Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a toilet seat cover which covers a toilet seat of a style toilet, and more particularly to a heating device incorporated in the toilet seat cover.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional heating apparatus of this type, for example, as shown in FIG. 20 is provided with an elastic cloth cover 21 on the surface thereof, and the cloth cover 21 is placed on the toilet seat 22 so that the heat generating knitted fabric 20 faces down (Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 1-97800).
Also, as shown in FIG. 6, a heating element 2 formed by kneading curable silicone rubber and carbon powder inside the toilet seat cover 23.
4 and the outer periphery thereof is sealed with an electrical insulator (Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 1-155900). In addition to the above, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 2, there is a type in which a carbon surface heating element 26 is placed in a toilet seat cover 25, its periphery is covered with a cushion material 27, and the outside thereof is covered with a PVC sheet 28.

[0003]

However, the one shown in FIG. 5 described above has the disadvantage that the heat-resistant knitted fabric 20 is a very thin single wire, so that the bending resistance is low and the wire is easily broken. Further, since the heating knitted fabric 20 and the cloth cover 21 are integrated, when the cloth seat cover 21 is soiled by the toilet, the cleaning is performed with the heating knitted fabric 20 held. Disadvantageous in that it has large practical stress and lacks practical cleaning properties.

FIG. 6 shows a self-saturated temperature control based on the positive temperature coefficient of the resistance of the carbon powder, and has a drawback that the temperature control performance cannot be maintained, such as a change in resistance due to a repeated load. is there.

[0005] Further, since none of the devices shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 has a temperature controller for a heating element, the switches and the like are not properly disposed in a practical use, and electrical and mechanical stresses are excessive. At the same time, the temperature control of the heating element relies on the self-control function of the heating element itself, and it is vulnerable to daily abnormal use such as changes in the outside world, loads, bending, overlapping, etc., and concerns about electric shock, fire, etc. There are major drawbacks.

Further, in FIG. 7, electrical and mechanical stress on the carbon surface heating element 26 is buffered by the cushion material 27 and the PVC sheet 28. Is not performed, the surface heating element 26 is bent at the time of attaching / detaching the surface heating element 26 at the time of washing the PVC sheet 28 or at the time of leaving the sheet heating element 26. .

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a heating device for a toilet seat cover which is highly safe and has excellent cleaning properties. A cord-shaped heating element having a heat-fusible resin layer on the outermost surface is used as the body, and this heating element is arranged on the surface of a base material having a heat-fusible resin layer on the same surface, and both of them are joined together. Let it fuse by heat. At this time, the base material is given a strength to suppress local bending of the cord-shaped heating element, so that the heater section is not bent when the heater section is attached / detached or left unattended during washing, etc. Etc. can be resolved.

Next, the heating element and the substrate are sandwiched between felts together with a temperature detecting element located near the heating element and heat-sealed again, and the whole of them is covered with a waterproof bag. At least the main part is housed in an inner pocket provided inside the outer cloth, and the outer cloth is detachably fixed to the surface of the toilet seat with a fixing device provided on the outer cloth. Is provided with a temperature controller for controlling the amount of heat generated by the cord-shaped heating element based on a signal from the temperature detecting element, and a hook for hooking the upper peripheral portion of the toilet body to fix the temperature controller.

Thus, it is possible to easily cope with changes and loads in the outside world, without fear of electric shock and fire, and since the temperature controller can be fixed, electric stress and mechanical stress can be eliminated.
