[Solution] A multi-functional toilet seat cover is provided, which is a bag-shaped cover that is placed over the front of the toilet seat lid, and has a first detachable member on the surface of the cover, a second detachable member and a third attachment member on the back of the cover, and when the toilet seat lid is closed, the first detachable member and the third detachable member are attached to the cover and a cushioning material is attached to the surface of the cover, and when the toilet seat lid is open, the third detachable member is removed from the first detachable member and the second detachable member and the third detachable member are attached to the cover, so that the cushioning material becomes a backrest for the toilet seat. This makes it possible to provide a toilet backrest that can be easily attached to an existing toilet without having to carry out major renovation work.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a toilet seat cover that covers a toilet seat having various functions and a multifunctional toilet.

Background Art

[0002] Due to symptoms such as constipation and diarrhea, defecation may take time. Especially in the case of constipation, the movement in the intestine is slow and it takes a long time to defecate, so one has to sit on the toilet seat for a long time. Furthermore, when there are problems such as hemorrhoids or troubles around the anus, defecation takes time due to pain and discomfort, and there are cases where one has to sit on the toilet seat for a long time.

[0003] In recent years, due to the use of smartphones and tablets, the time spent in the toilet has become a relaxing time in some cases, and there are also an increasing number of cases where people stay in the toilet for an unnecessarily long time.

[0004] Sitting on the toilet seat for a long time as described above may cause poor blood flow and numbness in the legs. In addition, the pressure around the anus may increase, leading to the deterioration of hemorrhoids. Also, if defecation does not progress as expected, one may feel anxiety, which may further lead to stress. In order to solve the above problems, the backrest of a Western-style toilet described in Patent Document 1 has been invented.
