ABSTRACT:
A bidet is disclosed which incorporates an anti-scalding mixing valve which automatically limits the temperature of the water emanating from the bidet spray nozzle so as to avoid discomfort for the user. The bidet has a spray arm with a spray nozzle pivotally attached to a mounting bracket structure which may be easily attached to a standard toilet. The bracket may be readily attachable to the toilet by the fasteners utilized to attach a standard seat to the toilet. An anti-scalding mixing valve is attached to the mounting bracket and has an outlet connected to an outlet tube which, in turn, is connected to the spray arm. A housing pivotally attached to the end of the outlet tube is attached to the end of the spray arm such that a linkage mechanism, readily accessible to the user, may pivot the spray arm relative to the outlet tube to move the spray nozzle between a retracted position and a use position. In the use position, the spray nozzle and spray arm extend into the toilet bowl, while in the retracted position, the spray arm is adjacent to the outer rim of the toilet bowl.
