Abstract
Abstract A portion of the seat for a separate draining, sponging or rinsing bath is perforated and hinged at the back for tilting upwardly for: (1) free exposure to the bidet spray, (2) provision of a bowl, and (3) access to the plumbing. The front edge of the seat portion curves downwardly to provide a front skirt partially closing a frontal overflow opening for the bowl. A separate drain outlet for the seat constitutes an overflow for the bath. When the seat portion is tilted upwardly the remaining seat exposes the bather directly to the bidet spray, or the bather has access to a bowl beneath.
