Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a corner box provided in a corner of a toilet.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, this kind of toilet corner box has a box-shaped main body with an upper opening, a lid support frame fitted to the peripheral edge of the upper end opening of the main body, and one end side of the lid support frame that can be opened and closed. It is generally composed of a lid pivotably supported. When using such a toilet corner box, swing the lid upward to open it, store the waste inside the main body, and then swing the lid downward to close it. I was there.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the conventional toilet corner box as described above, the lid is closed by its own weight, and when storing dirt, the main body is held with one hand and the lid is opened with one hand. It is necessary to use both hands, and there is a drawback that opening and closing the lid and storing waste are inconvenient, especially when one hand is occupied. In addition, there is also a drawback that the stored filth is scattered when the toilet corner box falls for some reason, and the lid is pushed up and opened by the filth when a large amount of filth is stored. It was

The present invention has been made to solve the above drawbacks, and an object of the present invention is to provide a toilet corner box capable of opening and closing the lid and storing dirt easily and reliably. It is a thing.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a box-shaped main body having an upper opening, a lid support frame fitted to a peripheral edge of an upper end opening of the main body, and a lid support frame that can be opened and closed to swing. In a toilet corner box provided with a pivotally supported lid, a biasing means for resiliently biasing the lid in the opening direction and a lid support frame that can be bound to the lid support frame in a closed state, and from the outside. The restraint means is provided so that the restraint state can be released by the operation of.

[0006]

[Action]

 The toilet corner box of the present invention is installed in the corner of the toilet floor. When storing dirt in this toilet corner box, if the restraint state between the lid and the lid support frame is released by operating the restraining means, the lid is opened by the biasing means, so that the dirt is put inside the main body. Can be stored. Next, when the lid is swung until it is in the closed state, the lid is constrained by the constraining means to the lid support frame and the closed state is maintained. Therefore, even if the toilet corner box falls, the stored waste does not scatter, and even if the stored waste becomes large, the lid does not push up the lid and open it.

[0007]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a perspective view of a toilet corner box according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 1 with a lid open, and FIG. It is a bottom view of a lid support frame.

The toilet corner box 1 has a main body 2 formed of a synthetic resin in the shape of a substantially rectangular box having an upper opening as a waste storage space, and a synthetic resin is formed on a peripheral portion of an upper end opening of the main body 2. The lid supporting frame 3 is fitted. A lid 5 is pivotally supported on the lid support frame 3 so that the lid 5 can be opened and closed and pivoted about a pair of left and right pivots 4 as fulcrums.

A coil portion of a torsion coil spring 6 is loosely fitted to the pivot 4 as a biasing means, and one end of the torsion coil spring 6 is provided on the lid support frame 3 and the other side is provided on the lid 5. It is abutted against the spring bearing plate 7 that has been fixed. The lid support frame 3 is provided with an abutting projection 3a that abuts the spring receiving plate 7 when the lid supporting frame 3 is opened.

Further, a hook 8 is formed so as to protrude downward at a central portion of the front peripheral edge of the lid 5, and a hooking piece 8 a is formed so as to protrude toward the front side at a tip portion of the hook 8. . The front wall of the engaging piece 8a is an inclined surface that extends obliquely downward and rearward. In addition, the lid support frame 3 is formed with a hooking projection 9 that hooks with the hooking piece 8a of the hook 8 when the lid is closed, and the hook 8 (hooking piece 8a) and the hooking projection 9 restrain the lid 5 from each other. Is configured. Further, a receiving plate 10 that abuts the lower surface of the front peripheral edge of the lid 5 when the lid supporting frame 3 is in the closed state is provided so as to project inward, and the upper surface front side of the lid supporting frame 3 is A restraint release plate 12 having the pivot portion 11 as a swing pivot point is attached.

At the center of the lower surface of the restraint release plate 12, a pressing body 13 extends obliquely rearward and downward, and the tip of the pressing body 13 has a front surface of the hooking piece 8a of the hook 8 when the lid is closed. It comes in contact with the wall.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described. In the closed state, the lid 5 is restrained by the lid support frame 3 by the engagement piece 8a of the hook 8 and the engagement protrusion 9 engaging with each other. When the restraint release plate 12 is pushed down from this state, the restraint release plate 12 swings around the pivotal support portion 11 as a fulcrum, and the tip of the pressing body 13 pushes the hook 8 backward, so that the hook formed of synthetic resin is used. 8 is bent, the engagement between the engagement piece 8a and the engagement projection 9 is released, and the restrained state of the lid 5 is released.

As a result, the spring receiving plate 7 of the lid 5 is pushed down by the elastic force of the torsion coil spring 6, and the lid 5 makes the spring receiving plate 7 and the abutting projection 3a collide with the pivot 4 as a fulcrum. Since it swings to the position where it fits and the lid is opened (see FIG. 3), the dirt is stored in the main body 2 through the opening. When the storage is completed, if the lid 5 is swung downward, the engaging piece 8a and the engaging projection 9 are engaged, the lid 5 is restrained by the lid support frame 3, and the closed state is maintained again. It will be.

In the present embodiment, the lid 5 is opened only by pushing down the restraint release plate 12, so that the lid can be easily opened with one hand, and even when the one hand is closed, the lid can be opened and closed and dirt can be collected. Very convenient to store. Needless to say, the embodiment of the biasing means and the restraining means is not limited to this embodiment.

[0015]

[Effect of device]

 In the toilet corner box according to the present invention, the lid is automatically opened by the urging means only by operating the restraint means from the outside to release the restraint state between the lid and the lid support frame, so that it can be performed with only one hand. By opening the lid, it is easier to open and close the lid and store waste compared to the conventional toilet corner box, which normally used both hands to open and close the lid and store waste. Also, in the closed state, the lid is restrained by the lid support frame by the restraint means, so even if the toilet corner box falls over for some reason, the stored waste does not scatter and the stored waste is Even if the amount becomes large, the lid does not push up and open due to dirt.
