Description

Detailed Description of the Invention                            Sanitary spray device for toilet bowl   The present invention relates to a sanitary spraying device installed and used in an existing toilet bowl or toilet seat. Is. A curved arm with a spray head is swingably attached to the lower shaft of the toilet seat. This axis extends across the toilet seat and is approximately in the position where the arm swings back. The spray head is horizontal and extends approximately along the circumference of the toilet seat, with the spray head at the center line of the toilet seat. Trying to be located near. The swinging motion projects horizontally from the toilet seat, It is performed by operating means attached to the frame.   There are various types of such sanitary spraying devices, and they are conventionally known.   In that case, the entire toilet bowl was designed specifically for additional utility and On a manufacturing scale, manufacturing costs increase irrationally.   And in the other case, at least in the early stages, to help people with disabilities. Not only so that many people can accept the device economically , Mainly the toilet seat has been modified or completed.   In order to be attractive aesthetically and practically, and also for people with physical disabilities and arm disabilities. The device is designed so that it can be easily operated by people with poor grip strength. , Is a natural requirement.   The purpose of the present invention is to make the installation complicated in order to achieve a sufficiently large product. Cheap, cheap, only for non-disabled people It is well accepted by all, very easy to operate, To provide a device of the above kind that does not limit people with impaired hand movements. And there.   According to the invention, the purpose is for the operating means not only to be vertical but also laterally. Designed like a swingable handle, it also regulates the flow of water to the spray head. Operates the valve to adjust during movement in a vertical plane in proportion to the lateral movement of the handle. It is achieved by doing so. The entire length of the handle is a lever arm The water flow can be adjusted simply by touching the top of the handle gently from the side. It This movement can be done with the arm or elbow, if desired.   In this regard, as described in claim 2, the valve is opened against an elastic force. , It is preferable that the valve closes automatically when there is no lateral pressure on the handle. Yes. Also, for practical reasons, you only need to touch the handle once to support the spray head. A return mechanism for returning the stop position is added to the holding arm by elastic means. And are preferred.   Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings showing one embodiment of the device according to the present invention. Explained. FIG. 1 is a partial cross-sectional top view, and FIG. 2 shows an important part of the apparatus II-II in FIG. It is sectional drawing which followed the line.   The drawing shows a toilet seat 1 that is pivotally mounted to an existing toilet bowl 2. Toilet seat is a plus Made of tic with relatively high rim It has a part 3. As shown in FIG. 2, the reinforcing plate 4 is attached to the underside of the toilet seat, The horizontal axis 5 is installed on the reinforcing plate in a horizontal position or at an inclination of 20 to 25 degrees. bay The bending arm 6 is fixed to the inner end of the shaft 5 and supports the spraying head 7 at its free end. . The other end of the shaft 5 extends at a distance outside the toilet seat 1 and is attached to a plate It has passed the ring 8. The handle 9 is attached to the outer shaft 5 of the valve housing 8. To be The handle 9 is positioned essentially in the same plane as the curved arm 6, Do not resist the action of the spring-suspended pin 10 protruding from the valve housing 8 in this plane. It is designed to be able to rotate. Push the handle 9 against the action of the spring 11a Then, this handle 9 opens the valve 11. The valve 11 is connected to a water supply pipe 12, Further, it is connected to the spray head 7 via a pipe 13 passing through the shaft 5 and the arm 6. The water supply pipe 12 is connected to, for example, a temperature adjusting device 14 attached to the rear part of the toilet bowl 2. It is also connected to the water mains.   The arm 6 is provided when the handle 9 is rotated forward and downward to the position shown in FIG. , Along the inner contour of the toilet seat 1 just inside the inner edge 3. In this state The handle 9 is directed straight forward, the spray head 7 is located inside the edge 3, Suitable for Part 3. Before using the sprayer, run water at the correct temperature on the spraying head. You need to train. This is done by pushing the handle 9 laterally and opening the valve 11. Is done. Water is sprayed from the spray head 7 When started, the jet of water hits the inside of the rim 3 and bounces off the bottom of the toilet bowl. Water is warm When the water temperature adjusted by the degree adjusting device 14 is reached, the handle 9 is turned upward. Will be able to Preferably, as shown in FIG. 2 and also in FIG. Spray water until the spray head reaches the correct position in the center of the toilet, as shown by the dotted line. You can't fog.   Since the shaft 5 is inclined, the spray head 7 is flatter than when the shaft 5 is horizontal. Or it becomes a shallow passage. In addition, the handle 9 is Heading outward to the crab, which is practical in spatial considerations. Start to rotate upwards In this case, it is preferable to block the flow of water. Handle 9 up By maintaining the handle 9 in a vertical plane while facing, lateral pressure As a result, the handle 9 moves to the position shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 2 at the final stage. When taken, the pin 10 is pushed down, the valve 11 is opened and the water is slowly released from the spray head. And begins to appear. In this state, the water sprayed from the spraying device 7 goes straight downward. When the handle 9 is pivoted slightly back and forth, the jet of water is exactly below the valve seat 1. In the underlying horizontal plane, move slightly forward and backward and at the same time change direction, the axis 5 Because of the tilt, the jet focus is located just above the plane. Axis 5 is practical For reasons of reason, it is biased by a spring 5a which moves the arm 6 behind it. Forced to move to the stop position shown in FIG. It   With this method, the user's rectum and genital area can be thoroughly cleaned with minimal operation. Get Further, in order to dry the above portion, the toilet seat is connected to the hot air blower 17 by a known method. A dryer 15 is provided via a continuous flexible tube.   The invention is not limited to the examples presented here, but within the scope of the claims. However, any changes are possible. Therefore, when the toilet seat 1 is in the horizontal position, the axis 5 It may be flat. Furthermore, for the simplification that is essential from a manufacturing point of view, the valve means Is used for single handle mixers but does not use the temperature control feature.
