Abstract
To provide a sheet deployment device that allows a user to replace sheets without direct contact and also enables capturing airborne droplets and microbes floating in the air.SOLUTION: A sheet deployment device 1 comprises: a Western-style toilet bowl 10; a weight sensor 21 that detects a user facing the toilet bowl 10; a conveyance part 40 that moves a sheet 100 between a storage position P1 in a storage space 190 inside a side wall of a toilet room 200 in which the toilet bowl 10 is installed, and a deployment position P2 in an inner space 191 of the toilet room 200, surrounding the toilet bowl 10; and a controller 16. The controller 16, on the basis of an output signal from the weight sensor 21, causes the conveyance part 40 to move the sheet 100 from the storage position P1 to the deployment position P2, and subsequently move it upward.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
