Abstract: A plurality of color sensing sections are attached to a toilet seat so as to test a health state or a fecal occult blood portion every time by capturing the feces surface color during defecation. Before feces which have been excreted from a body sink into a water-seal portion, the circumference of the feces is optically captured to detect the color of the surface of the feces. By monitoring changes in color, the health state of the defecator is monitored. In particular, by checking the presence/absence of an occult blood portion, the present invention assists in early detection of colorectal cancer and allows a fecal occult blood test to be performed in a hygienic manner without burdening the user.

Abstract: A flush toilet having a bowl portion including a waste receiving surface, a rim portion, a shelf portion, and a concave portion; a discharge passage for discharging waste; a first spout port for spouting flush water on a shelf portion of the bowl portion to form a circulating flow; a second spout port for spouting flush water in the same direction as the circulating direction of flush water spouted from a first spout port and toward the rear of the bowl portion; a first water conduit for supplying flush water to the first spout port; and a second water conduit for supplying flush water to the second spout port. The first and second water conduits are formed so that the flow rate of flush water spouted from the second spout port is greater than the flow rate of flush water spouted from the first spout port.

Abstract: The present invention is a discharge socket connecting a toilet main body and a discharge pipe. The discharge socket has a vertical conduit portion; and a bent conduit portion including an inflow port connected to the vertical conduit portion; an outflow port, connected to an inlet port of the discharge pipe; and a flow path, the flow path having a bent portion. A projecting portion is disposed on the bent portion, the projecting portion forming a projecting space which projects outward from the flow path. The projecting portion is formed so that the flow direction of discharge water flowing from the bent conduit portion into the inlet portion of the discharge pipe is changed to the center direction of the discharge pipe by the discharge water returning to the projecting space after flowing from the flow path into the projecting space.
