And a pair of left and right rear fittings 55,5 that are narrower than the front fitting 54.
Forming 5 and. On the other hand, at the lower end of the side wall portion 100, as shown in FIG. 4, two convex front fitting portions 101, 101 that fit into the front fitting portion 54 of the top plate 50 and the rear side of the top plate 50. Two convex rear fitting portions 102, 102 that fit into the fitting portion 52
And form.

As shown in FIG. 3, a mounting hole 31 through which the handle mounting screw 120 passes is formed on the front surface of the infant seat 30 as shown in FIG. 3, and as shown in FIG. A screw 120 is screwed into the handle 60 so that it can be fixed. On the other hand, the lower surface of the handle 60 is shown in FIG.
The cylindrical boss 61 into which the screw 120 is screwed in, as shown in
Is formed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the lower surface of the infant toilet seat 30 is formed with four leg portions 32 which are respectively fitted into the four engaging holes 91 of the toilet bowl body 20. Each leg 32 has a cylindrical shape, and its diameter is set to be equal to or less than the inner diameter of the locking hole 91. Further, for example, when the elastic member 130 made of rubber is fitted to the tip end portion of each leg 32 and the infant toilet seat 30 is placed on the Western style toilet seat 41 of the Western style toilet 40, as shown in FIG.
130 is elastically abutted on the upper surface of the Western style toilet seat 41.

As shown in FIG. 3, a pair of left and right fixing holes 33 to which the fixture 80 is attached are formed, and as shown in FIGS.
The fasteners 80 are fixed to the respective fasteners using the fastener mounting screws 140. In addition, a pair of front and rear slide rails 34, 3 that guide the fixture 80 slidably are provided in front of and behind each of the fixing holes 33.
Forming four.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, each fixing member 80 has a substantially bridge shape, and a long hole 81 extending in the left and right direction through which the screw 140 passes is formed on the upper surface thereof. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, in each fixing tool 80, the screws 140 relatively move left and right along the long hole 81, so that the left and right fixing tools 80 are attached to the infant seat 30. On the other hand, it can be slid individually in the left-right direction.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11, between the front and rear slide rails 34 and the upper surface of the fixture 80 slidably contacting the slide rails 34, the corrugated portions 35 and 82 are intermeshed with each other.
One side is formed on each side so that the fixture 80 does not slide carelessly. As shown in FIG. 11, each fixture 80 contacts the inner edge of the opening of the western-style toilet seat 41 of the western-style toilet 40,
This is to prevent the infant seat 30 from rattling. Further, the reason why the fixture 80 is slidable is that the shape of the Western-style toilet seat 41 differs depending on the manufacturer.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the handle 60 has a shape simulating a mouse head, and a portion corresponding to the ear thereof is used as a grip portion 62 so that an infant can grasp it. Further, on the upper surface of the lid 70, as shown in FIGS.
A handle 71 is formed so that it can be gripped when attaching or detaching. Next, the procedure for using the infant toilet 10 having the above-described configuration will be described below.

When the infant can use the western style toilet 40, the infant toilet seat 30 is removed from the toilet bowl body 20 and placed on the western style toilet seat 41 of the western style toilet 40 as shown in FIG. At this time, the left and right fixtures 80 of the infant toilet seat 30 are inserted into the toilet seat opening of the western-style toilet seat 41, as shown in FIG. At this time, the left and right fixtures 80 come into contact with the inner edges of the Western-style toilet seat 41, so that the infant toilet seat 30 can be fixed without play.

At this time, if the left and right fixtures 80 are separated from the inner edge of the western-style toilet seat 41 or interfere with the upper surface of the toilet seat, loosen the fixture attachment screws 140 to fix the fixture 8
0 is slid and the fixture 80 is adjusted along the inner edge of the Western style toilet seat 41. Toilet seat for infants placed on Western style toilet seat 41
When raising or lowering the infant to or from 30, the adult may lift the infant to sit on the infant toilet seat 30, or the toilet bowl body 20 may be used as a step, as shown in FIG.

When the toilet bowl body 20 is used as a step, the top plate 50 is removed from the bottom of the toilet bowl body 20. Next, as shown in FIG. 12, the top plate 50 is placed on the toilet bowl body 20. At this time, the four engaging projections 52 of the top plate 50 are inserted from above in alignment with the respective locking holes 91 of the toilet bowl body 20. Then, by pressing the top plate 50 toward the toilet bowl body 20, the four engaging projections 52 are press-fitted into the respective locking holes 91. This prevents the top plate 50 from coming off the toilet bowl body 20.

After that, the toilet bowl body 20 is placed next to the Western-style toilet 40 as shown in FIG.
You can put your foot on top of 50 and use the body 20 of the toilet bowl as a step. When the handle 60 of the infant toilet seat 30 is no longer needed, it can be removed from the infant toilet seat 30 by loosening the handle mounting screw 120.

In the embodiment shown in the drawings, the rib 51 of the top plate 50 and the locking piece 94 of the toilet bowl body 20 are used to make the top plate.
The 50 is fixed to the bottom of the toilet bowl body 20, but not limited to this,
Between the toilet bowl body 20 and the top plate 50, one of the concave and convex portions that engage with each other may be formed in each. Further, the top plate 50 may be screwed to the toilet bowl body 20. Further, the engaging projections 52 of the top plate 50 are press-fitted into the locking holes 91 of the toilet bowl body 20, but without using the locking holes 91 of the toilet bowl body 20, the toilet bowl body 20 and the top plate 50 are Between the two, one of the concavo-convex portions that engage with each other may be formed in each.

Furthermore, when the toilet bowl body 20 is used as a step, the handle 60 may be dimensioned so that the removed handle 60 can be stored inside the tub. , You can save yourself the trouble of storing the handle 60.
