Detailed Description of the Invention:
As shown in Figure 1, water arrives via three-way valve located in closet system into the mentioned rectal cleaning apparatus (A). The water comes to the three-way valve from the main water access valve. One of the spout of the mentioned three-way valve is connected to the rectal cleaning apparatus (A) and the other one to the bidet (B) (bidet (B) is shown in the figures 5-6) through 15 different feeding drains (23). The feeding pipe (23), is connected to the upper body water access (1) and lower body water access (13) by the help of a T piece (22). The user can switch the rectal cleaning or bidet by the help of three-way valve which provides the continuous flow and functions as the directional valve. When the rectal cleaning apparatus (A) is in active mode, the bidet (b) is 20 in passive mode or vice versa. When the main water access valve is closed the water flow to the three-way valve is prevented. The three-way valve is only used to change the direction of water flow.
As shown in Figure 1, the invented rectal cleaning apparatus (A), has two 25 different water access point as being upper body water access (1) and lower body water access (13) and is composed of a upper body (2) and a lower body (15) fixed to the upper body. The upper body water access (1) which is at upper body (2) ensure the movement of the rectal cleaning apparatus (A) while the lower water access (13) which is at lower body (15) let the rectal cleaning 30 apparatus (A) to do the cleaning function.
As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3, the empty cylindrical lower body (15) of the rectal cleaning apparatus (A), includes the rectal cleaning pipe (16) which operates as a washing element that can move forward within the lower body by u:^cp\n2\nziaei8-oe(retyp&() page$).doc intellectual property office of n.z.

The movable stopper long part (35) is placed at the pipe rear stopper (4) side of 20 the water exit drain (14). ;The operation method of the rectal cleaning apparatus (A) used in the closet system of which the inner structures are shown at the Figures 2, 3 and 4 in a detailed way. are explained here below. ;25 ;In order for the water coming from the upper body water'access (1) to push the rectal cleaning pipe (16) it should overcome the spring (6) force. One end of the spring (6) relies on the spring leaning surface (7) which is integrated with the rectal cleaning pipe (16) and the other end on the lower body protrusion b (9). The water stuck at 30 the rear passage (24) is prevented to pass to the front passage (25) by the seal ring (5). By the help of the sealing features of the movable stopper (3) and seal ring (5) there is no time loss at the period of opening and functioning of the rectal cleaning pipe (16) without the loss of pressure. The rectal cleaning pipe (16) pushed forward by the pressure of the water coming from the upper body water access (1) comes out 35 of the rectal cleaning apparatus (A) hidden within the closet system. The spring intellectual property ofice of n.z. ;1D AUG 2006 RECFI\/Fn ;leaning surface (7) within the rectal cleaning pipe (16) moving forward, leans to the lower body protrusion a (8) and the spring (6) is compressed between the lower body protrusion a (8) and lower body protrusion b (9). The gasket (18) which is on the rectal cleaning pipe (16) moving forward, leans against the lower body stopper (12) 5 and prevents the water coming from the lower body water access (13) to get out from the lower body pipe exit (30). When the rectal cleaning pipe (16) becomes active (fully open), the o-ring placed in the o-ring channel (27) which is on the rectal cleaning pipe (16), prevents the water coming from lower body water access (13) to get into the front passage (25) by locating itself into the lower body o-ring operation 10 surface (26) in a sealed way. In this way, the water coming from the lower body water access (13) reaches to the water exit drain (14) placed in the rectal cleaning pipe (16), through the water access hole (11) meeting the lower body water access (13). The water entering from the upper body water access (1) does not come to the water exit drain (14) due to the movable stopper (3). The water flow between the rear 15 passage (24) and front passage (25) of the rectal cleaning apparatus (A), placed in its lower body (15) is directly prevented by the seal ring (5), ;As shown in Figure 1, in the mentioned rectal cleaning apparatus (A), water comes to a T piece through the feeding pipe (23). The lower body water flow hose (29) 20 linked to the lower body water access (13) and upper body water flow hose (28) linked to the upper body water access (1) are connected to each other by the mentioned T piece (22). The water passing through the upper body water flow hose (28) and upper body water access (1) push the rectal cleaning pipe (16) forward as shown in Figure 3 by filling into the rear passage (24) as shown in Figure 4. Before 25 the rectal cleaning pipe (16) is active (fully open) the water flow in the lower body water flow hose (29) linked to the lower body water access (13) is just in the farm of leakage. When the rectal cleaning pipe (16) is active {fuily open), ihe axis of the Sower body water access and the water access hole (11) which is on the rectal cleaning pipe (16) intersect. The water which does not leak out of the lower body 30 pipe exit (30) by the help of the gasket (18) and to front passage (25) by the help of o-ring (10), enters to the water access hole (11) and water exit drain (14) by lower body water access (13) and comes out through the rectal cleaning exit nozzle (20) via the water exit drain (14). In this way, the norma! water regime in other words the water flow required for the rectal cleaning and washing is provided. ;35 ;intellectual property office of n.z. ;i G AUG 2006 RECFIVFD ;As shown in Figure 2, in the mentioned recta! cleaning apparatus (A); as soon as the water reaches to the upper body water access (1) at the normal flow, it also reaches to the lower body water access (13) as a leakage. The water access hole (11) located on the rectal cleaning pipe (16), which is not active, or fully open position, 5 gets behind the lower body water access (13). At this position, the water leaking into the front passage (25) where the spring (6) is, reaches the water access hole (11), passes through the water exit drain (14) and gets out by leaking through the rectal cleaning exit nozzle (20) and the rectal cleaning pipe (16) by leaning since the gasket (18) does not close the lower body pipe exit (30) by leaning to the Sower body 10 stopper (12) yet. In other words, the normal regime water flow is not provided yet. The leakage on the rectal cleaning pipe (16), makes the rectal cleaning pipe (16) slippery and let it to comes out of the lower body pipe exit (30) easier and quicker. This leakage, also ensures the cleaning of the outer surface of the rectal cleaning pipe (16) before the usage. ;15 ;As shown in Figures 3 and 4, in the mentioned rectal cleaning apparatus (A); the rectal cleaning pipe (16) opening fully due to the water coming from the upper water access (1) sit on the lower body o-ring operation surface (26) of the o-ring (10) and lower body stopper (12) of the gasket (18) in a sealed way and when the water 20 access hole (11) and lower body water access (13) on the rectal cleaning pipe (16) overlap, the water coming from the lower body water access (13) gets out from the rectal cleaning exit nozzle (20) by passing through the water exit drain (14). The rectal cleaning exit nozzle (20) is mono-porose and the water gushes without spreading. ;25 ;As shown in Figure 1, the closure or getting into passive mode of the mentioned rectal cleaning apparatus (A) happens by the interruption of the water pressure coming from the feeding pipe (23) by decreasing the its flow. The water of which the pressure is decreased located in the rear passage (24) comes to the T piece (22) 30 through upper body water access (1) and upper body water flow hose (28) by being pushed backwards by the spring (6) and then arrives to the lower body water flow hose (29) and lower body water access (13). When the pressure spring (6) push the rectal cleaning pipe (16) backwards, the o-ring (10) move away from the tower body o-ring operation surface (26) and the gasket (18) move away from the lower body 35 stopper (12). Meanwhile, water coming to the lower body water access (13), gets into intellectual property office of n.z. ;1 0 AUG 2006 ;r*" p" 11 t
the front passage (25) is discharged from the rectai cleaning exit nozzle (20) by passing through the water access hole (11) and water exit drain (14) and also in the meantime by during the discharge, the leaking water from the lower body pipe exit (30) ensures the cleaning of the outer surface of the rectal cleaning pipe (16) after 5 the usage.
In Figure 5, the perspective view of the invented bidet's (B) section at active mode is indicated.
There are common mechanical features and/or parts, which constitute the rectal cleaning apparatus (A) shown in Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 and the bidet (B) shown in Figure 5: The mentioned mechanical features and/or parts such as; upper body water access (1), upper body (2), movable stopper (3), pipe rear stopper (4), seal ring (5), lower body protrusion a (8), lower body protrusion b (9), o-ring (10), water 15 access hole (11), lower body stopper (12), lower body water access (13), water exit drain (14). lower body (15), lower body connection lug (17), gasket (18), mounting protrusion (21), T-piece (22), feeding pipe (23), rear passage (24), front passage (25), lower body o-ring operation surface (26), o-ring channel (27), upper body water flow hose (28), lower body water flow hose (29), lower body pipe exit (30), upper 20 body connection lug (31), gasket housing (32), seal ring placing surface a (33), seal ring placing surface b (34), movable stopper long part (35), movable stopper short part (36), movable stopper protrusion (37) are both used in the rectal cleaning apparatus (A) and bidet (B) for the same purposes.
The operation methods of the bidet (B) and the rectal cleaning apparatus (A) are identical and all the mechanical parts which constitutes the rectal cleaning apparatus (A) and bidet (B) are same except few difference. As shown in Figure 5, in the invented bidet (B), different from the rectal cleaning apparatus (A), there exists no protrude spring leaning surface (7) like in the rectal cleaning pipe (16) at the middle 30 of the bidet pipe (39). In the bidet (B), the bidet spring (40) leans to the bidet spring leaning surface (38) which looks to the front passage (25) of the seal ring placing surface a (33). In addition to this, the lengths of the rectal cleaning pipe (16) and bidet pipe (39) that gets out are different. Since the bidet spring leaning surface (38) on the bidet pipe (39) gets behind the spring leaning surface (7) in the rectal 35 cleaning pipe (16), the bidet pipe (39) moves forward more than the rectal cleaning intellectual property office ^ of n.z.

pipe does (16). Another difference between the rectal cleaning apparatus (A) and bidet (B) is that the bidet spring (40) of bidet (B) is longer than the spring (6) in the rectal cleaning apparatus (A). Also, the difference of bidet exit nozzle (19) from the rectal cleaning exit nozzle (20) is that the bidet exit nozzle (19) has an angle and the water jets due to the little holes of the nozzle. The rectal cleaning exit nozzle (20) has a mono-porose form and the water gushes out without spreading.
During the usage, when the rectal cleaning pipe (16) and the bidet pipe (39) get fully out, the water entering from the lower body water access (13), passes through the water access hole (11) and comes out of the rectal cleaning exit nozzle (20) in rectal cleaning apparatus (A); it comes out of the bidet exit nozzle (19) in bidet. The rectal cleaning apparatus (A) or bidet (B) realize the normal washing by ensuring the normal regime water flow in other words the flow of water required for the cleaning and washing only at this position. At this position, since there is not a leakage from the lower body pipe exit (30), the outer surface of the rectal cleaning pipe (16) or bidet pipe (39) cannot be cleaned. The operation of the cleaning of the outer surface of the rectal cleaning pipe (16) or bidet pipe (39) is realized while the rectal cleaning pipe (16) or bidet pipe (39) comes out of the lower body (15) or entering in the lower body (15).
in Figure 6, the perspective view of the bidet (B) and the rectal cleaning apparatus (A) are shown as installed to the closet, side by side.
in Figure 7, the grooved lower body (44) of the bidet (B) and rectal cleaning apparatus (A) is shown. The difference of the grooved lower body (44) from the above mentioned lower body (15) is the existence of the mounting groove (41) at the at least one or preferably two side of the lower body pipe exit (30).
In Figure 8, the rectal cleaning pipe with guiding rail (45) is shown. The difference of the recta! cleaning pipe with guiding rail (45) from the above mentioned rectal cleaning pipe (16) is the existence of the guiding rail placed at least one or preferably two sides of the rectal cleaning pipe with guiding rait (45).
Also, in the rectal cleaning pipe with guiding rail (45) shown in Figure 8, there are spring leaning surface (7) and a spring placement protrusion (43) on which one or
1 0 AUG 2006 RFHPlx/cn
more springs (6) lie, located between the o-ring channel (27). The spring placement protrusion (43) is composed in the way to tolerate the diameter difference between the spring (6) and the rectal cleaning pipe with guiding rail (45). in other words, by composing passage space tolerance between the inner diameter of the spring (6) and the outer surface of the spring placement protrusion (43), the spring (6) axis and the rectal cleaning pipe with guiding rail (45) overlap. So that, by eliminating the axial misalignment of the spring (6) according to the rectal cleaning pipe with guiding rail (45), the pressure spring is prevented to move in radial direction and generating noise during the operation in the surfaces where the spring (6) sit, in the lower body protrusion b (9) and spring leaning surface (7) due to the axial misalignment therefore it operates easier. The spring placement protrusion (43), apart from the rectal cleaning pipe with guiding rail (45) can be applied to the rectal cleaning pipe (16) alternatively. The rectal cleaning pipe with guiding rail (45) can be composed without the spring placement protrusion (43) as shown in Figure 8.
In Figure 9, it is seen the position of the grooved lower body (44) and the rectal cleaning pipe with guiding rail (45) following the installation. The guiding rails (42) are placed in the mounting groove (41). The mounting grooves (41) are positioned better with the help of guiding rails (42) during the movement of the rectal cleaning pipe with guiding rail (45). In Figure 7-9, the grooved lower body (44) and the rectal cleaning pipe with guiding rail (45) are the mechanical parts developed as an alternative to the lower body (15) and the rectal cleaning pipe (16) respectively. It is possible to compose an alternative rectal cleaning apparatus by using the grooved lower body (44) and the rectal cleaning pipe with guiding rail (45) without any modification in the rectal cleaning apparatus (A).
Also, like in the rectaJ cleaning pipe with guiding rail (45), it is possible to compose an alternative bidet pipe by using guiding rail (42) at one or preferably two side of the bidet pipe (39). It is possible to develop an alternative bidet (B) by using the grooved lower body (44) and the mentioned alternative bidet pipe where the guiding rails (42) rest in the mounting grooves (41) without any modification in the bidet (B).
The spring placement protrusion (43) can also be used in the bidet (B). The spring placement protrusion (43) is composed on the bidet pipe (39) or bidet pipe with guiding rail between the bidet spring leaning surface (38) and o-ring channel (27).
