- Excessively airtight and lack of comfort ability are common shortcomings of a conventional close stool seat. Fabricated with a single material causes the toilet seat insufficient air ventilation. Such a hard and stuffy toilet seat let the user feel very uncomfortable at the thighs and hip when sitting a long time.
- In order to improve the manufacturing efficiency and curtail the production cost, and ensure the sustention strength as well, a common toilet seat is usually molded of a hard plastic material through ejection process, this brings about the aforesaid shortcomings that causes the user to feel his/her thighs and hip uncomfortable or even painful.
- Such flaws arise from the manufacturer's wrong concept of pursuing only convenience for fabrication and curtailment in cost that must be rectified for the benefit of the users.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a soft toilet seat with warm water cleaning equipment in which at both inner sides of the seat where entrains the user's body are provided with an elastic soft pad so as to serve the user a comfortable feeling when sitting on the seat.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide a soft toilet seat with warm water cleaning equipment in which a lighting equipment is provide along the edge of the seat so as to improve the surrounding mood by light.
- To achieve the aforesaid objects, the toilet seat of the present invention comprises a supporting frame and a seat. Wherein the seat is attached to the front edge of the supporting frame, and a toilet seat device lid is hinged to the rear side of the supporting frame such that the toilet seat device lid can cover the seat along top surface of the seat.
- The seat has a hard plastic inner layer with at least a soft pad formed on the surface of inner layer, and an outer layer enclosing both the inner layer and the soft pad in a completely sealed state.
- Lighting equipment is provided at the circumferential fringe of the seat and having a light source in a soft transparent luminaire so as to light the surrounding with a tender brightness.

FIG. 1 throughFIG. 3 , the soft toilet seat with warm water cleaning equipment provided by the present invention in a first embodiment essentially comprises a supportingframe 1, atoilet seat 2, a toiletseat device lid 3, and aremote controller 4, wherein a control equipment and a spraying device for providing warm cleaning water are installed in the supporting frame 1 (both not shown). Theseat 2 is attached to the front edge of the supportingframe 1, and thelid 3 is hinged to the supportingframe 1 with its rear side such that thelid 3 is able to cover theseat 2 along its top surface. A softelastic pad 22 is formed at one side of theseat 2 so as to serve the user of the toilet seat device a comfortable feeling. - Referring to
FIG. 4A for further explanation, theseat 2 is composed of aninner layer 21 and anouter layer 23, the surface of theinner layer 21 has at least asoft pad 22 whereas theinner layer 21 and thesoft pad 22 are enclosed with theouter layer 23 in a perfect hermetical state. Acavity 211 is gouged out inwardly from the top surface of theinner layer 21 to set thesoft pad 22 having the same shape with thecavity 211. Theouter layer 23 is essentially an enclosing layer formed of soft or hard plastic material. Furthermore,FIG. 4B is another embodiment of the present invention in which thesoft pad 22 can be directly fitted on theinner layer 21. - The
soft pad 22 provided in theseat 2 at both sides, is molded with silicon rubber material, or rubber or the like which has resiliency capable of deforming when sustaining the user's weight on theseat 2. By so, the reactive force exerted to the user from two sides of theseat 2 is alleviated thereby making the user comfortable. - In the second embodiment of the present invention shown in
FIG. 8 andFIG. 9 , lighting equipment 24 (seeFIG. 5 ) is inlaid in the bottom or side edge of theseat 2 in the manner of flush with, or protruded from upwards theseat 2. Thelighting equipment 24 contains alight source 241 enclosed with a soft transparent luminaire 242 (seeFIG. 6 .). Thelighting equipment 24 is electrically connected with the control equipment (not shown) in the supportingframe 1. By hermetically enclosing in the softtransparent luminaire 242, a strip type LED, optical fiber or flake type electro luminescence can be used as thelight source 241 so as to provide tender illumination thereby importing the mood of the surrounding. - In a third embodiment shown in
FIG. 7 , thelight source 241 is installed at the edge of theinner layer 21 of theseat 2, and then theinner layer 21,soft pad 22 and thelight source 241 are hermetically enclosed in theouter layer 23 which being made of a transparent material, semitransparent material or opaque material. Meanwhile, the aforesaidouter layer 23 may be a hermetical enclosure formed of a material of partially transparent, partially semitransparent, or partially opaque. - The
inner layer 21,soft pad 22 and theouter layer 23 are molded of similar or different colored plastic by ejection process. - For increasing variation in practical application, the
soft pad 22 may be formed into a single color member or mixed with a heat discoloration material, while theouter layer 23 is made of a semitransparent material. When being completely enclosed by theouter layer 23 the contour and the color of thesoft pad 22 can be ambiguously seen from theouter layer 23 at the riding portion. The heating unit (not shown) installed in theseat 2 heats theseat 2 to comfortable warmth after the user has sat a while. Thesoft pad 22 is also able to change its color in accordance with variation of the temperature thereby improving the visual effect. - It emerges from the description of the above embodiments that the invention has several noteworthy advantages, in particular:
- (1) The main sustention strength is provided by the hard plastic inner layer whose soft pad laid on its surface contributes to even distribution of the user's body weight on the seat.
- (2) The present invention provides a comfortable and healthy toilet seat with warm water cleaning equipment.
