[0008] <Embodiment 1> A first embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to Figures 1 to 4. A toilet facility A of this first embodiment is disposed in a toilet room 10 in which a toilet device 15 is installed. The toilet facility A includes a non-contact remote control 20 attached to a right wall surface 12 of the toilet room 10, and toilet ancillary facilities 30, 33, and 35 also attached to the right wall surface 12.

[0009] In the following explanation, with regard to the front-to-rear direction of the toilet room 10 and the toilet device 15, the side in front of a user (not shown) seated on the toilet seat 16 of the toilet device 15 is defined as the front side, and the side behind the user is defined as the rear side. The left side in Figures 1 and 2 is defined as the front. With regard to the up-down direction, the directions shown in Figure 1 are defined as the up and down directions. With regard to the left-to-right direction, the directions as seen by a user seated on the toilet seat 16 are defined as the left and right directions.

[0010] The toilet room 10 has a rear wall 11, a right wall 12, and a left wall 13. A toilet device 15 is fixed to the rear wall 11. The toilet device 15 protrudes forward from the rear wall 11 with a predetermined distance between it and the right wall 12 and the left wall 13. The toilet device 15 is equipped with various electric devices (not shown). The electric devices include a shower flushing device, a shower temperature setting device, a shower position setting device, a toilet seat opening and closing device, a toilet seat temperature setting device, a toilet lid opening and closing device, a toilet flushing device, etc.

[0011] The non-contact remote control 20 is installed on the right wall surface 12. The non-contact remote control 20 has a box-shaped remote control body 21. The non-contact remote control 20 is attached with the front surface 22 of the remote control body 21 facing leftward and the back surface 23 of the remote control body 21 overlapping the right wall surface 12. The depth direction of the non-contact remote control 20 is a direction perpendicular to the front surface 22 and the back surface 23 of the remote control body 21 and is a direction perpendicular to the right wall surface 12. The non-contact remote control 20 may be attached with the back side portion of the remote control body 21 embedded inside the right wall surface 12.

[0012] The non-contact remote control 20 houses a liquid crystal display (not shown) in a box-shaped remote control body 21, and has a special plate disposed on the front surface 22 of the remote control body 21. A horizontally elongated operation sensor 24 that detects by infrared rays protrudes horizontally in the shape of a plate from the lower edge of the front surface 22 of the remote control body 21. When an image of the operation section displayed on the liquid crystal display passes through the plate, an image of a two-dimensional planar aerial operation section 25 is formed outside the remote control body 21.

[0013] When the non-contact remote control 20 is viewed facing the front 22 of the remote control body 21, the aerial operation unit 25 forms a horizontally long rectangle. When the non-contact remote control 20 is viewed from the front parallel to the front 22 of the remote control body 21, the aerial operation unit 25 is inclined with respect to the horizontal and vertical directions. The aerial operation unit 25 is inclined in a direction facing the front when viewed diagonally from the upper left. The nearest end 26 of the aerial operation unit 25, which is closest to the front 22 of the remote control body 21 in the depth direction, is the upper edge of the aerial operation unit 25. The farthest end 27 of the aerial operation unit 25, which is farthest from the front 22 of the remote control body 21 in the depth direction, is the lower edge of the aerial operation unit 25. In the depth direction, the aerial operation unit 25 is disposed between the protruding end of the operation sensor 24 and the front 22 of the remote control body 21.

[0014] The aerial operation unit 25 is an image formed in the air so that it can be operated without touching the remote control body 21. The position of the nearest end 26 of the aerial operation unit 25 is set at a position spaced a predetermined distance from the front face 22 of the remote control body 21 in the depth direction. The predetermined distance between the front face 22 of the remote control body 21 and the nearest end 26 of the aerial operation unit 25 is a distance at which there is no risk of a finger touching the remote control body 21 when trying to operate the aerial operation unit 25.

[0015] The aerial operation unit 25 displays a plurality of switches 28 for controlling various electrically-driven devices provided in the toilet device 15. When operating the aerial operation unit 25, a finger is moved to the switch 28 to be operated. The operation sensor 24 detects the position of the finger, thereby identifying the switch 28 to be operated, and the electrically-driven devices of the toilet device 15 are controlled.

[0016] The toilet ancillary equipment includes a pair of paper roll holders 30, a handrail 32, and a contact-type remote control 35. The pair of paper roll holders 30 are arranged side by side at the same height, front to back. In the vertical direction, the paper roll holders 30 are arranged at a higher position than the toilet lid 17 when closed. The front paper roll holder 30 is arranged forward of the front end of the toilet apparatus 15. The rear paper roll holder 30 is arranged at the same position as the front end of the toilet apparatus 15. The paper roll holders 30 are arranged at a position separated to the right of the toilet apparatus 15.

[0017] The handrail 32 consists of a horizontal bar 33 in the front-to-rear direction and a vertical bar 34 extending upward from the front end of the horizontal bar 33. The horizontal bar 33 is arranged so as to follow the upper end surfaces of the pair of front and rear paper roll holders 30. The horizontal bar 33 is arranged above the toilet lid 17 in the closed state. The rear end of the horizontal bar 33 is located behind the front end of the toilet device 15, and the front end of the horizontal bar 33 is located forward of the front end of the toilet device 15. The horizontal bar 33 is arranged in a position spaced apart to the right of the toilet device 15. The direction perpendicular to the right wall surface 12 is defined as the depth direction. In the depth direction, the paper roll holder 30 protrudes toward the toilet device 15 beyond the horizontal bar 33.

[0018] On the front of the contact remote control 35, there are provided a number of switches (not shown) corresponding to the various electrically-driven devices provided in the toilet apparatus 15, and a number of Braille displays (not shown) arranged near each switch. By operating the switches with a finger, each electrically-driven device of the toilet apparatus 15 can be activated or stopped. A visually impaired person can operate the contact remote control 35 to activate or stop each electrically-driven device of the toilet apparatus 15 by touching the Braille displays to confirm the type and position of the switch.

[0019] The toilet ancillary equipment 30, 33, 35, like the non-contact remote control 20, are attached to the right wall surface 12 of the toilet room 10. A pair of toilet paper roll holders 30 as toilet ancillary equipment and a handrail 32 as toilet ancillary equipment are installed on the right wall surface 12. A contact remote control 35 as toilet ancillary equipment is installed on the left wall surface 13 of the toilet room 10.

[0020] The attachment position of the non-contact remote control 20 on the right wall 12 is above the paper roll holder 30 and the horizontal bar 33 in the vertical direction. In the front-to-rear direction, the non-contact remote control 20 is disposed in an area extending from a position forward of the rear end of the rear paper roll holder 30 to a position rearward of the rear end of the rear paper roll holder 30. In other words, the rear end of the paper roll holder 30 and the front end of the non-contact remote control 20 are located in the same area in the front-to-rear direction. The depth dimension D1 (see FIG. 4) from the right wall 12 to the farthest end 27 of the aerial operation unit 25 is smaller than the depth dimension D2 (see FIG. 2) of the paper roll holder 30.

[0021] When a user of the toilet device 15 uses toilet paper 31 from the toilet paper holder 30 while seated, the user moves the right hand diagonally upward and to the right. Before the right hand is moved, the right hand is either resting on the thigh or knee, or hanging down to the right of the lower leg. In this case, as the right hand approaches the toilet paper holder 30, the part of the upper leg from the elbow to the tip of the right hand swings upward with the elbow joint as a fulcrum.

[0022] When using the paper roll holder 30 with the left hand, the left hand is stretched widely to the right and moved diagonally upwards. In this case, in accordance with the movement of the left hand, the part of the upper limb from the shoulder joint to the tip of the left hand swings diagonally upwards and to the right with the shoulder joint as the fulcrum, and the elbow joint is extended.

[0023] Whether used with the left or right hand, the area over which the upper limbs move is the area below the top end of the paper holder 30 in the vertical direction, and the area from the rear end of the toilet device 15 to the front end of the front paper holder 30 in the front-to-rear direction. This area is the area over which the upper limbs of the user of the toilet device 15 pass when using the paper holder 30 while seated. Because the non-contact remote control 20 is positioned above the paper holder 30, the area over which the upper limbs move when using the paper holder 30 is only the area below the non-contact remote control 20.

[0024] When a user of the toilet device 15 uses the horizontal bar 33 while seated, the right hand moves diagonally upward and to the right. As the right hand moves, the part of the upper limb from the elbow to the tip of the right hand swings upward with the elbow joint as a fulcrum. The area in which the upper limb moves at this time is the area below the horizontal bar 33 in the vertical direction, and the area from the rear end of the toilet device 15 to the front end of the horizontal bar 33 in the front-rear direction. This area is the area through which the user's upper limbs pass when the user of the toilet device 15 uses the horizontal bar 33 of the handrail 32 while seated. Since the non-contact remote control 20 is disposed above the horizontal bar 33, the area in which the upper limbs move when using the horizontal bar 33 is only the area below the non-contact remote control 20.

[0025] The aerial operation unit 25 can be properly viewed from the direction directly facing the aerial operation unit 25. The aerial operation unit 25 cannot be viewed even when viewed from an oblique direction relative to the directly facing direction. Therefore, when attempting to use the paper roll holder 30 or the horizontal bar 33, there is a concern that the hand or arm may pass through the aerial operation unit 25, resulting in erroneous operation of the non-contact remote control 20. However, when using either the paper roll holder 30 or the horizontal bar 33, the upper limb does not pass through the aerial operation unit 25, so the non-contact remote control 20 will not be erroneously operated.

[0026] The toilet device 15 is provided with a seating sensor (not shown) that detects whether or not the user is seated on the toilet seat 16. When the seating sensor detects that the user is not seated on the toilet seat 16, it is possible to operate the aerial operation unit 25 of the non-contact remote control 20, but some of the electrically powered devices will not operate even if the toilet device 15 receives an operation signal. In other words, some of the electrically powered devices will not operate even if a finger or hand is moved to the aerial operation unit 25. Furthermore, some of the electrically powered devices will not operate even if the contact remote control 35 is operated. However, it is possible to operate only necessary functions such as toilet flushing operation even when the user is not seated on the toilet seat 16. Furthermore, it is also possible to operate the electrically powered devices when the contact remote control 35 is operated.

[0027] The toilet equipment A of this embodiment 1 includes a paper roll holder 30, a handrail 32, and a contact remote control 35 as toilet auxiliary equipment, and a non-contact remote control 20. The paper roll holder 30, the handrail 32, and the contact remote control 35 are arranged in the toilet room 10, and are equipment that can be used by a user of the toilet device 15 while seated. The non-contact remote control 20 has an aerial operation unit 25 that is imaged in the air. The non-contact remote control 20 electrically controls the toilet device 15 by operating the aerial operation unit 25.

[0028] The aerial operation unit 25 is positioned outside the area through which the user's upper limbs pass when using the paper roll holder 30, the handrail 32, and the contact remote control 35. When a user of the toilet device 15 uses the paper roll holder 30, the handrail 32, and the contact remote control 35 while seated, the upper limbs do not pass through the aerial operation unit 25 of the non-contact remote control 20. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a user seated on the toilet seat 16 from erroneously operating the non-contact remote control 20 when using the paper roll holder 30, the handrail 32, and the contact remote control 35.

[0029] Since the aerial operation part 25 is arranged above the paper roll holder 30 and the horizontal bar 33 of the handrail 32, when a user seated on the toilet device 15 moves his / her upper limbs upward toward the paper roll holder 30 or the horizontal bar 33, the upper limbs do not pass through the aerial operation part 25 of the non-contact remote control 20.

[0030] The depth dimension D2 of the paper roll holder 30 is set larger than the depth dimension D1 from the right wall surface 12 to the farthest end 27 of the aerial operation part 25, so that when a user seated on the toilet device 15 moves his / her upper limbs toward the paper roll holder 30, the upper limbs do not pass through the aerial operation part 25 of the non-contact remote control 20.

[0031] A contact remote control 35 having Braille markings is included in the toilet ancillary equipment. A user of the toilet device 15 can operate either the non-contact remote control 20 or the contact remote control 35. The contact remote control 35 is disposed on the left wall 13, which is different from the right wall 12 on which the non-contact remote control 20 is attached, among the multiple walls constituting the toilet room 10. This prevents a visually impaired person from erroneously operating the non-contact remote control 20 when using the contact remote control 35.

[0032] <Embodiment 2> A second embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to Fig. 5. In toilet equipment B of the second embodiment, the configuration of toilet ancillary equipment 30, 35, 39 differs from that of the first embodiment, and the arrangement of toilet ancillary equipment 30, 35, 39 and non-contact remote control 20 differs from that of the first embodiment. Since the configurations of toilet room 10, toilet bowl device 15, non-contact remote control 20, and contact remote control 35 are the same as those of the first embodiment, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and a description of the structure, action, and effect will be omitted.

[0033] A non-contact remote control 20, a pair of toilet paper roll holders 30 as toilet ancillary equipment, a shelf 39 as toilet ancillary equipment, and a contact remote control 35 as toilet ancillary equipment are installed on the right wall surface 12 of the toilet room 10. The non-contact remote control 20 is disposed forward of the front end of the toilet device 15 in the front-rear direction, and is disposed above the toilet lid 17 in the closed state in the up-down direction.

[0034] The pair of paper roll holders 30 are arranged side by side at the same height in the front-to-back direction. The pair of paper roll holders 30 are arranged at a position higher than the toilet lid 17 when closed. In the front-to-rear direction, the front paper roll holder 30 is arranged in an area that includes the front end of the toilet apparatus 15. The rear paper roll holder 30 is arranged in a position rearward of the front end of the toilet apparatus 15. The pair of paper roll holders 30 are arranged in a position spaced apart to the right of the toilet apparatus 15.

[0035] The pair of paper roll holders 30 are arranged next to each other behind the non-contact remote control 20. The non-contact remote control 20 and the pair of paper roll holders 30 are arranged in the front-to-rear direction with their upper ends aligned at the same height. When viewed from a user (not shown) sitting on the toilet seat 16, the non-contact remote control 20 is arranged forward of the paper roll holder 30, that is, farther away than the paper roll holder 30. The depth dimension of the paper roll holder 30 is set to be greater than the distance from the right wall surface 12 to the farthest end 27 of the aerial operation unit 25 of the non-contact remote control 20.

[0036] The shelf 39 is made of a horizontal flat plate material. In a plan view of the shelf 39 seen from above, the shelf 39 is rectangular with its long side facing the front-rear direction and its short side facing the left-right direction. In the front-rear direction, the shelf 39 has a length from the front end of the non-contact remote control 20 to the rear end of the rear paper roll holder 30. The shelf 39 is provided continuously from the front end of the non-contact remote control 20 to the area behind the rear end of the non-contact remote control 20. The shelf 39 is provided over a range that covers the entire non-contact remote control 20 and the pair of front and rear paper roll holders 30 from above. The depth dimension of the shelf 39 is set to a dimension larger than the distance from the right wall surface 12 to the farthest end 27 of the aerial operation unit 25.

[0037] The contact remote control 35 is disposed at a position above the shelf board 39. In the front-rear direction, the contact remote control 35 is disposed in approximately the same area as the pair of paper roll holders 30. The contact remote control 35 is disposed above the non-contact remote control 20 and behind the non-contact remote control 20.

[0038] When a user of the toilet device 15 uses toilet paper 31 from the toilet paper holder 30 while seated, the user moves the right hand diagonally upward and to the right. Before the right hand is moved, the right hand is either resting on the thigh or knee, or hanging down to the right of the lower leg. As the right hand approaches the toilet paper holder 30, the part of the upper leg from the elbow to the tip of the right hand swings upward with the elbow joint as a fulcrum.

[0039] When using the paper roll holder 30 with the left hand, the left hand is moved diagonally upward while being moved significantly to the right. In this case, the part of the upper limb from the shoulder joint to the tip of the left hand swings diagonally upward and to the right with the shoulder joint as the fulcrum in accordance with the movement of the left hand. Whether using the left or right hand, the area in which the upper limb moves is an area behind the rear end of the non-contact remote control 20 in the front-to-rear direction, so the non-contact remote control 20 will not be operated erroneously.

[0040] When a user seated on the toilet device 15 attempts to grab an object (not shown) placed in the rear end area of ​​the shelf 39, i.e., directly above the paper holder 30, with their right hand, they move their right hand diagonally upward and to the right, just as when using the paper holder 30. When a user attempts to grab an object placed in the rear end area of ​​the shelf 39 with their left hand, they move their left hand diagonally upward and to the right, just as when using the paper holder 30. Whether using the toilet device with the left or right hand, the area in which the upper limbs move is an area behind the rear end of the non-contact remote control 20 in the front-to-rear direction, so there is no risk of erroneous operation of the non-contact remote control 20.

[0041] When a user seated on the toilet device 15 attempts to grab an object (not shown) placed in the front end area of ​​the shelf 39, i.e., directly above the non-contact remote control 20, with his or her right hand, the right hand is moved diagonally upward and to the front right. Since the non-contact remote control 20 is positioned below the shelf 39, if the right arm is moved along the upper surface of the shelf 39, the right arm will not pass through the aerial operation unit 25. Since the paper roll holder 30 protrudes to the left of the aerial operation unit 25, even if the right arm moves to pass in front of the paper roll holder 30 and the non-contact remote control 20 in a side view, the right arm will not pass through the aerial operation unit 25. Therefore, the user will not erroneously operate the non-contact remote control 20.

[0042] When a visually impaired person seated on the toilet device 15 operates the switch 37 relying on the Braille display 38 on the contact remote control 35, the right hand moves diagonally upward and to the right. When a visually impaired person operates the contact remote control 35 with the left hand, the left hand moves diagonally upward and to the right. Whether operating with the left or right hand, the area in which the upper limbs move is an area behind the rear end of the non-contact remote control 20 in the front-to-rear direction, so there is no risk of erroneous operation of the non-contact remote control 20.

[0043] The aerial operation unit 25 is disposed at a position farther away from the paper roll holder 30 and the contact remote control 35 as viewed from a user seated in the toilet device 15. When a user seated in the toilet device 15 moves his / her upper limbs forward toward the paper roll holder 30 or the contact remote control 35, the upper limbs do not pass through the aerial operation unit 25 of the non-contact remote control 20.

[0044] The paper roll holder 30 and the non-contact remote control 20 are arranged side by side on the right wall surface 12 of the toilet room 10. The depth dimension of the paper roll holder 30 is set to be larger than the depth dimension from the right wall surface 12 to the farthest end 27 of the aerial operation unit 25. When a user seated on the toilet device 15 moves his / her upper limbs toward the paper roll holder 30, the upper limbs do not pass through the aerial operation unit 25.

[0045] <Embodiment 3> A third embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to Figures 6 to 7. A toilet facility C of the third embodiment differs from that of the first embodiment in the configuration of the toilet ancillary facilities 30, 35, and 40, and in the arrangement of the toilet ancillary facilities 30, 35, and 40 and the non-contact remote control 20. Since the configurations of the toilet room 10, the toilet device 15, the non-contact remote control 20, and the contact remote control 35 are the same as those of the first embodiment, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and a description of the structure, action, and effect will be omitted.

[0046] A non-contact remote control 20, a pair of toilet paper roll holders 30 as toilet ancillary equipment, a storage shelf 40 as toilet ancillary equipment, and a contact remote control 35 as toilet ancillary equipment are installed on the right wall surface 12 of the toilet room 10. The non-contact remote control 20 is disposed in an area including the front end of the toilet device 15 in the front-rear direction. The non-contact remote control 20 is disposed above the toilet lid 17 in the closed state in the up-down direction.

[0047] The pair of paper roll holders 30 are arranged side by side at the same height in the front-to-rear direction. The pair of paper roll holders 30 are located at the same height as the non-contact remote control 20 and arranged side by side in front of the non-contact remote control 20. The depth dimension D2 of the pair of paper roll holders 30 is set to be larger than the distance (depth dimension D1) from the right wall surface 12 to the farthest end 27 of the aerial operation unit 25 of the non-contact remote control 20.

[0048] The storage shelf 40 is fixed to the right wall surface 12 while being placed on the floor surface 14 of the toilet room 10. The height of the upper surface of the storage shelf 40 is the same as the upper surface of the non-contact remote control 20 and the upper surfaces of the pair of paper roll holders 30. The storage shelf 40 is disposed adjacent to the rear of the non-contact remote control 20. The depth dimension D3 of the storage shelf 40 is set to a dimension larger than the distance (depth dimension D1) from the right wall surface 12 to the farthest end 27 of the aerial operation unit 25 of the non-contact remote control 20. The contact remote control 35 is disposed directly above the storage shelf 40.

[0049] When a user (not shown) of the toilet device 15 uses toilet paper 31 from the toilet paper holder 30 while seated, the user moves the right hand diagonally upward and to the right. Before the right hand is moved, the right hand is either resting on the thigh or knee, or hanging down to the right of the lower leg. As the right hand approaches the toilet paper holder 30, the part of the upper leg from the elbow to the tip of the right hand swings upward with the elbow joint as a fulcrum.

[0050] When using the paper roll holder 30 with the left hand, the left hand is moved diagonally upwards while moving significantly to the right. In this case, the part of the upper limb from the shoulder joint to the tip of the left hand swings diagonally to the upper right with the shoulder joint as the fulcrum as the left hand moves. When a user seated on the toilet device 15 looks at the non-contact remote control 20 and the paper roll holder 30 from behind, the paper roll holder 30 protrudes in the left-right direction toward the toilet device 15 beyond the farthest end 27 of the aerial operation unit 25. Whether the device is used with the left or right hand, the area in which the upper limb moves is the area to the left of the farthest end 27 of the aerial operation unit 25 in the depth direction. Since the upper limb does not pass through the aerial operation unit 25, the non-contact remote control 20 will not be operated erroneously.

[0051] When a user seated on the toilet device 15 attempts to grab an object stored in the lower storage section 41 of the storage shelf 40 with his / her right hand, the right hand moves downward. The area in which the upper limbs move at this time is below and behind the aerial operation unit 25. Since the upper limbs do not pass through the aerial operation unit 25, the non-contact remote control 20 will not be operated erroneously.

[0052] When a user seated on the toilet device 15 attempts to grab an object stored in the middle storage compartment 42 of the storage shelf 40 with his / her right hand, he / she moves his / her elbow backward and moves his / her right hand toward the middle storage compartment 42. At this time, the area in which the upper limb moves is below the aerial operation unit 25 and behind the aerial operation unit 25, so that the non-contact remote control 20 will not be operated erroneously.

[0053] When a user seated on the toilet device 15 attempts to grab an object stored in the upper storage section 43 of the storage shelf 40 with his / her left hand, the user moves the left hand significantly to the right while straightening the elbow joint. Until the left hand reaches the upper storage section 43, the movement area of ​​the upper limbs is an area to the left of the farthest end 27 of the aerial operation section 25, so the upper limbs do not pass through the aerial operation section 25. After the left hand reaches the upper storage section 43, the movement area of ​​the upper limbs is an area behind the non-contact remote control 20, so the upper limbs do not pass through the aerial operation section 25. Therefore, the non-contact remote control 20 is not erroneously operated.

[0054] When a visually impaired person seated in the toilet device 15 operates the switch 37 relying on the Braille display 38 on the contact remote control 35, the visually impaired person moves the right hand upward while moving the elbow backward. As the right hand approaches the contact remote control 35, the right arm also approaches the front of the storage shelf 40. When operating the contact remote control 35 with the left hand, the left hand is moved diagonally upward and to the right. As the left hand approaches the contact remote control 35, the left palm approaches the upper end of the front of the storage shelf 40. The storage shelf 40 protrudes towards the toilet device 15 in the left-right direction beyond the farthest end 27 of the aerial operation unit 25. Whether operating with the left or right hand, the upper limb does not pass through the aerial operation unit 25, so the non-contact remote control 20 will not be operated erroneously.

[0055] The paper roll holder 30, the storage shelf 40, and the non-contact remote control 20 are arranged side by side on the right wall surface 12 of the toilet room 10. The depth dimensions D2, D3 of the paper roll holder 30 and the storage shelf 40 are greater than the depth dimension D1 from the right wall surface 12 to the farthest end 27 of the aerial operation unit 25. When a user seated on the toilet device 15 moves his / her upper limbs toward the paper roll holder 30 or the storage shelf 40, the upper limbs do not need to pass through the aerial operation unit 25.
