Description

[0001] FOLDER TYPE TOILET [0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a toilet, and more particularly, to a foldable toilet bowl in which a toilet seat bowl accommodating water and two sides (two stools: feces) is normally folded and stored.

Generally, a toilet is installed in a bathroom or toilet and discharges excreta. Most of such a toilet is installed horizontally so that a tank for storing water is closely adhered to the wall surface and a toilet bowl at the left side is seated in front of the tank. However, such a common toilet bowl has a horizontally protruding bowl, thus narrowing the space of the bathroom or toilet.

To improve this, Korea Patent Office (KIPO) Patent No. 1994-11747 (hereinafter referred to as "Prior Art 1") is constructed such that a shaft, a reciprocating crank, and a rail are installed on a bowl so that the bowl can be reciprocated forward or backward or rotated. Accordingly, the conventional art 1 can improve the space efficiency of the bathroom and the toilet since the horizontally projected bowl can be retracted or folded back and forth as needed.

However, in the prior art 1, since the above-described components are installed behind the narrow bowl, it is not only difficult to install, but also has a problem in that it is difficult to manufacture due to complicated components.

Patent No. 10-317539 (hereinafter referred to as "Prior Art 2") of the Korean Intellectual Property Office (hereinafter referred to as "Patent 2") has a partition wall inside a bathroom to form a cabinet-type machine room inside the bathroom, A driving device for pivoting and a washing water spray device for washing the inside of the bowl can be installed so that the bowl can be folded as needed or horizontally spread through the driving device as well as the inside of the bowl Can be cleaned.

However, in the prior art 2, since the partition wall is required to be installed in the bathroom, the space of the bathroom is rather narrow because the construction is inconvenient and the machine room is formed in the bathroom through the partition wall. In order to install the rotary shaft of the bowl, There is a problem that construction is inconvenient because the same installation structure must be separately installed.

Particularly, the conventional art 2 does not disclose a structure for supplying water to the bowls of the left-hand side, and a structure for discharging the water and the excrement housed in the bowl.

On the other hand, Korean Patent No. 10-1214493 (hereinafter referred to as "Prior Art 3") of the Korean Intellectual Property Office has a toilet bowl And a crutch for holding and folding the folded bowl is provided. Therefore, in the prior art 3, the bowl can be folded and stored in the main body part or can be used by being spread horizontally, and the inside of the folded bowl can be cleaned through the washing part.

However, the prior art 3 does not have a structure for supplying water to the inside of the bowl, so that it is not easy to apply the structure, and it is not easy to add a structure for supplying water due to the problems in the disclosed structure. When the bowl is folded, There is a problem that it is inconvenient to use because the bowl must be fixed to the main body part by hanging a part of the bowl.

The urinal may be configured such that the urine channel communicates with the inside of the toilet bowl and urine is discharged to the sewage pipe through the water inlet and outlet of the toilet bowl.

The toilet bowl may be provided with a wash water supply hole communicating with the water supply channel of the water collecting tank as it is folded in the water collecting tank and supplying the water of the tank for washing into the toilet bowl.

The urinal needs to further include a vertically elongated rib.

The ribs may have a sharp end.

The urinal may further include a baffle that is horizontally provided at a lower portion provided with the urine channel and blocks the overflow of the urine introduced into the urine channel to prevent overflow.

In the present invention as described above, since the hinges provided on the toilet bowl of the left-hand side are rotatably fixed to the side wings integrally provided on both sides of the water collecting tank, the toilet bowl can be rotatably and integrally mounted on the water collecting tank. Accordingly, the water collecting tank and the bowl of the toilet bowl can be integrally delivered, thereby improving the convenience of transportation and installation.

Further, since the height of the side wing provided on the water collecting tank is lower than the height of the toilet bowl extended horizontally, it is possible to prevent the side wing from being interfered with when using the toilet bowl.

Particularly, since a depressed portion is provided in a part of the contact surface of the water collecting tank closely adhering to the wall surface, the water collecting tank can be installed on the existing wall even if the existing water supply pipe is provided on the wall surface. That is, since the sink can be installed in the place where the toilet was installed due to the depression, another construction for installing the water collecting tank is not required.

In addition, since the overflow unit is provided in the tank of the water collecting tank in which the water is stored, the overflow of the tank can be prevented, and in addition, the overflow unit is composed of the inflow pipe and the discharge guide pipe.

In addition, when the toilet bowl is inclined in the state of being supported by the water collecting tank and folded into the water collecting tank, the load of the toilet bowl is naturally transferred to the water collecting tank supported on the wall so that the toilet bowl folded in the water collecting tank is prevented from spreading horizontally In addition, since the loop and the non-slip packing for shielding the upper part of the folded toilet bowl are provided at the upper part of the water collecting tank, When the opposing surface of the water collecting bowl opposed to the toilet bowl in an inclined state is formed as a slope corresponding to the inclination of the toilet bowl, the load of the toilet bowl is uniformly distributed along the longitudinal direction of the water collecting bowl as a whole It can be distributed and transferred, so folding toilet bowl The state can be stably maintained.

In addition, when the water collecting tank is provided with a washing nozzle, a disinfecting lamp or a sheet sterilizer, the inside of the toilet bowl can be cleaned and disinfected, the seat of the toilet bowl can be disinfected, When activated by a sensing sensor, the toilet bowl or seat can be cleaned or disinfected automatically according to the conditions of use, and can optionally be activated if required by operation buttons.

In addition, since there is provided a water inlet and outlet for a complex purpose of supplying water to the toilet bowl or draining the stored water, water can be easily supplied to the toilet bowl, and water and dirt stored in the toilet bowl can be easily drained In addition, since the lining protects the part of the toilet bowl which is rotated in a single direction, it is possible to protect the toilet bowl from frictional force, as well as to suppress the leakage of the water stored in the toilet bowl. Further, Which is formed of Teflon or PTFE, can reduce the dynamic load generated in the rolling contact, that is, the dynamic friction load, so that the toilet bowl can be smoothly rotated and the lining can be rotated or rotated about the toilet bowl It is installed in the toilet bowl or sink so it can prevent the lining from being wasted. There.

Further, since the seat made of the antibacterial plastic is integrally provided at the entrance (upper side) of the toilet bowl to which the user is seated, the cold air of the toilet bowl can be prevented from being transmitted to the user, So you can use the toilet sanitarily.

In addition, since the toilet bowl is rotated by the drive assembly, the toilet bowl can be automatically folded, and in addition, the installation space of the drive assembly can be reduced when the drive assembly is composed of a pinion and a rack, Sprockets and chains or gear trains and motors, the drive assembly can be easily configured, and furthermore, the toilet bowl can be conveniently and automatically folded when the drive assembly is actuated by the sensor.

If the urinal is provided on one side of the toilet bowl, the urinal can be used only as the urinal as needed. In particular, the urinal can be exposed only when necessary because the urinal can be rotated and rotated according to the bowl of the toilet bowl. Since the urine of the urinal is discharged to the sewage pipe through the water inlet and outlet in communication with the water outlet of the bowl, it is not necessary to open a separate channel to discharge the urine of the urinal to the sewage pipe.

Further, since the ribs perpendicular to the urinal can separate the urine supplied to the urinal by the two legs, the urine can be prevented from splashing, and the end of the rib is formed to be pointed, so that the urine can be easily separated into two legs, Since the baffle is provided adjacent to the inlet of the flow path, it is possible to prevent the urine remaining in the flow path from overflowing to the outside of the urinal when the toilet bowl is rotated.

Hereinafter, a foldable toilet according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

A folding toilet according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a water collecting tank 10, a toilet bowl 20, and a mounting unit described later, as shown in FIG.

The water collecting tank 10 is configured in the form of a box or a chair as shown in FIG. The water collecting tank 10 may be made of ceramic or alternatively made of plastic or resin. The lower part of the water collecting tank 10 is formed wider than the other part as shown in FIG. The water collecting tank 10 is installed perpendicularly to the floor F as shown in FIG.

The water collecting tank 10 is provided with a tank 16 in which water is stored and a water supply channel 17 in which water in the tank 16 is supplied to the toilet bowl 20 as shown in FIG. The tank 16 is preferably provided at the top of the water collecting tank 10, for example, as shown, so that the water is easily supplied by the potential energy. The water supply channel 17 is connected to one side of the tank 16 as shown and supplies the water of the tank 16 through the other side. It is preferable that the water supply flow path 17 is composed of, for example, a tube or a hose as shown in the drawing.

As shown in FIG. 2, the toilet bowl 20 has an inlet through which contaminants such as water are introduced and a space in which the water of the water collecting tank 10 is stored. The toilet bowl (20) can be made of ceramic or alternatively made of plastic or resin. The toilet bowl 20 is rotatably mounted in the water collecting tank 10 as shown. Therefore, the toilet bowl 20 is normally kept folded in the water collecting tank 10 as shown in FIG.

The mounting unit fixes the toilet bowl 20 to the lower portion of the water collecting tank 10 so as to be able to rotate in an uniaxial rotation. The mounting unit includes a side wing 13 and a hinge 20a, for example, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 .

The side wings 13 protrude from the sides of the water collecting tank 10 toward the toilet bowl 20 in the form of arms as shown in Fig. The side wing 13 is a plate-like member fixed to both sides of the water collecting tank 10 and has a fitting groove 13a into which the hinge 20a is fitted. The side wings 13 have a height H1 lower than the height H2 of the toilet bowl 20 which is horizontal in the water collecting tank 10 as shown in Fig. Thus, the side wings 13 do not interfere with the body of the user when the toilet bowl 20 is in use.

The hinge 20a is provided on both sides of the toilet bowl 20 in a protruded state as shown in Figs. The hinge 20a may be fabricated separately from the toilet bowl 20 and then assembled into the toilet bowl 20 or otherwise molded together with the toilet bowl 20. The hinge 20a is fixed to the fitting groove 13a of the side wing 13 and is fixed to the water collecting vessel 10 through the side wing 13. [ Since the hinge 20a is rotated together with the toilet bowl 20 as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, it is preferable that the bearing 20b is mounted as shown in an enlarged view of Fig. 1 and Fig.

Meanwhile, since the toilet bowl 20 is fixed to the water collecting tank 10 by the hinge 20a, the toilet bowl 20 is substantially monolithic with the water collecting tank 10. Therefore, the toilet bowl 20 and the water collecting tank 10 are easy to carry and install.

The toilet bowl 20 is horizontally unfolded in front of the water collecting tank 10 or folded into the water collecting tank 10 while being rotated about the hinge 20a as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. The toilet bowl 20 preferably has a rear portion, that is, the rear portion 21 is formed in an arcuate shape as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 for easy rotation.

As shown in FIG. 2, the toilet bowl 20 is provided with a water outlet 20c in the form of a hole at the rear portion where the rear 21 is provided. That is, the toilet bowl 20 is provided with a water inlet / outlet 20c on one side facing the water collecting tank 10. The water inlet 20c is communicated with the water supply channel 17 of the water collecting tank 10 when the toilet bowl 20 is horizontally unfolded in the water collecting tank 10 as shown in the figure. Therefore, the toilet bowl 20 receives the water supplied from the water supply channel 17 through the water inlet 20c, and stores the water therein.

3, when the toilet bowl 20 is folded in a standing state on the front surface of the water collecting tank 10, the water outlet 20c is connected to the sewer pipe D provided at the lower portion of the water collecting tank 10, . Therefore, the toilet bowl (20) discharges the water and the dirt stored therein to the sewage pipe (D).

Consequently, the toilet bowl 20 receives and stores water through the water outlet 20c or discharges water and dirt stored through the water outlet 20c.

The toilet bowl 20 is provided with a seat 22 for seating the user at the entrance as shown in Fig. The sheet 22 may be made of plastic, for example, so as to prevent transmission of cold air. In particular, the sheet 22 is preferably made of a conventional antimicrobial plastic based on, for example, silver or nano-zinc oxide so as to minimize the occurrence and formation of germs. The seat 22 may be installed at the entrance of the toilet bowl 20 through a coating or in-mold method, or alternatively may be assembled to the toilet bowl 20 separately from the toilet bowl 20.

When the toilet bowl 20 is folded, the toilet bowl 20 is folded into the water collecting tank 10 in an inclined state as shown in Fig. The toilet bowl 20 is folded so as to have an inclination? Directed toward the outside of the water collecting tank 10 from the upper end folded to the water collecting tank 10 to the lower end as shown in the figure. That is, the toilet bowl 20 has an inclination? Directed toward the water collecting tank 10 with respect to a virtual vertical line HR as shown in the figure. The toilet bowl (20) applies a load to the water collecting tank (10) by an inclination (?). Therefore, the toilet bowl 20 can easily maintain the folded state.

The toilet bowl 20 is supported by the water collecting tank 10 from the upper end to the lower end when the inclination corresponding to the inclination at the time of folding is formed also in front of the water collecting tank 10 as shown in FIG. At this time, as shown in the figure, the toilet bowl 20 is supported by the seat 22 in close contact with the water collecting tank 10. Therefore, the toilet bowl 20 can maintain a folded state more stably because the load is evenly distributed along the longitudinal direction of the water collecting tank 10.

2 and 3, the water collecting tank 10 is preferably provided with a sliding surface 14 having a curvature corresponding to the rear 21 of the toilet bowl 20 described above. The sliding surface 14 supports the rear 21 of the toilet bowl 20 so that the toilet bowl 20 is smoothly rotated. The sliding surface 14 shields the water inlet 20c of the toilet bowl 20 during rotation of the toilet bowl 20 to prevent water from leaking from the toilet bowl 20. [ The sliding surface 14 or the rear surface 21 may be provided with a lining LI as shown in FIG. That is, the lining LI is installed on one side of the toilet bowl 20 or on one side of the water collecting tank 10 along the rotation path of the toilet bowl 20, that is, the rotation locus of the rear 21.

The lining (LI) may be made of, for example, Teflon having a low coefficient of friction, high strength plastic or PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene). 8, the lining LI may be replaced with a dynamic 21 by friction contact with the sliding surface 14 of the water collecting tank 10 instead of the rear 21 when the lid 21 is provided on the rear 21 of the toilet bowl 20, Reduce the load. Thus, the lining LI reduces the dynamic friction load of the toilet bowl 20 relative to the water collecting tank 10, thereby improving the durability of the toilet bowl 20. [

The water collecting tank 10 is preferably provided with a depression 11 as shown in FIGS. The depression 11 provides an inclination or a curvature to a part of the water collecting tank 10 which is in close contact with the wall surface W or a part of the close contact surface so as to separate a part of the water collecting tank 10 from the wall surface W. The depression 11 is disposed on a part of a wall surface W provided with a conventional water supply pipe (not shown) to conceal the water supply pipe. Therefore, the water collecting tank (10) is easily installed on the existing wall surface (W) due to the depression (11).

The water collecting tank 10 is provided with an overflow unit that prevents the water of the tank 16 shown in FIG. 2 from overflowing in the tank 16. The overflow unit may comprise, for example, an inlet pipe 16a and an outlet guide pipe 16b as shown.

The inlet pipe 16a is vertically installed in the interior of the tank 16 at a height corresponding to the set level of the tank 16, as shown in Fig. The inlet pipe 16a receives an excess amount of water when the water in the tank 16 exceeds the full water level. One side of the discharge guide pipe 16b is connected to the inflow pipe 16a and the other side thereof is connected to a sewer pipe installed on the lower side of the water collecting tank 10 as shown in the figure. Accordingly, the discharge guide pipe 16b drains an excessive amount of water flowing into the inflow pipe 16a into the sewage pipe, thereby preventing the flooding of the tank 16. [

The water collecting tank 10 is provided with a loop 12 and a non-slip packing NP as shown in Figs. The loop 12 is configured to protrude forward from the upper portion of the water collecting tank 10 as shown. The loop 12 may have a chamber therein as shown in FIG. 3, and serve as the tank 16 described above. The loop 12 protrudes forward from the upper part of the water collecting tank 10 so as to shield the upper part of the toilet bowl 20 folded in the water collecting tank 10 as shown in the figure.

The non-slip packing NP is installed at the bottom of the loop 12 as shown in Figs. 1, 3 and 4. The non-slip packing NP is constrained between the loop 12 and the toilet bowl 20 when the toilet bowl 20 is erected and folded into the collection tank 10. The non-slip packing NP provides frictional force to the toilet bowl 20 to suppress the reverse rotation of the toilet bowl 20 folded. Therefore, the toilet bowl 20 can maintain a more stable folded state.

Meanwhile, the toilet bowl 20 can be automatically rotated by the driving assembly. Such a drive assembly can be constituted by driving means for driving the pinion P, the rack R and the rack R as shown in Figs. The pinion P is integrally installed on the hinge 20a of the toilet bowl 20 as shown and rotated together with the hinge 20a. The rack R meshes with the pinion P as shown and reciprocates to rotate the pinion P. [ The driving means can be constituted by, for example, a cylinder S as shown in the figure. In this case, the rack R is formed on the rod of the cylinder S as shown and can rotate the pinion P while reciprocating by the expansion and contraction of the cylinder S. Therefore, the toilet bowl 20 is rotated by the hinge 20a to form a horizontal or folded in the water collecting tank 10. [

The driving means may be constituted by a conventional motor not shown in the above. Such a motor is provided with a conventional circular driving gear which is engaged with the rack R to reciprocate the rack R through the rotation of the driving gear. Since such a configuration can be easily understood by those skilled in the art, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The rack R may be installed horizontally as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, but may be vertically installed and may be engaged with the pinion P. The installation state of the rack R is determined according to the installation space.

On the other hand, the above-described driving assembly is different from the above-described one, in which the motor M having the driving sprocket MS shown in Fig. 6 and the driven sprocket SS fixed to the hinge 20a of the toilet bowl 20, (CH) wound on the driven shaft (MS) and the driven sprocket (SS). This drive assembly transmits the rotational force of the drive sprocket MS to the driven sprocket SS when the chain M is driven. Thus, the driven sprocket SS rotates the hinge 20a to fold the toilet bowl 20.

Alternatively, the drive assembly may comprise a motor M having a drive gear G1 and a driven gear G2 mounted on a hinge 20a of the toilet bowl 20, as shown in Fig. This driving assembly causes the driven gear G1 to rotate the driven gear G2 when the motor M is driven. Thus, the driven gear G2 rotates the hinge 20a to fold the toilet bowl 20.

Here, intermediate gears (not shown) may be provided between the drive gear G1 and the driven gear G2. These middle gears are selectively used depending on the size of the installation space or the rotational force of the motor M is decelerated.

The driving means and the motor M described above can be automatically operated by a normal air gesture sensor S2 as shown in Fig. 4 or a normal human body detecting sensor S1 for detecting the proximity of a person . The driving means and the motor M described above can be automatically operated by a normal pedal switch FS provided at the lower portion of the toilet bowl 20, a normal operation button B1 or a normal lower body sensor (not shown) Lt; / RTI > Since such a configuration can be easily understood by those skilled in the art, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 2, the water collecting tank 10 may be provided with an intake device for sucking the air inside the toilet bowl 20. This intake apparatus is connected to an intake fan F and an intake fan F for intake of the internal air of the toilet bowl 20 as shown in the figure and is connected to an intake fan F for drawing intake air to the outside of the toilet bowl 20 And a tube (T). One end of the intake tube T communicates with the water inlet 20c of the toilet bowl 20 and the other end thereof is connected to the sewer pipe D and an intake fan F is connected to a portion thereof. Thus, the intake tube T sucks the air inside the toilet bowl 20 during operation of the intake fan F and exhausts it through the sewage pipe D.

4, the water collecting tank 10 includes a washing nozzle 42 for washing the inside of the toilet bowl 20, a disinfecting lamp 43 for sterilizing the inside of the toilet bowl 20, And a sheet sterilizer 40 for sterilizing the sheet 22 of the sheet processing apparatus 10. This post-treatment apparatus is installed in the water collecting tank 10 as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, and faces an inlet or a seat 22 of the toilet bowl 20 which is folded in the water collecting tank 10.

As shown in FIG. 4, the cleaning nozzles 42 are formed of a plurality of nozzles and spray water of high pressure to the interior of the toilet bowl 20 discharged while water and dirt are stored. The disinfection lamp 43 is constituted by a conventional ultraviolet lamp, and irradiates the inside of the toilet bowl 20 with ultraviolet rays. The sheet sterilizer 40 is installed at a size corresponding to the sheet 22 as shown and sterilizes the surface of the sheet 22 through the steam hole 40a. Such a sheet sterilizer 40 may be constituted by a normal heater and configured to disinfect the sheet 22 with a high temperature, and may be constructed by a conventional dryer, not shown, to dry the sheet 22 while thermally disinfecting the sheet 22 . When the sheet sterilizer 40 is configured as a dryer, the heater and the blower fan (not shown) are installed inside the water collecting tank 10 and the hot air heated through the steam hole 40a is provided . Such details will be readily understood by those skilled in the art, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Here, the post-processing apparatus described above can be operated by the human body detection sensor S1, the air gesture sensor S2 or the operation button B2 described above.

Meanwhile, the sewage pipe D installed in the lower part of the water collecting tank 10 may be formed in a curved shape as shown in FIG. 2, but it may be formed straight as enlarged in FIG. The sewage pipe D can be opened only when water and dirt are discharged from the toilet bowl 20 by opening and closing valves V as shown in the enlarged view. The on-off valve V may be of an electromagnetic type, but may be constituted by a conventional flat valve or a shutter type valve which is opened or closed by a load when a load is applied.

On the other hand, the toilet bowl 20 may be provided integrally with the urinal 30 on one side as shown in FIG. The urinal 30 is provided on the bottom surface of the horizontal toilet bowl 20 in the water collecting tank 10 as shown in FIG. The urinal 30 is projected and collected in front of the water collecting tank 10 by rotation of the toilet bowl 20 as shown in Figs. That is, the urinal 30 is hidden at the lower portion of the water collecting tank 10 because the toilet bowl 20 is located at the lower portion of the toilet bowl 20 when the toilet bowl 20 forms the horizontal as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, And is exposed to the front of the water collecting tank 10 when the water tank 20 stands up as shown in Fig. Therefore, the urinal 30 can be kept aseptically stored.

The toilet bowl 20 is rotated around the hinge 20a in use and horizontally unfolded as shown in Fig. At this time, as the water outlet 20c is communicated with the water supply channel 17 of the water collecting tank 10, the toilet bowl 20 receives and stores the water through the water outlet 20c. Therefore, the user can sit on the seat 22 of the toilet bowl 20 and see the toilet.

After the toilet bowl 20 is used, it is rotated again and is folded into the water collecting tank 10 as shown in Fig. At this time, as shown in the figure, the toilet bowl 20 is in communication with the sewage pipe D installed at the lower part of the water collecting tank 10 as shown in FIG. Therefore, the toilet bowl 20 discharges the water and the dirt which have been stored to the sewage pipe D through the water inlet / outlet 20c.

Consequently, the toilet bowl 20 is supplied with water through one water inlet 20c and stores it, or discharges water and dirt that are stored therein.

On the other hand, when the toilet bowl 20 is in use, contaminated air therein is removed through the intake tube T as the intake fan F is operated as shown in Fig. After the toilet bowl 20 is used and folded, the inside thereof is cleaned or disinfected. 4, the inside of the toilet bowl 20 is cleaned as the high-pressure washing water is sprayed through the cleaning nozzle 42 of the water collecting tank 10, and the inside of the toilet bowl 20 is cleaned by the disinfection lamp 43 As the ultraviolet light is irradiated, the inside is disinfected. The seat 22 is disinfected as the toilet bowl 20 is provided with steam or high temperature in the sheet sterilizer 40 of the water collecting tank 10.

3, the toilet bowl 20 is folded into the water collecting tank 10 in an inclined state and the load is applied to the water collecting tank 10, so that the folded state can be stably maintained. In addition, the toilet bowl 20 can keep the folded state more stable as the non-slip packing NP provided in the loop 12 of the water collecting tank 10 provides the frictional force.

The toilet bowl 20 exposes the urinal 30 while being normally folded on the water collecting tank 10 as shown in FIG. Therefore, since the toilet bowl 20 can be used only as a urinal in normal times, the space efficiency can be improved. However, when the toilet bowl 20 is horizontally unfolded as shown in FIG. 3, the urinal 30 can be hidden under the water collection tank 10.

9 and 10, urine is supplied to the inside of the toilet bowl 20 through the urine flow path 33 to urine through the water inlet and outlet 20c of the toilet bowl 20, . Therefore, the urinal 30 need not be provided with a separate supply pipe for supplying urine to the sewage pipe D from which the dirt is discharged.

4 and 10, since the rib 31 is provided on the inner side of the urinal 30, the urine can be dispersed during the supply of the urine to prevent the urine from being scattered. When the toilet bowl 20 is horizontally rotated as shown in FIG. 2, the urinal 30 prevents the lower baffle 32 from discharging the urine remaining in the urine channel 33 to the outside.
