Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (a) Industrial application field The present invention relates to a flush toilet that can be used for both Japanese and Western styles.

(b) Conventional technology Traditionally, as a flush toilet for both Japanese and Western styles,
There is one described in Publication No. 53-110750.

That is, in such a flush toilet, the rear end of the butt rest frame is attached to the rear upper surface of the toilet bowl body so as to be able to rise and fall freely, and foot rests are provided protruding from the upper left and right sides of the toilet tank body, and furthermore, A gold hidden part is provided on the rear upper surface of the tank body.

With this configuration, it is also possible to perform Western-style use, that is, to use the butt-rest frame body lying down on the toilet tank body, and to sit on the butt-rest frame body to relieve the toilet.
In addition, Japanese-style use is used, that is, the footrest frame is not used in an upright position, and the left and right feet are placed on the left and right footrests, respectively, and the user urinates while straddling the toilet tank body. We are also making it possible to do so.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention However, since the above-mentioned flush toilet has a hidden metal part on the rear upper surface of the toilet tank body, it is difficult to use the flush toilet in Western style when sitting on the buttocks resting frame. In the case of Japanese-style use, in which the user rests on a footrest and uses the toilet, the body orientation is opposite, and therefore the position at which feces falls into the toilet tank body is displaced in the front-rear direction.

For this reason, the inner shape of the flush toilet tank body is
With the normal shape that makes it easy to wash and drain feces, it is not possible to drain feces smoothly and reliably when using the Japanese style while resting on a footrest. In order to ensure smooth and reliable evacuation, the shape of the toilet tank itself needs to be different from that of a normal toilet tank, which poses problems such as an increase in the manufacturing cost of the toilet tank.

In addition, in the flush toilet mentioned above, since the gold hidden part is provided at the rear of the toilet tank body, it is necessary to increase the front and rear width of the toilet tank body so that the gold hidden part does not become an obstacle when using the toilet seat. However, there is a problem in that the manufacturing cost increases accordingly.

(d) Means for solving the problem Therefore, in the present invention, the rear end of the butt-resting frame is attached to the rear upper surface of the toilet tank main body in a manner that it can be raised and lowered freely, and the feet are installed at the upper left and right sides of the toilet tank main body, respectively. In a toilet structure with a protruding mounting base, the top surface of the front part of the toilet tank body is raised upward to form a gold hidden part, while the front end of the bottom mounting frame is cut out to form a roughly U-shape in plan view. The front ends of the left and right sides of the butt-mounting frame body, which is formed into a shape and used in a laid-down state, are located on the left and right sides of the money-hidden part, and the upper surface of the butt-placement frame body and the top end of the money-hidden part are located on the right and left sides of the money-hidden part. It is an object of the present invention to provide a flush toilet characterized by being substantially flush.

(E) Functions and Effects According to the present invention, the following functions and effects occur.

That is, in the present invention, since the top surface of the front part of the toilet tank body is raised upward to form the metal hidden part, the user can place the butt-resting frame in a lying down position and sit on the butt-resting frame. In the case of Western-style use, where you use the toilet tank to relieve yourself, you can also use the toilet tank body by placing one foot on the left and right footrests and urinating while straddling the body of the toilet tank. Even in the case of Japanese-style use, the body can be oriented in the same forward direction, and the position at which feces falls into the toilet tank body can also be at approximately the same position.

Therefore, the inner surface of the flushable toilet tank main body can be made into a normal shape that facilitates flushing and discharging stool, and the flushing efficiency can be maintained at a good level.

In addition, the front ends of the left and right sides of the butt-mounting frame body in the inverted use state are located on the left and right sides of the gold-hidden part, and the upper surface of the butt-placing frame body and the upper end of the gold-hidden part are approximately flush with each other. Because of this, the hidden metal part does not interfere with the user even when using the toilet tank in a Western style, and the front and back width of the toilet tank body can be made the same as that of a normal toilet tank body, making it easier to use than a normal toilet tank. Like the main body, it can be made compact.

(F) Example The example of the present invention will be explained in detail based on the drawings.
A shows a seat-type flush toilet, and the flush toilet A has a toilet tank main body 1 that is shaped like an elliptical bowl in plan view and has a certain height, and a rear end that can be raised and lowered on the rear upper surface of the main body 1. It consists of the attached butt-mounting frame 2,
The flush toilet A can be used both in Western style and Japanese style. 5 is a lid attached to the bottom mounting frame 2 so that it can be opened and closed; 6 is a water supply pipe; 7 is a water supply lever;
Reference numeral 8 denotes a discharge port for the waste collected in the toilet tank main body 1.

At the upper left and right sides of the toilet tank body 1, there are
Foot rests 3, 3 on which one leg can be placed are installed in series, and after the butt rest frame 2 which is in the lying down position on the toilet tank body 1 is placed in the upright position and not in use, each It is possible to use the toilet in a Japanese-style usage state by placing one foot on the footrests 3, 3 and straddling the toilet tank body 1.

Furthermore, the upper surface of the front part of the toilet tank main body 1 is raised, and the raised part of the front part forms a hidden gold part 4.

In addition, the bottom mounting frame 2 placed on the upper surface of the toilet tank main body 1 has a front end cut out so as not to interfere with the gold hidden part 4 formed on the toilet tank main body 1.
The left and right front ends 2a, 2a of the butt-mounting frame 2, which is formed into a letter shape and used in a laid-down state, are located on the left and right sides of the money hiding part 4, and are in contact with the upper surface of the butt-mounting frame 2. It is configured so that the upper end of the gold hidden part 4 is substantially flush with the upper end.

The embodiment of the present invention is constructed as described above, and in the case of Western-style use, when the bottom mounting frame 2 is laid down on the toilet tank body 1, the body is placed on the edge of the frame 2. It is used by sitting down with the toilet facing forward, but in the case of Japanese-style use, the butt-mounting frame 2 that is in the lying down position is lifted onto the toilet tank body 1 to make it not in use. Next, the user places one foot on each of the footrests 3, 3 protruding from the toilet tank main body 1, and urinates while straddling the main body 1, with the body facing forward.

In this way, in both the Japanese style and the Western style use, since the user's body is facing forward, the dropping position of the feces into the toilet tank body 1 can also be at approximately the same position.

Therefore, the inner surface of the flushable toilet tank main body 1 can be made into a normal shape that facilitates flushing and discharging stool, and the flushing efficiency can be maintained at a good level.

In addition, the left and right front ends 2a, 2a of the butt-mounting frame 2 in the inverted use state are located on the left and right sides of the money-hidden part 4, and the upper surface of the butt-placement frame 2 and the money-hidden part 4 are located on the right and left sides of the money-hidden part 4.
Since the top edge of the
The gold hidden part 4 does not interfere with the user even when using the Western-style toilet tank, and the front and back width of the toilet tank body 1 can be made the same as that of a normal toilet tank body, making it as compact as a normal toilet tank body. can be ensured.

In addition, by setting the buttocks mounting frame 2 in a state where it is not used in an upright position, it can also be used for male urination.
