ABSTRACT:
A portable device for adapting a toilet for use as a bidet comprises a rigid conduit including a generally straight, horizontal portion sized to fit in the gap between the toilet seat and the toilet bowl rim, and a contiguous U-shaped portion for discharging a column of water upwards. The end of the horizontal conduit portion remote from the U-shaped portion is connected by a water supply line to a convenient bathroom faucet. The horizontal conduit portion is of sufficient length to permit movement of the conduit along the axis of the horizontal conduit portion in order to permit positioning of the upwardly discharging column of water over the bowl at various distances from the rim. Separate diversion means may be provided for discharging the stream of water downwardly into the toilet bowl while maintaining the U-shaped portion in its upwardly open position. In one embodiment, the diversion means comprises a diverter valve and a separate rigid conduit coupled to the diverter valve and sized to fit between the toilet seat and the toilet bowl rim. In another embodiment, the diversion means comprises a deflection plate and carriage means for providing relative movement of the deflection plate and the rigid conduit so that when the upwardly discharging column of water is closest to the bowl rim, the deflection plate overlies the upwardly discharging column of water and deflects it downwardly into the bowl.
