Patent number: 11111658Abstract: A flush toilet includes: a water supply channel that allows flush water to be supplied from a flush water storage tank to a rim spout port and a jet spout port; and a switching device that switches a water supply path so as to execute a first flushing process of spouting the flush water in the water supply channel from the rim spout port and after that, execute a second flushing process of spouting the flush water in the water supply channel from at least the jet spout port. The switching device includes a switching valve body that operates by receiving the water pressure of the flush water pressurized by a pressure pump. This switching valve body performs switching to a water supply path that allows the first flushing process or the second flushing process to be executed according to the water pressure generated by the pressure pump.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2019Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: TOTO LTD.Inventors: Tsubasa Miyake, Hironori Yamasaki, Mitsuhiro Suenaga, Takashi Yoshioka, Koichiro Hiwa

Patent number: 9074360Abstract: To provide a flow channel opening/closing apparatus that can keep the instantaneous flow rate of supply water, quickly open and close a main valve for starting and stopping water supply and be downsized. A flush valve CV, which is such a flow channel opening/closing apparatus, incorporates constant flow rate keeping part that operates to keep constant the main flow rate of water flowing from a primary-side internal flow channel 20 to a secondary-side internal flow channel 30, and the constant flow rate keeping part has a constant flow rate valve body 44 and a constant flow rate valve seat, operates to adjust the distance between the constant flow rate valve body 44 and the constant flow rate valve seat, and is configured as an integral valve member including a main valve body 42 and the constant flow rate valve body 44.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2011Date of Patent: July 7, 2015Assignee: TOTO LTD.Inventors: Naoyuki Onodera, Tsubasa Miyake, Tetsuya Uchida, Takuya Oshikawa, Takamasa Suzuki
