Safety toilet seat

Abstract

Abstract A safety toilet seat comprising a cassette jacket type seat, a water transporting system and a controlled heating system whereby the cassette jacket-type seat is made as a jacket, the interior of which is filled with water which is kept warm by the controlled heating system. A spray nozzle is provided at the front and rear of the cassette jacket-type seat and in communication with the interior thereof. The warm water in the seat is sprayed via the nozzles to thereby wash the anus and/or genitals of user seated thereon. Conventionally heated toilet seats when used during the cold winter season are usually heated by means of an electric heating coil encased within the toilet seat. Additionally, if the toilet unit is equipped with a genital and/or anus wash washing unit, a second electric heating coil is necessary. Dual heating coils of this nature tent to waste energy, increase production cost and promote maintenance problems with respect to the toilet unit. In conventional toilet seats having washing mean incorporated therein, the water stored between the nozzle and the heating coil is cold and when sprayed upon the appropriate body parts i.e. the vagina, anus or both, the coldness of the water provides a discomforting feeling to the user. Moreover, in the interest of safety, the use of electric heating coils in a moisture existing bath or toilet room is discouraged since the potential for shock hazard is always present since the human body could very easily come in contact with current leaking from the heating coil should the heating coil malfunction.
