That is, the protrusion provided on the upper surface of the T-shaped head of the mounting member is pressed into the through-hole or the recess provided in the slide groove from the end face of the main body and fitted, so that the mounting member is the central shaft of the toilet bowl. The mounting member can be easily and surely aligned without easily moving in the direction. Therefore, when the main body is attached to the toilet bowl, it is not necessary to align the main body, and the main body can be easily attached.

Further, even if the user applies an external force to the main body or the toilet seat after attaching the main body to the toilet bowl, the convex portion of the attaching member is fitted into the through hole or the concave portion provided in the slide groove. Therefore, there is no fear that the main body and the toilet seat are easily displaced.

Further, the mounting member is removed from the main body and packaged, and when the main body is mounted on the toilet bowl, it is pressed and inserted into the slide groove of the main body, so that the packaging box becomes small and rational.

Furthermore, since the flat packing and the T-shaped head of the mounting member sandwich and fix the slide groove, the displacement of the main body and the toilet seat device can be prevented more firmly.
