It is a toilet device characterized by having.

[0007] For this reason, the armrest body slowly descends, so that it does not come into contact with the floor surface or the user very well, so that an impact sound is not generated.

[0008] In order to solve the above technical problem, the technical means (hereinafter referred to as second technical means) taken in claim 2 of the present invention is that the armrest main body comprises a base and an armrest body. 2. An adjusting means comprising a leg, the length of which is adjustable.
It is a toilet device as described.

Therefore, an armrest main body suitable for the user's physique is constructed and has an effect of being easy to use and safe.

In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problem, the technical means (hereinafter referred to as third technical means) taken in claim 3 of the present invention is that the shock-absorbing means has a viscous The toilet apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the lowering of the armrest body is buffered by filling with the fluid.

Therefore, in order to use the above buffer means,
It is simple in structure, easy to miniaturize, inexpensive and lightweight. In addition, since there are few moving parts, there is an effect that operation noise is small.

[0012]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.
The description will be made based on the drawings of FIGS.

A base plate 9 having fixing holes 2a and 2b formed in the width direction of the toilet 40 installed on the floor 4 is provided. The base plate 9 has a main body 91 formed in a U-shape and bearings 9a and 9b integrally provided on both sides.

The hot water washing device 5 comprises a toilet seat 6, a toilet lid 7, and a main body 8 having a washing function, a drying function and the like. The hot water washing device 5 is fastened and fixed by two bolts B attached below, fixing holes 2a and 2b of the base plate 9, a nut N, and the like.

The armrest body 1 has an L-shaped base 11a, 1
1b, armrests 16a, 16b, I-shaped leg 12
a and 12b. The bases 11a and 11b are composed of rotating screws 15a and 15b and holding members 17a and 17b. By rotating the length adjusting members 15a and 15b, the lengths of the bases 11a and 11b and the armrests 16a and 16b can be adjusted. Connection is possible. Holding members 17a, 17
The end of b is rotatably supported by shafts 14a and 14b.

The legs 12a, 12b are connected to the leg members 18a, 18
b, height adjusting members 19a, 19b, leg relay member 20
a, 20b, a rubber contact member 21a that contacts the floor 4;
21b.

Further, a wobble prevention reinforcing member 22 for preventing wobble between the legs 12a and 12b is attached.

The dampers 13a, 13b are mounted on the bearings 9a, 9b.
The damper placement sections 10a and 10b on which the b is placed are formed.

The dampers 13a and 13b have a structure as shown in FIG. The dampers 13a and 13b have a cylindrical chamber 23 with one end closed and the other end open.
When the chamber 23 of the casing 24 is filled with the viscous fluid and the rotor 25 is rotatably incorporated into the chamber 23, the rotation direction is set when the sliding portion 26 provided on the rotor 25 rotates while sliding on the cylindrical wall surface 27 of the chamber 23. The structure is such that the amount of moving the viscous fluid from the front side to the rear side is limited to obtain torque. Further, a valve 29 is provided which is urged by a spring 28 so as to block a hole for releasing air contained inside when the viscous fluid and the rotor 25 are incorporated into the chamber 23 from the outside.

A concave groove 32 for fitting the first needle 31 is formed in the damper shaft 30, and a slit 35 for loosely fitting the second needle 34 is formed in the outer frame 33 which is fitted in the damper shaft 30 at a predetermined interval. Is done. This second needle 35
A ring spring 37 having an open portion 36 is fitted so as to surround the outer frame 33 so that the outer frame 33 is biased inward.

The rotation of the damper shaft 30 causes the first needle 3
When the first and second needles 34 come into contact with each other and the first needle 31 climbs over the second needle 34 against the elastic force of the ring spring 37, a holding function is generated.

There are other structures in the damper using the viscous fluid, and various structures such as a combined use of a centrifugal governor and a reduction gear can be used as a structure not using the viscous fluid.

[0023]

The present invention has the following effects.

That is, the present invention relates to a Western-style toilet apparatus comprising a toilet and a toilet seat placed on the toilet, wherein the toilet apparatus has an armrest main body rotatably supported by a shaft. Since the toilet device is characterized in that the cushioning means is provided on the shaft of the armrest main body, the armrest body descends slowly and does not come into contact with the floor surface or the user very well, so that no impact sound is generated.
