Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement of a toilet seat cover used by being attached to a U-shaped toilet seat in a Western-style toilet bowl.

Conventionally, the 8th toilet seat cover used for this type of U-shaped toilet seat was
．． The one shown in Figure 9.10 is known.

FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing a conventional toilet seat cover, FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing how the toilet seat cover is attached to the toilet seat, and FIG.
The figure is also a perspective view showing the state in which the toilet seat cover is attached to the toilet seat, and the toilet seat cover 61 is made of tube-knitted spandex, and the both ends of a stretchable tube-shaped fabric 62 with a pile surface are sewn together. At the same time, a notch of a required length is formed in the intermediate portion, and an elastic material 63 is sewn along the periphery of this notch to form an opening 64.

When attaching such a toilet seat cover 61 to the toilet seat 60, insert each end of the U-shaped toilet seat 60 from the opening 64 toward one side, and use the elastic material 63 of the opening 64 to close the lid of the toilet seat 60. By tightening it, it is possible to stop it from coming out.

However, in the case of such a toilet seat cover 61, the fabric 62, which is the material thereof, is formed of a small-diameter tube knit, so the fabric cost is high. Since most of the fabric is covered, there is a large waste of fabric 62, and in addition, in order to make the toilet seat cover 61, especially the opening 64, tightly contact the lid of the toilet seat 60 when the toilet seat cover 61 is attached to the toilet seat 60. However, if the opening 64 is small, it will be necessary to pull the opening 64 strongly when attaching it to the toilet seat 60, and the opening 64 may be damaged during repeated attachment and detachment operations. There were disadvantages such as easy occurrence.

The present invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to have a band-shaped middle section made of stretchable fabric, and a strip at each end of the U-shaped toilet seat. A cover main body is provided with a bag-shaped part to be fitted into and is made of elastic material sewn to both sides of the belt-shaped part in the middle part, and a cover body that has a horseshoe shape larger than the inner circumference of the toilet seat and is attached along the outer circumference. By providing a fastener with a groove into which an elastic material sewn on one side of the belt-like part between the pouch-like part on one end side and the pouch-like part on the other end side of the main body is fitted, a large amount of fabric can be removed. To provide a toilet seat cover which can significantly reduce fabric cost by making it possible to save money and use a band-shaped fabric, and which can be easily and quickly attached to and detached from the toilet seat.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically explained based on drawings showing embodiments thereof.

Figure 1 shows the toilet seat cover according to the present invention (hereinafter referred to as the “proposed side”)
FIG. 2 is a partially cutaway plan view showing the state in which the toilet seat is covered with the toilet seat, FIG. 3 is a partially cutaway back view, and FIG.
An enlarged sectional view taken along line I, FIG. 4 is a plan view schematically showing the appearance of the main body of the cover that constitutes the proposed product, and FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the positional relationship between the stopper and the toilet seat that constitute the proposed product. , Fig. 6 is a partially enlarged view of the stop that constitutes the product, and Fig. 7 is an explanatory diagram of the operation of the tensioning device. has been done.

The cover main body 1 is made of spandex and has a pile surface and is sewn into a bag shape so that both end edges of a stretchable band-like fabric 11 can be fitted over both ends of a U-shaped toilet seat 12. It is formed by sewing a flat elastic material 14 such as a flat rubber cord to the peripheral edge of the shaped part 13 and the side edge of the middle band-shaped part so as to wrap it around it.

The elastic material 14 is linearly sewn over both side edges 1a, lb of the band-shaped portion 12 and the mouth edge of the bag-shaped portion 13.13 so as to wrap around them.

The stop 2 is made of hard synthetic resin and has a horseshoe shape in plan view, which is similar to the shape of the inner edge of the toilet seat 60 slightly enlarged, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. A groove 21 with a depth of approximately 1 cm is formed across the length of the groove 21, and protrusions 22, 22 are formed on both side walls of the groove 21 at both ends thereof to protrude in opposite directions. 14 is to be prevented from being removed.

When the stopper 2 is positioned concentrically with the back surface of the toilet seat 60, it is positioned slightly inward from the center of the seat surface of the toilet seat 60 in the width direction.

Of course, the planar shape of the stop 2 itself may be formed into a horseshoe shape that matches the planar shape of the toilet seat 60 as described above, but it may also be formed into a polygonal shape, which is larger than the inner circumference of the toilet seat 60 and smaller than the outer circumference. It can be of any shape as long as it is small.

The cross section of the stopper 2 has a width dimension larger than the thickness direction dimension, and the groove 21 has a U-shape along the center of the outer circumference, the width of which is slightly larger than the thickness dimension of the elastic material 14 in the cover body 1. Further, at the opening edges of both ends of this groove 21, the wall thickness of both side walls is thickened to provide protrusions 22 to narrow the opening size of the groove 21, and an elastic material 14 is fitted into the groove 21. Even when the cover main body 1 is pulled in this state, the elastic material 14 functions to prevent it from coming out from the groove 21.

Note that the cross-sectional shape of the stop 2 and the cross-sectional shape of the groove 21 are not limited to the above-described shapes, and may be formed, for example, in a C-shaped cross-section or a C-shaped cross-section.

Further, the material of the stopper 2 may be any material as long as it has appropriate hardness, and may be made of metal or the like, for example.

The tensioning device 3 is a rod-shaped object made of a hard, elastic synthetic resin material, and as shown in FIGS. 20
The tensioning tool body 3a is formed into a rod shape and has a longitudinal dimension of about 1.5 cm or less, and two tightening members 3b, 3b are slidably fitted onto the tensioning tool main body 3a.

The tensioning device main body 3a has a shape similar to that of two tweezers joined together at their connecting parts, and has a flat part of about 3 cm in the longitudinal direction in the center, and both sides thereof are bifurcated and extend toward the ends. It is spread out a bit.

This widening part has a thickness of about 2 mm and is flexible, and the inner (opposing surface) ends of the flexible plates 31, 31 have a plurality of sets of protrusions 31a, 31a,・・・・・・
and 31 b, 31 b... are formed,
The protrusions 31a, 31a on the terminal side are open by about 5 mm in a natural state with the tightening members 3b, 3b located at the flat part in the center.

The tightening members 3b, 3b have a rectangular cylindrical shape that just fits into the tensioner main body 3a.

When the tightening members 3b, 3b are moved toward the end of the tensioner main body 3a, the height dimensions of the protrusions 31a, 31b are adjusted so that the protrusions 31a, 31b are in approximate contact with each other. It is a rule.

The product thus constructed is used as follows.

That is, the cover main body 1 and the stopper 22 are coupled by fitting the elastic material 4 of the cover main body 1 into the groove 1 of the stopper 2.

In this case, first insert the cover body 1 into the groove 1 of the stopper 2.
The elastic material 4 is pushed into the central part in the longitudinal direction.

Next, the opening periphery of the cover main body 1 is stretched slightly along the circumferential direction of the groove 21 in order from this central part in the circumferential direction, so that the thickness of the elastic material 14 becomes thinner and it fits smoothly into the groove 21. Then, it is fitted into the groove 21 over approximately half the circumference and is connected as shown in FIG. 3.

The elastic material 14 of the cover main body 1 fitted into the groove 21 does not come off from the groove 21 due to its own contraction force.

When removing the cover main body 1 from the stopper 2, pull the edge of the cover main body 1 to pull a part of the elastic material 14 out of the groove 21. 21, and the cover body 1 is removed from the stopper 2.

On the other hand, the toilet seat cover in which the cover main body 1 and the stopper 2 are combined as described above is attached to the toilet seat 8 in the following manner.

That is, first, one side of the stopper 2 exposed from the cover main body 1 is brought into contact with the back surface of the toilet seat 8 so as to be positioned approximately concentrically with the toilet seat 8 as shown in FIG. While turning the cover main body 1 inside out, pull out the end edge through the stopper 2 and the inside of the toilet seat 8 to the surface side of the toilet seat 12, and then pull the other end edge of the cover main body 1 outward in the width direction of the seat surface. 60 while aligning the back side of the cover body 1 with the surface of the toilet seat 8.
If you wrap it around the back side of the outer periphery of the elastic material 1
4, the toilet seat 12 is restrained and held on the back side of the outer periphery of the toilet seat 12 by the contraction force.

Then, the tensioning tool 3 is positioned near the pivot base end on the back surface of the toilet seat 60 with its longitudinal direction facing the short diameter direction of the toilet seat 12 as shown in FIG.
As shown in the figure, the tensioner body 3a is placed in a state where it is brought to its longitudinal center, and inserted into the opposing gap between the ends of the flexible plates 31, 31 of the tensioner main body 3a.
The portions of the peripheral edge 8' of the cover main body 8 facing the ends of the flexible plates 31, 31 are inserted so as to be pulled together, and the tightening members 3b, 3b are attached to the tensioner main body 3a as shown in FIG. They slide and move away from each other toward the ends.

Then, the ends of the flexible plates 31, 31 are
1a or between the protrusions 31a and 31a and the protrusion 31b
, 31b, the elastic member 14 and the like are clamped, and movement of the cover main body 1 is prevented by this clamping portion.

In this state, the cover main body 1, especially its short cylindrical fabric 6a, is in a state of being strongly stretched both in the circumferential direction and in the width direction, but both end edges are held by the elastic material 14, and one is attached to the stopper 2. In the groove 21, the other is restrained and held on the back side of the outer periphery of the toilet seat 60, and near the pivot base end of the toilet seat 8, the elastic member 14 is tensioned in the short diameter direction by the tensioning tool 3. Therefore, the cover body 1 will not come off the toilet seat 60.

When removing the toilet seat cover from the toilet seat 12, the tightening members 3b, 3b of the tensioner 3 are brought together in the center of the tensioner main body 3a, the tensioner 3 is removed from the cover main body 1, and then the outer periphery of the toilet seat 60 is removed. If you pull a part of the peripheral edge of the cover body 1 which is restrained and held by the elastic material 14 on the back side of the toilet seat 60 and pull it out to the front and back sides of the toilet seat 60, beyond the outer edge of the toilet seat 60,
The toilet seat 60 is compressed all around by the contraction force of the elastic material 14 itself.
The toilet seat cover is removed from the toilet seat 60.

With the present product configured in this way, it is extremely easy and quick to attach and detach the cover body 1 and the stopper 2 and to attach and detach it from the toilet seat 60, and unlike the conventional case, there is a ring around the periphery of the cover body 1. It is also easier to sew than those with .

Furthermore, by providing the tensioning device 3, even if the elastic force of the elastic material 14 is weakened due to washing damage, etc., the shape of the outer peripheral edge near the pivot base end of the toilet seat 60 can be maintained. Even if it has an arcuate shape without hooks as shown, it can be securely attached to the toilet seat 60 and there is no risk of it coming off easily.

In addition, the size of the stop 2 itself, that is, the outer diameter is formed to match the outer diameter of the relatively small toilet seat 60, and the inner diameter is formed to match the inner diameter of the relatively large diameter toilet seat 60, so that dimensional specifications can be different. It can be applied to various toilet seats, and the elastic material 14 of the cover body 1 can be fitted into the groove 21 of the stopper 2, and the fabric itself can be used even if it is turned inside out.
Excellent flexibility.

As described above, with the proposed product, the work of attaching and detaching the cover body and the stopper can be done easily and quickly, it can be securely attached to the toilet seat without the risk of it coming off, and the fabric cost is low. The present invention has excellent effects, such as being able to provide products at low cost.
