JPH10121545A - Preventive material against splashing of water in western style flush toilet - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the function, by setting a spherical body afloat which is larger than the diameter of the drain opening and on which an uneven pattern or protrusions are formed at the surface, on the retained water face of a wastern style flush toilet. SOLUTION: A toilet ball set aflaot in a washing-out type toilet bowl with a narrow retaining water face always covers the drop position of feces. Since feces shink in the bottom after the feces have hit the ball, water is prevented from splashing. In this time, since the ball has an uneven surface 11, it is rotated and filth stuck thereon is removed. In a siphon type toilet with a wide retaining water face, most parts of the ball diameter sink and the protrusions on the ball contact the bottom of the toilet and it covers the drop position of feces. It does not rotate, the exposed part above the water level is lessened to reduce the part directly hit by feces. When it is sucked toward the discharge opening, the decrease of the sectional area of passing water is prevented by the protrusions. The surface of the ball is made of an antibacterial and adhesive material-peelable resin and a containing part 14 for a medical substance like a water-soluble aromatic or the like is formed in the inside. In this way, a self- cleaning function of the ball can be increased and feces can be securely drained.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a water splash prevention material for preventing a water splash from occurring when defecation is performed with a Western flush toilet. In the following description, "water splash prevention object"
This is called "toilet ball."

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The following are disclosed as relevant to the present application. JP-A-60-219337; JP-A-63-277330; JP-A-08-60725; JP-A-08-199653;

[0003]

The present invention is an improvement on these prior arts, and has the following objects.
(B) The toilet bowl is easily rotated by the force of defecation, and the cleaning effect of the toilet bowl itself is enhanced. (B) Suction is performed at the time of drainage, and it does not hinder drainage by sticking to the drain outlet. (C) Even if the toilet is of a siphon type or the like having a large reservoir surface, make sure that the toilet bowl does not approach the end. (D) It is difficult for dirt to adhere. (E) It provides comfort in terms of smell and sight.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems According to claim 1. See FIG. 1 and FIG. The present invention corresponds to (a) of the above-mentioned problem, and is mainly used for a flush-type toilet having a narrow pool surface. As a configuration, an irregular pattern is provided on the surface of a substantially spherical body that is larger than the diameter of the drain port and has buoyancy.

[0005] The "irregular pattern" may be a streak or ring shape, in addition to a surface like a golf ball. It has a high resistance to defecation and has the effect of easily causing twirl.

The term "substantially spherical" means not only a true sphere but also a cube having rounded corners, a rugby ball, or a chicken egg. It is something that is easy.

It is desirable that the diameter of the toilet bowl is slightly larger than the radius of the pool surface so that even if the toilet ball approaches the edge of the pool surface, the toilet bowl will fall and defecate. If it is too large, it will cover the water surface and the stool will not easily fall under the toilet bowl. As a result of experiments, approximately 8 to 9 centimeters is appropriate.

It is desirable that the toilet ball be light in weight, have a low draft (the depth of the underwater portion) and a large buoyancy.
It does not sink by falling stool or drainage flow, and does not cover drainage outlets.

According to claim 2. See FIG. 3 and FIG. This corresponds to the above problems (a), (b) and (c).
A plurality of convex portions are provided on the surface of a substantially spherical body having buoyancy so that a surface connecting the tips of the convex portions has a substantially spherical shape. In other words, it is like a spotted portion of a soccer ball made convex.

The "plurality of projections" may be band-shaped, as well as independent projections such as spikes of soccer shoes. When the toilet bowl approaches the bottom of the toilet bowl, the space in the concave portion between the root of the convex portion and the distal end may serve as a cross section for drainage at the time of drainage. In addition, it is good to arrange | position a convex part in the state which the center of gravity of a spherical body is not biased. In addition, it is preferable that the convex portion has an appropriate diameter and height so that the toilet paper does not get entangled, and the shape of the tip is rounded.

The diameter of the toilet bowl and the draft will be described. For toilets such as siphons with a large ponds,
In a toilet ball that is light and has a small draft as shown in FIG. 1, falling defecation does not occur when approaching the end. In order to solve this, a required draft is secured so that the convex portion of the underwater portion of the toilet ball touches the bottom of the toilet bowl. This ensures that the toilet bowl always covers the center of the water surface, no matter where it is.

According to claim 3. This corresponds to the problem (d). The surface of the substantially spherical body having buoyancy and having a diameter larger than the diameter of the discharge port is made of a material which has an antibacterial effect and hardly adheres dirt. As a method, the molding material itself is made to be antibacterial, or the surface is coated with an antibacterial material so as to prevent adhered germs from growing and becoming dirty. Also, a silicone coating such as a release paper of a double-sided adhesive tape is used to make it difficult for feces and the like to adhere.

According to claim 4. This corresponds to (e) of the above problem. A drug such as a water-soluble fragrance is charged into the product according to claims 1 to 3. "Drugs such as fragrances"
Examples include detergents, deodorants, and colorants that provide comfort.
Although there is no particular limitation on the method of preparation, it is preferable to use a toilet ball that gradually dissolves over a long period of time.

It is common to each claim that (a) the skin on the surface is smooth and waterproof so that dirt does not easily adhere and permeate. Further, it is preferable that the surface shape is continuous with a smooth line, and the corner portions where dirt easily adheres are not formed. (B) Further, in order to enhance the cleaning effect of the toilet ball itself by rotation, it is preferable that the center of gravity and the buoyancy coincide. (C) The hardness of the sphere needs to be such that it does not deform due to the suction pressure at the time of drainage or the like and does not bite into the drain port.

[0015]

FIG. The state in which the toilet bowl of claim 1 is floated on a flush toilet is shown. What is a wash-off ceremony?
Water is drained only from the top to remove waste. The feature of this type is that the water level is narrower than the siphon type. Therefore, if a toilet ball having a diameter of about 9 cm is used, the falling position of the bowel movement is always covered even when approaching the end.

The use situation will be described. The dropped stool hits the toilet bowl and sinks in the water. This does not cause water splashing. At this time, since the spherical toilet ball rotates, it cleans itself and removes attached dirt. In addition, the wastewater flow after being used is washed while being rubbed while being rubbed. It should be noted that the toilet bowl with a small draft as shown in FIG. 1 has a large buoyancy and will not be sucked during drainage.

See FIG. To increase the resistance to stool and urine hits and make it easier to rotate, the surface of the toilet bowl is made uneven. It is a form like a softball baseball.

[0018] The medicine storage section is cylindrical from the surface toward the center. The surface part is open, and the medicine charged inside comes into contact with the pool water and begins to melt.

See FIG. Claim 2 for siphon type toilet
This shows a state where a toilet ball is floated. In this type of toilet, a siphoning action is forcibly performed to suck out stored water and to drain waste. As a feature, the pool surface is wide, so in a toilet bowl with a shallow draft,
Defecation of falling does not hit. To solve this, most of the diameter is submerged. Even when approaching the end, the convex portion of the toilet bowl hits the bottom of the toilet bowl, and always covers the drop position of the stool. Also, in this type of toilet bowl, the toilet bowl is rubbed by the drainage flow and is not washed. So,
The exposed part on the water is reduced, and the part directly hit by defecation is reduced.

The projection has the following function. Siphon-type toilets lower the water level while drained water is drained during drainage. At this time, most toilet balls having a small buoyancy that sinks are sucked into the drainage port, and the cross section of the water flow is reduced, and the drainage is easily hindered. The projections serve to prevent this.

This operation will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a plan sectional view showing a state in which a toilet ball is close to a drain port. The convex portion of the toilet bowl hits the curved surface of the bottom of the toilet bowl, and a space formed between the curved surface of the bottom of the toilet bowl and the concave portion of the toilet bowl can be secured as a cross section of water passage. Therefore, necessary and sufficient drainage becomes possible.

[0022]

【The invention's effect】

(B) Corresponding to claim 1. The unevenness of the toilet bowl surface increases the resistance when the bowel hits and increases the rotation. This improves the cleaning of the toilet bowl itself. (B) According to claim 2. a. At the time of drainage, when the toilet bowl is drawn into the drain port at the bottom of the toilet bowl, the concave portion secures a water passage section, so that drainage is ensured. b. When stool hits the convex part, the rotation is improved and the self-cleaning action is enhanced. c. If the draft is the same, the weight can be reduced as compared with a thing of the same diameter without a convex part. (C) According to claim 3. The surface of the toilet bowl is less likely to become dirty due to the propagation of bacteria and the attachment of dirt. (D) Corresponding to claim 4. Increased olfactory and visual comfort.
