Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a toilet seat support device that is openably and closably mounted on a sitting toilet bowl.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, a toilet seat provided on a stool-type toilet is supported on the toilet by opening and closing around a horizontal axis.

As described above, since the toilet seat is simply supported by the horizontal axis as described above, if the hand is slid from the toilet seat when closing the toilet seat, the toilet seat will hit the toilet bowl strongly and make a loud noise. There was a problem of emitting. Further, when opening the toilet seat, it is necessary to lift the toilet seat, and at that time, the weight of the toilet seat must be lifted as it is, which is a problem.

【Example】

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First, the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 6 will be described. Reference numerals 1 and 2 are a toilet seat and a lid provided on the western-style toilet 3 so as to be openable and closable. Numerals 4 and 5 are supporting devices which engage with the rear end portions of the toilet seat 1 and the lid body 2 to rotatably and independently support the toilet seat 1 and the lid body 2 around the horizontal axis. 4 is a casing 8 made of synthetic resin, which is mounted on the rear end of the Western-style toilet 3 and fixed by bolts 6 and nuts 7, a drum 9 fixed in the casing 8, and an outer circumference of the drum 9 in the casing 8. A coil spring 10 provided so as to be wound around, and an auxiliary coil spring 11 which is engaged with one end bent portion 10a of the coil spring 10 in the casing 8 and is inserted along the outer periphery of the drum 9. In order to prevent the inside of the casing 8 from being seen from the outside, an engagement piece 12 that engages with the other end bent portion 10b of the coil spring 10 is provided on the inner surface and the outer surface is provided with a shaft support portion of the rear end portion of the lid body 2. 13 a rotating plate 15 having an engaging piece 14 that engages with the outer surface, and the drum And a pivot shaft 17 that is attached to the casing 8 so as to penetrate through the center of the rotating plate 15 and is fitted into a hole 16a of the shaft support portion 16 of the toilet seat 1 and a hole 13a of the shaft support portion 13 of the lid 2. ing. Next, the other supporting device 5 is mounted on the rear end of the Western-style toilet 3 and fixed to the casing 20 with bolts 18 and nuts 19. A casing 20 made of synthetic resin, a drum 21 fixed inside the casing 20, and a casing 20. A coil spring 22 provided so as to be wound around the outer periphery of the drum 21 inside, and an auxiliary member inserted along the outer periphery of the drum 21 by engaging with one end bent portion 22a of the coil spring 22 also inside the casing 20. The coil spring 23 and the inside of the casing 20 are closed so as not to be seen from the outside, and an engaging piece (not shown) is engaged with the other end bent portion 22b of the coil spring 22 on the inner surface like the rotating plate 15. ), And a rotating plate 26 having an engaging piece 25 for engaging the outer surface of the shaft supporting portion 16 at the rear end portion of the toilet seat 1 on the outer surface thereof, and so as to penetrate through the centers of the drum 21 and the rotating plate 26. Attached to the casing 20 in the casing 20 of the shaft support 16 of the toilet seat 1 and the lid And a pivot shaft 27. where the Ru is fitted into the hole 13a of the shaft support 13.

In the above structure, the toilet seat 1 and the lid body 2 are pivotally supported by the pivot shafts 17 and 27 projecting from the both support devices 4 and 5, and the engagement piece 14 of the one support device 4 is the lid body. The second supporting device 5 is engaged with the outer surface of the second shaft supporting portion 13, and the engaging piece 25 of the other supporting device 5 is engaged with the outer surface of the shaft supporting portion 16 of the toilet seat 1. The rotating plate 15 provided with the engaging piece 14 is engaged with the other end bent portion 10b of the coil spring 10 by the engaging piece 12 on the inner surface, and the rotating plate 26 provided with the engaging piece 25 is provided with a coil spring. Since the engaging piece on the inner surface is engaged with the other end bent portion 22b of the bed 22, when the toilet seat 1 is rotated in the closing direction, that is, when it is about to overlap with the western-style toilet 3, the coil spring 22 The other end bent portion 22b is rotated in a direction in which the drum 21 is tightened to apply a braking force to the rotation of the toilet seat 1 so that the toilet seat 1 can be slowly closed. When the lid 2 is rotated in the closing direction, that is, when the upper end of the western-style toilet 3 is to be closed, the other end bent portion 10b of the coil spring 10 is rotated in the direction in which the drum 9 is tightened. A breaking force can be applied to the rotation of 2 to slowly close the lid 2.

On the contrary, when the lid 2 and the toilet seat 1 are rotated upward to open, the other end bent portion 10b of the coil spring 10 and the other end bent portion 22b of the coil spring 22 are attached to the drums 9 and 21, respectively. On the other hand, the opening force is applied to the lid body 2 and the toilet seat 1 so that the lid body 2 and the toilet seat 1 can be lightly lifted by attempting to rotate in the direction in which the tightening is loosened, that is, the direction in which the biasing force of the spring is released.

By the way, the one-end bent portion 10a of the coil spring 10 and the one-end bent portion 22a of the coil spring 22 are engaged with the auxiliary coil springs 11 and 23, respectively. The load of the lid 2 and the toilet seat 1 is received by the force of the coil springs 10 and 22 and the force of the auxiliary coil springs 11 and 23 at the time of closing, and the closing speed of the lid 2 and the toilet seat 1 is suppressed. be able to.

Next, the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 will be described. In this embodiment, the rotating plate 15 and the pivot shaft 17 are provided without providing the engaging pieces 14 and 25 on the rotating plates 15 and 26. The rotary plate 26 and the pivot shaft 27 are integrally formed, and the pivot shaft 17 integrated with the rotary plate 15 is engaged with the hole 13a of the shaft support portion 13 of the lid 2. As described above, the fitting portion for the hole 13a is a square shaft 17a, and the fitting portion for the shaft support portion 16 of the toilet seat 1 is a round shaft 17b. The hole 13a is a square hole and the hole 16a is a round hole. Further, the pivot shaft 27 integrated with the rotating plate 26 has a fitting portion for the hole 16a of the toilet seat 1 that engages with the hole 16a of the shaft support portion 16 is an angular shaft 27a. The fitting portion for the hole 13a is a round shaft 27b, the hole 16a is a square hole, and the hole 13a is a round hole. The other structure is the same as that of the first embodiment.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the spring force acts on the toilet seat 1 and the lid 2 by the engagement of the square shaft and the square hole. In addition, in the above two embodiments, the lid 2 and the toilet seat 1 are supported by the two support devices 4 and 5, but when the lid 2 is not present, only the toilet seat 1 is supported.

[0013]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, even if the user releases his / her hand when closing the toilet seat, the spring force acts so that the toilet seat can be slowly closed, and when the toilet seat is opened, the toilet seat can be lifted lightly.
