Abstract
A bidet chair, having legs and a seat, for use in cleaning the body is disclosed. The seat has a spray port extending from the top side to the underside dimensioned to receive the face of a showerhead. Preferably a screen, extending completely or partially across the spray port prevents the showerhead from extending past the seat. A showerhead retaining member places the showerhead under the seat, positioning the face to expel water out the spray port. Preferably the seat also contains drain holes for water drainage during use. The showerhead retaining member can be a showerhead tray having a showerhead receiving area and support system to enable vertical movement of the showerhead tray. In another embodiment the showerhead retaining area can be a pair of rails to hold a retaining element containing the showerhead.

A bidet chair for use in cleaning the body comprising:
- a chair comprising:
- legs, and
- a seat comprising:
- a top side,
- an underside,
- a spray port extending from the top side to the underside,
- a showerhead retaining member adjacent to the underside comprising:
- a showerhead tray having a showerhead receiving area;
- and
- a support system to enable vertical movement of the showerhead tray;
- wherein downward pressure on the showerhead tray moves the showerhead tray toward a stop and release of the pressure moves the showerhead tray proximate the underside of the seat, maintaining the showerhead adjacent to and in contact with the underside of the seat beneath the spray port.
A bidet chair for use in cleaning the body comprising:
- a chair comprising:
- legs, and
- a seat comprising:
- a top side,
- an underside,
- multiple sides, one of the multiple sides having a notch,
- a spray port extending from the top side to the underside,
- drain holes positioned within the seat and extending from the top side to the underside,
- a showerhead tray having a showerhead receiving area adjacent to the underside, and support bar receiving areas
- a support system to enable vertical movement of the showerhead tray comprising:
- multiple support bars each having a first end secured to the seat, each having a length that extends through the support bar receiving areas within the showerhead tray,
- a stop at a second end of each of the multiple support bars,
- a compression spring mounted on each of the multiple support bars between the showerhead tray and the stop, the pounds of force per inch of each spring maintaining the showerhead adjacent the spray port while the showerhead is under pressure from water,
- wherein downward pressure on the showerhead tray moves the showerhead tray toward the stop and release of the pressure moves the showerhead tray proximate the underside of the seat until resistance is met and the showerhead is in contact with the spray port.
