Water and space conservation toilet/bidet combination
Abstract
A dual purpose toilet bowl which consists water conservation
system which also consists a built in bidet, and this water
conservation system is functioning by two stages of the toilet
flushing, the first state it is by pressurized water and by gravity
simultaneously whereby the gravity tradition flushing method is
incorporating a water pressure method being controlled by a
proportion valve. The second stage, most of the water will come
from the gravity dumping valve. The proportion valve will control
the amount of water that will be injected to the toilet bowl
relative to the amount of water that will be dumped from the tank
by the gravity. The pressurized water is aiming to the bottom of
said toilet bowl where the waste is being accumulated whereby the
flushing cycle based on water injection into the bottom of said
bowl for few seconds in order to create the first push of the waste
and simultaneously water dumping until the water will be diverted
from the bottom of the toilet to the toilet tank, and said toilet
bowl will also consist a bidet apparatus in order to save water on
toilet flushing. This bidet apparatus consists safety valves and
drainage to ensure that the waste will not go backwards to the
fresh water. This bidet nozzle can wash itself and also this nozzle
can rinse with soap and also this nozzle can dry the user by warm
air.

Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] This invention is related to devices being adapted to
existing toilets in order to use said toilet bowl for dual
purposes. First to use it as toilet, and than, use same as a bidet.
This invention is also related to toilet bowls which has an ability
to save water by combination of using water to flush the toilet by
gravity and by water pressure and to save space by accomplishing
the functions of the toilet and bidet as well.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] All the toilet bowl manufacturers are doing the outmost they
can to come out with very saving toilet bowls. Lately the federal
government mendatoried 1.6 gallon of water to be used for flushing
the toilet but it happened very often that this new toilet required
to be flushed more then once since that the amount of water is not
sufficient maybe the need is 2 gallon that should make it because
1.6 gallon is a little bit too short. So in reality the idea of
saving water is defeated since instead of 2 gallons which we may
need we will use now 3.2 gallons for two flushings. Every toilet
consists a siphon at the bottom which is always the tradition
method of toilet flushing which is based on the idea of siphoning
the waste out. But in order for the siphon to work the level of the
water in the toilet should be raised and it will result in dumping
the water and the waste from the toilet to the sewer by the
connected vessels equations. But there is a need for sudden water
level rising with large given quantity of water in order start the
siphoning process and to push the waste to the sewer since the
human being waste is light and it floats on the water.
[0003] Therefore, there is a need for a strong wave from the top
along with a sacking force from the bottom in order to eliminate
waste out, therefore there are two basic methods to flush the
toilet. The very known sudden water dumping in a big mass from the
water tank by the gravity valve which is situated in said tank, or
by second known method which is a hole in lower part of the toilet
bowl which is connected to the main valve of the toilet which will
supply direct pressurized water from the city supply line to said
hole which will create a strong wave at the bottom of the toilet in
the direction of the siphon. This wave will push the dirt by force
and not only by the siphon rising the toilet which will rise the
water level at the toilet. This method is wonderful solution it can
save a lot of water versus the first mentioned float method, the
problem is that such toilet cannot be used at places like high rise
buildings since the water pressure is not always accessible.
Therefore such toilet being used at low level buildings, and the
traditional old method with the float being used in the high-rise
buildings.
[0004] My new idea is to combine the bidet and the toilet together
which in a way will save a lot of water, since every time the bidet
is being used, water will be dumped into the toilet and that water
will rise the water level in the toilet bowl, and such water level
rising will be used later for flushing the toilet at the flushing
point. Therefore this additional amount of water will help to push
the dirt at one shot of flushing instead of two flushings and less
water will be needed in the toilet tank since we have it already in
the toilet bowl after using the bidet. So my idea is to use three
methods, first the bidet, second water pressure, and third water
from the tank.
[0005] So my idea is to use water pressure as well at the bottom of
the toilet on the top of using water from the tank which will save
a lot of water.
[0006] It was found from experience that even a little pressure
which we have in high-rise building will do the work since the
combination of using the water from the bidet and the water
pressure at the bottom in addition to some water coming from the
tank will do the work, since every time somebody that is using the
toilet for elimination he must also use the bidet so this
additional water will help of course.
[0007] It should be noted that it is not a must to use said bidet
since the combination of blowing water from the bottom and
simultaneously dumping water from the tank will do the work as well
as it will be explained later.
[0008] Looking at the material from all existing inventions that
are related to bidet adapters that are installed on toilet bowls,
none of them comply with the federal rule which related to bidet
whereby it must to have a water circuit breaker between the water
supply line and to the nozzle that sprays the same water to the
user bottom body parts. This rule intends to disconnect the germs
or waste from human being to the fresh water system going
backwards, so that the water will be able to run only one
direction, out.
[0009] None of all existing inventions/patents are satisfying this
rule. None of them has a check valve or some kind of internal water
drainage or vent to drain the contaminated water if it will
penetrate the nozzle. My new invention is designed to address and
satisfy this exact rule as well as other innovations.
[0010] It is very known that existing bidet is not secure from
burning the user, with hot burning water.
[0011] Although there are some patents which offer "anti scalding
valve" which are described in patent document 5572748 which was
made by Mr. Nee. This method that Nee offers cannot be accomplished
and it is a wishful thinking. Nee suggested in his description of
the summary of the invention he stated in his papers that his valve
incorporates some kind of cold water bypass conduits which being
connected to hot water line. He just forgot that in order to move
or circulate water from one line to another in the same closed
water loop system he must incorporate some kind of a pump otherwise
the water will not be able to be mixed. We do not see any pump what
so ever to do exactly that so therefore, his invention cannot work.
Beside the point that to maintain a pump in such hot water
environment is very costly from wear and tear point of view.
[0012] Another inventor which being described in patent 6477720 by
Tomita et el. This inventor describes in his summary of the
invention the following: "Any driving power source can be used for
moving the nozzle pipe out. For instance a type using the pressure
of the washing water . . . " My reaction is as follows: if the
water pressure is applied to push the nozzle out by using the
change over valve which Tomita suggested in his description in his
abstract he must incorporated some kind of a vent to release that
pressure which is being locked between the piston and cylinder
which move the nozzle back and forth, otherwise the nozzle will not
go back to its starting position and it will stay outside,
therefore, his invention as is cannot work unless some kind of a
selector type of valve must be incorporated in the system to drain
the pressure from the nozzle once the pressure being stopped by the
user. This selector valve is very costly versus the ordinary valve.
It should be stated that these two inventors do not incorporated
any water circuit breaker in their systems as is being required by
law.
[0013] The main aim of this invention is to built the toilet bowl
which will be very much into the water conservation and it will be
the combination of the toilet bowl and bidet apparatus built in
therefore it will save space and more comfort ability to use
same.
[0014] Since a bidet apparatus by itself takes space and this space
being occupied by such apparatus is a luxury these days since every
square foot in the house is very costly, so the aim of this
invention to eliminate the need of a separate bidet unit. So far
there are some kinds of bidet adapters that can be mounted as after
market devices, which are mounted on the toilet bowl underneath of
the toilet seat. All of those suffer from few setbacks and none of
them is either safe from burning water and none of them is
complying with the law whereby a "water circuit breaker" is
built-in in order to eliminate dirty water being in contact with
fresh water which is connected to said bidet adapter. Beside none
of them has cold water drainage from said bidet nozzle apparatus in
order to not let the cold water touch the user therefore the user
is exposing his very gentle body parts to very freezing water.
[0015] So the aim of this invention is to build an adapter which is
mounted on an existing toilet which is in use already, or built
into the design of a toilet bowl, but at the very same time to let
the user to use warm water but not to be exposed to very hot water
which can burn and wound the user in the very gentile parts of his
body.
[0016] So it is also, the aim of this invention is to drain the
cold water from the line until warm water will arrive to the
injection nozzle of this bidet part so that the user will not
suffer from cold or freezing water that will be sprayed on his
body.
[0017] One of the problems that the existing bidet apparatus are
facing that the nozzle which is being exposed to the dirt and waste
of the human being must be cleaned since that nozzle is located in
the toilet bowl itself and there is always a need to clean those
bidet apparatus. So the known ways to do it is by the brush that
the person has to use it in order to clean it or there are some
inventions that suggested a separate mechanism which will have a
different support and which will hold a separate moveable nozzle to
do same. My invention actually is using no moveable parts but from
the same support water will be sprayed from a different nozzle to
clean same.
[0018] So it is further the aim of this invention to have an
automatic nozzle and support cleaning as a self-cleaning apparatus
so, both parts would be washed, the nozzle and the support from
outside, every time that this bidet apparatus will be activated in
order to make sure that human being waste will not get stuck on
those bidet apparatus parts.
[0019] Another aim of this invention is to solve a problem that the
bidet adapters manufacturers are facing, since the shape of the
toilet bowl was changed.
[0020] For many years the toilet bowls were used and consist of two
major parts. A toilet bowl, and toilet tank, the new toilets are
made from one piece and with the roundish shape. The surface where
the seat is bolted to the toilet is not 100% flat but it is some
kind of a moon shape, the same thing is the connection between said
surface and the tank which makes the seat to be bolted to a place
where the tank actually is raised and pulled both sides toward the
front of the toilet bowl, and each bowl is in the different shape
and surface. That means that the old toilet adapters which were
long and straight are facing a problem since there are straight
pieces and they cannot sit on that new bend surface of the new
toilets. Therefore it must be made in a different method whereby it
needs huge mold to make such an adapter since it consists the
faucet/valve on the same adapter and the nozzle supposed to be at
the very same adapter.
[0021] In order to overcome this problem my invention finds a
solution to exactly same problem and my apparatus will be made of
two separate parts, one part that will be installed on the toilet
itself underneath the seat and the other part will be installed
adjacent to the toilet and there will be connection with water line
between those two parts so it can be made relative from two small
plastic parts instead of one large piece which is very costly to
manufacture and very costly to pack it and to deliver it in a big
box is costly as well. My new design of two pieces will overcome
the obstacle of production and installation which will allow to use
two small single molds that fit all shapes of toilet bowls.
[0022] So it is very important aim of this invention to make one
unit fits all, versus the existing unit on the market.
[0023] One of the problems that a conventional bidet experiences is
that into such a bidet is connected hot and cold water lines. Those
lines are connected to 2 separate valves--one for hot water and one
for cold water. The user of said bidet is using this bidet by
sitting on it and once he sits on it, he opens those valves, which
start to spray water on his genitals and the surrounding areas. So
it is not so comfortable to adjust hot burning or very freezing
water while they hit your body while the user both hands are
occupied to adjust water temperature. Of course even considering
not burning the body with very hot water. So it is not a simple
task to accomplish although a mixer is a known method in bidet
adapters but it has setback which will be explained later. My
invention comes to solve among other things this problem, by
freeing one hand to cover the body while adjusting the water
temperature by the second one. It will let the user to control this
problem easier in a case of burning water they will never get to
the user's body if hot water gets to the mixer outlet it will be
cut at once. Another problem that my invention takes care of is;
once a person uses this bidet after adjusting the temperature of
the water that the user needs, there is a problem that this user
faces which is in case another resident in the house opens a water
faucet in the house, like watering the garden for example. The
other user watering the garden creates a significant water pressure
drop in the cold lines. This leaves the user using the bidet,
exposed to the very hot water in the line, which can burn him.
[0024] It is another aim of this invention to solve the problem
that can occur in the existing bidet apparatus whereby the nozzle
that sprays the water in order to rinse the user is not accessible
for cleaning since that nozzle has a small tiny hole which can be
clogged internally. My inventions solves this problem. The other
problem that exists in the art that the user needs to spray the
water and rinse different parts of its body without to use dual
nozzle mechanism. My invention solves such problem as well.
[0025] So it is another aim of this invention to have flexible
nozzle holder in order to be able to rinse both parts of user lower
body with one nozzle.
[0026] And also it is another aim of this invention to have hot air
to dry the wet place of the user body after rinsing it, using the
same nozzle being used first to spray water and then to blow hot
air.
[0027] It is further the aim of this invention to eliminate
contaminated water from the toilet from entering back into the
supply line, once the user would stop flushing his anus.
[0028] It is even further the aim of this invention to cover and
not to expose the nozzle that sprays water to the anus, once the
user is using the toilet for regular use.
[0029] It is even more further desired from this invention to let
the user to mount longer adapter to the nozzle in order to let the
user to penetrate this extra adapter to its body, specifically for
woman which want to avoid pregnancy by flushing her internal
vagina. It is even more further desired and also to ensure the user
that he will not burn while using this bidet if somebody else will
use another faucet simultaneously and will drain cold water from
the system and thus will expose the user to hot burning water.
[0030] The existing art teaches us about bidet apparatuses that are
connected to an existing toilet bowl, or as built in bidet. But
some of them is connected to the hot water line, which said hot
water is temperature controlled by an overheating thermostat
sensor, which will not close the water flow at once, since ordinary
thermostats are slow in reaction because of the way they are built,
and a very sudden hot water may reach the user's body before it
will be cut by such thermostat once it is too hot. All the existing
bidet consists of 2 separate valves, one for cold and one for hot
water. My invention will let the user use only one hand to control
the water temperature and cut hot water supply at once if it is too
hot.
[0031] It is even further the aim of this invention to open the
water supply to the bidet nozzle adapter automatically once the
user flushes the toilet only, and to keep it running as long as the
user sits on the toilet seat whereby the nozzle sprays warm water
automatically without the user using a faucet or devices of that
nature and the water supply will stop once the user leaves the
toilet seat.
[0032] And it is even further the aim of this invention to have the
user to aim the water spraying direction on his body parts to his
own convenience.

DETAIL DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0049] FIG. 1 will illustrate a toilet bowl 1 that consists also of
nozzle 2 to be used for flushing the anus.
[0050] FIG. 2 will illustrate a toilet bowl 1 with an adapter 2 to
be installed as an after market device.
[0051] FIG. 3 will illustrate a device to be installed in toilet
bowls as shown in FIG. 1. The nozzle body 2 that consists of a
cylinder 3. This cylinder is made up of 2 diameters; the upper
part--4, consists of a slidely fit of a piston 5. In said piston
there is a circle groove 6 that consists of a safety ring 7. This
safety ring is holding a contracted spring 8 that keeps said piston
with force to be seated into said cylinder downwards. Said piston
consists of a vertical boar 9 which ends up with a horizontal boar
10. The horizontal boar 4 is in an open position relative to the
atmospheric air, once said piston is all the way into the cylinder
downwards. Boar 9 is in opened position once it is in lined with
the vent boar 14. Only if piston 5 will move upwards, the
horizontal boar 10 will close relative to the vent 14 and open
passage to the atmospheric air on the left side. In fact, piston 5
functions as a selector valve that closes and opens both passages
by water pressure. Which the user, is controlling, once he uses the
bidet. The bottom side of said cylinder is a boar 12 which ends up
with a nipple 1 which is to be connected to water that is connected
to a bidet valve (not shown). At the inner end of said bottom boar
is placed a one way valve 13. This one way valve is forced to close
boar 12 by the force of said spring 8, since piston 5 leans on it.
Once water pressure is applied to boar 12, this pressure will push
the valve 13 and piston 5 slightly, and the water will be able to
be entered to passage 10 and the water will drain from vent 14. If
the user will open the faucet slightly, all the same water which
will arrive to said piston, will drain to the toilet bowl via vent
14 thus will enhance a method to drain the cold water from the
line. Once the user will open the faucet full stream, this stream
will amount to a volume of water, which will not be able to drain
from said vent 14; therefore it will start to build pressure on the
lower surface of piston 5. This will move upwards against the force
of spring 8. Once this piston moves upwards, the vent 14 will be
closed by said piston and the second port 16 which is opposite vent
14 will be exposed to the atmospheric air aiming at the lower part
of the user. This user is sitting on the toilet. The horizontal
boar 14 in the piston has another purpose. The second purpose of
this vent boar 14 and the one way valve 13 is important for a
second reason, which is: since there is a need to block dirty water
from entering back to the water system, so there is another purpose
for this vent/boar 14. It will drain all the water, which is in
said cylinder to the toilet and not back to the water system. In
any case, the diameter of boar 14 is a lot smaller than boar 9, so
that the amount of water that is drained out via boar 14 to the
toilet is negligible while the user is flushing. Once the flushing
stops by the user, which closes the valve that supplies water to,
said nozzle, the piston 5 returns back by the force of the spring.
The piston is hidden and not exposes to human debris. Thus serves
the purpose of not exposing the nozzle to contaminations by human
debris.
[0052] FIG. 4 will illustrate a bidet adapter to an existing toilet
that consists of a body 2 that consists of dual diameter cylinder
3. In this cylinder is placed a piston 4. This piston is forced to
its upward position by spring 5. Piston 4 holds one way valve 6 in
a closed position. In piston 4 there is a boar 7 that feeds boars 8
and 9. Boar 8 is in a closed position once piston 4 is in a rest
position. But in open position with vent boar 10. Only if water
pressure were applied to inlet 13, would the pressure move valve 6
and also move piston 4 downwards. Then pistons 4's boar 8 will now
be exposed to outlet 11 via boar 12 because they are now in lined.
This will spray water onto the user. Note This nozzle 11 can be
used to adapted another kind of a hose adapter that women can use
to insert into her body in order to flush out a man's seamen.
[0053] FIG. 5 will illustrate a mixer valve 1 that consists of a
ball valve 2. This ball valve being kept open by spring 3 up top
which applies force downwards. Underneath valve 2 is located a
thermal snap disk 4 which is perforated. This disk is being held in
place by a ring 6. Valve 2 controls the water passage 10 that comes
from the mixer valve 1 to water outlet 5. This valve 2 position is
being controlled by thermal snap disk 4 that is perforated. The aim
of this valve is to eliminate the possibility that very hot water
will reach the body of the user. Once too hot water will hit the
thermal disk 4 by going thru it, it will deform from being concave
to being convex (like shown in FIG. 5), and it will push the ball
valve against spring 3 to restrict passage 5. Now, after ball valve
2 sits adjacent to its seat which blocks the water flow to the
outlet 5, only a very slight amount of water can go thru that
almost closed valve. It was designed that way so the ball will not
close the passage hermetically. It will let a small amount of water
to go thru. This will be a sign to the user to change the mixer to
the cold-water position. Once the user stops getting water he will
notice that the water temperature is too high. The user would
change the position of the faucet 7 so that the water would come
out cooler. This coldish water will cool the thermal disk 4 which
will become concave as it was originally. In return, the ball valve
will open by spring 3 and let water run again. This method actually
will secure the user from being burned while using the bidet. It
should be noted that the bypass 11 could replace the small gap that
is left between the ball and the seat. Also screw 12 and nut 13 for
adjusting the spring 3 force can be placed in bore 5, which will
determine at which water temperature the water flow will be cut
off. Also the spring 3 can be eliminated since the water stream
from bypass 11 can push the valve from its seat to open
position.
[0054] The center hole in the snap disk has a very important role,
since it is exposed to water stream and pressure, if the stream is
too strong it will push the ball to the seat to close the flow at
once in order not to expose the gentle body parts to a jet
stream.
[0055] This illustration of the snap disk is only one way of
blocking hot water passage in case of water overheating which gets
to the outlet. There are few companies that manufacture thermal
safety valves. One of those manufacturers manufactures a valve that
blocks burning water from running in the shower or in the sink.
This manufacturer uses a special metal spring that expands once it
gets very hot water. This spring closes water passage with a valve.
Another method being used to control hot water flow passage being
used in vehicles' engines, this is called a thermostat, which opens
or closes the water flow between the engine and the radiator. This
method of the thermostat can be used here also. Part of the idea of
my invention is to put some kind of a safety valve with a known
technique. Another method for this purpose is to install an
automatic temperature control water valve. This valve exists in
showers whereby the user sets the water temperature up front.
[0056] FIG. 6 is same as FIG. 3 with a difference of outlet 19 in
the valve body, which keeps the spray direction through the valve
body aimed at the user verses FIG. 3 that the outlet is direct from
the piston.
[0057] FIG. 7-8 will illustrate an automatic temperature control
valve that aims to eliminate burning the user of a bidet when
somebody else using a shower or other water usage in the house.
This device is made of housing 1 that consists of a cylinder 2.
Into said cylinder wall is mounted some kind of a triangular metal
piece 10 by bolt 3. Into said cylinder is slightly fit a piston 5.
In long said piston perimeter there is a triangle wedge shape cut
11 to the center of it. In said piston there are boars 6 and 7
located between the perimeters to the inner wedge. Those boars, 6,
7 start at ports 6, 7 and end at boars 8, 9. Boars 8, 9 are ended
at the inner surface of the piston 5 triangle. There is a boar 12
from the left and boar 13 to the right. Both boars; 12, 13 are
connected respectively to outlet 12, 13. Both outlets 12, 13 are
connected to the cold and hot lines that goes to the mixer. The hot
water line is connected to the hot inlet in housing 1 and the cold
water line in the house is connected to the cold inlet of said
housing 1. Both boars 6, 7 are in lined with the cold/hot lines,
only if the piston 5 is situated centered to the triangle 10 by
springs 15, 16. Once the piston rotated to the left, counter
clockwise, the hot line will be closed and only the cold line would
stay open via the oval boar 7A, and vice versa. If partial rotation
will take place, it will keep the boar partially open. Now
explanation! If the user keeps using mixed water, the piston will
stay centered since the pressure between the triangle walls will be
equal. The moment somebody in house will drain cold water in a
stream, the pressure in the cold line will drop. This results in
reducing the pressure on the right wall of cold chamber B of the
piston. The pressure in hot chamber A will stay high which will
rotate the piston to the left side. The boar 6 on the left will
close totally or partially only, so less hot water will arrive to
the hot outlet. This hot water stream reduction relative to the
cold water will cool the water automatically. Since always the
water pressure will be kept equal. Once the other user will shut
off the cold water, the pressure in the cold chamber B will
increase. It will rotate the piston 5 clockwise to its normal
position whereby the water flow of hot and cold water will stay the
same.
[0058] Note: Those 2 little springs that keeps the piston centered
is not a must, since the piston can center itself by the
pressure.
[0059] FIG. 9 will illustrate the same device that was described in
FIG. 4 but with an addition of the pin 1 which is situated on Valve
6. Pin 1 bottom surface is covering the upper surface of Valve 6.
This complete device supposed to be mounted on the toilet bowl as
described and shown in FIG. 2. On the top of the toilet bowl
supposed to be mounted the complete seat assembly, which every
toilet bowl has. The seat assembly consists the part that usually
the user seats on it while he is using the toilet bowl. This seat
will cover most of the bidet device, which described in FIG. 9 and
will apply its weight force on pin 1.
[0060] Note: This weight alone will not be sufficient to overcome
the spring 5 resistance and will not be able to press the pin down.
Since the spring 5 keeps Valve 6 in-closed position if there is no
water flow through. Even in the event that water pressure will be
applied to inlet 13, this pressure will act on the upper surface
cone part of Valve 6. The calculation in the valve surface design
which is exposed to hydraulic pressure is such that the dimensions
of the surface of Valve 6 is such that the water pressure that will
be applied on this surface will not be able to overcome the force
of the spring 5 which acting in the direction against the water
pressure which comes from the top. So that Valve 6 will stay close
even the water pressure is acting on that. So there is a need to
help to open said Valve 6 against the force of the spring 5. The
help will come only if some kind of force will be applied on pin 1
going downwards. pin 1 is exposed upwards to touch the toilet seat
and it keeps said toilet seat little bit away from the toilet bowl.
Since this toilet seat is distanced from the toilet bowl and it can
be pressed down and that gap can be closed only if somebody will
sit on that toilet seat. The weight of said toilet seat is not
sufficient to overcome the force of spring 5. Only if the user sits
on said seat it will press down pin 1, which will open Valve 6 and
let the water flow right down.
[0061] The aim of this construction is to make sure that the water
will flow to the bidet device only if the user sits on it. This is
a safety measure that kids will not be able to open the water
stream via this bidet.
[0062] FIG. 10 will illustrate the same device, which was shown on
FIG. 9 with the addition of soap dispenser 16 and a jet 17 which
would dispend soap if the user wants so. This new device will let
the user use soap while washing himself on this bidet. This system
will use water stream in the Nozzle 11 in order to suck the soap
into the sprayed water. The method is based on the Ventury method,
which will create pressure reduction at the jet 17 in order to suck
the soap into the water. It should be noted that this Ventury
method is only the example and the scope of the invention should
not be limited to it since there are many known methods of soap
dispensers, which will be described herein, and another example.
Like using the piston for movement to press a valve that opens the
soap flow only if the piston 4 will come to its bottom end by water
pressure and this valve will open a soap connection to jet 11. Such
valve can be mounted anywhere attached to this device so it will
open soap flow to the Nozzle 11 only when water would be used and
said valve which controls the soap flow will close once the water
will shut off. It should be noted that the mechanism must be
designed to the extant that the soap will not go backwards to the
water line at inlet 13 as was described hereby.
[0063] FIG. 11 will illustrate the device as described in FIGS. 9
and 10 with the different of a water flow controller to the said
bidet adapter whereby the water to the Nozzle of the said adapter
will get only if and when the user flushes the toilet after using
it as a regular toilet. The idea is to connect said water
automatically while the user sits on the toilet bowl but he must
flush the toilet first. The system consists mixer 1, toilet bidet
adapter 2 and the pressure differential valve 3. Said valve 3 is
situated as an interrupter valve which will open the water flow
between the mixer 1 and nozzle 2 only if there is water pressure
drop in the toilet tank line, which occurs while the toilet, is
being flushed. The outcome will be that whenever the toilet is
being flushed the user can flush or wash itself by the toilet bidet
adapter. Once the water tank in the toilet tank is full the water
to the nozzle in the bidet adapter will stop. Note: The water to
the nozzle can continue to flow until the user will come up from
the toilet seat which will close the valve as was described before.
This described method will not need a mixer but only one
temperature control valve which that water will come from
thermostat valve unit that would be in line like those thermostats
being used in showers. Note: The pressure differential 3 can be
replaced by water flow sensor, which will do the same, and it is
only example how to activate or deactivate the water flow to the
mixer to the said bidet adapter.
[0064] FIG. 12 will illustrate valve housing 1 which consist a
housing cover 2 and in between them is situated a membrane 3 by
bolts 4. Said membrane is kept down onto seat 5 by spring 9. Into
membrane 3 is mounted plunger 7 which consists its lower part 11
which being inserted tight to said membrane. The plunger 7 can be
situated into its lower part 11 by the screw 12, so it can be
adjusted and situated relative to boar 17 by the adjusting the
height of said screw 12. The complete assembly 7 can slide up into
guide 8 until the cone valve 18 plugs boar 17, or the other way
around it can slide downwards into the same guide until membrane 3
will plug the chamber B by sitting on seat 5. If membrane 3 will be
kept downwards it will cut the water flow from inlet A to outlet G,
which feeds pressurized water to the bottom of the toilet tank. The
boar 17 leads to pipe 10 which is connected to the outlet jet 6
(see FIG. 13). This valve assembly functions as follows it will be
described in FIG. 13.
[0065] The house cold water line 9 is connected to float valve 4
which is in the toilet tank 2. The outlet 13 of that valve 4 is
connected to the left side of said valve assembly A which is shown
in FIG. 13. The bottom opening 5 of said valve assembly which is
facing the bottom of the toilet tank (see FIG. 12). The outlet 10
is connected to the bottom of the toilet bowl's jet 6 via check
valve 11. At all times the water which is entering to chamber C
which is above the membrane 11 will enter via passage 13 which is
in screw 12. Said water enters to chamber C via port 14. Same
pressurized water will enter line 10 via passage 13. Said water
will be controlled by float valve 4 which is described in FIG. 13.
The moment the user flushes the toilet by pressing the handle 7 at
FIG. 13 it will lift gravity valve 3 from its seat 12, which will
make the float valve 4 to open the water to stream to port 13 which
is in FIG. 13. The water will enter to port A FIG. 12 and will
enter chamber B and port 14 in bolt 12. Since the complete housing
1 is submerged into toilet tank it is always full with water. Since
check valve 11 keeps some little pressure in it in order to
eliminate dirty water from the toilet bowl to go back into said
valve housings so this same check valve keeps chamber C always full
with water. The pressurized water that arrives from port 14 will
drain to the bottom of the toilet via port 6. At the beginning of
the flushing the pressure will accumulate underneath of the
membrane, 3 in chamber B simultaneously with the water flow to jet
6. The pressure differential between the chamber B and chamber C
will push the membrane upwards slowly, which will open water flow
to the toilet tank via outlet G and port 5 at FIG. 13. Now we have
slow membrane movement upwards as water from chamber C keeps
drained from port 14 via port 13 to port 6 in FIG. 13, until cone
valve will close boar 17. At all this time we will have pressurized
water at the bottom of the toilet bowl via jet 6 which will push
dirty from the bottom of the toilet bowl with pressurized water and
not only with gravity which is usually happen by the float and
gravity known system that exist so far. Simultaneously the toilet
tank will refill until the float will be lifted and close float
valve 4 at FIG. 13, which is at that time the pressure in chamber B
will come to 0 which no water flow is coming from said float valve.
Resulted in the movement of the membrane assembly downwards by
spring 9 that pushes it to close position between chamber B and
chamber D this new method will make sure that all the water
pressure that accumulates in chamber B will arrive to jet 6 in the
FIG. 13. It is known that to clean the toilet with the pressurized
water will take less water compare to siphon gravity method. So
with a lot of less water that usually being used by the gravity
method this less amount of water can push all the dirt from the
toilet bowl.
[0066] So in a way there is a need for a very small tank which will
consists less amount of water and said water will be used to wash
and rinse the internal toilet walls only, and not to use this
gravity water fall to push the dirt out. So with such a method of a
combination of a float valve and a tank with pressurized water
there will be significant water saving. In a regular toilet with
tank sudden water flow makes to lift the water level in the toilet
bowl and such weight of water pushes the dirt from the toilet bowl.
Here is the need for a lot of more water that being used to flush
the toilet.
[0067] At the bottom of the valve housing 1 is located plug 16,
this plug can be unscrewed in order to adjust the location of bolt
12 relative to the membrane assembly which can bring the cone valve
18 either higher or lower relative to its seat at boar 17. The
higher the cone valve will start less movement it will have to
travel while less water get through jet 6 before said flow will
stop. In a way this arrangement being used to determine how much
water will go via jet 6 and how much water will go via the gravity
valve in the tank. It should be noted that another adjustable screw
can be placed on the cover 2 of the device which is described in
FIG. 12. This screw has a cone shape to be fit to a cone seat in a
cover 2. Cover 2 has a threaded hole which ends with a seat, at the
center of that seat there is an orifice in a way that if said screw
is screwed in to that seat less water can be vented from the
Chamber above the membrane in certain given time and if that screw
will be set away from that orifice the water from Chamber C will be
vented faster so this screw can control the vent from chamber C to
be drained out to the toilet tank while the toilet is being
flushed. Such vent control screw will control the amount of water
that jet 6 will get before it stops from getting water. Since
faster the water will be drained from Chamber C faster engagement
between plug 18 and seat 17 will take place. This should be another
method to control the relativity of water getting to the toilet by
pressure relative to water by gravity. Also the complete valve
housing can be situated outside of the toilet tank and it is not a
necessity to install it into the toilet tank.
[0068] FIG. 14 will illustrate a different method to hold the
nozzle while being used spraying water. The need for the nozzle to
be held in flexible method is as follows: in order to spray the
water in two directions once going upward and second one going a
little bit downward. In two different angles, first to the rectal
area and then second to the vaginal area. The reason is that if the
person wants to rinse his body in different places between the rear
and front part, the nozzle should be able to spray the water in
those two different directions. This new method will do the same.
The way this nozzle holder is being described at this Figure by
support number 3 which holds a flexible flat tube which has two
diameters the inner diameter surface 2 of one wall and the second
inner diameter surface number 4. The nozzle 1 being held by this
flat tube. This method resembles the flat tube being used in
pressure gages.
[0069] Looking at the tube inside surface there are two moonlike
shapes connected. Since we have dual diameters in that flat tube,
the inner one has less surface which is being exposed to pressure
versus the outer one. Therefore, once the pressure would be applied
to this tube, that pressure has the ability to bend this flat tube.
The higher the pressure, the higher the bend. Therefore, if the
user will apply more pressure by opening the faucet a little bit
more, more pressure will act in this flat tube. So it will bend
this flat tube stronger therefore it will bend the angle of the
nozzle which in return will spray the water further and vice versa.
Less pressure, the water will spray in the sharper angle to more
vertical direction. So the user has the ability to control the
water flow direction by opening or closing the faucet, so it is not
only getting more or less water stream but getting it in different
directions. It should be noted that flexible part that was
described here before was the nozzle support, it could also be in
another way whereby the nozzle support can be made from firm
material and the nozzle itself could be made from the flexible
material which could give and bend under certain water
pressure.
[0070] FIG. 15 will illustrate another two features which are a
different nozzle tip. The nozzle 15 consists at its upper end a
ball 9 that consists a boar in it and this boar is situated in a
cage 16 which is built in to said nozzle 15. This embodiment will
let the ball 9 the ability to turn and move in its cage. This is
the same idea which we have in vehicles windshield washer
mechanism. The user would be able to adjust for his own convenience
the direction of the water aiming since the ball must not be in the
same line which is within the nozzle itself. This same nozzle has
an orifice 9 at the bottom to let the cold water to be drained and
also this orifice will give an access to the ball and the nozzle in
order to make sure that this boar and in said ball will never be
clogged by dirt, sand or scale which are notorious in said harsh
environment. Such problems exist all the times in all existing
products in the market that do not have access to clean said
jet.
[0071] It should be noted that the ball can have some kind of a
tail in order to have the user move the tail and the water will go
through such tail instead of going via the ball itself.
[0072] It should be noted that the one way valve to block the water
going backwards that was described in the previous figures can be
installed in the support part member number 3 of the present device
since it was moved away from the flexible nozzle holder.
[0073] FIG. 16
[0074] It is very important for public places to eliminate the use
of paper in order to wipe the anuses since people are using too
much paper and eventually are clogging the sewer. This new
described method will allow the bidet user to dry the body parts
with warm air after rinsing.
[0075] There is a way to dry the user's bottom body parts by air
via the same nozzle 4 this nozzle that sprays the water to rinse
the body, by integrating diverter valve 1 which will blow warm air
from a pressurized air tank 2, which could be always under
pressure. This diverter valve will always be in a close status so
the air from the pressurized tank will not blow air via the nozzle
only. Once the user will enter to the toilet room and sit on the
toilet seat he can activate the water/air system by a valve under
the seat, and by a motion sensor he will activate the electric part
of this system, the motion sensor 6 will activate 110 Volts relay 9
that may also consist a timer which will activate a heating coil 8
this activation can be done also manually by a different or same
actuator which will also activate the compressor to fill up the air
tank, another manual valve 7 will make sure that the air will not
vent out and it will only by user command. A diverter valve 1 will
open the air pressure to go to nozzle 4 and close the passage of
air going to the mixer 3 backwards once the user stops rinsing his
body. The air vent will remain open to dry the user for certain
time as long as the user activates said manual valve. The time can
be controlled by means like an electric timer which is given here
for example only. The combination of the actuators for the water
and air can be used via several known methods and techniques. The
above described technique is only one of them. The idea is to use
the same nozzle for dual purpose which also will clean and dry the
line by pressurized air from contamination water and germs in said
harsh environment. It should be noted that the manual valve 7 can
be controlled electrically or by a pneumatic activation valve as
well.
