ABSTRACT:
A bidet assembly for use with a toilet having a toilet seat is disclosed. The bidet assembly provides a bidet seat to be coupled rotatably to the toilet to be movable between a raised position and a lowered position over the toilet seat on the toilet bowl. The bidet seat defines a central opening. A nozzle for providing a fluid flow therethrough is connected to the bidet peat proximate the central opening. The nozzle is thus movable with the bidet seat when the bidet seat is coupled to the toilet. When coupled to a conventional toilet, the bidet seat is rotated into position atop the toilet seat only when the user wishes to use the bidet assembly. Thus, the bidet nozzle and any attached water supply are protected from contamination by the toilet. When the bidet assembly is not in use, the bidet seat is rotated to a raised position.
