Armrests 6 are arranged on the rear both sides of the closet seat 2, and the lower ends 6a of leg parts 6a of these armrests 6 are fixed to both side end parts 5a of the metallic plate 5 by using box nuts 7. A resin shock absorbing member 8 coming into contact with the rim 1a of the toilet bowl l is installed in the vicinity of a connecting part of the metallic plate 5 with the armrests 6.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a resin toilet seat installed on a rim of a Western-style toilet bowl.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There is known a toilet having an armrest on a floor or a wall in the vicinity of a toilet for assisting standing or sitting when using a Western toilet, or for improving sitting comfort.

[0003]

When an armrest is attached to a floor or a wall of a toilet, there is a problem that workability at the time of installing the toilet is deteriorated and cleaning performance of the toilet is deteriorated. The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an armrest installation measure that does not cause a decrease in workability at the time of installing a toilet or a decrease in cleanability of a toilet.

[0004]

According to the present invention, there is provided a resin toilet seat mounted on a rim of a Western-style toilet, wherein a metal plate is attached to a lower surface of the toilet seat.
The present invention provides a toilet seat characterized in that armrests are attached to both ends of a metal plate. In the present invention, the armrests are attached to the toilet seat instead of attaching the armrests to the floor or wall of the toilet. There is no. Since the metal plate is attached to the lower surface of the toilet seat, and the armrests are attached to both ends of the metal plate, the load applied to the armrest is transmitted to the metal plate. Therefore, the load applied to the armrest is directly transmitted to the resin toilet seat main body, and there is no possibility that the load is concentrated on a local portion of the toilet seat main body to damage the portion. In a preferred aspect of the present invention, a cushioning member that is in contact with the rim of the toilet bowl is attached near a connection portion between the metal plate and the armrest. The load transmitted from the armrest to the metal plate is transmitted to the rim of the toilet via a shock-absorbing member attached near a connection between the metal plate and the armrest. As a result, the bending deformation of the metal plate due to the load applied to the armrest is suppressed, and the deformation of the resin toilet seat body is suppressed. Therefore, there is no possibility that the toilet seat body is damaged.

FIG. 1 shows a toilet seat according to an embodiment of the present invention.
This will be described with reference to FIG. A toilet seat 2 made of resin is placed on a rim 1a of a western toilet 1 made of ceramic. Toilet seat 2
Is a washing nozzle 3a mounted on the rear upper surface of the Western style toilet 1
Is rotatably attached to the automatic cleaning device 3 having a hinge portion 2a. A flush water tank 4 is mounted on the upper surface of the rear end of the Western style toilet 1. A metal plate 5 is fixed to the rear lower surface of the toilet seat 2 using screws. Metal plate 5
Are projecting laterally from the toilet seat 2. Armrests 6 are arranged on both rear sides of the toilet seat 2. Armrest 6
The lower ends of the leg portions 6a are fixed to both side end portions 5a of the metal plate 5 projecting laterally from the toilet seat 2 using cap nuts 7.
A buffer member 8 made of resin, which comes into contact with the rim 1 a of the toilet 1, is attached near a connection portion between the metal plate 5 and the armrest 6.

In the toilet seat 2 according to the present embodiment, the armrest 6 is attached to the toilet seat 2 instead of attaching the armrest to the floor or the wall of the toilet. There is no danger of lowering the cleanability of the toilet. Since the armrest 6 is attached to the toilet seat 2, it is possible to raise and lower the toilet seat 2 by holding the armrest 6 without touching the toilet seat 2. Therefore, the toilet seat 2 according to the present embodiment is sanitary. Since the metal plate 5 is attached to the lower surface of the toilet seat 2 and the armrests 6 are attached to both end portions 5a of the metal plate 5, the load applied to the armrests 6 at the time of stool is limited to the metal plate 5
Is transmitted to Accordingly, there is no possibility that the load applied to the armrest 6 is directly transmitted to the resin-made toilet seat 2 main body, and there is no possibility that the load is concentrated on a local portion of the resin-made toilet seat 2 body to damage the portion.

In the vicinity of the connection between the metal plate 5 and the armrest 6,
Since the resin cushioning member 8 that is in contact with the rim 1a of the toilet bowl 1 is attached, the load transmitted from the armrest 6 to the metal plate 5 is reduced by the cushioning member 8 attached near the connection between the metal plate 5 and the armrest 6. Is transmitted to the rim 1a of the toilet 1 via the
As a result, the bending deformation of the metal plate 5 due to the load applied to the armrest 6 is suppressed, and the deformation of the resin-made toilet seat 2 body is suppressed. Therefore, there is no possibility that the body of the toilet seat 2 is damaged.

[0008]

As described above, according to the present invention, instead of attaching the armrest to the floor or wall of the toilet, the armrest is attached to the toilet seat. There is no danger of lowering the cleanability of the toilet. Since the metal plate is attached to the lower surface of the toilet seat, and the armrests are attached to both ends of the metal plate, the load applied to the armrest is transmitted to the metal plate. Therefore, the load applied to the armrest is directly transmitted to the resin toilet seat main body, and there is no possibility that the load concentrates on a local portion of the toilet seat main body to damage the portion. When the shock absorbing member is attached near the connection portion of the metal plate with the armrest, the load transmitted from the armrest to the metal plate is transmitted through the shock absorbing member attached near the connection portion of the metal plate with the armrest. , Transmitted to the rim of the toilet bowl. As a result, the bending deformation of the metal plate due to the load applied to the armrest is suppressed, and the deformation of the resin toilet seat body is suppressed.
Therefore, there is no possibility that the toilet seat body is damaged.
