Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a Western-style toilet bowl provided with an insole so as to cover the seat surface of the toilet seat, and to its insole.

(Prior technology) Unlike Japanese-style toilets, Western-style seated toilets are designed to defecate by placing the FF part directly on the toilet seat, which is unsanitary when used by an unspecified number of people. For this reason, in such Western-style toilets, it has been conventional practice to place paper on the toilet seat or wipe the toilet seat with disinfectant paper when using it.

Attempts have also been made to mix metal powders such as silver and copper which have antibacterial properties and inorganic powders containing atoms of silver and copper into resin toilet seats.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, if the paper is simply placed on top of the toilet seat, not only will bacteria pass through the holes in the paper, resulting in no expected effect, but the paper is not stiff enough to handle. It is inconvenient, and when M-poison paper is used, the toilet seat must be wiped by hand each time, which is time-consuming and troublesome.

On the other hand, when an antibacterial agent is mixed into the toilet seat, if a large amount of the antibacterial agent is mixed in, the strength of the toilet seat body will be reduced, and if the amount of antibacterial agent is small, the desired effect will not be obtained.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention was made with the aim of solving the above problems, and the gist thereof is to cover the seat surface of a toilet seat with an insole containing a natural physiologically active material inside. The point is that it is provided in a removable manner so as to cover it.

Here, natural physiologically active materials include: ■Hot water extracts of plants and animals;
Powdered flavomaids, tannins, and amino acids obtained from ether extracts, methanol extracts, or their residues, substances mainly consisting of polyphenol compounds, and methanol extracts of cypress oil and tea that have bactericidal and antibacterial effects. These are physiologically active substances extracted from natural plants and animals, such as powdered betel leaf extract, and plant essential oils consisting of terpene-based substances, which are often found in tank oil.

This natural bioactive material is sterilizing, antibacterial and deodorizing.

It has mild aromatic properties, and also has properties such as volatility and water solubility.

On the other hand, the insole can be made of resin such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, rubber, paper, or the like. As a method for incorporating the natural physiologically active material into such an insole, the natural physiologically active material may be blended or mixed into the insole at the same time as the insole is molded, or the natural physiologically active material may be incorporated into the insole after the insole is molded. may be impregnated inside, however, the former is preferable. That is, when molding an insole using resin, it is best to mix natural physiologically active material powder into resin powder and mold the mixed powder.
In addition, when forming the insole using paper, it is desirable to mix natural physiologically active materials during paper making.The paper used to make the insole should be made of 100% natural pulp, which has high water solubility. This is desirable because when the insole is disposed of, it can be thrown into the toilet bowl and washed away.

Furthermore, the content of natural physiologically active materials is 0.01 to 1.
% amount is desirable.

(Actions and Effects of the Invention) As mentioned above, natural physiologically active materials have properties such as volatility and water solubility, so if they are contained inside the insole, this natural physiologically active material will constantly It oozes out onto the surface and performs sterilizing, antibacterial, deodorizing, etc. effects, so even a small amount of Calo added can be effective, and the sterilizing effect is evenly distributed over the entire surface of the insole. Since this natural physiologically active material is natural and not synthetic, it is harmless to the human body and has the advantage of being inexpensive.

Of course, natural physiologically active materials have properties such as volatility and water solubility, so they are lost from the insole over a long period of time.Therefore, in the present invention, such an insole is provided in a removable manner. This means that when it loses its effectiveness, it can be replaced with something new.

By the way, it is possible to incorporate the above-mentioned natural physiologically active material into the toilet seat itself, but since this toilet seat is fixed to the toilet bowl and cannot be replaced, it is possible to incorporate the natural physiologically active material into such a toilet seat. In that case, it shall cease to be effective until it loses its effectiveness. In contrast, with Honsha 1J, an insole is provided separately from the toilet seat to contain natural physiologically active materials inside, and this is removable, so natural physiologically active materials are always present. Therefore, it is possible to ensure the sterilization effect.

In addition, in order to know when the effect of the natural physiologically active material contained in the insole has expired, it is convenient to include an aromatic material in the insole as well as a natural physiologically active material with sterilizing and deodorizing properties. It is. This is because the presence or absence of this fragrance can be used as a guide to determine whether or not the natural physiologically active material is effective.

The natural physiologically active material added to the insole will normally work effectively for about 2 to 3 months depending on the amount added, but the timing for replacing it is optional.For example, when the natural physiologically active material loses its effectiveness at home etc. This may be replaced, or in hotel restrooms, etc., each time the number of guests changes, or in public restrooms at stations, etc., the toilet bowl may be replaced each time it is used. Also good.
