Abstract
A toilet includes a device for supplying cleaning water for a user to wash himself after using the toilet. The toilet main body (15) includes a projection (18) arranged at the rear of the periphery of the bowl (14). A nozzle pipe (24) extends through the projection (18) and provides an inclined, upwardly pointing nozzle. The nozzle pipe is connected to a water supply pipe (22) extending through the side walls (17a, 17b) of the rear of the toilet main body. The supply pipe is connected, in turn, to a connecting pipe (28) in which is arranged a valve (27) and a filter (29). The connecting pipe (28) is connected to a pipe (12) which supplies flushing water to the toilet.
Description
- The present invention relates to toilets of the type having a main body including a bowl portion around the upper periphery of which extends a flange, and which includes cleaning water supply means. The present invention is concerned with a toilet having a cleaning water supply device by means of which it is possible to supply cleaning water for cleaning around the anus of a person using the toilet after a movement or for any other appropriate requirement. The invention also extends to a cleaning water supply device per se.
- It is known to attach a cleaning water supply device for cleaning private parts to an existing toilet. Since such known devices cannot be incorporated in the main body of a conventional toilet, it is normal to adapt a conventional toilet seat to receive a cleaning water supply device. This has the disadvantage that attachment of the cleaning water supply device is difficult and time consuming and the necessary fittings are complex.
- The present invention seeks to overcome these and other problems associated with the conventional device.
- According to the present invention, a toilet of the type described above is characterised by an inwardly directed protrusion on the flange, the cleaning water supply means comprising a nozzle pipe extending through the protrusion and terminating in a nozzle, a water supply pipe extending transversely at least part of the way through the main body, to which the nozzle pipe is connected, and a connecting pipe, one of whose ends is connected to the water supply pipe and the other of whose ends is adapted to be connected to a water supply.
- The nozzle pipe preferably terminates in a detachable nozzle head, and a valve is preferably arranged in the connecting pipe.
- The supply pipe preferably extends all the way through the main body and, more preferably, the main body has spaced, opposed side walls in a rear portion thereof, and the water supply pipe is supported in and extends between the side walls.
- In the exemplary embodiment, the connecting pipe has a filter therein for filtering water flowing through it, and also the pipe extends substantially horizontally from the water supply pipe and the valve has a valve actuating member on the outside of the connecting pipe.
- According to another aspect of the invention, a toilet main body for use with a cleaning water supply device, the toilet main body comprising a bowl portion around the upper periphery of which extends a flange, is characterised by an inwardly directed protrusion on the flange, having an upwardly inclined through hole for receiving a nozzle pipe therein, the toilet main body having spaced opposed side walls in a rear portion thereof, the side walls having aligned holes therein for receiving a water supply pipe therein.
- According to another aspect of the invention, a toilet in combination with a flushing water supply pipe extending to the toilet for supplying flushing water thereto, the toilet having a main body including a bowl portion around the upper periphery of which extends a flange, is characterised by an inclined, upwardly extending protrusion on the flange, directed radially of the upper periphery of the bowl portion, having an upwardly inclined through hole, the main body of the toilet further having spaced opposed side walls in a rear portion thereof and aligned holes in the respective side walls and is characterised by cleaning water supply means comprising a nozzle pipe extending through the hole in the protrusion having a nozzle head detachably mounted thereon, a water supply pipe extending transversely through the main body below the protrusion, the ends of the supply pipe being received in the said aligned holes, the nozzle pipe being connected to the supply pipe, and a connecting pipe having a valve and a filter therein, one end of which is connected to the water supply pipe and the other end of which is connected to the flushing water supply pipe.
- Further features and advantages of the present invention will become clear from the following description of one exemplary embodiment of the invention which is made with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:-
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a toilet and cleaning water supply device according to the present invention;
- Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of the toilet of Figure 1;
- Figure 3 is a side view partly in cross-section, of the toilet of figure 1; and
- Figure 4 is a scrap cross-section through the toilet of Figure 1, on an enlarged scale, showing the water supply device.
- Throughout the drawings, like reference numerals are used for designating like or equivalent parts or portions, for simplicity of illustration and explanation.
- Referring to the Figures, a toilet comprises a
water tank 13 supplied with water from awater supply pipe 12 through avalve 11 from awater supply line 10 from a water main. Thetank 13 is mounted on the rear part of anupper flange structure 16 of a toiletmain body 15, which also comprises abowl portion 14. Flushing water for flushing the bowl is supplied from thetank 13, via supply means (not shown) in arear portion 17 of themain body 15, to the underside of theupper flange 16, where theflange 16 extends around the top of thebowl 14. The water then flows into the bowl from the underside of the flange. A conventional toilet seat and lid or cover are pivotally mounted on the rear portion of the flange. - A cleaning water supply device comprises an outwardly projecting, upwardly
inclined protrusion 18 on the edge of theflange structure 16 at the rear portion of thebowl 14, with an upwardlyinclined hole 19 provided therein. Throughholes 20 and 20' are provided in theside walls inclined hole 19, and a horizontalwater supply pipe 22 is mounted in theholes pipe 22 has a connectinghole 21 at the middle thereof, and one threaded end of anozzle pipe 24 is threaded into thesupply pipe 22 at thehole 21, and the other end is inserted through the upwardlyinclined hole 19 of the upwardlyinclined protrusion 18 and has ajet nozzle head 23 threadedly detachably mounted thereon, the rotational angle of which around thenozzle pipe 24 is adjustable. The fixed horizontalwater supply pipe 22 has one end closed by acap 25 mounted thereon from the outside of thetoilet body 15, and the other end of thehorizontal water pipe 22 is connected at a "T" joint to a connectingpipe 28. The connectingpipe 28 is in turn, connected to thewater supply pipe 12 via a water supplycontrol valve unit 27. Theunit 27 has an actuatingknob 26 on the outside for convenient access. Afiltering tube 29 having almost the same diameter as the inner diameter of the connecting pipe is inserted into the end of the connectingpipe 28 at the T junction, and the end of the connectingpipe 28 is closed by acap 30. - The differences between the toilet main body described above and a conventional toilet main body are that the upwardly
inclined protrusion 18 is formed on theflange portion 16 at the rear side of thebowl 14 of themain body 15, that theflange portion 16 has an upwardlyinclined hole 19 and that the throughholes 20 and 20' are formed in therear portion 17. Thus, the toilet main body is not greatly different from a conventional one. Further, the plumbing work involved in installing the horizontalwater supply pipe 22 in the throughholes 20 and 20' and screwing the nozzle pipe to thesupply pipe 22 and installing it in the upwardlyinclined hole 19, is simple. - In use, a user turns on the cleaning water supply by actuating the water
supply control valve 27 with aknob 26. Cleaning water then is supplied to thenozzle pipe 24 through the horizontalwater supply pipe 22 and thefiltering tube 29 provided within the connectingpipe 28. After foreign material is filtered out by thefiltering tube 29, water is forced out from thejet nozzle head 23 toward a user seated on the toilet. Thefiltering tube 29 is provided within the connectingpipe 28 to eliminate foreign material which may present in the water from the water supply tank of the apartment or the like in which the toilet is situated. The cleaning water coming into contact with the user is thus clean, and blocking of thejet nozzle head 23 by foreign material is prevented. The user may change the type of jet by exchanging thejet nozzle head 23 e.g. from one having one jet hole to one having two or more jet holes. - It will be appreciated that the present invention is not restricted to the particular embodiment described hereinbefore, and that variations and modifications may be made therein without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
