<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a heated toilet seat device capable of nearly evenly heating a toilet seat and suppressing temperature irregularities. <P>SOLUTION: The heated toilet seat device includes: an oval toilet seat; an induction heating coil arranged in a manner of circling along the shape of the toilet seat inside thereof and generating a magnetic field by a supplied high frequency current; and a heating element arranged on the seat surface side of the toilet seat in a view from the induction heating coil, formed of an electrically conductive material, and induction-heated by the magnetic field generated by the induction heating coil. The resistance value of the heating element per unit width in a direction orthogonal to a direction in which the induction heating coil extends is different at the front part, rear part, and the center part of the toilet seat, while the heating temperature of the seat surface of the toilet seat is the same at the front part, rear part, and the center part of the toilet seat. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
