Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a toilet seat used in a toilet bowl, and particularly to a toilet seat that can be propped up in a stable position.

FIGS. 1 and 2 are a plan view and a side view showing an example of a conventional toilet seat and lid attached to a toilet bowl equipped with a hot water hot air type washer. In these figures, 1 indicates the toilet bowl body, and 2 indicates the entire toilet seat. Reference numeral 3 designates an annular toilet seat main body, and a plurality of contact pieces 4 are formed on the lower surface of the toilet seat main body 3. When the toilet seat main body 3 is placed on the toilet bowl main body 1, the contact pieces 4 come into contact with the toilet seat main body 3. 5
is the lid of the toilet seat 2, and a contact piece 6 is formed on the lower surface of the lid, and this contact piece 6 comes into contact when the lid 5 is placed over the toilet seat body 3. Reference numeral 7 denotes a hot air device for blowing out hot air, which is provided behind the toilet seat main body 3, and a heater, a fan, a control element, etc. are housed inside the hot air device.
Reference numeral 8 denotes a support shaft, which is attached to the warm air device 7 and supports the bearing 9 of the toilet seat main body 3 and the bearing 10 of the lid 5 in common and rotatably. Reference numeral 11 denotes a nozzle housing, which is installed between the toilet main body 1 and the hot air device 7. 12 is a rotating nozzle provided inside the nozzle housing 11, and 13 is a water storage tank.

By the way, the conventional toilet seat main body 3 and the lid 5 both have a common fulcrum at the support shaft 8, and the water storage tank 13 may be integrated with the toilet main body 1 or separate. The so-called low tank type, which is installed in a low position, is often used.

Therefore, when the toilet seat main body 3 and the lid 5, which are in a horizontal position, are rotated in the directions of arrows A and B and placed against the water storage tank 13, the toilet seat main body 3 and the lid 5 are moved from the position indicated by the solid line in FIG. It was in the position shown by the two-dot chain line, but the angle θ ₁ with respect to the vertical was small, so it was difficult to stand it up stably. In addition, since the toilet seat body 3 is located far from the fulcrum of the support shaft 8, and the center of gravity of the toilet seat body 3 is high relative to the support shaft 8, there is a risk that the toilet seat body 3 will fall in the direction opposite to the arrow A direction. It was hot.

In addition, when the toilet seat body 3 is covered with a cold protection cover, the toilet seat body 3 is separated from the lid 5, and furthermore,
The inclination angle θ ₁ became smaller, and since the device was propped up nearly vertically, it was more likely to fall over.

This idea was made in order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and by providing separate support shafts for the toilet seat body and lid, the toilet seat body could be erected in a more inclined position than before. This is what I did. This idea will be explained below.

FIG. 3 is a side view showing an embodiment of this invention, and FIG. 4 is an enlarged sectional view taken along the line X--X in FIG. In these figures, the same reference numerals as in FIG. 1 indicate the same parts, 21 is a bearing of the lid 5, 22 is a first support shaft that rotatably supports the bearing 21,
It is fixed to the hot air device 7. If hot air device 7
In the case of a toilet in which a toilet is not installed, a rising portion is provided on the toilet main body 1, and the first support shaft 22 is attached thereto. 23 is a bearing of the toilet seat main body 3;
4 is a second support shaft that rotatably supports the bearing 23; 25 is a rotating tool; one end of which is rotatably supported with respect to the first support shaft 22; A second support shaft 24 is fixed at a position separated from the first support shaft 22 by a predetermined distance.

When in use, the toilet seat main body 3 and the lid 5, which are in a horizontal position, are rotated about the first and second support shafts 22, 24 from the positions shown by solid lines in the directions of arrows C and D in Fig. 3. It is placed against the water storage tank 13 at the position shown by the two-dot chain line. At this time, the rotating tool 25 does not rotate and remains in the position shown in FIG. 3.

In this way, since the lid 5 rotates about the first support shaft 22, its position is the same as in the conventional case, but the toilet seat main body 3 is moved diagonally from the first support shaft 22 to the front of the toilet main body 1. Since it rotates around the second support shaft 24 located in a downwardly lowered position, the angle θ ₂ inclined with respect to the vertical becomes larger than the angle θ ₁ described above, and Toilet seat body 3
Since the center of gravity is lower, it can be propped up in a stable position.

Furthermore, since the inclination angle θ ₂ of the toilet seat body 3 is increased, the lid 5 can be held down so that it does not fall.

In addition, when a large space above the toilet main body 1 is required for inspection and repair of the hot air device 7, nozzle housing 11, etc., the rotating tool 25 is used as shown in FIG.
When the toilet seat main body 3 is rotated in the direction of arrow E about the first support shaft 22 as a fulcrum, the toilet seat main body 3 also rises in the direction of arrow F and moves from the position shown by the solid line to the position shown by the two-dot chain line, so that it is almost parallel to the lid 5. The inclination angle θ ₃ with respect to the vertical becomes smaller than the inclination angle θ ₂ of the toilet seat body 3 shown by the solid line, and the center of gravity of the toilet seat body 3 becomes higher. Therefore, if there is a risk of the vehicle falling forward, check the
During repair, just hold the tip with tape or the like.

It goes without saying that the toilet seat of this invention can also be used for toilets without the hot air device 7 and nozzle housing 11 installed therein.

As explained above, this invention provides a first support shaft that rotatably supports the lid of the toilet bowl, and one end is attached to the first support shaft.
The toilet seat body was rotatably supported on the second support shaft at a predetermined distance from the first support shaft of the rotating tool, which was rotatably supported on the support shaft of the toilet seat body and the lid. When leaning against the toilet, the angle of inclination of the toilet seat body with respect to the vertical becomes large, and the toilet seat body is in a downward position, so it is in a stable state and there is no risk of it falling forward.

In addition, the toilet seat body can be pulled upwards while rotating the rotating tool and placed in a position almost parallel to the lid, creating a wider area above the toilet body, making it easier to inspect and repair the hot air device and nozzle housing. It has advantages such as:
