The harness cover 4 includes a first harness cover 41, a second harness cover 42, and a claw engaging portion 5 provided on each of the first harness cover 41 and the second harness cover 42, which will be described below. . The claw engaging portion 5 fixes the harness cover 4 to the rear base body portion 321.

The first harness cover 41 has an elongated shape, and is arranged so that its longitudinal direction extends along the width direction of the toilet device 1 near the side wall portion 322 on the rear end side of the rear base body portion 321, as shown in FIG. Placed. The first harness cover 41 is a cover that covers the harness 6 disposed on the rear side of the water supply mechanism 92. As shown in FIG. 4A, the first harness cover 41 includes a first cover plane part 411, a first body engaging part 51, and a pipe engaging part 52. The first main body engaging portion 51 and the pipe engaging portion 52 constitute an elastically deformable claw engaging portion 5.

The first cover plane portion 411 is a flat surface that covers the harness 6 and has an elongated shape. The first cover plane portion 411 is formed with a protruding portion or a cutout portion corresponding to the shape of the functional component 9 disposed within the rear base body portion 321. The first cover plane portion 411 is fixed to the rear base body portion 321 with screws.

The first main body engaging portion 51 is formed at the end of the first cover plane portion 411 in the longitudinal direction. The first main body engaging portion 51 is a small projection that projects outward in the longitudinal direction from the end of the first cover flat portion 411 . As shown in FIG. 2, the protrusion 326 is located at a position facing the first main body engagement part 51, and an engagement recess 323 is formed in the protrusion 326. The first main body engaging portion 51 fits into and engages with the engaging recess 323.

When installing the first harness cover 41 , the first main body engaging portion 51 comes into contact with a flat surface around the engaging recess 323 in the protruding portion 326 before fitting into the engaging recess 323 , and Press. At this time, the first cover plane portion 411 is bent and deformed. When the first body engaging portion 51 is fitted into the engaging recess 323, the first harness cover 41 returns to its original deformation, and the entire length matches the installation location of the rear base body portion 321.

The pipe engaging portion 52 is formed approximately at the center of the first cover plane portion 411 in the longitudinal direction. The pipe engaging portion 52 is configured to protrude upward from the first cover plane portion 411 and engage around the water supply pipe 921, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4B. The pipe engaging portion 52 has a substantially U-shaped cross section that opens downward, and includes an upper surface portion 521 and a pair of side surface portions 522.

The upper surface portion 521 is a portion that extends substantially parallel to the first cover flat portion 411 at a position upwardly away from the first cover flat portion 411 . The side surface portion 522 is a portion extending downward from one and the other widthwise sides of the upper surface portion 521 shown in FIG. 4B and covering the side surface of the water supply pipe 921. The pair of side surfaces 522 includes a curved portion 522a and a lower straight portion 522b. The curved portions 522a curve downward in a direction toward each other along the curved surface of the water supply pipe 921. The lower end straight portion 522b linearly projects further downward from the lower ends of the pair of curved portions 522a. When the pipe engaging part 52 is pushed downward from above with the lower end of the lower straight part 522b in contact with the water supply pipe 921, the side part 522 deforms as if sliding on the surface of the water supply pipe 921 and expands once. The deformation that spreads toward the bottom of the water supply pipe 921 returns to its original state and is attached along the periphery of the water supply pipe 921.

The first harness cover 41 is configured such that the first body engaging portion 51 fits into the engaging recess 323 of the rear base body portion 321 and the pipe engaging portion 52 engages around the water supply pipe 921.

A rear edge portion 421b of the long side of the second cover plane portion 421 located on the rear side of the rear base body portion 321 has an obliquely inclined shape.

The finger hook portion 422 is disposed approximately in the longitudinal center of the front edge portion 421a of the second cover plane portion 421 located on the front side of the rear base body portion 321 on the long side. The finger hook part 422 has a flat part with a predetermined width, has a hook-like shape in cross section as shown in FIG. 5B, and has a long side part 422a hanging down from the front edge part 421a, and a lower end of the long side part 422a. It has a bottom side portion 422b extending from the rear base body portion 321 toward the front side of the rear base body portion 321, and a short side portion 422c extending briefly upward from the front end of the long side portion 422a. The long side portion 422a, the bottom side portion 422b, and the short side portion 422c form a recessed portion with the bottom portion 422b as the bottom, and a finger can be placed in this recessed portion to apply force toward the upper front.

The second main body engaging portion 53 is constituted by a through hole formed on the lower end side of the long side portion 422a of the finger hook portion 422. When the second harness cover 42 is attached to the rear base body part 321, the side wall of the support part 325 of the rear base body part 321, which the long side part 422a comes into contact with, has an engagement convex part 324 that protrudes toward the long side part 422a. is formed. The engagement convex portion 324 passes through the second main body engagement portion 53, which is a through hole, and projects toward the short side portion 422c. The lower end of the engagement protrusion 324 protrudes forward so as to come into contact with the bottom side 422b, so it is engaged so that the bottom side 422b cannot move upward, and the second main body engagement part 53 does not come off. It looks like this. The second main body engaging portion 53 is disengaged from the engaging convex portion 324 by pulling the finger hook portion 422 upward and forward when necessary.

The music board holding part 423 is a plate-shaped part provided on the other side of the finger rest part 422 at the front edge part 421a of the second cover plane part 421. The music board holding portion 423 extends in the vertical direction, with its plate surface intersecting the surface of the second cover plane portion 421 . The music board holding part 423 is adjacent to the finger rest part 422 with a space therebetween. As shown in FIG. 3, the music board 94 is attached below the second cover plane part 421 attached to the support part 325 of the rear base main body part 321, and is attached to the front edge 421a of the second cover plane part 421. The lower end of the music board holding part 423 hanging down from the top presses the music board 94, more specifically, the upper surface of the music board case 942.
