Definitions

  • the prior art teaches bidets in combination with water closets, usually in small bathrooms or bathrooms which were originally furnished without bidets and where it is desired to install one.
  • Bidets of this type are essentially constituted by a bowl which is associated to the water closet in such a way as to be insertable therein.
  • a tap is connected to the water closet which takes water from the municipal supply or from the flush cabinet of the wc itself. The water poured into the bidet bowl is then discharged into the underlying toilet through discharge holes made in the bottom of the bowl.
  • the bidet is hinged to the wc about a horizontal axis thereof so as to be rotatable between an "inactive" position in which the wc is free for its normal use, and an active position in which the bowl is housed in the wc and can be used as a bidet.
  • the bowl can be hinged laterally with respect to the wc, while in others the bow is hinged to the wc in the same way as a cover, being rotatable between a raised position in which it rests against the cabinet of the wc and a lowered position in which it is inserted in the wc.
  • the main aim of the present invention is to obviate the drawbacks in the prior art by providing a sanitary appliance combined with a water closet in which the bidet is contained within the volume of the wc and the flush cabinet both during use and when not in use.
  • An advantage of the present invention is that the bidet is easy and comfortable to use.
  • a further advantage of the invention is that the bidet when not in use is completely removed from the outside environment and is therefore more hygienic.
  • 1 denotes in its entirety a sanitary appliance in which a bidet is combined with a water closet, according to the present invention.
  • the appliance is of a type in which a bidet bowl 3 is hinged above a first horizontal axis x1 on the horizontal seating plane s of a wc 2, the bowl having a bidet function.
  • the bidet bowl 3 is rotatable between a closed position, in which it is housed in the toilet bowl of the pedestal of the water closet 2, and an open position, which is about perpendicular with respect to the closed position, in which open position it is external with respect to the toilet bowl of the water closet 2.
  • the sanitary appliance comprises a flush cabinet 4, arranged above and posteriorly of the pedestal of the water closet 2, in which a chamber 5 is predisposed to house the bidet bowl 3 internally thereof when the bidet bowl 3 is in the open position. In the open position, the bidet bowl 3 is completely contained in the front chamber 5 and is totally within the plane of the flush cabinet 4.
  • the sanitary appliance also comprises a panel 6 associated to the cabinet 4 which is mobile between a position in which it closes the chamber 5 and another position in which the chamber 5 is open.
  • the appliance further comprises at least one tap 7, arranged internally of the chamber 5 in such a position as not to interfere with the bidet bowl 3 when the bowl 3 is in the open position thereof.
  • the tap 7 is predisposed to send water into the bidet bowl 3 when the bidet bowl 3 is in the closed position and is arranged in a central position in the chamber 5 so that when the bidet bowl 3 is in the open position, i.e. located in the chamber 5, the tap 7 is arranged within the concavity of the bidet bowl 3.
  • the cabinet 4 is parallelepiped and exhibits a front face 4a and a back face 4b which are about parallel and vertical.
  • the chamber 5 is open on the front face 4a and is comprised between the front and back faces 4a and 4b.
  • the panel 6 is slidable on the front face 4a by means of two parallel guides 22 between an upper position, in which the chamber 5 is open, and a lower position in which the panel 6 is in front of and closes the chamber 5.
  • the panel 6 has a screening function, and is raised into the upper position in order for access to be gained to the bidet bowl 3 so that the bidet bowl 3 can be rotated into the closed position, then being re-closed when the bidet bowl 3 has been used and brought back into its stowed position inside the chamber 5.
  • the panel 6 is hinged along an upper edge thereof to the front face 4a and is rotatable by 180° between an upper position, in which it is against the front face 4a and the chamber 5 is open, and a lower position, in which the panel 6 is arranged in front of the chamber 5, closing it.
  • the panel is in the shape of a box cover 6', and is hinged along an upper edge thereof to an upper edge of the front face 4a.
  • the box cover 6' is rotatable by 180° between a lower position, in which it is against with the front face 4a and closes the chamber 5, and an upper position in which it is arranged above the cabinet 4.
  • a toilet lid 8 is associated to the panel 6 and is hinged along a second horizontal axis XII thereof, along a lower edge of the panel 6.
  • the cover 8 is rotatable between a raised position, in which it is against the panel 6, and a lowered position, in which it is horizontal and, when the panel 6 is in the lower position, rests on the toilet seat of the water closet 2.
  • the lid 8 has the normal water closet lid function.
  • the bidet bowl 3 exhibits a flat annular surface 3a which extends externally along the edge thereof 3. The surface is predisposed to rest on the edge of the water closet 2 on a same level as the seat s when the bidet bowl 3 is in the closed position.
  • a drain hole 3b is afforded on the bottom of the bidet bowl 3 for discharge of used liquids from the bidet bowl 3 into the bowl of the wc 2 when the bidet bowl 3 is in the closed position.
  • the cabinet 4 is in fluid communication with the wc 2 and internally contains a liquid. Apart from housing the bidet bowl 3 in the open position thereof, it has the function of a usual flush cabinet for the water closet 2 and comprises means for flushing away the liquid contained in the bowl of the water closet 2 itself. For greater ease of use of the bidet, the cabinet 4 is transversally narrowed at a lower portion thereof located in proximity of the water closet 2.
  • the water closet 2 also comprises a usual toilet seat 11 hinged about a third horizontal axis XIII which is parallel to the hinge axis of the bidet bowl 3.
  • the toilet seat 11 is predisposed to rotate between a lowered position, in which it rests on the edge of the water closet 2, and a raised position in which it rests on the front face 4a of the cabinet 4.
  • the toilet seat 11 is arranged so that when it is in the lowered position either the flat annular surface 3a of the bidet bowl 3 (when the bowl 3 is in the closed position), or the lid 8 when the panel 6 is in the lowered position, rests thereon.
  • the sanitary appliance of the present invention looks practically the same as a normal water closet, and is of around the same dimensions.
  • the bidet when not in use, can be completely hidden in the chamber 5 of the cabinet, and thus does not constitute extra bulk.
  • Accessibility to the bidet is extremely simple and practical, as is its positioning into the operative configuration and its use.
  • the sanitary appliance does not require an extra discharge in addition to the normal one for the wc, as the bidet is in fluid communication with the water closet flush discharge. Should there exist special needs or problems of space, the tap can be directly connected to the flush cabinet, thus eliminating any piping needed for water supply.
