  • Patent number: 11913208
    Abstract: A flush toilet includes a toilet main body made of ceramics, a control unit, a supply source that enables water supply or power supply to the control unit, and a flexible elongated member connecting the supply source and the control unit. The toilet main body includes a rear storage configured to store at least a part of the control unit. The rear storage includes an upper storage region, a lower region, and a lower communication region. The flexible elongated member extends from an upper connecting end portion toward a lower connecting end portion, to be inserted from the upper storage region into the lower communication region, and then extends from inside of the lower communication region to outside of the toilet main body, without extending through the lower region.

  • Patent number: 11705794
    Abstract: A stator core comprises a stack and a resin portion. The stack comprises an annular yoke portion, a plurality of tooth portions, and a plurality of slots. The resin portion covers an inner wall surface of a slot of the plurality of slots. The resin portion protrudes outward relative to an end surface of the stack in a height direction of the stack. The resin portion is formed on at least a part of an end surface of the tooth portion so as to extend from the inner wall surface of the slot around the end surface of the tooth portion. A resin end portion of the resin portion is disposed on the end surface of the stack and a corner of the resin end portion is formed as an inclined surface including a planar surface or curved surface.

  • Patent number: 11566410
    Abstract: A flush toilet includes a toilet main body made of ceramics including a skirt and a rear storage configured to store at least a part of a control unit. The skirt includes a rear wall and a side wall provided in a back surface and a side surface of the toilet main body, respectively. The rear wall includes an opening provided between a peripheral edge of each opening and the side wall of the skirt. The opening penetrates in a front-rear direction to communicate between an inner region of the rear storage or an outer region below the inner region and an outer region behind the toilet main body. The skirt further includes a cross beam that joinably or coupleably supports the peripheral edge of the opening and the side wall of the skirt to each other so as to reinforce strength of the toilet main body.
