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 design quality and transmission accuracy of a signal at a high level.A remote control apparatus RC has a main button group MB, including a water spray button WB and a water stop button MB1, and a sub-button group SB, including a stronger button SB1, etc. Each button in the sub-button group SB has a circular shape with a diameter smaller than that of each button in the main button group MB from a front view. When a button in the main button group MB is pressed, mechanical energy is transferred to a power generation unit GU by a first slide member 10 and a second slide member 20. On the other hand, when a button in the sub-button group SB is pressed, mechanical energy is transferred only by the second slide member 20 and a loss in the mechanical energy in such situation is smaller than the situation where a button in the main button group MB is pressed.

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.
