Abstract: Provided is a shower apparatus which can stably supply bubbly water through all nozzle holes and can cause water droplets of large, uniform size to land continuously on the user so as to allow the user to enjoy a shower with a voluminous feel as if the user were being showered by large drops of rain. The shower apparatus includes a water supply unit, a throttle unit adapted to eject passing water downstream, an aeration unit adapted to produce bubbly water by aerating the water ejected through the throttle unit, and a nozzle unit provided with a plurality of nozzle holes used to discharge the bubbly water, wherein the throttle unit has a flat-shaped throttle channel and water ejected through the throttle channel plunges into an air-liquid interface as a sheet-like stream, thereby producing bubbly water, which is then discharged through the nozzle hole.

Abstract: A toilet seat includes: a bottom plate including an engaging part; a top plate including a sidewall part provided on the bottom plate and a seating part supported by the sidewall part; and a bonding member having an exposed surface exposed externally. The engaging part is provided at a position opposing the sidewall part and has a recessed shape recessed downward. The sidewall part includes a sidewall base, a first hanging part extending downward from the sidewall base and engaging the engaging part, and a second hanging part provided to be separated from the first hanging part at the sidewall base to provide a recess recessed upward between the first hanging part and the second hanging part, the second hanging part being disposed at a position not overlapping the bottom plate. A side surface of the engaging part faces away and also extends away from the second hanging part.

Abstract: A toilet system includes: a toilet seat; a sensor configured to measure a physical quantity which reflects blood flow conditions of a user; a health index calculator configured to calculate a plurality of health indices based on measurement results of the sensor; a health index output part configured to output the plurality of health indices which has been calculated; a timer configured to measure a seating time; and a controller configured to control an output manner of the health index output part based on measurement results of the timer. When the seating time is not shorter than a first required time but shorter than a second required time, the first health index is outputted, but the second health index is stopped to be outputted. When the seating time is not shorter than the second required time, both the first health index and the second health index are outputted.

Abstract: A water discharge device generates a large air bubble having a cross sectional area larger than a channel sectional area of a jetting port when the inside of a water storage chamber is viewed from the jetting port. The water discharge device intermittently forms the large air bubble to change a flow speed of a jet flow.
