Abstract
A sanitary washing device includes a casing, a nozzle, and a nozzle drive unit. The nozzle drive unit advances and retracts the nozzle between a storage position and an advanced position. The nozzle drive unit includes a supporter, a gear, and a cable rack. The supporter includes a rail allowing the nozzle to slide. The gear applies a drive force to advance and retract the nozzle. The cable rack is connected with the nozzle and meshes with the gear. The cable rack includes a nozzle connection part connected with the nozzle. The gear and the cable rack mesh at a meshing part. The meshing part is positioned at a same position in a longitudinal direction as the nozzle connection part or further frontward than the nozzle connection part when the nozzle is at the storage position.
