TOILET SEAT

摘要

A toilet seat (11) adapted to be fixed to a pedestal to be movable between a seating position overlying the pedestal and a raised position, said seat accommodating a conduit adapted to be connected to a water supply (33), the conduit being connected to an outlet nozzle (14) which is supported from an arm (13) supported from the seat such that the nozzle (14) is to be located within the pan of the pedestal and is directed upwardly, the arm (13) being supported from the toilet seat (11) to be movable to cause the nozzle to be movable along a path within the pan which is substantially coincidental with a fore and aft axis of the pan, the arm (13) also being supported from the toilet seat to cause the nozzle to be movable from a first position adjacent the wall of the pan to a second position where the nozzle lies in the path, drive means (34) to cause said movement of the arm, said seat accommodating an air duct (16, 17) adapted to be connected to a forced air supply (18, 19), said air duct (16, 17) having an outlet (20, 21) at the front and rear of the toilet seat (11), said outlets (20, 21) being positioned to direct air to the posterior and anterior region of the occupant's body encompassed by the toilet seat, a control means controlling the delivery of water, the delivery of air and the operation of the drive means (34), said arm being movable on activation by the drive means (34) from the first position to the second position, said arm being then moved to cause the nozzle to move along the path to one or more locations, at which locations the arm is caused to move the nozzle through a small range of movement along the path at each location, the control means causing the delivery of water to the nozzle (14) and at said positions, the control means further causing the delivery of air to the duct (20, 21) subsequent to the delivery of water to the nozzle (14).
