Benefits of technology

This patent describes a toilet bowl design that reduces the amount of flush water used to flush the inner surface of the toilet bowl. It achieves this by designing a waste leading part that allows for flexural deformation, which makes it easier for the waste to move to the bottom part of the toilet bowl. Additionally, the toilet seat allows the user to hold the legs and keep the toilet device stable, making it easier for the user to use the toilet in a stable position.

Problems solved by technology

Such a toilet device as portable toilet equipment is used without being fixed in a toilet room, so that the entire toilet device is likely to move when a user sits on the toilet seat.

first embodiment

[0042][First Embodiment]FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a toilet device 10 according to the Also, FIG. 2 is a side view of the toilet device 10, and FIG. 3 is an exploded view of the toilet device 10.

[0043]The toilet device 10 comprises a toilet 12 (see FIG. 3) that receives waste, a tank 14 that supports the toilet 12, a toilet seat 16 supported by the tank 14, and a toilet lid 18 that opens and closes an opening 16a (described later) of the toilet seat 16. The toilet device 10 is mobile toilet equipment of which the toilet 12, tank 14, toilet seat 16, and toilet lid 18 can be collectively carried. In order to facilitate the carrying, the toilet device 10 is provided with a handle 19 (not illustrated in FIG. 1) detachably attached to the tank 14.

[0044]FIG. 4 is a diagram that shows an example of the state where the toilet device 10 is used.

[0045]The toilet device 10 is used in the state where the tank 14 is placed on the floor. A user sits on the toilet seat 16 to use the toilet. ...

third embodiment

[0130]Since the pair of seal wall parts 32 in the present embodiment are constituted by separate sheet members, the pair of seal wall parts 32 are able to move largely without restraining each other's movement. Accordingly, the degree of opening of the pair of seal wall parts 32 can be made greater, enabling early discharge of a large amount of waste. Even with such a structure, since the lid parts 52 cover the space between the pair of seal wall parts 32, odors of waste within the storage part 14e of the tank 14 are prevented from entering the toilet bowl part 20 through the space between the pair of seal wall parts 32. The effects described in this paragraph can also be obtained with the toilet 12 according to the

[0131]The inner passage of the discharge passage part 28 has a shape that becomes narrower in the longitudinal directions X and the lateral directions as approaching the lower side. Accordingly, since waste is led to the inner side in the lateral directions as well as to ...

second embodiment

[0146]The second embodiment describes an example in which the lifting member 38 is connected to a seal wall part 32 at one end, and to the outer periphery of the waste leading part 30 at the other end. Alternatively, the other end may be connected to the supported part 22, rather than the toilet bowl part 20 of the toilet 12, or may be connected the support body (tank) or the toilet seat 16 rather than the toilet 12.

[0147]When the waste leading part 30 is formed separately from the pair of seal wall parts 32 (valve structure 34) in the toilet 12, as described in the third and fourth embodiments, the waste leading part 30 of the toilet 12 need not necessarily have flexibility and may be formed of a hard material, such as pottery and resin. In this case, the pair of seal wall parts 32 (valve structure 34) are attached to the bottom part of the waste leading part 30 of the toilet 12.

[0148]Although not described in each embodiment, on the back side of the toilet lid 18, an attaching par...

Abstract

A toilet includes a toilet bowl part with a waste discharge hole formed on its bottom part and also includes a valve structure capable of opening and closing the waste discharge hole, and the toilet bowl part is formed of a material having flexibility. Accordingly, the toilet bowl part is easily bent by waste brought into the toilet bowl part. When the toilet bowl part is bent while waste is accumulated in the bottom part of the toilet bowl part, a gradient on an inner surface of the toilet bowl part becomes larger, so that the waste can be easily led to the bottom part of the toilet bowl part.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the Invention[0001]The present invention relates to a toilet, a toilet seat, and a toilet device.2. Description of the Related Art[0002]1. There have been conventionally proposed toilet devices such as portable toilet equipment and simple flush toilets. Toilet devices of this kind are used as ones suitable in an environment where sewerage cannot be used, such as in emerging countries and regions in which water infrastructure has not been improved yet.[0003]Patent document 1, for example, discloses a simple flush toilet using an elastically deformable sealing cylinder. The sealing cylinder is provided immediately below the evacuation port of the toilet and has a structure for enabling opening and closing of the evacuation port by means of the weight of waste received in the sealing cylinder. Accordingly, backflow of odors from the toilet tank, located deeper than the evacuation port of the toilet, can be prevented.[0004][Patent Document 1] Japan...
