Abstract
A portable device for adapting a toilet for use as a bidet comprising a rigid conduit having a generally horizontal portion sized to fit in the gap between the bottom surface of the toilet seat and the top surface of the toilet bowl rim, and a generally U-shaped portion for upwardly discharging a column of water. The end of the horizontal conduit portion remote from the U-shaped portion is connected to a water supply line. The adaptor further comprises a second rigid conduit having a horizontal portion sized to fit between the toilet seal and the toilet bowl rim with a donwwardly opening end, and a diverter valve operable to selectively direct water into either of the two conduits. The two conduits are horizontally spaced apart to provide stabilization. In the preferred embodiment, the first and second onduits are in major part defined by hollow passageways within an integrally formed plastic body member.
