Abstract
ABSTRACT
The attachment comprises a support (3) which can be fastened to the rear upper portion of a lavatory pan (1), a ring seat (8) pivotably connected to the support (3) and a bowl (4) connected to the support for pivotable movement independently of the ring seat.
The bowl has an outwardly projecting rim (5) for supporting the bowl on the ring seat when the latter rests on the rim (20) of the pan and a tab (7) for manually pivoting the bowl about its pivot axis. The bowl has a discharge opening (6) closable, for example, by a plug (15). A water supply unit (19) is mounted on the support (3).

Description
12~302 "An attachment for a lavatory pan'l This invention relates to an attachment for a lavatory pan.
Broadly speaking the present invention provides a bidet attachment for a lavatory pan having a rim and mounting holes formed in a rear upper portion thereof, the attachment comprising a support having bolts engageable with the mounting holes, a ring seat pivotably connected to the support, a bidet-bowl having a closable discharge opening and being pivotably connectsd to the support such that the bidet-bowl and the ring seat may be pivoted independently relative to the support, mean projecting outwardly prom the bidet-bowl eor ~uppor~lng the bidet-bowl in an operatlve po~itlon on the rlng teat when feting on the rlm ox tllo pan, and a water supply unit mounted on the support and attachable to a mains supply, the supply unit incorporating hot and cold water taps and a discharge outlet for feeding water into the bidet-bowl in the operative position, whereby the bidet-bowl may be pivotably displaced out of the operative position to allow use of the lavatory pan without remoYal of the bidet attachment.
Such an attachment can be fitted to a lavatory pan instead of the standard cover and enables the lavatory pan to be used as a bidet as well as in conventional manner.
The attachment according to the invention has particular application in lavatories provided in mobile homes, and in small rooms where there is insufficient room for the :
