Abstract

A baby bidet system may include a receptacle with a drainage opening, a drainage conduit fluidically coupled to the drainage opening, a mounting member attached to the receptacle and configured to couple the receptacle to a wall, and a toilet seat cover configured to cover a toilet seat and a toilet bowl. The toilet seat cover may have a trapdoor configured be opened by an outlet of the drainage conduit. The receptacle may be movable between a first and a second position. In the first position, the receptacle may extend outward away from the wall and over the toilet seat cover, and the drainage conduit may extend through the trap door in the toilet seat cover. In the second position, the receptacle may extend along the wall, and the drainage conduit may be aligned with the underside of the receptacle.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified

 in the first position, the receptacle extends outward in a direction away from the wall and over the toilet seat cover, and the drainage conduit extends between the drainage opening and the toilet bowl through the trap door in the toilet seat cover; and 
 in the second position, the receptacle extends along the wall, and the drainage conduit is aligned with an underside portion of the receptacle. 
   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein an outer surface of the receptacle comprises an anti-microbial material. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the receptacle is defined by a first region comprising a head cradle, a second region comprising a leg cradle and the drainage outlet, and a central region positioned between the first region and the second region, wherein a first edge and a second edge of the central region form walls to contain water and waste in the receptacle. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the second region is vertically offset from the first region such that, when the receptacle is in the first position, water and waste are directed through the drainage outlet. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a spray nozzle comprising:
 a water conduit configured to fluidically couple to a water supply and one or more fluid outlets fluidically coupled to the water conduit,   a soap chamber for storing soap,   a mixing chamber fluidically coupled to the water conduit and the soap chamber,   one or more fluid outlets fluidically coupled to the mixing chamber, and   a first user control configured to cause water received from the water supply to mix with the soap from the soap chamber and to cause said mixture of water and soap to exit the one or more fluid outlets.   
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the spray nozzle further comprises a second user control configured to cause water received from the water supply to exit the one or more fluid outlets in one or more spray patterns. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the spray nozzle further comprises:
 a thermostatic valve fluidically coupled to the water conduit and configured to fluidically coupled to the water supply;   a third user control configured to control the thermostatic valve in order to control a temperature of water that exits the one or more fluid outlets.   
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a locking mechanism configured to hold the receptacle in the second position. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the receptacle is configured to be moved between the first position and the second position by a user using at most one hand. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the underside portion of the receptacle comprises a cavity configured to receive the drainage outlet when the receptacle is in the second position. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the drainage outlet is mechanically coupled to the receptacle by a four-bar linkage. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein, when the receptacle is in the second position, the fluidic coupling between the drainage outlet and the drainage conduit is configured to break. 
     
     
         13 . A baby bidet system comprising:
 a receptacle comprising a drainage opening;   a wall connector configured to be affixed to a wall;   a toilet seat connector configured removably couple to a toilet seat of a toilet;   a coupler affixed to the receptacle and configured to mechanically couple to the wall connector and the toilet seat connector, wherein:
 when the coupler is coupled to the toilet seat connector, the receptacle is positioned on top of the toilet seat such that the drainage opening is fluidically coupled to a toilet bowl of the toilet; and 
 when the coupler is coupled to the wall connector, the receptacle is disposed against the wall. 
   
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein an outer surface of the receptacle comprises an anti-microbial material. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein the receptacle is defined by a first region comprising a head cradle, a second region comprising a leg cradle and the drainage outlet, and a central region positioned between the first region and the second region, wherein a first edge and a second edge of the central region form walls to contain water and waste in the receptacle. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 15 , wherein the second region is vertically offset from the first region such that, when the receptacle is in the first position, water and waste are directed through the drainage outlet. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 13 , further comprising a spray nozzle comprising:
 a water conduit configured to fluidically couple to a water supply and one or more fluid outlets fluidically coupled to the water conduit,   a soap chamber for storing soap,   a mixing chamber fluidically coupled to the water conduit and the soap chamber,   one or more fluid outlets fluidically coupled to the mixing chamber, and   a first user control configured to cause water received from the water supply to mix with the soap from the soap chamber and to cause said mixture of water and soap to exit the one or more fluid outlets.   
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 17 , wherein the spraying member further comprises a second user control configured to cause water received from the water supply to exit the one or more fluid outlets in one or more spray patterns.
