Abstract: The present invention provides a measuring device which is configured to measure a body weight of a user sitting on a toilet seat, which is installed on a toilet bowl, and on which the toilet seat is installed, the device including a plurality of load measuring units that are configured to measure a load of the user acting on the toilet seat and that are disposed to protrude upward from an upper surface. The toilet seat includes a plurality of leg portions disposed to protrude downward from a lower surface, a height from the upper surface to upper ends of the load measuring units is greater than a height from the lower surface of the toilet seat to lower ends of the leg portions, and the load measuring units are disposed at different positions from the leg portions as seen in plan view.

Abstract: The present invention provides an open/close valve which contributes the stabilization of the operation responsibility. A housing has a water-in port and a water-out port. Furthermore, a piston which is slidably mounted in the housing in an axial direction by means of an external operation of a shaft, and a pressure offset means for offsetting the pressure which the piston receives from water in the water-out port to the other side are provided. The piston is attached to a seat face of the housing by being slided on one side in an axial direction to close the communication between the water-in port and the water-out port, and the piston is detached to the seat face of the housing by being slided on the other side in an axial direction to open the communication between the water-in port and the water-out port. The pressure offset means comprises a pressure offset room which is formed at the other side of the piston, and a passage for communicating one side of the piston with the pressure offset room.
