2. Description of the Related Art In general, a flush toilet seat device is a flush water injection mechanism (anal flush mechanism mainly for anus flush and a bidet flush mechanism mainly for female flush) for washing a human body local area after toilet, hot water accumulating flush water. A tank, a warm air drying mechanism for drying the human body part after washing, a deodorizing mechanism, etc. are built in, and a mechanism housing part located at the rear of the toilet bowl, and rotatably pivoted to the mechanism housing part, and a toilet bowl when in use. Similarly, it comprises a toilet seat that is used as a seat for seating, and a toilet lid that is pivotally supported by the mechanism housing part in the same manner and is tilted rearward when used and closed when the toilet is not used. It is configured as an integrated product (hereinafter referred to as the main body device), and the main body device is firmly installed in the toilet bowl by fixing the mechanism housing portion to the toilet bowl by fastening means such as bolts and nuts.

Specifically, a through hole into which the bolt of the fastening means is inserted is formed in the rear of the toilet bowl, and several bolts are inserted through the through hole to tighten the nut. Therefore, when the mechanism inside the mechanism housing is malfunctioning or when it is desired to clean the dirt clogging the gap with the toilet bowl, the bolts and nuts of the fastening means must be removed in order to remove the main body apparatus from the toilet bowl.

However, since the fastening means is located behind the toilet bowl, this dismounting work must be carried out in a flat posture by turning around to the low tank side. Furthermore, when cleaning the back surface of the body, hold the body by hand. However, it is necessary to support it so that the main body device does not fall from the toilet bowl by completely standing it up. However, the flush toilet seat device is a heavy load, and the flush water tank (hot water tank) is built into one side. Therefore, it is difficult to balance left and right.

By the way, the general catalog ('
95.2) describes that a plate that can be engaged and disengaged with a main body device is attached to a toilet bowl, and the main body device is removed from the toilet bowl by engaging and disengaging the main body device and the plate without removing the bolts and nuts. However, in the device of this catalog, when the main body device is removed from the plate, the main body device is simply placed on the toilet bowl, and it is necessary to consider left and right balance.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art. It can be slid and tilted while the main body device is restrained on the toilet without the work of removing the bolt and nut. It is an issue to be solved to provide a wash toilet seat device that does not need to consider the left-right balance and is easily handled.

[0010]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The present invention will be described below based on an embodiment shown in FIGS. As shown in FIG.
The flush toilet seat device includes a main body device 3 in which a toilet seat 1 and a toilet lid 2 are rotatably supported, and a toilet device in the main body device 3 with the main body device 3 installed on a toilet bowl and always restrained on the toilet bowl. The plate 4 is mainly composed of a plate 4 which is capable of sliding on the surface in the front-rear direction A and tilting about an axis B (hereinafter, referred to as a tilt axis) orthogonal to the front-rear direction A.

The main body device 3 has a recess 5 in the rear lower corner portion thereof, and projections 6 and 6 are formed from the opposite side surfaces of the recess 5 in the front-rear direction A and the tilt axis B direction. , 6
Fits into a guide groove provided in the plate 4 described later. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a support shaft member 7 extending in the axis B direction at substantially the same position as the protrusions 6 and 6 is fixed to the opposite side surface of the main body device 3. Has a spring 10 at one end and one end outside the main body device 3 at the other end (hereinafter referred to as a release button 8a).
An operation bar 8 as an external operation means protruding from the above is loosely fitted so as to be movable in the axis B direction. The operation bar 8 is prevented from rotating and a pair of hooks 8b and 8b extend rearward as shown in FIG. The pair of hooks 8b, 8b can be freely engaged with and disengaged from claws 9, 9 as chucking means provided on the plate side described later. still,
In the present embodiment, the hooks that can be engaged and disengaged with the chucking means are the pair of hooks 8a and 8b, but the hooks need not be limited to this, and for example, only one hook can fulfill its function. I wish I had it.

Further, a lever 11 urged in a standing direction by a torsion spring (not shown) is mounted on the lower surface of the main body device 3. The lever 11 holds the tilted state of the main body device 3 when the main body device 3 is tilted, and when the lower surface of the main body device 3 is in close contact with the toilet surface, the lever 11 depends on the weight of the main body device 3. It is closed so that it faces down.

Therefore, the plate 4 is the low tank 1
The bolts 13 and 13 and the nuts 14 and 14 are fixed to the rear part of the toilet unit which is integral with the unit 2 by fastening means. That is, in the rear of the toilet bowl, there are formed elongated holes 15, 15 for adjusting the position in the front-rear direction A corresponding to the fastening means, and the bolts 13, 13 are used for the elongated holes 15, 1.
The plate 4 is fixed on the toilet by inserting it through the plate 5 and tightening the knob nuts 14, 14 from the lower side.

The plate 4 has guide grooves 16 and 16 engaged with the projections 6 and 6 on the main unit side (see FIG. 3).
Are formed in the front-rear direction A. This guide groove 16, 16
Has a function of determining the sliding stroke of the main body device 3 and holding the main body device 3 in a state of being always restrained on the toilet bowl. By the way, at the rear end positions of the guide grooves 16, 16 in the plate 4, claws 9, 9 for engaging the hooks 8b, 8b and chucking the main body device 3 are provided. These claws 9, 9 and hooks 8b,
8b is configured so that the respective slopes allow smooth engagement, and in the engaged state, the spring 10 is operated by the operation rod 8b.
Is maintained in the right direction of the axis B (right direction in FIG. 2) by the pressing force.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. The two-dot chain line in FIG. 4 shows the state when the main body device 3 is in the normal use position. Toilet bowl 1 from this state
When cleaning the gap between 7 and the main body device 3, first, the release button 8a is pressed to slightly shift the operating bar 8 to the left of the axis B (upward left in FIG. 2) against the force of the spring 10. .
As a result, the positions of the claws 9 and 9 and the hooks 8b and 8b are shifted, and the engagement between the claws 9 and 9 and the hooks 8b and 8b is released. By pulling the main body device 3 forward in this shift state, the protrusions 6 and 6 move the guide groove 16 to the front end side, and the plate 4 releases the chucking of the main body device 3. Then, as shown by the solid line in FIG. 4, the main body device 3 can be slid forward. For sliding forward, the projections 6,
It becomes impossible because 6 is located at the front end of the guide groove 16.

The state indicated by the chain double-dashed line in FIG. 5 is the same as the state indicated by the solid line in FIG. 4, and shows the main body device 3 when the sliding is impossible. If you cannot slide the main unit 3,
Next, the toilet seat side of the main body device 3 is lifted. Again,
Since the protrusions 6 and 6 are fitted in the guide groove 16, the main body device 3 is not likely to be detached from the toilet bowl. Now, when the toilet seat side of the main body device 3 is lifted, the lever 10 stands up from the lower surface of the main body device 3 according to the tilt angle, and the main body device 3 is held at the maximum tilt angle while the tip of the lever 10 abuts on the toilet bowl. . The solid line in FIG. 5 shows the main body device 3 which holds the above-described maximum tilting angle.

When the main body device 3 tilts in this manner, a large space for cleaning is formed between the upper rear surface of the toilet bowl and the lower surface of the main body device 3. On the other hand, when the main body device 3 is returned to the original use position, the protrusions 6 and 6 are moved into
Since it can be tilted at any arbitrary position, the two behaviors of pushing the main body device 3 backward while pushing down the toilet seat side of the main body device 3 are combined, and the projections 6 and 6 are restrained by the guide groove 16 When the protrusions 6 and 6 reach the rear end of the guide groove 16, the hooks 8b and 8b are fitted with the claws 9 and 9, and the main body device 3 is moved to the side. To be king.

As described above, in the main body device 3 of the present flush toilet seat device, the main body device 3 is always restrained by the plate 4, there is no risk of detachment from the toilet bowl, and it is possible to concentrate on the work without the need to consider the left-right balance. , When the main body device 3 is slid or tilted, without lifting the whole main body device,
It is extremely easy to handle. Further, in the present embodiment, since the lever 10 is provided, it is not necessary to support the main body device 3 even during cleaning. However, even when the lever 10 is not provided, when the main body device 3 is tilted. As long as the upper end P of the mechanism housing 3a (see FIG. 5) is in contact with the low tank 12, the same effect as when the lever 10 is provided is obtained.

The above embodiment is an example, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.
For example, the relationship between the guide groove and the protrusion may be reversed, and
The external operation means is not essential, and for example, a means for switching between the chucked state and the unchucked state by the cycle stroke operation may be used.

[0020]

As described above, according to the present invention, the work of removing the bolt and nut is not required, and the sliding and tilting can be freely performed while the main body device is restrained on the toilet bowl. Therefore, the main body device, which is a heavy object, can be easily handled. Particularly, in the second aspect, it is possible to realize the state in which the main body device is restrained on the toilet with an extremely simple configuration including a combination of the guide and the protrusion.

Further, according to the third aspect, the tilted state of the main body device is reliably maintained, and the handling becomes better.
