BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The advantages and features of the present invention, and the manner of achieving them, will be apparent from and elucidated with reference to the embodiments described hereinafter in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited by the embodiments disclosed below, but will be implemented in various different forms, only the embodiments are to make the disclosure of the present invention complete, and the present invention is common in the art. It is provided to fully inform those skilled in the art of the scope of the invention, which is to be defined only by the scope of the claims. In the following description, well-known functions or constructions are not described in detail since they would obscure the invention in unnecessary detail.

The present invention is used as a toilet seat seat size adjustable, the toilet seat. At this time, since the conventional toilet seat structure and operation relationship is already known technology, the description of the technology is omitted for a clear understanding of the present invention.

Figure 1 shows an embodiment according to the present invention, the right side of Figure 1 shows the connecting portion 200 through the interior of the seat plate 100 and the cushion member 300. This makes it possible to clearly identify the connection between at least two separate seat plates that constitute the toilet seat.

Referring to FIG. 1, in this embodiment, at least two separate seat plates 100 are connected to each other by the connection part 200 to form a toilet seat. In more detail, the seat plate (hereinafter, referred to as the upper seat plate) located in the upper part of FIG. 1 among the seat plates 100 may have moving blocks 210 formed at both ends thereof. On the contrary, the seat plate (hereinafter, referred to as the lower seat plate) located in the lower part of FIG. 1 among the seat plates has guide parts 220 formed at both ends. The connection part 200 of the present invention is formed by inserting the moving block 210 of the upper seat is inserted into the guide portion 220 of the lower seat.

At this time, the cushion member 300 is formed between the upper seat and the lower seat. Between the upper seat and the lower seat, the moving block 210 of the upper seat is inserted into the guide part 220 of the lower seat, and the moving block 210 not inserted into the guide part 220 is the lower seat. It is formed to protrude outward. Thus, the upper seat and the lower seat are spaced apart by the protruding length, and the cushion member 300 is formed in the spaced portion.

As such, the cushion member 300 supports the weight of the user applied to the connection part 200 when the user sits on the toilet seat. For this reason, the durability of the toilet seat is improved by preventing breakage or deformation of the connection part 200.

In addition, the cushion member 300 is made of a material that gives the same or similar touch as the seat plate 100. As a result, the user may not feel a difference from the toilet seat formed of one seat plate, and thus the user may use the toilet seat smoothly.

In addition, the toilet seat fixing portion 110 is formed on one side of the upper seat. The toilet seat fixing unit 110 fixes the toilet seat to the left toilet seat and prevents the toilet seat from being separated from the toilet seat. As a result, the user may manipulate the lower seat to change the size of the toilet seat, and may prevent an accident due to the toilet seat being separated during the toilet seat use process.

In addition, the toilet seat fixing portion 110 is hinged to the left toilet seat can be rotated. For this reason, by urging and turning the toilet seat, it is possible to prevent the urine from splashing on the toilet seat while the male user is urinating. The toilet seat fixing unit 110 is a known technique, a detailed description of the technique will be omitted.

Next, FIG. 2 is a comparison conceptual view in which the size of the toilet seat is changed, and the operation of the present embodiment may be clearly understood.

As shown in FIG. 2, in the present invention, the upper seat is fixed by the toilet seat fixing unit 110, and the lower seat moves in accordance with a pulling and pushing operation of the lower seat so that the size of the toilet seat is increased. Variable.

The process is described in more detail as follows. If the user thinks that the size of the toilet seat does not fit their body shape in the process of using the toilet seat, the user pushes one of the seat plates 100, in which the toilet seat fixing part 110 is not formed, among the seat plates 100 constituting the toilet seat. Or pull. Accordingly, the length of the portion protruding out of the lower seat is changed by the sliding block 210 sliding along the guide part 220 in the connection part 200 connecting the seat plate 100. The connection part 200 is extended or shortened according to the length, and the spacing between the seat plates 100 is also changed to change the size of the toilet seat.

Among the change in the size of the toilet seat, Figure 2 (a) shows when the user pushes the lower seat in the direction of the toilet seat fixing portion 110 in the toilet seat shown in FIG. When the lower seat is pushed in the direction, the guide parts 220 formed at both ends of the lower seat move toward the upper seat. For this reason, the moving blocks 210 formed at both end portions of the upper seat plate are inserted deeper by sliding in the guide part 220. Accordingly, the length of the portion where the movable block 210 protrudes out of the end of the lower seat is reduced, and the connection part 200 is shortened. As such, as the connection part 200 is shortened, the distance between both ends of the upper seat and both ends of the lower seat is reduced, and the size of the toilet seat is reduced. In particular, as shown in (a) of FIG. 2, when the movable block 210 is inserted into the guide part 220 to the maximum, both ends of the upper seat and both ends of the lower seat contact each other, thereby The size is minimal. In addition, since the toilet seat is small, even a small person such as a child can use the toilet seat smoothly.

On the contrary, FIG. 2 (b) shows a case in which the user pushes the lower seat in the direction opposite to the toilet seat fixing part 110 in the toilet seat shown in FIG. 1. When the lower seat is pushed in the direction, the guide parts 220 formed at both ends of the lower seat are far from the upper seat. As a result, the moving blocks 210 formed at both ends of the upper seat plate slide out from the inside of the guide part 220. Accordingly, the length of the portion where the movable block 210 protrudes out of the end of the lower seat increases, and the connection part 200 extends. As such, as the connection part 200 extends, the distance between both ends of the upper seat and both ends of the lower seat increases, thereby increasing the size of the toilet seat. In particular, as shown in (b) of FIG. 2, when the moving block 210 is maximally separated from the guide part 220, both end portions of the upper seat plate and both ends of the lower seat plate are spaced apart from each other as much as possible, thereby The size is maximum. In addition, since the toilet seat is enlarged, a large body such as a pregnant woman or an obese person can smoothly use the toilet seat.

In addition, the above-described toilet seat variable process is performed by the user while watching the size of the toilet seat is changed directly. This makes it possible to vary the toilet seat size more quickly and accurately.

3 is an enlarged view of the inner circumferential surface of the guide unit 220 of the present embodiment, the portion shown to clearly determine the coupling relationship between the moving block 210 and the guide unit 220 of the connection unit 200. It is an enlarged view.

3, the separation prevention jaw 224 and the locking jaw 222 are formed on the inner circumferential surface of the guide part 220. The departure preventing jaw 224 prevents the moving block 210 sliding along the guide part 220 from being separated out of the guide part 220. For this reason, the movable block 210 is always connected to the guide unit 220 to prevent the seat plate 100 from being disassembled.

In addition, the locking jaw 222 is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the guide portion 220 at regular intervals, the moving block 210 to the locking jaw 222 in the process of sliding along the guide portion 220. I get caught. Thus, the movable block 210 is caught by the locking jaw 222 at the predetermined interval, and the interval between the seat plates 100 also changes at the constant interval. Accordingly, the size of the toilet seat also varies step by step.

Although the locking jaw 222 is illustrated in FIG. 3 as having two small protrusions formed at regular intervals along the inner circumferential surface of the guide part 220, the movable block 210 is caught by the locking jaw 222 while sliding. If possible, various embodiments may be implemented.

In addition, the moving block 220 is also shown in FIGS.

Although illustrated as being a shape, this is merely an example and is not limited thereto.

4 shows another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, the guide part 220 is formed at one end of the upper seat, and the moving block 210 is formed at the other side. On the contrary, the moving block 210 is formed at one end of the lower seat plate, and the guide part 220 is formed at the other side. For this reason, one side of the moving block 210 of the lower seat is inserted into the guide portion 220 of the upper seat, and the other side of the moving block 210 of the upper seat is inserted into the guide part 220 of the lower seat. The connection part 200 is formed.

Accordingly, the connection part 200 of the present embodiment is extended or shortened to the same length on one side and the other side. Therefore, when the number of seat plates 100 forming the toilet seat is increased, the size of the toilet seat is changed at a constant ratio, so that the user can use the toilet seat more comfortably.

The preferred embodiment of the toilet seat is adjustable in size according to the present invention.
