Abstract
A modular system consisting of a hand-held bidet, a cartridge based liquid dispenser and a blow-dryer that are concealed inside a single cabinet. Separate cabinets can also be utilized for each of the subassemblies, thus allowing them to be used together in any combination together or independently of each other. This unique system mounts onto a standard water tank, and is shaped to match the tank so that it blends well with the existing toilet design to make it inconspicuous for discretion and aesthetics. The bidet assembly uses a built-in, on-demand hot water apparatus, a mixing water valve unit and an electronic control device. The liquid dispensing assembly uses a replaceable and refillable cartridge that provides for a means to add medicinal or cleansing solutions to the bidet spray. The blow-dryer assembly allows the use of any standard hand-held blow-dryer and is used for personal drying after bidet use.
