FIG. 1 , in particular, the configuration of thearcuate support arm 36 is such as to define a part of the conventional shapedtoilet seat opening 22. Moreover, thesupport arm 36 is adapted to be retracted into a recess formed intoilet seat member 12 betweenintermediate walls top wall 14 and a dependingwall 25 b ofcover member 25. However,support arm 36 may be rotated between a retracted or stored position shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 and any selected working position between the retracted position and the working position shown inFIG. 2 . This versatility in positioning thenozzle support arm 36 allows for directing thewater stream 40 fromnozzle 38 in a selected direction for the convenience of the user. - An additional advantage and convenience accorded to the user of the combination toilet seat and
bidet apparatus 10 is with respect to the placement of the operating handles 50 and 62. The user of theapparatus 10 may selectively position thesupport arm 36 with one hand by manipulating thehandle 50 while at the same time, using the other hand, for example, adjust the flow of water being ejected by thenozzle 38 by manipulation of thehandle 62 which controlsvalve 54. Accordingly, the combination toilet seat andbidet apparatus 10 is particularly versatile with respect to ease of use and selection of a working position of thesupport arm 36 andnozzle 38 supported thereon. - Referring briefly to
FIG. 4 , theapparatus 10 includes an advantageous mechanism for retaining thenozzle support arm 36 in a retracted position with respect to theseat 12. As shown inFIG. 4 , one of the metalmechanical fasteners 43 for securing thearm cover 37 to thearm 36 is disposed in proximity to amagnet 45 which is secured to the inside surface oftop wall 14 ofseat 12, as illustrated, preferably by embedding the magnet in the molded plastic top wall. When thesupport arm 36 is moved to the retracted position recessed within the envelope of theseat 12, the head offastener 43 engagesmagnet 45 to retain thearm 36 in its retracted non-working position. The magnetic force exerted on thesupport arm 36 by themagnet 45 may be easily overcome when it is desired to rotatehandle 50 to move thesupport arm 36 to a selected working position. - Referring briefly to
FIG. 7 , the combination toilet seat andbidet apparatus 10 also includes a spring return mechanism for biasing thearm 36 in the retracted position. As shown inFIG. 7 , a torsioncoil return spring 80 is provided with opposeddistal leg parts opening 85 inintermediate wall 23 b and atransverse bore 86 intrunnion 44, respectively. This arrangement of a spring return mechanism provides for biasing thearm 36 into its retracted position. Upon release of thehandle 50, when thearm 36 is in a working position, as shown by example inFIG. 2 , the arm moves smoothly to its retracted position. In this regard, thelegs respective openings legs structural members arm 36 from a working position to its retracted position. - Still further, the
apparatus 10 is provided withsuitable openings 36 b inarm 36, seeFIGS. 4 and 5 , and one ormore openings 25 d, seeFIG. 4 , in dependingwall 25 c to allow for drainage of liquids out ofapparatus 10 throughslots 18 a,FIG. 5 , when the apparatus is moved to an upright position, for example. In this way, liquids will not accumulate in the interior ofarm 36 nor within the space formed betweenwalls 14,cover 25 andwalls - The construction and operation of the
apparatus 10 is believed to be understandable to those of skill in the art based on the foregoing description. Conventional engineering materials, such as moldable plastics, may be used to fabricate theseat 12,arm 36,seat cover 25,lid 34 andarm cover 37, for example. Other components described above may be formed of suitable engineering materials and fabricated using substantially conventional manufacturing practices. - Although a preferred embodiment of the invention has been described in detail herein, those skilled in the art will recognize that various substitutions and modifications may be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the appended claims.
