ABSTRACT:
A toilet seat 40 and a toilet lid 50 are pivotably attached to an attachment base 20 of a western-style toilet bowl 10 with a hinge mechanism 30. The hinge mechanism 30 includes first and second rotational resistance mechanisms 60R and 60L which are respectively mounted on opposing sides of the attachment base 20. First right and left hinge parts 42R and 42L are respectively integrally formed at opposite ends of the toilet seat 40. Second right and left hinge parts 52R and 52L are respectively integrally formed at opposite end part of the toilet lid 50, the first and second support pins 36R and 36L and the caps 38R and 38L. The first rotational resistance mechanism 60R applies rotational resistant force in the lowering of the toilet seat 40 via the first support pin 36R. The second rotational resistance mechanism 60L applies rotational resistant force in the lowering of the toilet lid 50 via the second support pin 36L. The first and second rotational resistance mechanisms 60R and 60L are different in their external configurations and they cannot be attached incorrectly by mistake.
