Abstract
A combination toilet seat and bidet adapted for use on conventional toilets, comprising a seat portion and a cover portion hingedly-connected to each other to form a unit which is preferably pivotably-connected to a mounting member which is adapted to be connected to the seal-mounting holes of a conventional toilet. The cover portion preferably includes a water spray attachment which is adapted to be connected to a water source. The attached unit is convertible between normal seat-down position and cover-under or bidet position by lifting the unit from the front, pivoting it 180.degree. on the mounting member and then lowering the front of the unit so that the unit rests on the toilet in inverted or upside down position.
