[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a local flushing tool for cleaning the anus after use of a toilet by using water in a water storage tank of a water storage type flush toilet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art After toilet, the excretion part adhering to the anus is generally removed by wiping with toilet paper, but recently, cleaning water is sprayed from the lower part of the toilet bowl to wash the local area. There has been proposed an electric cleaning device.

[0003]

By the way, wiping with a toilet paper results in spreading and expanding by scraping off excrement, and it is extremely difficult to reliably remove excrement and it is unsanitary. It consumes a lot of paper, which is uneconomical.

In the case of frequent stools such as diarrhea,
Repeated wiping with paper will damage the skin in the anus.

Next, the electric cleaning device requires piping work, and since the device is composed of a pump, a motor and their control devices, the structure becomes complicated and expensive, and the purchase of the device is required. And a large amount of expense is required for installation.

Further, since the electric washing device sprays the washing water upward from a certain position, the user must move the hips to adjust the position, and the washing water also splashes outside the local area. It is uneconomical because of the large water consumption.

Further, when the anus is cleansed by rubbing the anus with the fingertips, water is splashed on the surface of the hand and the hand becomes an obstacle, and the rubbing cannot be cleaned.

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to reliably wash the local area with a small amount of water, to easily wash off the excrement adhering to the anus, and to require a drive source and electric power at all. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a local washing implement having a simple structure and being extremely inexpensive.

[0009]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention adopts a construction in which an opening / closing means and a cleaning nozzle located at the tip of the opening / closing means are provided on the tip side of the siphon tube. It was done.

In the present invention, either one of the opening / closing means and the cleaning nozzle may be provided with a nozzle cleaning water outflow portion for discharging a part of the cleaning water to the outer periphery of the cleaning nozzle when the opening / closing means is opened.

[0011]

Install and keep the water inside the siphon tube.

Water is stored in the siphon tube by filling the tube with water from the rear end side before insertion into the tank, or by opening and closing the opening and closing means with the rear end inserted into the tank. The water in the tank may be sucked out by suction from the side, and then the opening / closing means may be closed. This only needs to be done once at first and is then automatically inhaled by siphoning.

In order to wash the anus after use, the opening / closing means is held by hand and the tip of the washing nozzle is directed toward the anus, and when the opening / closing means is opened, the water in the siphon tube flows out from the washing nozzle. At this time, due to the siphon effect due to the height difference between the water storage tank and the washing nozzle, the water in the water storage tank is sucked into the siphon tube and flows out, which causes the washing water to continuously eject from the washing nozzle to wash the anus. Rinse away the attached waste.

At this time, the anus and the inside thereof may be washed with a fingertip, and the washing water is supplied from above the fingertip.
The fingertips will be surely washed.

When the washing is completed, the opening / closing means is closed, the opening / closing means and the washing nozzle are hung on a holder at a position higher than the tank, the siphon tube is hung below the tank, and water in the anus is sucked with paper. Just wipe it lightly.

When the opening / closing means 3 is operated in a valve-opening state in this state, the washing water filled in the siphon tube 2 becomes
It flows out to the cleaning nozzle 4 through the opening / closing means 3.

Since the positions of the opening / closing means 3 and the washing nozzle 4 are below the water storage tank 6, the washing water in the siphon tube 2 surely flows out to the washing nozzle 4 and the negative water in the tube 2 caused by this outflow. A suction force is generated in the tube 2 by the pressure, and the water in the water storage tank 6 is sucked by the siphon action and continuously flows out.

Since the cleaning nozzle 4 is an orifice having a small diameter toward the tip, the cleaning water becomes a strong water flow and vigorously flows out. If this water flow is applied to the anus, it adheres to the anus due to the squirting water flow. The excreted waste can be washed off without fail.

Then, by further rubbing the outside of the anus or the inside of the anus with the fingertip of the other hand, the inside of the anus can be surely washed, and the anus can be effectively strengthened by the friction stimulus. You can At the time of the above cleaning, a part of cleaning water flows out to the outer peripheral surface of the cleaning nozzle 4 to clean the outer peripheral surface of the nozzle 4, so that the cleaning nozzle 4 is not contaminated with excrement. ,
You can always keep it clean.

Further, since the washing water is supplied to the anus from the position on the front side and drops downward, the hand does not get in the way when rubbing the anus with the hand, and the washing nozzle 4 is held by the hand. Since it faces the anus with, you can surely apply the water flow to the anus, wet other parts than necessary,
There is no need to move the hips.

After cleaning, the opening / closing means 3 is closed to stop the outflow of cleaning water. The cleaning water is accumulated in the siphon tube 2, and the opening / closing means 3 and the cleaning nozzle 4 are held. Lock to 8.

After that, the anus part may be wiped off lightly with a toilet paper as if sucking water, and since only the anus part is wet, the usage amount of the paper is extremely small.

Although the amount of water used for cleaning is small, no problem occurs even if the water is continuously used because the water tank 6 is automatically supplied with the float valve.

In the illustrated embodiment, the opening / closing means 3 and the cleaning nozzle 4 are provided at the tip of the siphon tube 2, but the opening / closing means 3 may be omitted and the cleaning nozzle 4 may be directly attached to the tip of the tube 2. Of course, in this case, the water storage tank 6 is limited to use of a low tank, and the tip of the cleaning nozzle 4 may be closed with a fingertip after being removed from the holder 8 or after cleaning.

[0062]

As described above, according to the present invention, since it has the above-mentioned structure, the following effects can be obtained.

(I) Since the water in the water storage tank of the flush toilet is siphoned to wash the anus, the tap water piping system is unnecessary and the anus is flushed without using any drive source or electricity. Therefore, the anus can be cleaned after the stool at a low cost.

(II) Since only the opening / closing means and the cleaning nozzle are attached to the tip of the siphon tube, the structure is simple and the cost can be provided at a low cost.

(III) It is possible to accurately apply the washing water to the anus with the washing nozzle held by hand, and it is possible to wash off the attached excrement with a small amount of washing water, thereby reducing the water consumption. It does not need to wet other parts unnecessarily and consumes less toilet paper for wiping.

(IV) The anus can be rubbed with a fingertip. In this case, since the wash water spills out from the upper part, both the anus and the hands are clean, which is the same as washing the hands on the washbasin.

(V) Since the outer peripheral surface of the cleaning nozzle is self-cleaned, it is hygienic and does not cause any discomfort during use.
