Abstract

PURPOSE:To form ozone for decomposing and disinfecting filthy matters by ozone by providing mercury lamps which respectively radiate ultraviolet rays each having different wave length to the inside surface of a toilet bowl and on a toilet seat. CONSTITUTION:When a user leaves from a toilet seat 3 and shuts a cover 4 after using a western style toilet 1, it is detected by a seat switch, etc. The cover 4 is locked at this state, and two low voltage mercury lamps 5 and 6, that are electrically connected to the seat switch, are turned on for a specified time period by a timer, etc. After the specified time has passed, the cover 4 is unlocked. The mercury lamp 5 radiates ultraviolet rays having a wave length centering on 185nm, and the mercury lamp 6 radiates ultraviolet rays having a wave length centering on 254nm. Ozone O3 is formed from O2 in the air by the ultraviolet rays a having wave length centering on 185nm. The ozone O3 is decomposed into free radical O and oxygen O2 by the ultraviolet rays centering on 254nm. Therefore, decomposition and removal of organic substances contained in filthy matters 8 are carried out by radiating the two kinds of ultraviolet rays having different wave length.
