A flush toilet includes a toilet body that includes a bowl part that receives waste, a functional part that is provided on a back side of the toilet body, a panel member that covers a side surface of the functional part, a magnet that is provided on one of the panel member and the toilet body, a magnetic body that is provided on another of the panel member and the toilet body, and a holding part that holds one of the magnet and the magnetic body so as to be capable of being moved or deformed toward another of the magnet and the magnetic body.

Flush toilet

A flush toilet includes a toilet body that includes a bowl part that receives waste, a functional part that is provided on a back side of the toilet body, a panel member that covers a side surface of the functional part, a magnet that is provided on one of the panel member and the toilet body, and a magnetic body that is provided on another of the panel member and the toilet body, where at least one of the panel member and the toilet body includes an attachment part that includes a recessed part for attaching the magnet or the magnetic body to the attachment part.

A flush toilet according to embodiments includes: a toilet body, a function unit, a panel member, and a holding part. The function unit is arranged in a rear part of the toilet body. The panel member covers a side surface of the function unit. The holding part causes the toilet body and a side surface of the panel member to attract and hold to each other by using magnetic force. In a state where being attached to the toilet body, the panel member is formed to be curved toward the toilet body. The holding part is formed such that an attraction surface of a panel-side magnetic material that is provided to the panel member and an attraction surface of a body-side magnetic material that is provided to the toilet body are formed in plane-shaped.

A flush toilet includes: a toilet body; a function unit arranged in a rear part of the toilet body; a panel member covering a side surface of the function unit and including a protruding part protruding toward the toilet body; and a holding part causing the toilet body and the panel member to hold to each other by magnetic force. The toilet body includes: a reception part arranged under the protruding part and receiving the protruding part in a state where the panel member is attached to the toilet body; and a protrusion part extending upward from the reception part. When the panel member is attached to the toilet body, the protrusion part is in a position where at least a part of the protrusion part is overlapped with the protruding part in a rear view when the toilet body is viewed from behind.

A flush toilet includes a toilet body that includes a bowl part that receives waste, a functional part that is provided on a back side of the toilet body, a panel member that covers a side surface of the functional part, a first holding part that adsorbs and holds the toilet body and a side surface of the panel member by magnetic force, and a second holding part that adsorbs and holds the functional part and a side surface of the panel member by magnetic force. The panel member is capable of being slid frontward, backward, upward, and downward in a state where the panel member is adsorbed and held by the first holding part and the second holding part.

Provided is a tank device capable of restraining splashing of flush water during water supply to suppress a water slapping sound. A tank device for supplying flush water stored therein to a flush toilet comprises: a tank main unit for storing flush water in an internal spaceC thereof defined by an inner wall surface which comprises a transverse surfaceB extending in a transverse direction and a standing surfaceA extending in an up-down direction; and a water supply memberfor supplying flush water from a water supply portA to the internal space of the tank main unit, the water supply memberbeing configured to spout flush water toward the inner wall surface defining the internal spaceC, wherein the tank main unit comprises a flow rectifying portionprovided in a region of the inner wall surface to which flush water is spouted, the flow rectifying portionhaving a convex partA and a concave partB each formed on the inner wall surface.

Tank device

There are included a toilet body including a bowl part that receives waste; a function unit that is arranged in a rear portion of the toilet body; a panel member that covers a side surface of the function unit; a magnet that is provided to the panel member; and a magnetic material that is provided to an attachment part of the toilet body, wherein the magnetic material is elastically deformable, and is attached to the attachment part to put the attachment part therebetween.

A flush toilet includes a toilet main body and a tank device. The tank device includes a storage tank, and a water supply unit configured to supply flush water to the storage tank. The storage tank includes a first upper surface including a water passage port through which the flush water supplied from the water supply unit flows into the storage tank, a second upper surface that is lower than the first upper surface, and a third upper surface that is provided between the first upper surface and the second upper surface and that is lower than the second upper surface. The storage tank further includes an air vent unit that is provided at the second upper surface and that is configured to purge air from the storage tank.

A flush toilet includes a toilet main body and a tank device. The tank device includes a water supply unit a storage tank, a pump, and a suction pipe. The water supply unit is configured to supply the flush water the storage tank while the pump is being driven. The storage tank includes a large tank section that includes a lowest bottom surface of the storage tank and that is a large-capacity side, and a small tank section that is a small-capacity side. The storage tank main body includes a water supply port on an upper surface of the storage tank. The water supply unit is configured to supply the flush water to the storage tank through the water supply port. The water supply port of the storage tank and an upstream-end opening of the suction pipe are both provided on a large tank section side.

A flush toilet includes a toilet main body and a tank device that supplies flush water to the toilet main body, where the tank device includes a storage tank provided behind the toilet main body and above a floor surface, and a water supply device that supplies the flush water to the storage tank, a capacity of an upper part located at a position higher than a middle height position that equally divides the storage tank into two in an up-down direction is greater than a capacity of a lower part located at a position lower than the middle height position, and the storage tank includes a plurality of upper surfaces with height differences, and a water passage port is provided in a manner penetrating a highest surface among the upper surfaces to allow the flush water supplied from the water supply device to flow into the storage tank.

A toilet device is provided and includes a toilet seat, a main part, and an electric opening/closing mechanism; the toilet seat includes a toilet seat main body, and a hinge part provided at a rear center of the toilet seat main body; the toilet seat is rotatable by being pivotally supported by the main part at two sides of the hinge part; the electric opening/closing mechanism performs an electric opening/closing of the toilet seat and is provided in the main part; the electric opening/closing mechanism includes a motor and a transmission mechanism; the motor is disposed to have a rotation axis offset from a rotation axis of the hinge part; and the transmission mechanism connects the motor and one end of the hinge part and transfers a drive force of the motor to the hinge part.
