A flush toilet includes a bowl part that includes a waste-receiving surface with a bowl shape that receives waste and a rim part that extends upward on an upper edge part of the waste-receiving surface, a first water-spouting port that spouts a washing water toward the rim part to form a first flow of a washing water that swirls on the waste-receiving surface, a second water-spouting port that spouts a washing water toward the rim part to form a second flow of a washing water that joins the first flow, and a connection part that includes a concave surface that connects the waste-receiving surface and the rim part and is curved to have a curvature that decreases from an upstream side to a downstream side of the first flow just before the first water-spouting port or the second water-spouting port in a flow direction of the first flow.

Flush toilet

A flush toilet according to an embodiment includes a bowl part, a rim part, a water spout port, a bottom surface wall, and an extension part. The bowl part receives waste. The rim part is formed on a top of the bowl part. The water spout port spouts a washing water along the rim part. The bottom surface wall is formed in such a manner that a height thereof increases from a side of the water spout port toward a front end of the rim part, and forms a passing water channel where the washing water flows. The extension part extends a water spout region for the washing water that is spouted from the water spout port.

A flush toilet according to an embodiment includes a bowl part, a rim part, a water spout port, and a water storage part. The bowl part receives waste. The rim part is formed on a top of the bowl part. The water spout port spouts a washing water. The water storage part is formed on a bottom of the bowl part. A first region that is connected to a discharge channel and a second region that is located on a front side of the first region are formed in the water storage part. A main stream of the washing water that is spouted from the water spout port along the rim part swirls on the bowl part and flows into the first region.

A flush toilet according to the embodiment includes a main water guide channel, a downstream-side water guide channel, and a convex part. Through the main water guide channel, flush water supplied from a water supply source flows. The downstream-side water guide channel on a downstream side of the main water guide channel spouts the flush water from a water spout port of the downstream-side water guide channel. The convex part is formed in the downstream-side water guide channel. The convex part includes a first guide part that guides upward the flush water flowing through the downstream-side water guide channel, and a second guide part on a downstream side of the first guide part which guides downward the flush water.

A flush toilet according to an embodiment includes a bowl part, a rim part, a water spout port, and a water storage part. The bowl part receives waste. The rim part is formed on a top of the bowl part. The water spout port spouts a washing water from one side of the bowl part in leftward and rightward directions. The water storage part is formed on a bottom of the bowl part. The bowl part includes a guide part that causes the washing water to swirl from the one side to another side that is opposite to the one side and causes the washing water that swirls to the another side to flow into a back side of the water storage part.

A flush toilet according to an embodiment includes a bowl part, a rim part, and a water spout port. The bowl part receives waste. The rim part is formed on a top of the bowl part. The water spout port spouts a washing water along the rim part. A height of a bottom surface wall that forms a passing water channel where the washing water flows along the rim part increases from an end part on a side of the water spout port toward a front end of the bowl part.

A flush water volume regulator is provided, capable of constraining the occurrence of a buoyancy force acting on a water reservoir, whereby flush water in the water reservoir can be circulated with flush water in a flush water tank outside the water reservoir. The flush water volume regulatorof the invention has a water reservoir, being a water reservoirdisposed inside this flush water tank, capable of storing a predetermined amount of flush water, on which an openingthrough which flush water within water reservoirand flush water outside water reservoircan pass, and an opening-closing valvefor openingduring the standby state before starting a flush and for blocking openingor reducing the opening surface area of openingwhen the water level inside flush water tankis dropping after starting a flush.

Flush water volume regulator, flush water tank apparatus comprising said flush water volume regulator, and flush toilet comprising said flush water tank

A flush toilet includes a valve apparatus for spouting and stopping water to a storage tank or a toilet main unit supplied from a water supply source, and includes a pressurizing pump, being a reversely rotatable pump including a suctioning portion connected to the storage tank, a rim-side discharge portion connected to the toilet main unit rim spouting portion, a jet-side discharge portion connected to the toilet main unit jet spouting portion, and an impeller; and when the impeller is rotating in one direction, the pressurizing pump spouts flush water in the storage tank to the rim-side discharge portion, whereas when the impeller rotates in the other direction, the pressurizing pump spouts flush water in the storage tank to the jet-side discharge portion, or spouts flush water in the storage tank to both the rim-side discharge portion and the jet-side discharge portion.

A flush toilet which is capable of completing flushing of a bowl portion at or before termination of a siphon action, thereby improving toilet flushing performance in a situation where flushing is performed while generating a siphon action by using a reduced amount of flush water. The flush toilet is configured such that, after a first rim water spouting portion starts to spout flush water therefrom, a jet water spouting portion and a second rim water spouting portion start to spout flush water therefrom, in this order.
