AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a hinged flip cover mechanism for a toilet seat cover that has a low profile and minimal gap between the toilet seat cover and the main body when flipped up. This mechanism has a hinge module with two cranks that are connected to the front and rear support bases of the toilet seat cover. The bending position of the cranks facing down and pivoted to each other makes for a compact and stable hinge module that is easy to manufacture and clean. These technical features result in a toilet seat cover that has a simple appearance, occupies minimal space, and is convenient to use.

Problems solved by technology

However, this kind of toilet seat cover has high height and it occupies large gap.

first embodiment

The First Embodiment

[0042]Please referring to FIGS. 4-10, the hinged flip cover mechanism of toilet seat cover of the present invention comprises a main body and a toilet seat cover, it further comprises two hinge modules 3 (the number of the hinge module 3 is not limited, one or more than two are available). The main body is preferred the toilet rear cover 2 (it can be also the toilet seat), the toilet seat cover comprises a toilet upper cover 1 (the toilet seat cover can further comprise a toilet seat, or in other case, the toilet seat cover comprises the toilet upper cover and the toilet seat),the toilet upper cover 1 is connected to the toilet rear cover 2 by the two hinge modules 3, when the toilet upper cover is flipped up, the gap between the toilet upper cover 1 and the toilet rear cover 2 is gradually increased during the lifting of the seat cover. When closing the toilet seat cover, the gap between the toilet seat cover and the main body is gradually decreased during the c...

second embodiment

The Second Embodiment

[0050]As figured in FIG. 11, the hinged flip cover mechanism of toilet seat cover of this embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that: the driving mechanism comprises a driving shaft, the driving shaft is coaxially linked to the second end of the first hinge crank 32; it further comprises a gear case 8, which is assembled to the toilet rear cover 2, the output shaft of the gear case 8 forms the driving shaft. Or in other case, a slow-down mechanism replaces the gear case, the output shaft of the slow-down mechanism forms the driving shaft.

[0051]The hinged flip cover mechanism of toilet seat cover of this embodiment is provided that when the gear case 8 drives the second end of the first hinge crank 32 to rotate in the counter-clockwise direction, the first hinge crank 32 drives the front support base 31 to move forward and flip upward, at the same time, the second hinge crank 33 gradually extends out of the rear support base. When the gear case 4 drives...

third embodiment

The Third Embodiment

[0052]As figured in FIG. 12, the hinged flip cover mechanism of toilet seat cover of this embodiment differs from the second embodiment in that: the driving shaft is coaxially linked to the second end of the second hinge crank 33. in the same way, the output put of the gear case 8 (or the slow-down mechanism) is the driving shaft, or the gear case 8 (or the slow-down mechanism) is fixedly connected to the driving shaft.

[0053]The hinged flip cover mechanism of toilet seat cover of this embodiment is provided that: when the gear case 8 drives the second end of the second hinge crank 33 to rotate in the counter-clockwise direction, the sliding shaft of the first end of the second hinge crank 33 moves forward along the two axial sliding grooves of the chamber of the rear support base 34 so as to push the front support base 31 to move forward; during the front support base 31 moving forward, the first hinge crank 32 rotates, the sliding shaft 37 at the first end moves...

Abstract

A hinged flip cover mechanism of toilet seat cover, includes a main body, a toilet seat cover, and a hinge module. The toilet seat cover is connected to the main body via the hinge module. The hinge module comprises a first hinge crank and a second hinge crank, the first end of the first hinge crank is slidably coupled to the rear portion of the toilet seat cover, the second end of the first hinge crank is rotatably connected to the main body; the first end of the second hinge crank is slidably coupled to the main body, the second end of the second hinge crank is rotatably connected to the rear portion of the toilet seat cover; the central portions of the first hinge crank and the second hinge crank are pivoted to each other.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a toilet, especially to a hinged flip cover mechanism of toilet seat cover.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Existing toilet seat covers mostly apply with gear case to drive it to flip. One toilet seat cover is as figured in FIG. 1, a toilet rear cover 2′ is disposed at the rear side of the toilet upper cover 1′, the gear case 3′ is assembled to the rear cover 2′, the output shaft is rotatably connected to the rear portion of the toilet upper cover 1′. However, this kind of toilet seat cover has high height and it occupies large gap. Another toilet seat cover is figured in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, it differs from the toilet seat cover in FIG. 1 in that: the gear case 3′ is assembled at the outer side of the toilet rear cover 2′, a rack 4′ is disposed to couple to the gear case 3′ to drive the toilet upper cover 1′ to flip. This kind of toilet seat cover of FIG. 2 although has low height, the gap A between the toilet upper cover 1...
