Toilets - Bidet

The invention relates to a toilet bidet as a retrofit kit for all existing toilets with the features of the generic part of claim 1.

Normal, permanently installed bidets are widely known and are already a matter of course in some countries, especially in France. These bidets take up a space in bathrooms, usually next to toilets, and must be permanently installed with a water inlet and drain, which increases the cost of bathroom fittings considerably. In most cases, retrofitting is no longer possible due to the space required, and a subsequent connection, including water inlet and drain, would also incur further, considerable costs. For the reasons mentioned above, retrofitting is no longer possible, despite the financial outlay, although a bidet is already indispensable for patients with hemorrhoids and is therefore already recommended by doctors.

Therefore, several applications have been made for a toilet bidet to be installed later.
For example, DE 196 47 520 A1 describes a toilet bidet that has a swivel nozzle and the water is supplied through the existing water supply pipe and the ceramic bowl. This arrangement is completely impractical in practice because of the leaks and is therefore not practical.
Furthermore, the French publication no. 1000563A6 describes a toilet bidet in which a nozzle has been integrated into the existing toilet bowl. A special toilet bowl is required for this nozzle attachment, so that subsequent installation is not possible. Furthermore, the French publication no. 2604461 describes a toilet bidet that consists of a complete unit of toilet bowl with integrated nozzle and water flush tank with a separate flush unit for the toilet bidet. This toilet bidet is also too complex and expensive.

Furthermore, a toilet bidet is known from Swiss patent specification No. 600070, in which a pivoting nozzle is integrated, which is fed via two channels. However, this design is extremely expensive and by no means practical.

Furthermore, a toilet machine with a swivel nozzle and warm air supply is known from patent application P 2132873416. However, this toilet machine is hardly accepted by the market due to its high costs.

However, these so-called toilet bidets all have the disadvantage that they are extremely complex to construct and are sometimes not suitable for retrofitting, so that there is no satisfactory or practical solution. In addition, the water pressure in some of them is too low due to the free fall if a gentle water jet is to be achieved via an aerator.

The task is therefore to create an affordable bidet for everyone, regardless of bathroom size and connections.

This object is achieved according to the invention with the features of claim 1.

Accordingly, an angled flat nozzle, preferably made of a rectangular tube, with an attached aerator and adjustable ball head, is attached to the rear edge of the toilet under the toilet seat on the toilet rim.

Alternatively, a nozzle, also with aerator, can be installed at this point through a hole in the toilet. This hole must be added later or already provided for during production. 30

The water supply to this nozzle is normally provided by a submersible pump that is integrated into the existing cistern and is operated, for example, by dry batteries that are located in a battery box with an operating button.

When flushing pipes, it is not possible to take water or connect to a water supply, so the water is pumped from a separate, permanently installed plastic water tank. This separate tank, with the control button on top, contains the submersible pump and the corresponding power supply. This arrangement even has the advantage that the water can be enriched with skin lotion and the like.

The general extraction of used water from the existing cistern has the advantage that the water is at a comfortable room temperature for normal flushing needs. By draining the water from the cistern beforehand, cooler fresh water can also be used - especially for patients with hemorrhoids - which is extremely important for healing. Long-term tests have shown that even patients with serious hemorrhoids can be permanently cured without medication.

This inexpensive retrofit bidet for any toilet can be installed in just a few minutes without taking up any additional space and without complicated installation, with simple self-assembly, without drilling or anything like that, as a conventional water and power connection is not required. Another major advantage over a conventional bidet, apart from the space saving, is that it no longer requires moving when using it, thus ensuring maximum effectiveness and comfort.

This inventive retrofit kit for all toilets should make a decisive contribution to the health and well-being of the people, since every toilet can be retrofitted with it in just a few minutes and the financial outlay is affordable for everyone compared to a conventional bidet.

In the following, the operation of the toilet bidet is explained in more detail using the illustrations.

In order to flush the toilet, in contrast to a conventional bidet, the flat nozzle (2), which is attached to the toilet (9) under the toilet seat (8), is operated using the operating button (7), so that the current is fed via the power supply (10) from the dry battery (4), which is integrated in a battery box (5), to the submersible pump (3) and the water is pumped to the flat nozzle (2) via the water pressure line (6).

If the toilet bidet (1) is equipped with a separate water tank (12), the same procedure described is also carried out in the same order for flushing.

Claims (4)

1. Toilet bidet with WC ( 9 ), toilet seat ( 8 ) and cistern ( 11 ), characterized in that in the rear area of the WC between the toilet seat ( 8 ) and the WC ( 9 ) an angled flat nozzle ( 2 ), preferably consisting of a rectangular tube, with an aerator attached to it including a ball head is attached directly to the WC ( 9 ) or a nozzle ( 2a ) with aerator is integrated directly into the WC ( 9 ), the nozzle ( 2 , 2a ) being fed via the existing cistern ( 11 ) by means of a submersible pump ( 3 ) or a separately installed water tank ( 12 ) or by direct connection to an existing water pipe. 2. Toilet bidet according to claim 1, characterized in that two dry batteries ( 4 ) are integrated in a battery box ( 5 ), so that by means of an operating button ( 7 ) the current passes through the power supply ( 10 ) to the submersible pump ( 3 ) and by starting this, the room-temperature water passes through a water pressure line ( 6 ) to the nozzle ( 2 , 2a ). 3. Toilet bidet according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the water also reaches the nozzle (2, 2a) from a separate tank ( 12 ) by means of a submersible pump ( 3 ), power supply ( 4 ), power supply ( 10 ), operating button ( 7 ), via the water pressure line ( 6 ). 4. Toilet bidet according to one of claims 1 to 3, characterized in that the flat nozzle ( 2 ) or nozzle ( 2a ) is connected directly to an existing water pipe via the water pressure line ( 6 ), if necessary via a continuous flow heater.
