Description

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

Conventionally, the 6th type of toilet seat cover used for this type of U-shaped toilet seat was
．． The one shown in Figure 7.8 is known.

Fig. 6 is a perspective view of a conventional toilet seat cover, Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the toilet seat cover being attached to the toilet seat, and Fig. 8 is a perspective view of the toilet seat cover being attached to the toilet seat. In the figure, the toilet seat cover 61 is made of tube-knitted spandex, and has a stretchable cylindrical fabric 6 with a pile surface.
2 are sewn and sealed at both ends, a notch of a required length is formed in the middle part, and an opening 64 is formed by sewing an elastic material 63 along the periphery of this notch.

When attaching such a toilet seat cover 61 to the toilet seat 60, insert each end of the U-shaped toilet seat toward one side through the opening 64, and use the elastic material 63 of the opening 64 to cover the base of the toilet seat 60. It is designed to prevent it from coming out by tightening it.

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. The toilet seat cover 61 covers almost the entire toilet seat 62, which results in a large waste of fabric 62.
In order to bring the opening 64 of the toilet seat cover 61 into close contact with the base of the toilet seat 60 when the toilet seat cover 61 is attached to the base of the toilet seat 60,
However, if the opening 64 is small, the opening 64 must be pulled strongly when attached to the toilet seat 60, and the opening 64 is likely to be damaged during repeated attachment and detachment operations. There was a drawback.

The present invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to have a belt-shaped middle part, which is made of stretchable fabric, and which should be fitted around the ends of a U-shaped toilet seat at both ends. A hard core material having a horseshoe shape larger than the inner periphery of the toilet seat is provided along one end edge of the belt-like portion of the intermediate portion, and an elastic material is provided along the other side edge. As a result, it is possible to use a belt-shaped cloth as a cloth, and the amount of cloth itself can be greatly reduced, reducing the cost of cloth.The toilet seat cover can also be attached and detached easily and quickly for convenience. is to provide.

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to drawings showing embodiments thereof.

Figure 1 shows the toilet seat cover according to the present invention (hereinafter referred to as the proposed product)
Fig. 2 is a partially cutaway plan view showing the state in which the toilet is attached to the toilet seat, Fig. 2 is a partially cutaway back view, and Fig. 3 is the lll-II of Fig. 1.
An enlarged cross-sectional view taken along line I, FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the main body of the cover constituting the product, and FIG. It is composed of a main body 1, a core material 2, and a stopper 3.

The cover main body 1 is made of spandex, and the middle part of a stretchable belt-shaped fabric 11 with a pile surface is left as a belt-like shape, and both ends are sewn facing each other, Pouch-like portions 13 and 13 are formed with opposing sides open, and one side edge of the band-like portion 12 in the middle portion is folded inward and sewn so that one pouch-like portion 13 is connected to the other. An elongated cylindrical portion 14 is formed between the bag-like portions 13, and a flat rubber string is provided at the other side edge of the band-like portion 11 and at the opening edges of both bag-like portions 13 and 13 so as to wrap around this edge. It is formed by sewing an elastic material 15 such as the like and finishing it with a welt.

The fabric 11 is made by sewing a tube-knitted fabric at both ends to close it, instead of using a belt-like fabric, and then cutting open the area near the closed ends to form a tubular part 14 at the edge of the cut edge. The cover body 1 may be formed by sewing the material 15.

Further, the elastic material 15 may be inserted into a cylindrical portion formed by folding and sewing the edges of the bag material portion 13.13 and the band-like portion.The core material 2 is made of synthetic resin that is hard and has appropriate elasticity. The pipe is curved into a horseshoe shape that is slightly larger than the shape of the inner peripheral edge of the toilet seat 60, and is inserted into a cylindrical portion 14 formed on one side edge of the strip portion 12 of the cover main body 1.

The tension device 3 is a rod-shaped object made of elastic hard synthetic resin, and is shorter than the short axis dimension of the U-shaped toilet seat 60, and as shown in FIG. It consists of a tensioning device main body 3a formed in a rod shape having a length of about the same size (less than 20 cm), and two tightening members 3b, 3b slidably fitted on the tensioning device main body 3a. There is.

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's a little spread out.

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 protrusions 31a, 31a extending in the width direction.・・・・・・
・and 31 b, 31 b... are formed, and the protrusions 31 a, 31 a on the terminal side are the tightening members 3 b,
In the natural state where 3b is located on the flat part in the center, it is open by about 5 mm.

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

The heights of the protrusions 31a and 31b are adjusted so that when the tightening members 3b and 3b are moved toward the end of the tensioner main body 3a, the protrusions 31a and 31b are in approximate contact with each other. etc. are stipulated.

The main business plane thus structured is used as follows.

That is, first, each bag-shaped part 13 at both ends of the cover main body 1.
13 to both ends of the U-shaped toilet seat 60, and then the core material 2
The edge 1a of the cover main body 1 that is attached is placed in contact with the back surface of the toilet seat 60 so as to be positioned approximately concentrically with the toilet seat 60 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, and the bottom edge 1b of the cover main body 1 , pass the toilet seat 6 through the inside of the toilet seat 60 while turning the main body 1 upside down.
0 to the front side, and then pull out the bottom edge 1b of the cover body 1.
If you spread the cover outward in the width direction of the seat surface and wrap it around the back side of the outer periphery of the toilet seat 60 while aligning the back surface of the cover main body 1 with the surface of the toilet seat 60, the contractile force of the elastic material 15 will cause the cover to expand outward in the width direction of the seat surface. It is restrained and held on the back side of the outer periphery of the toilet seat 60.

The tensioning device 3 is positioned near the base end of the pivot on the back surface of the toilet seat 60, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the flexible plates 31, 31 of the edge 1b of the cover main body 1 are moved toward the longitudinal center thereof, and the flexible plates 31, 31 of the edge 1b of the cover main body 1 are inserted into the opposing gap between the ends of the flexible plates 31, 31 of the tensioner main body 3a. Insert the tightening member 3b by pulling the portion facing the end toward each other.
3b are slid toward the ends of the tensioner main body 3a and away from each other as shown in FIG.

Then, the ends of the flexible plates 31, 31 are
1a, or between the protrusions 31a and 31a and the protrusion 31
The elastic material 15 and the like are held between the parts b and 31b, and movement of the cover main body 1 is prevented by this holding part.

In this state, the fabric 11 of the cover main body 1 is strongly stretched in both the circumferential direction and the width direction, but both end edges 1a and lb are separated by the core material 2 on one side and the toilet seat 60 on the other. The elastic material 15 is restrained and held on the back side of the outer periphery, and near the pivot base end of the toilet seat 60, the elastic material 15 is tensioned in the short diameter direction by the tensioning tool 3, so that the cover The main body 1 will not come off the toilet seat 60.

When removing the toilet seat cover from the toilet seat 60, gather the tightening members 3b, 3b of the tensioning tool 3 in the center of the tensioning tool main body 3a, remove the tensioning tool 3 from the cover main body 1, and then remove the tensioning tool 3 from the cover main body 1. Stretching a part of the peripheral edge part 1b of the cover main body 1, which is restrained and held by the elastic material 15 on the back side of the peripheral edge,
When pulled out to the front and back sides of the toilet seat 60 beyond the outer edge of the toilet seat 60, the elastic material 15 itself is pulled out to the front side of the toilet seat 60 over the entire circumference by the contraction force of itself, and the toilet seat cover is removed from the toilet seat 60.

With the product thus constructed, the cover body 1 and the core material 2 can be attached and detached very easily and quickly, and the cover body 1 can be attached and detached from the toilet seat 60 very easily and quickly. It is also easier to sew than the traditional one.

Furthermore, by providing the tensioning device 3, even if the elastic force of the elastic material 15 of the opening peripheral portion 1a or 1b of the cover main body 1 is weakened due to washing damage etc., the pivot of the toilet seat 60 can be maintained. Even if the shape of the outer periphery near the base end of the support is an arcuate shape with no hooks as shown in the figure, it can be reliably 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 toilet seat 60. It can also be applied to toilet seats, and the fabric 11 itself can be used even when turned inside out, providing excellent versatility and flexibility.

As mentioned above, this product can significantly reduce the amount of fabric used for the cover body, resulting in lower fabric costs, fewer sewing steps, and the ability to attach and detach the toilet seat very easily and quickly. Ideas are highly effective.
