Abstract: A laser beam oscillated from a laser source is folded in its path by first and second plane mirrors and enters a beam expander. The surface of each plane mirror is deteriorated with illumination by the laser beam and the reflectance is reduced. To avoid a light quantity of the laser beam entering the beam expander from being reduced below a reference value, when the laser beam is illuminated over a certain time, a position on each of the first and second plane mirrors at which the laser beam is illuminated is changed by a structure for rotating and/or translating a reflecting surface of each plane mirror on a plane, which includes the plane mirror, while an optical axis is kept same.

Abstract: When a cleaning button for cleaning the toilet bowl is operated, by a manner as pressing, a switching valve 41 switches the flushing water supply destination to a position for cleaning the bowl part. The flushing water is then jetted out of a spout nozzle 35 disposed inside a Z water conduit 161 as a jet flow. The jet flow from the spout nozzle 35 causes water inside the Z water conduit 161 and water inside the flushing water reservoir 104 to flow through the Z water conduit 161 and to be spouted toward an inlet 121 of a waste trap 102, like a jet flow spouted by a jet pump. This supplies a heavy flow of flushing water amplified in the volume into the waste trap 102 all at once to flush out the filth in the bowl part 101.
