ABSTRACT:
A toilet/bidet device connected to a seat of a toilet for cleaning a users genitals and posterior side. The toilet/bidet device including a water supply pipe connected to a main water line supplying water to the toilet, a valve positioned on an underside of the seat of the toilet and being connected to an end of the water supply pipe opposite the connection to the main water line and a water conduit wand positioned on the underside of the seat and having a first end connected to extend from the valve and a second end having a recess extending therethrough. The water conduit wand is pivotal within the valve. A handle is positioned on a side of the seat and connected to the water conduit wand for pivoting the water conduit wand between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the water conduit wand is not in alignment with the water pipe and in the second position the water conduit pipe is rotated to extend below a recess in the seat and in alignment with the water pipe thereby receiving water from the water pipe. The water received from the water pipe is caused to flow through the water conduit wand and out of the recess towards the genitals and posterior end of a user seated on a top side of the seat. A spring is connected between the water conduit wand and the underside of the seat for exerting a force on the water conduit wand in a direction opposite to the force applied by the handle for returning the water conduit wand to the first position upon release of a force from the handle. A guide track is also connected to the underside of the seat and includes a recess therein for receiving the water conduit wand therethrough and guiding movement of the water conduit wand between the first and second positions.
