ABSTRACT:
A body part cleansing device for use with a toilet is provided. The device provides a jet of warm water which has been mixed with air to a desired body part of a user in order to cleanse the body part. The device includes a cleaning nozzle adapted to direct a jet of warm water in combination with air and includes a nozzle member, an injector member and a joint which are separably interconnected and which can be easily assembled and disassembled. By being so connected, the two members and the joint are satisfactorily aligned to provided a desired angle and direction of water jet for effective cleansing purposes. Air is mixed with water within the nozzle member, air being introduced in the nozzle member via an air intake unit which mixes air with heated water prior to the warm water jet exiting from a jet opening in the nozzle member. Optionally, an auxiliary nozzle unit can be provided which includes a nozzle member and a jet opening directed towards the rear of the toilet in order to clean the back portion thereof. Both the cleansing nozzle and the auxiliary nozzle unit are enclosed within a nozzle cover in order to prevent either the cleansing nozzle or the auxiliary nozzle unit from being subjected to an unhygienic environment.
