been described, the cushioning material 110 may be mounted on the base unit 30, the toilet body 12, the floor surface 60, or the like that can collide with the front cover unit 44. .

ヒンジ機構40は、着座部42が閉位置にあるとき、着座部42により隠蔽される例を説明したが、閉位置にあるときに露出するように構成されてもよい。また、ヒンジ機構40は、便器本体12の上面部22の延出部26、つまり、便器本体12の後方に設置される例を説明したが、便器本体12の側方、前方に設置されてもよい。   The hinge mechanism 40 has been described as being hidden by the seat 42 when the seat 42 is in the closed position, but may be configured to be exposed when in the closed position. Moreover, although the hinge mechanism 40 demonstrated the example installed in the extension part 26 of the upper surface part 22 of the toilet bowl main body 12, ie, the back of the toilet bowl main body 12, even if installed in the side of the toilet bowl main body 12, and the front. Good.

ヒンジ機構40が有する位置保持機構はフリーストップヒンジ構造を例に説明したが、位置保持機構はこれに限られない。この他の例として、位置保持機構は、便器側ヒンジ部102と便座側ヒンジ部104の角度を保持可能なロック機構でもよい。このロック機構では、押しボタン等の操作部の操作により、角度を保持するロック状態と、ロック状態を解除する解除状態とを切り替え可能である。   The position holding mechanism of the hinge mechanism 40 has been described by taking a free stop hinge structure as an example, but the position holding mechanism is not limited to this. As another example, the position holding mechanism may be a lock mechanism that can hold the angle between the toilet side hinge 102 and the toilet seat side hinge 104. In this lock mechanism, it is possible to switch between a locked state in which an angle is maintained and a released state in which the locked state is released by operating an operation unit such as a push button.

また、ヒンジ機構40は位置保持機構を含んだが、位置保持機構はヒンジ機構40と別体に設けられてもよい。この場合、位置保持機構は、たとえば、ストッパにより構成されてもよい。ストッパは、押しボタン等の操作部の操作により係合位置と退避位置の間を移動可能である。ストッパは、係合位置にあるとき、便座14と係合して便座14の自重による回転力に抗して便座14を開位置に保持する。また、ストッパは、退避位置にあるとき便座14と係合不能となり、便座14が開位置と閉位置との間を移動自在となる。いずれにしても、位置保持機構は、便座14の自重による回転力に抗して便座14を開位置に停止させた状態で保持できればよい。   Further, although the hinge mechanism 40 includes a position holding mechanism, the position holding mechanism may be provided separately from the hinge mechanism 40. In this case, the position holding mechanism may be configured by a stopper, for example. The stopper can be moved between the engagement position and the retracted position by operating an operation unit such as a push button. When the stopper is in the engaged position, it engages with the toilet seat 14 and holds the toilet seat 14 in the open position against the rotational force caused by the weight of the toilet seat 14. Further, the stopper cannot be engaged with the toilet seat 14 when in the retracted position, and the toilet seat 14 can move between the open position and the closed position. In any case, the position holding mechanism only needs to be able to hold the toilet seat 14 in the state where it is stopped at the open position against the rotational force caused by the weight of the toilet seat 14.

また、ヒンジ機構40は位置保持機構の代わりに、便座14の開位置から閉位置に向けての回動動作に対して制動力を与えるスローダウン機構を含んでもよい。スローダウン機構は、たとえば、公知のロータリーダンパやトルクヒンジ等により構成される。ロータリーダンパは、ヒンジ軸106に対してオイル等による粘性抵抗を作用させて制動力を与える。トルクヒンジは、ヒンジ軸106に対してバネ等によるトルクを作用させて制動力を与える。便座14の着座部42が前カバー部44と一体に設けられる場合、その全重量が比較的に重くなり、開位置から閉位置に移動するときの速度が高まり易くなる。この点、スローダウン機構があれば、開位置から閉位置にゆっくりと降ろせ、閉位置に止まるときの衝撃や音を小さくできる。   Further, the hinge mechanism 40 may include a slow-down mechanism that applies a braking force to the rotation operation from the open position of the toilet seat 14 toward the closed position, instead of the position holding mechanism. The slow-down mechanism is configured by, for example, a known rotary damper or torque hinge. The rotary damper applies a braking force by applying a viscous resistance by oil or the like to the hinge shaft 106. The torque hinge applies a braking force by applying a torque by a spring or the like to the hinge shaft 106. When the seat portion 42 of the toilet seat 14 is provided integrally with the front cover portion 44, the total weight thereof is relatively heavy, and the speed when moving from the open position to the closed position is likely to increase. In this regard, if there is a slow-down mechanism, it can be slowly lowered from the open position to the closed position, and the impact and sound when stopping at the closed position can be reduced.

便器装置10は、後カバー部56に給水管用の管穴78が形成される例を説明した。排水管や給水管がトイレ室の側壁面から引き出される場合、給水管用の管穴78の他に、排水管用の管穴を設けてもよい。各管の両方が床面から引き出される場合、後カバー部56に管穴78を設けなくともよい。   The toilet apparatus 10 demonstrated the example in which the pipe hole 78 for water supply pipes is formed in the rear cover part 56. FIG. When the drain pipe or the water supply pipe is drawn out from the side wall surface of the toilet room, a pipe hole for the drain pipe may be provided in addition to the pipe hole 78 for the water supply pipe. When both the pipes are pulled out from the floor surface, it is not necessary to provide the pipe hole 78 in the rear cover portion 56.

後カバー部56は、第2固定具86、第4固定具100の締め付けの調整により便器本体12に対して位置調整可能に固定される例を説明した。後カバー部56は、この他にも、面ファスナー、嵌め合い等を用いて便器本体12に対して位置調整可能に固定されてよい。ここで面ファスナーを用いた場合、面ファスナーが固定具であるともとらえられる。   The back cover part 56 demonstrated the example fixed so that position adjustment is possible with respect to the toilet bowl main body 12 by adjustment of the fastening of the 2nd fixing tool 86 and the 4th fixing tool 100. In addition to this, the rear cover part 56 may be fixed to the toilet body 12 so as to be position-adjustable using a hook-and-loop fastener, a fit, or the like. When a hook-and-loop fastener is used here, it can be considered that the hook-and-loop fastener is a fixture.

前カバー部44と後カバー部56の境目69を形成する対向端部68A、68Bは、それらの輪郭線が三次元的に揃うように設けられたが、揃えられていなくともよい。また、便器本体12の下端部に設けられるベース部30は便器本体12と別体に構成される例を説明したが、これらは一体に構成されてもよい。   The opposed end portions 68A and 68B that form the boundary 69 between the front cover portion 44 and the rear cover portion 56 are provided so that their contour lines are three-dimensionally aligned, but may not be aligned. Moreover, although the base part 30 provided in the lower end part of the toilet bowl main body 12 demonstrated the example comprised separately from the toilet bowl main body 12, these may be comprised integrally.
