Abstract
A lavatory seat device includes lavatory seat accommodating a heater and a thermo-sensor for detecting a temperature thereof. First lead wires supply an electric current to the heater. Second lead wires convey a signal from the thermo-sensor. A control circuit controls the heater in response to the thermo-sensor in such a manner that the current supply of the heater is interrupted when the signal from the thermo-sensor becomes a set value or the cutting of the second lead wires is detected. A case has the control circuit therein. A first pivot portion of the lavatory seat has a hole through which the first and second lead wires extend. A second pivot portion of the case is fitting with the first pivot portion to pivot the lavatory seat. A holder holds the first and second lead wires in such a manner that the cutting of the first lead cannot occur prior to the cutting of the second lead wire.
