A toilet device includes a toilet, a cover, a casing and a toilet lid. The cover laterally covers a back part of the toilet. The casing is located on the toilet. The toilet lid is rotatably supported with respect to the casing. A second gap between the casing and the cover, a third gap between the casing and the closed toilet lid, and a fourth gap between the toilet and the cover each are connected to a back end portion of a first gap. The first gap is between the toilet and the closed toilet lid when viewed laterally.

Toilet device

A sanitary washing device includes a casing, a nozzle, and a nozzle drive unit. The nozzle drive unit advances and retracts the nozzle between a storage position and an advanced position. The nozzle drive unit includes a supporter, a gear, and a cable rack. The supporter includes a rail allowing the nozzle to slide. The gear applies a drive force to advance and retract the nozzle. The cable rack is connected with the nozzle and meshes with the gear. The cable rack includes a nozzle connection part connected with the nozzle. The gear and the cable rack mesh at a meshing part. The meshing part is positioned at a same position in a longitudinal direction as the nozzle connection part or further frontward than the nozzle connection part when the nozzle is at the storage position.

Sanitary washing device

A sanitary washing device is on a toilet including a bowl. The sanitary washing device includes a casing, a nozzle, a shielding plate, and a controller. The nozzle washes a human body private part. The nozzle is advanceable and retractable between a storage position and an advanced position. The shielding plate is rotatable with respect to the casing and positioned frontward of the nozzle when the nozzle is at the storage position. The controller controls an operation of the nozzle. The nozzle has a first spout hole squirting water. The shielding plate is at a first position when the nozzle is at the advanced position. The controller performs a frontward washing operation of squirting water after using the sanitary washing device. A part of the shielding plate is positioned frontward of a front end part of the nozzle in the frontward washing operation.

According to one embodiment, a sanitary washing apparatus includes a private part washing nozzle configured to wash a human body private part, a tube configured to supply water to the private part washing nozzle, an incoming water connection part connected to an upstream side of the tube and configured to supply water to the tube, a casing storing the private part washing nozzle, the tube, and the incoming water connection part, and a nozzle wash part configured to wash the private part washing nozzle. The private part washing nozzle is curved upward to be convex, and has a first region positioned frontward of the nozzle wash part in an advanced state in which the private part washing nozzle advances from the casing. The incoming water connection part is provided under the private part washing nozzle, and is rotatable.
