  • Patent number: 11466440
    Abstract: According to the embodiment, a toilet device includes a detector and a controller. The detector is detecting whether or not flush water is at a position lower than a full level and higher than a seal level at a surface of a bowl of a flush toilet. The controller is determining a clog state of the flush toilet based on a detection result of the detector after a flush water supplier is closed. The flush water supplier is located in a flow channel discharging flush water into the bowl. The position of the detection region of the detector at the surface of the bowl is separated from flush water flowing in a vertical direction from a water discharge port of the flow channel toward a bottom portion of the bowl after the flush water supplier is closed.

  • Patent number: 9887502
    Abstract: A connector structure includes a jack including a receiver, and a plug connectable to the jack. The jack includes a wall located around the receiver and defining a receiving region configured to receive a locking portion. The plug includes a plug body, a plug holder, and the locking portion. The receiving region includes a first region where at least a part of the locking portion is configured to enter and exit by a movement of the locking portion along the first axis, and a second region where at least a part of the locking portion is configured to enter when the locking portion is rotated about the first axis. The second region is covered by the wall when the receiver is seen from the front.
