Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a toilet installation device useful for constructing a toilet bowl.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when constructing a Western-style flush toilet, for example, a floor flange is fixed to a drain pipe that opens to the floor and a toilet fixing bolt is erected on this floor flange. Connect the outlet of the main body to the drainage pipe through the floor flange, and insert the toilet bowl fixing bolt into the bolt insertion hole of the flange provided at the lower end of the toilet bowl to fix the toilet bowl to the floor. There is a method of mounting and fixing on.

By the way, since the outlet of the toilet body is generally opened in the middle of the bottom of the toilet body, its position cannot be confirmed by being hidden from above or from the side of the toilet body. In the case of construction, it was difficult to accurately connect the floor flange fixed to the floor surface and the outlet and at the same time insert the toilet fixing bolt into the bolt insertion hole of the toilet body. Therefore, conventionally, for example, a positioning sheet is drawn on the floor surface in advance, for example, the outer peripheral line of the lower end of the toilet body, the flange position indicating line, the toilet fixing bolt indicating line, etc. are laid on the floor surface. There is a method of accurately installing the floor on the floor.

[0004]

However, even when the indicating means such as the positioning sheet is used as described above, the toilet body is placed on the floor so as to be exactly aligned with the indicating line drawn on the sheet. There is no effective means other than visual confirmation with an unreasonable posture while lifting the toilet body,
Still, it was not easy to install the toilet body. Moreover, because the toilet bowl fixing bolts have been installed upright on the floor surface, it was not possible to shift the position of the toilet bowl body while keeping it on the floor to match the instruction line, and therefore the position was displaced. In this case, there was a problem that the work had to be redone from the beginning.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a toilet installation device capable of easily and accurately installing the toilet body on the floor surface.

[0006]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the toilet installation device of the present invention has an opening for connecting a floor drain and a toilet outlet, and a lower end front edge of the toilet body. A mounting base having a front support portion that rotatably supports, a guide rail provided in the front-rear direction on one of the bottom of the toilet body or the above-mentioned mounting base, and a base end portion that rotates to the bottom of the toilet body or the other of the above-mentioned mounting base A link that is freely pivoted,
A slide fitting provided at the tip of the link and slidably engaged with the guide rail; and a lower end front edge portion of the toilet body rotatably supported by the front support portion of the mounting base. As a fulcrum, the rear side of the toilet body supported by the link is rotated and lowered while being guided by sliding the slide fitting along the guide rail so that the toilet body is placed on the floor. It is characterized by having done.

In the present invention, the toilet main body can be placed at a predetermined position on the floor by lowering the rear side of the toilet main body while guiding the lower end front edge of the toilet main body with a link as a fulcrum. In this case, the guide rail and the link are provided separately on the bottom of the toilet body and the mounting base, and any combination may be used. Also, by rotating the link in a direction coinciding with the guide rail, in conjunction with this, the toilet body can be lowered and placed on the floor,
At this time, the slide fitting may be slid in either the front or rear direction with respect to the guide rail.
