DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a toilet which is more "in use" than when the toilet is "vacant".
The present invention relates to a toilet door device which is made wider in a state.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an arc-shaped door capable of covering a front opening of a toilet is provided in a "in use" state in which the front surface of the door is forward and the front opening of the toilet is covered. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-443 describes a device that is movable in the opposite direction and between an “empty” state facing the rear wall of the toilet.
No. 48, Japanese Patent Publication No. 8-6474, and Japanese Patent Publication No. 8-6474.
No.-6475.

[0003] In these apparatuses, the space in the toilet is larger in the "in use" state than in the "vacant" state of the toilet, and each toilet is in the "vacant" state. Sometimes, the space in front of each toilet can be widened, and when the toilet is “in use”, the space inside the toilet can be wide enough so that it does not interfere with the use of the toilet. This makes it possible to improve the efficiency of space utilization in the entire toilet room.

[0004]

However, in the above-described apparatus, when the toilet is in an "empty" state, the projecting surface of the door faces the rear wall of the toilet opposite to the closed position, and the toilet is closed. Because the front opening of the toilet is closed, the interior of the toilet cannot be seen, and there is a problem that it is difficult to perform cleaning and maintenance of the toilet because it is not possible to judge from outside the condition of the dirt inside the toilet and the amount of toilet paper reduction. . Also,
When the toilet is in an "empty" state, the inside of the toilet cannot be seen, so there is also a problem of security concerns and difficulty in understanding how to use the toilet.

[0005] Further, the above-mentioned conventional apparatus has a problem that the cost is inevitably high due to the large-scale structure for suspending and supporting the center of the arc-shaped door.

According to the present invention, in order to solve such a problem, the size of the space in the toilet is larger in the "in use" state than in the "empty" state of the toilet. In addition, when the toilet is in the "empty" state, the front opening of the toilet is widely opened so that the inside of the toilet can be seen, and the guide and support of the door are simple rails that are firmly attached. The purpose is to ensure that this is done with the structure.
