Description

  The present invention relates to toilet top equipment such as a toilet seat box and tank cover installed on the rear top surface of a Western-style toilet, and more particularly to a toilet top equipment suitable for application to a lift (floating) toilet top equipment.

  A toilet facility is known in which a toilet seat is attached to a toilet top surface facility such as a toilet seat box or a tank cover installed on the upper surface of a Western-style toilet so as to be able to rotate in the up-and-down direction. The bottom surface of the toilet top surface facility is configured by a base plate, and various devices are installed on the base plate.

  Dirt such as urine is infiltrated between the toilet seat box and the upper surface of the Western-style toilet bowl, which is likely to cause odor. In view of this, it has been proposed that at least a front portion of a toilet seat box or the like can be moved up and down with respect to a western style toilet, and the toilet seat box is moved (floated) together with the toilet seat when the western style toilet is cleaned.

  For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-324168 describes a toilet seat box in which a front base plate can be raised and lowered. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-97392 describes a low tank cover that allows a front base plate to be raised and lowered.

In these toilet upper surface facilities, an elevating drive device commonly referred to as a levitation unit is installed on the rear base plate.

  The base plate of the toilet upper surface equipment is usually made of a synthetic resin plate-shaped body. A base plate made of such a synthetic resin plate-shaped body may be warped due to residual distortion during molding.

  In addition, since various devices are installed on the base plate, the base plate warps due to the weight of the device between the time it is manufactured at the factory and the time it is installed on the toilet (toilet room). May be an obstacle. In particular, in the case of a floating toilet top surface equipment, the rear base plate is prone to warp because a heavy lifting unit is installed on the rear base plate.

  In order to prevent warping of the base plate, it may be possible to increase the thickness of the base plate or provide ribs, but the resin material cost and mold cost will increase, and the height of the toilet upper surface equipment will increase. There are things to do.

  An object of this invention is to provide the toilet bowl upper surface installation in which deformation | transformation of the curvature etc. of such a baseplate is prevented.
