Abstract

The present invention relates to a toilet provided with a urine splash prevention apparatus, for preventing urine or water from splashing out of a toilet when a user urinates in front of the toilet while standing. The toilet, which has a toilet main body ( 20 ) for having a predetermined level of water filled therein and temporarily storing excreta and a seat ( 32 ) hinge-coupled to an upper side of the toilet main body ( 20 ) and capable of rotating, comprises: a guide frame ( 110 ) both ends of which are elastically supported upward and hinge-coupled to an upper part of the toilet main body ( 20 ), and which is positioned in a rotatable radius of the seat ( 32 ), interlocked with the rotating operation of the seat ( 32 ), and vertically rotatable; and a shield ( 120 ) fixed to the guide frame ( 110 ), for covering the area between the guide frame ( 110 ) and the toilet main body ( 20 ). Accordingly, the present invention can prevent urine from splashing out of the toilet when a user urinates and thus can maintain the surrounding environment clean.
