Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a toilet seat for a Western-style toilet bowl, and its purpose is to create a structure in which the toilet seat attached to the toilet bowl can be separated from the toilet bowl with one action, so that the toilet seat itself can be used as a toilet bowl. To provide a toilet seat that can be individually washed.

In general, the seat of a Western-style toilet bowl is unclean due to sewage, urine, etc. adhering to it during emptying of filth from the toilet bowl, cleaning of the toilet bowl, or urinary use, so it must be cleaned from time to time. In this case, the toilet seat is attached to the toilet bowl so as to be able to freely slide, but is attached in such a way that it cannot be easily separated from the toilet bowl. For this reason, when cleaning the toilet seat, for example, the toilet seat has been cleaned by wiping it with a cloth, but it has been difficult to keep the toilet seat clean with this level of cleaning. Also, when cleaning the toilet, you have to bend over and do it in a cramped situation, so cleaning the toilet seat requires a lot of effort for housewives and others. I was very uncomfortable because I was walking so close to the train.

In view of the above-mentioned points, the present invention provides a toilet seat that has a structure that allows the toilet seat to be easily separated from the toilet bowl, so that the toilet seat and the lid of the toilet bowl can be easily flushed outside the toilet. Below, we will explain an example in which the present invention is applied to a toilet bowl equipped with functions such as deodorization (deodorization), warming, and private cleaning. 1 is a toilet seat body, and this toilet seat body 1, together with the lid 3 of the toilet bowl 2, is It is pivotally connected to a case 4 provided on the rear upper surface of the toilet bowl 2 and containing functions such as deodorization. The toilet seat main body 1 is made of synthetic resin and is formed into a substantially annular shape, and its cross-sectional shape bulges upward, and its upper surface gently slopes toward the inner peripheral edge. In addition, a contact piece 5 made of synthetic resin or rubber is provided on the bottom surface, and hinge pieces 6 are provided at both rear ends of the toilet seat body 1.
is integrally protruded upward. Next, the lid 3 of the toilet bowl 2 is made in the same shape as the toilet seat body 1 by a plate that opens and closes the opening 1a of the toilet seat body 1, and the hinge pieces of the toilet seat body 1 are attached at both rear ends of the lid 3. A pivot 7 is integrally formed to protrude toward the case 4 to hold the hinge 6 from the outside, and pin insertion holes 7a and 6a are bored in the pivot 7 and the hinge piece 6 at positions on the same line. There is. Further, a contact piece (not shown) made of rubber or the like is attached to the back surface of the lid 3 at a required position where it comes into contact with the toilet seat body 1. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2, the case 4 that pivotally connects the toilet seat body 1 and the lid 3 has a hinge piece 6 of the toilet seat body 1 and a pivot portion 7 of the lid 3 at both ends of its front surface. A recess 8 is formed to accommodate the housing, and a bearing 9 is formed horizontally protruding into the case 4 on the inside of the side wall 8a of the recess 8, as shown in FIG. Further, inside this case 4, an engaging piece 11 is provided along the side wall 8a between the front wall 4a of the case 4 and the support wall 10 provided inside the case 4.
is suspended horizontally, and this engagement piece 11 is usually made of an elastic spring material. As shown in FIG. 5, the engaging piece 11 has one end fixed to the support wall 10, and the other end is a free end, and is attached to a holder 1 protruding from the back surface of the front wall 4a of the case 4.
It is loosely fitted into the loose fitting hole 13 of No. 2.

In addition, 14 in the figure is a pivot pin that pivotally supports the toilet seat body 1 and the lid body 3 to the case 4 in a freely sliding manner, and a knob 14a is provided on a portion of the lid body 3 that protrudes outward from the pivot portion 7. The tip on the side opposite to the knob 14a is formed into a tapered shape, and an engagement groove 15 for detachably engaging the engagement piece 11 is provided around the rear side of this tapered portion 14b.

Next, to explain how to assemble the toilet seat, first, place the toilet seat main body 1 on the rim surface 2a of the toilet bowl 2 with the hinge piece 6 facing the case 4 side, and then place the hinge piece 6 in the recess 8 of the case 4. Then, similarly to the toilet seat body 1, place the lid body 3 on the toilet seat body 1 with the pivot part 7 facing the case 4 side, and bring the pivot part 7 into contact with the hinge piece 6 of the toilet seat body 1. and house it in the recess 8 of the case 4, and then remove the knob 1 of the pivot pin 14.
4a in your hand, insert this pivot pin 14 into the lid body 3.
The tip of the pivot pin 14 is inserted into the case 4 through the pin insertion holes 6a and 7a provided in the pivot part 7 of the seat body 1 and the hinge piece 6 of the toilet seat body 1, respectively, and protrudes into the case 4 from the bearing part 9 inside the side wall 8a of the case 4. When the tapered portion 14b comes into contact with the engaging piece 11 suspended horizontally within the case 4, the engaging piece 11 moves into two points as shown in FIG. As shown by the chain line, the central portion is pushed upward. As a result, when the pivot pin 14 is further inserted and the engagement groove 15 and the engagement piece 11 match, the engagement piece 11 uses its springiness to push the pivot pin 1
It engages with the engagement groove 15 of No. 4. Therefore, the pivot pin 14 does not come off from the case 4 due to engagement with the engagement piece 11. The toilet seat main body 1 and the lid body 3 are both pivotally supported by a pivot pin 14, and the toilet bowl 2
It can be slidably mounted on.

Next, when cleaning the toilet seat, hold the knob 14a and pull the pivot pin 14 against the spring force of the engagement piece 11 to the outside of the toilet bowl 2, contrary to the above-mentioned assembly. Since the engagement piece 11 is removed from the engagement groove 15 of the pin 14, the pivot pin 14 can be easily moved from the bearing part 9 in the case 4 to the pin provided on the hinge piece 6 of the toilet seat body 1 and the pivot part 7 of the lid body 3. Insertion holes 6a, 7
It can be extracted via a. As a result, the toilet seat is no longer pivotally connected to the toilet bowl, so the toilet seat body 1 and the lid body 3 can be separated from the toilet bowl 2 individually, so the toilet seat body 1 and the lid body 3 can be taken out of the toilet. It can be easily cleaned using detergent or the like.

When assembling the toilet seat after cleaning, it can be assembled in the same manner as described above, so the explanation thereof will be omitted.

In this case, an example has been described in which the pivot pin 14 is removably engaged with the engagement piece 11 horizontally suspended in the case 4, but the present invention is not limited to this. Establish the bearing part of the pin 14,
The present invention can also be applied to a structure in which an engaging piece is made to stand upright on the toilet bowl 2 inside this bearing part, and the engaging piece that is made to stand upright on the toilet bowl 2 is engaged with and disengaged from the pivot pin 14.

As described above, the present invention includes a pivot pin that pivotally supports the toilet seat body and the lid placed on the toilet seat body so as to be able to slide freely on the toilet bowl, and an engaging piece having spring properties that is provided on the toilet bowl. Since the toilet seat body and lid body are normally connected to the toilet bowl by a pivot pin, they do not separate from the toilet bowl, and when the toilet seat body etc. are removed from the toilet bowl. Since the toilet seat body and lid can be separated from the toilet bowl by pulling out the pivot pin, the toilet seat body and lid can be washed separately from the toilet bowl when cleaning the toilet bowl. As a result, the toilet seat can be easily cleaned, so it can be kept clean at all times, and furthermore, there is no need to clean it inside the toilet.
The person doing the cleaning will not feel uncomfortable.
Further, since the pivot pin can be engaged and disengaged with the engagement piece provided on the toilet bowl in one operation, the toilet seat can be easily disassembled and assembled by a housewife or the like. Furthermore, the locking and disengaging structure of the pivot pin can be manufactured with a simple structure without using any special parts, and the pivot pin only has its knob protruding to the side of the toilet seat. Since the engaging piece is installed in a place that cannot be seen from the outside by making effective use of the space at the rear of the top of the toilet, it does not detract from the aesthetics of the toilet itself, and it does not rust due to dirt etc. This has many practical advantages, such as eliminating the risk of difficulty in removing it.
