Abstract

The present invention provides a cylinder lock that is capable of preventing a driver pin from falling over inside a pin hole even when the driver pin has been shortened. The cylinder lock comprises an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder that rotatably fits into the outer cylinder. The outer cylinder and the inner cylinder each have a hole formed therein which connects to a key hole and into which the driver pin can be inserted. The diameter of the outer cylinder side of the driver pin is greater than the diameter of the inner cylinder side of the driver pin. An orientation-maintaining region having a prescribed length in the axial direction and a fixed diameter is preferably provided at the outer cylinder-side end of the driver pin.

Abstract

Provided herein are bidets that are configured to receive water from a hot water supply and water from a cold water supply, use the water to heat a toilet seat, and dispense the water from a nozzle. Also included herein are heated toilet seats, bidets using water directly from a hot water supply without using a heater, and methods for operating the above systems. The bidets disclosed herein can include water flow paths inside the toilet seat that are used to heat the toilet seat. Water heats the toilet seat via conduction as it flows through the water flow paths of the toilet seat. Upon leaving the water flow paths of toilet seat, the water exits the bidet through a nozzle. In some embodiments, the bidets provided herein may be battery- powered.

Abstract

Provided is a body weight measurement device capable of performing body weight measurement with high accuracy. In this body weight measurement device, a control device performs control for using a value detected by a load sensor prior to a first prescribed time, at which the load sensor starts to detect seating of a user on a toilet seat of a toilet, as a non-seated value indicating the value of a state in which the user is not seated on the toilet seat. The control device performs control for using, as the non-seated value, the average of values detected by the load sensor at a second prescribed time immediately before the first prescribed time.
