Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a technique for painting a heated toilet seat.

[Background technology]

In recent years, toilet seats have been developed in various ways based on various needs. For example, a heated toilet seat is one of them, and its popularity is remarkable. On the other hand, those who are not tired of monotonous colors and have a design on the toilet seat are also preferred.

However, if you do not actually touch the toilet seat surface with your hands or buttocks, you will not know whether the toilet seat is heated by electricity or not.On a cold toilet seat, etc. There is something.

[Purpose of device]

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is possible to visually check whether the heated toilet seat surface is warm or cold by using this picture in the toilet seat with a picture before using (seating). , To provide a heated toilet seat that can be used with peace of mind.

[Disclosure of device]

The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings shown as embodiments.

In the figure, A is a heated toilet seat, which is formed by providing a heater 4 on the back surface of the toilet seat body 1 and closing the toilet seat body 1 with a toilet seat back plate 5. 6 is a cushioning material for the toilet body (not shown). The toilet seat body 1 and the toilet seat back plate 5 are made of ABS resin in a substantially constant thickness dimension of, for example, t = 5.
Are integrally formed by ultrasonic welding or the like. The heater 4 is attached to the back surface of the toilet seat body 1 via an adhesive.

The painting film 3 is a transparent film made of polypropylene resin with a t value of about 0.1 and is insert-molded on the surface of the toilet seat body at the same time when it is molded.

Pattern 2 has a diameter of about 10 from the back side of the above-mentioned painting film 3.
A microcapsule in which a pigment whose color changes with temperature is encapsulated in a liquid in a particle of about micron is formed by silk-printing twice.

Then, if necessary, the background is printed again to make, for example, a flower pattern 2. Therefore, for example, the heater 4 of the heated toilet seat 1
The pattern 2 has a whitish color when no electricity is applied to the heater 4. However, when the heater 4 is energized and the surface of the heated toilet seat becomes warmer, the color change of the pigment in the microcapsules causes the pattern (flower pattern) to change from pink to further. Try to change to a large red flower pattern.

This makes it look warmer at first glance and gives a sense of security when sitting.

[Advantage of the Invention] As described above, the heating toilet seat according to the present invention is a heating toilet seat whose surface is patterned with a painting film. Since it is attached to the toilet seat, it is possible to check at a glance the state of the heated toilet seat surface (whether it is warm or cold) before sitting on the toilet seat, giving a sense of security. Of course, you can enjoy the beautiful patterns and colors of the heated toilet seat. Moreover, since the microcapsules encapsulating the pigment whose color changes with temperature are attached to the back surface of the film, the pigment is covered and protected by the microcapsules and the film, and can be seated on the toilet seat body without failure. In addition, since the film is provided on the surface of the toilet seat body with a substantially constant thickness and the heater is provided on the back surface of the toilet seat body, the surface of the toilet seat body is heated to a uniform temperature and the pigment is colored uniformly at the same temperature. It changes and the surface temperature of the toilet seat body is accurately grasped.
