Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a toilet seat used in a Western-style toilet bowl, and particularly to a toilet seat with an improved attachment portion to the toilet bowl.

[Prior Art] A toilet seat has a mounting portion and a seat portion that is pivotally supported by the mounting portion and lies over the opening of the toilet bowl, and the mounting portion is connected to the toilet bowl by a mounting bolt.

In Japan, Japanese Industrial Standard JIS A 5207
For sanitary ware, the installation interval of the toilet seat mounting bolt insertion holes (A in Figure 2) is specified as 140 mm. In addition, FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing how the toilet seat is attached to the toilet bowl, where 1 is the toilet bowl, 2 is the toilet seat, and 3 is the toilet seat.
is the toilet lid, and 4 is the water tank. The mounting bolt 5 is tightened with a nut 7 through a hemispherical packing 6, thereby fixing the mounting portion of the toilet seat 2 to the toilet bowl 1.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] When attaching a domestically produced toilet seat to a domestically produced toilet bowl, no problems occur because the insertion holes for the toilet seat mounting bolts are installed at regular intervals. However, in other countries, the spacing between the insertion holes for the toilet seat mounting bolts varies from about 140 to 180 mm, which may make it impossible to attach an imported toilet bowl to a domestically produced toilet seat. Similar problems may also occur when attaching a domestically produced toilet seat to an imported toilet bowl, or when exporting a domestically produced toilet seat and attaching it to a toilet bowl in a foreign country.

Note that the length of the toilet in the longitudinal direction (hereinafter referred to as the front-back direction) varies slightly depending on the type of toilet, so the insertion hole for the mounting bolt should be a long hole in the front-back direction of the toilet, and the length should be approximately 50 mm. Although it is known that this method can be used, there has been no effective countermeasure for adjusting the distance between the bolt insertion holes in the left and right direction.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The toilet seat of the present invention is configured such that a sliding member in which a long hole for a mounting bolt is formed is slidable in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the long hole. It is installed in the mounting part.

For example, in the toilet seat of the present invention, the long hole for the mounting bolt is extended in the front and rear direction of the seat,
A slide member is attached so as to be slidable in the left and right direction of the toilet seat.

[Function] The toilet seat of the present invention changes the engagement position between the mounting bolt and the elongated hole and the horizontal position of the slide member, so that the distance between the bolt insertion holes can be adjusted to fit toilets other than those specified by Japanese Industrial Standards. It can also be easily installed. Furthermore, the present invention can be attached to and used for toilet bowls having various lengths in the front and back directions.

[Example] Examples will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of a toilet seat according to an embodiment of the present invention, and is a perspective view of the toilet seat seen from the back side.
Moreover, FIG. 3 is a sectional view showing the installed state,
A cross section taken along the - line in FIG. 1 is shown. Fourth
The figure is an enlarged perspective view of the slide member.

The toilet seat according to this embodiment includes a mounting portion 8 and a seat portion 10 pivotally supported on the mounting portion 8 by a pin 9.
It has The mounting portion 8 is box-shaped in this embodiment, and a pair of rectangular holes 11 are provided symmetrically in the bottom surface 8a.
A slide member 12 is provided in this hole 11 so as to be slidable in the left-right direction. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, on the upper surface side of the bottom surface 8a,
A guide member 14 is fixed along the opening edge of the punch hole 11, and a thin end portion 12 of the slide member 12 is disposed between the guide member 14 and the edge of the punch hole 11.
a is slidably held.

As shown in FIG. 4, the slide member 12 has a bolt insertion hole 13 extending in the front and back direction of the toilet seat.
is drilled. In this embodiment, the bolt insertion hole 13 has a wide hole part 13a and a narrow part 13b. The dimensions are such that the head of the person cannot pass through it.

To install the toilet seat according to this embodiment, after placing the toilet seat on the top surface of the toilet bowl 1, insert the mounting bolt 5 into the bolt insertion hole 15 of the toilet bowl 1 from below, and attach the seat by passing the head of the bolt through the large diameter part 13a. Insert into section 8. After that, move the toilet seat slightly backwards,
After the head of the mounting bolt 5 is engaged with the narrow portion 13b, the nut 7 is tightened through the hemispherical packing 6 to fix it.

In the above embodiment, since the mounting bolts 5 can be inserted and fastened from the bottom of the toilet bowl, the cover 8b may be fixed to the bottom surface 8a using an adhesive or the like. However, in the present invention, the cover 8b may be detachably attached to the bottom surface 8a. In this way, the mounting bolts 5 can be inserted into the bolt insertion holes 13 and 15 from above the cover 8b.

Further, in the above embodiment, the bolt insertion hole 13 is made to extend in the front-rear direction and the slide member 12 is slid in the left-right direction, but in the present invention, the bolt insertion hole 13 is made to extend in the left-right direction. , the slide member 12 may be slid in the front-back direction. When attaching the latter type of toilet seat to a toilet bowl, a type in which the cover 8b is detachably attached to the bottom surface 8a is preferred because it facilitates the attachment work.

In addition, in this invention, the dimensions a, shown in FIG.
Although b and c are not particularly limited, for example, if a=b=about 60 mm and c=about 100 mm, it can be installed extremely easily in various domestically produced Western-style toilet bowls. Also, when a, b, and c are of this size, d and e shown in Fig. 4 are approximately 30 mm,
It is preferable that e=approximately 50 mm.

[Effects] As described above, the toilet seat of the present invention can be easily attached to toilets having various distances between toilet seat mounting bolt holes or lengths in the longitudinal direction of the toilet.

Furthermore, it is also possible to reduce the number of toilet seat types and reduce costs through mass production.
