Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a remote control apparatus for a toilet seat apparatus which generates electric power by a user's pressing operation, the remote control apparatus being capable of balancing operability and the ability to reliably stop water spray at a high level.When a cleansing button MB2, being a button other than a stop button MB1, is pressed, a slide member 10 receives force F2′ at a branch 13a. When the branch 13a slides in a direction indicated by an arrow A2, a main part 11 also slides in a direction indicated by an arrow A1. A power generation unit GU generates electric power using mechanical energy input by a pressing force of an output part 14 of the slide member 10. When the stop button MB1 is pressed, the slide member 10 receives force F2 at a stop input part 12 and slides in the direction indicated by an arrow A1. At this time, a loss in the mechanical energy caused until it is transferred to the power generation unit GU by the slide member 10 is smaller than that caused as a result of the pressing operation of the cleansing button MB2.
