[Industrial applications]
The present invention is separately mounted so as to close a clearance space formed between a rear upper surface of the toilet seat and a sanitary washing device attached to the rear upper surface and cleaning a local part of a user. The present invention relates to a sanitary cover for preventing infiltration of wastewater.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Hitherto, many sanitary washing devices have been proposed, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3-38297. This is configured such that a casing containing a washing machine and the like is mounted on a mounting surface of a toilet seat, and the casing is fixed to a toilet body with fixing bolts. As described above, in the conventional sanitary washing device, the main body is fixed to the rear upper surface of the toilet seat by the bolts and the nuts so as to be exactly along the rear upper surface.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the conventional technique as described above, the body of the sanitary washing device is firmly fixed to the toilet seat by bolts and cannot be easily removed. It was difficult to feel free to clean.
[0004]
In particular, there are many cases where, for example, a child or the like accidentally catches small water between the apparatus body and the toilet-side toilet seat. In such a case, a small gap between the apparatus body and the toilet-side toilet seat is required. Since the sewage enters, it is difficult to clean as described above, and there is a hygienic problem.
[0005]
Furthermore, even if the bolt is loosened to remove the apparatus main body from the toilet seat, it may be difficult to place the apparatus main body in a narrow space such as a toilet when cleaning the mounting surface of the toilet seat. In order to clean the mounting surface of the toilet-side toilet seat, it is sufficient that there is a space between the main body of the apparatus and the toilet-side toilet seat, in which a hand or a rag can be temporarily inserted.
[0006]
The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and prevents infiltration of sewage between the toilet side toilet seat and the sanitary washing device, and between the toilet side and the device side. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a sanitary cover of a sanitary washing device which can secure a cleaning space between the toilet and the toilet and can easily clean the mounting surface of the toilet seat and can improve hygiene.
