  • Patent number: 10837162
    Abstract: A toilet device includes a toilet main body, a base plate-which is provided on an upper portion of the toilet main body and on which a functional unit is mounted, and a cover which covers the base plate from an upper side such that the functional unit is accommodated. The cover has a protrusion portion that protrudes further downward than the base plate and that is positioned closer to a toilet bowl of the toilet main body than the base plate. A recess portion, which communicates with the toilet bowl and is open to the upper side, is formed in the toilet main body. The base plate is arranged on the recess portion.

  • Publication number: 20190085544
    Abstract: A facility device includes a sensor which includes a light transmitting unit that transmits an optical signal and a light receiving unit that receives a reflected signal which is the optical signal transmitted from the light transmitting unit, reached a target object, and reflected, the light receiving unit transmitting a detection signal on the basis of the received reflected signal; and a panel which is arranged at a position in a first direction from the sensor. A display portion is provided on the panel, the display portion being configured to guide the target object to be placed at a predetermined position. The light transmitting unit includes a first light transmitting unit that is arranged to be capable of being directed toward a location which is in the first direction from the display portion. The display portion is arranged adjacent to the sensor in a front view of the facility device.
