2. Description of the Related Art When installing a hot water washing device for washing the human buttocks with warm water in a western-style toilet bowl, a toilet seat box is installed on the rear upper surface of the western-style toilet bowl, and a washing nozzle and various accessories (for example, a hot water tank) And control circuit boards)
May be installed.

Even when a heated toilet seat is installed, the toilet seat may be pivotally supported by the toilet seat box and a heater control device may be installed in the toilet seat box.

Such a toilet seat box is usually
A casing is composed of a case lower (for example, a base plate) and a case upper mounted so as to cover the case lower. Then, a switch is attached to the case upper, and internal devices such as a board and a transformer inside the toilet seat box are connected to the switch by a lead wire.

[0005]

When assembling such a toilet seat box, the switch and the internal device are connected by the lead wire, and then the cover is covered with the base plate and fixed with screws or the like. However, there is a problem that it is easily pinched between the edge of the case upper and the case lower and the internal equipment, resulting in poor workability.

Further, when the case upper is removed to inspect the inside of the toilet seat box, the case upper is excessively vigorously pulled even though the switch of the case upper and the internal equipment are connected by a lead wire.
Sometimes the lead wires were cut.

[0007]

A toilet seat box according to claim 1 is a casing including a case lower and a case upper detachably attached to the case lower, and is installed in the casing and attached to the case lower. In the toilet seat box for a functional toilet, which comprises: an internal device provided with the case upper part, an electric part attached to the case upper, and a lead wire connecting the electric part and the internal device, A temporary retaining member for releasing the holding of the lead wire when an external force of a predetermined amount or more is applied is provided in the vicinity, and the lead wire is held by the temporary retaining member.

A toilet seat box according to a second aspect of the present invention is characterized in that, in the first aspect, a connector is provided in the middle of the lead wire, and the connector is held by the temporary retaining member.

[0009]

In the toilet seat box of the first aspect, the lead wire is held by the temporary retaining member when the case upper is mounted. Then, the lead wire comes to be arranged at a predetermined position, and is prevented from being sandwiched between the case upper and the case lower or the internal device.

Further, when the case upper is pulled out excessively when removing it from the case lower, the lead wire is detached from the temporary retaining member before the lead wire is fully extended. When this lead wire comes off the temporary retaining member, a shock occurs, so the worker pulling up the case upper feels this shock and notices the existence of the lead wire, and after that, slowly removes the case upper. . Therefore, excessive stress is not applied to the lead wire.

In the toilet seat box according to the second aspect of the invention, the same effect can be obtained by holding the connector provided in the middle of the lead wire in the temporary retaining member. In addition,
Since the connector is usually a block made of synthetic resin, it can be easily attached to the temporary retaining member by pinching the connector.
