Abstract

A toilet bowl deodorizing, disinfecting and washing apparatus. In one variation, the apparatus includes a flexible enclosure that contains a bellows, a high-pressure reservoir, a liquid reservoir, and a plurality of nozzles. The bellows, liquid reservoir, and nozzles are selectively placed in fluid communication with the high-pressure reservoir. In use, the flexible enclosure is disposed beneath a toilet seat (or is itself a toilet seat). Deodorizing/disinfecting/washing liquid, which is contained in the liquid reservoir, is admitted to the high-pressure reservoir. When a person sits on the flexible enclosure, the bellows compresses air that is admitted to the high-pressure reservoir, thereby pressurizing the deodorizing/disinfecting/washing liquid that is contained therein. As the person gets off the flexible enclosure, the high-pressure reservoir is connected to the nozzles such that pressurized deodorizing/disinfecting/washing liquid is dispensed.
