Abstract
A toilet seat structure capable of automatically feeding a seat covering paper onto the toilet seat has a paper feeding mechanism and a paper cutting mechanism operated by an electronic control unit. A specified length of paper appropriate for covering the toilet seat is automatically and accurately fed and positioned on the toilet seat. After use, the seat covering paper can automatically be cut off. For lavatories at public sites in particular, since the user can operate the apparatus to paper feed from a functional casing to provide a new seat covering paper on the toilet seat for each use, the user can be assured of a clean toilet seat. Also, since the seat covering paper is held immovably on the toilet seat, the use of the paper-covered toilet is made easier.
