[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, with regard to general toilet bowls, although the toilet seat and toilet lid can be relatively easily fixed to the toilet body using the fixing structure shown in FIG. Western-style toilet bowls of the type shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 have the disadvantage that fixing them is extremely difficult or impossible.

The toilet bowl (S) shown in FIG. 6 is called a one-piece toilet bowl, and has a flushing water tank (C) built into the toilet bowl body (C). This one-piece toilet (s)
When fixing the toilet seat (A) and toilet lid (B) to the toilet body (C) using the fixing structure shown in Figure 5, due to the structure of the one-piece toilet (S), the operator must use water for flushing. You have to reach from the tank (C) side and fix the bolt part (F) of the hinge (K) shown in Figure 5 by tightening it with the nut (B). For this reason, the work has become extremely troublesome.

On the other hand, the toilet bowl shown in FIG. The connection between (a) and the toilet bowl body (c) is not exposed, and the water tank for flushing (as shown in Figure 6) is
5), the fixing structure shown in FIG. 5 cannot be used. This invention was made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and it solves the drawbacks of the conventional structure for fixing the toilet seat and toilet lid to the toilet body, and provides a simple and convenient solution for Western-style toilets of various structures and configurations. Another object of the present invention is to provide a new toilet bowl and toilet lid fixing structure that can easily fix the toilet seat and toilet lid.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a cylindrical part having an insertion hole in a flat plate part and a plurality of local protrusions on the inner surface of the insertion hole. Insert the cylindrical part of the elastic packing made of an elastic body extending from the body into the hole of the toilet bowl body, and insert the connecting member for holding the toilet seat and the toilet lid into the cylindrical part through the insertion hole of the elastic packing. To provide a fixed structure for a toilet seat and a toilet lid, which are fixed.

The present invention also provides an elastic packing characterized in that the flat plate part has an insertion hole and a cylindrical part having a plurality of local protrusions on the inner surface extends from the insertion hole. It also provides.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The toilet seat and toilet lid fixing structure of the present invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings. 1, 2, and 3 are a perspective view, a sectional view, and a bottom view, respectively, showing an embodiment of an elastic packing that can be used in the present invention.

As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, in the present invention, when fixing the toilet seat and toilet lid to the toilet main body, the flat plate part (1) has an insertion hole part (2), and a cylindrical part (4) having a plurality of protrusions (3) locally arranged on the inner surface.
) is used, which is made of an elastic body and extends downward from the insertion hole (2). The flat plate part of this elastic packing (
1) can be provided with a positioning hole (5) for positioning the fixing position of the hinge, which will be described later. On the other hand, the tip of the cylindrical part (4) has a wall thickness so that when the cylindrical part (4) is inserted into the hole in the toilet bowl body, the cylindrical part (4) will sandwich the toilet bowl body. A section (6) can be provided. In this case, the thick part (6
) is preferably provided with a plurality of notches (7) so that the toilet can be easily inserted into the hole in the toilet bowl body.

[0011] Since the toilet bowl body is generally made of ceramic and there are large variations in dimensions, such elastic packing is made of an elastic material such as rubber to absorb variations in the dimensions of the toilet bowl body and unevenness on the surface. do. FIG. 4 is a sectional view showing an embodiment of the toilet seat and toilet lid fixing structure of the present invention.

When fixing the toilet seat and toilet lid to the toilet bowl body, first, the cylindrical portion (4) of the elastic packing illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3 is inserted into the hole in the toilet bowl body (8). Then,
The pin part (10) provided on the lower surface of the hinge (9), which serves as a connecting member between the toilet seat and the toilet lid, is inserted into the toilet main body (8) through the insertion hole (2) and the cylindrical part (4) of the elastic packing. Insert into the hole. Then, the pin part (10) of the hinge (9)
is firmly fixed by a plurality of local protrusions (3) on the inner surface of the cylindrical part (4). Further, since the thick wall portion (6) is provided at the tip of the cylindrical portion (4), the elastic packing will not slip out from the hole in the toilet body (8). For this reason,
The hinge (9) can be attached to the toilet main body (8) even if the pin part (10) of the hinge (9) is not specially fixed with a fixing member such as a nut.
is firmly fixed. Furthermore, since the elastic packing is made of an elastic material such as rubber, the flat plate portion (1) absorbs irregularities on the surface of the toilet main body (8) and stabilizes the fixation of the hinge (9).

[0013] In this way, the toilet seat and the toilet bowl can be firmly fixed by simply inserting the pin part (10) of the hinge (9) into the hole of the toilet main body (8) via the elastic packing. Therefore, the work of fixing the toilet seat and the toilet lid to the toilet main body becomes extremely simple and easy. Even in the case of a one-piece toilet bowl or a toilet bowl in which the connecting portion between the toilet seat and the toilet lid and the toilet bowl body is not exposed, the toilet seat and the toilet lid can be simply and easily fixed to the toilet bowl body.

Further, in the present invention, a protrusion (11) is provided on the lower surface of the hinge (9), and the protrusion (11) is inserted into the positioning hole (5) previously provided in the elastic packing.
) can also be positioned at a fixed position. Of course, the invention is not limited to the above examples. It goes without saying that various aspects are possible with respect to details such as the shape and material of the elastic packing, the size, shape, and structure of the hinge.

[0015]

[Effects of the Invention] As explained in detail above, according to the present invention, a toilet seat and a toilet lid can be simply and easily fixed to a toilet main body. Toilet seats and toilet lids can be simply and easily fixed to various Western-style toilet bowls, such as one-piece toilet bowls and high-class toilet bowls that place emphasis on appearance design.
