    Abstract: A toilet device includes a toilet, a cover, a casing and a toilet lid. The cover laterally covers a back part of the toilet. The casing is located on the toilet. The toilet lid is rotatably supported with respect to the casing.

  • Publication number: 20230094041
    Abstract: A toilet device includes a casing, a lock part, and a release part. The casing is mounted to an upper surface of a toilet. The lock part restricts movement of the casing with respect to the toilet. The release part releases the restriction by the lock part. The release part includes an operation part and a transmission part. The transmission part transmits the operating force applied to the operation part to the lock part. The operation part is located at a position separated upward or downward from a lower end of the casing.

  • Patent number: 10154227
    Abstract: The display device includes two stands 1 that support a chassis (holder). The stand has a strut, and the strut is fixed to the chassis with a fixing portion that encloses a back side and both horizontal sides of the strut. A first projected portion, which projects toward the strut, is formed on a second plate-like member positioned at one side of the strut, and a second projected portion, which projects at a position nearer to the back compared to the first projected portion, is formed on a third plate-like member positioned at the other side. Between the two fixing portions, positions of the second plate-like member and the third plate-like member are in reverse to each other. Due to difference in the positions of the first projected portion and the second projected portion, the two stands cannot be attached at reverse positions. Once the orientation of one fixing portion is reversed, one fixing portion becomes the other fixing portion, and the two fixing portions are common components.

  • Publication number: 20140232946
    Abstract: Provided are a display apparatus and a television receiving apparatus with which safety may be assured while a casing is segmented. A display apparatus comprises: a display unit having a display screen in the front side thereof; a front cabinet which encompasses the peripheral edge part of the display unit; and a back cabinet which covers the rear side of the display unit. The back cabinet is formed from a back cabinet main body (41) in which an aperture (41a) is disposed, and a cover which is attached to the back cabinet main body (41) to close off the aperture (41a). The cover is configured from a material which differs from the material which configures the back cabinet main body (41).
