Toilet with flushing device and self-cleaning seat

A toilet comprising:

• a toilet seat comprising a stationary ring defining a toilet seat base and a rotatable ring defining a seat surface of the toilet seat;
• said stationary ring having an outer circumference;
• rollers arranged between said stationary ring and said rotatable ring and having upper portions;
• said rollers conjointly defining a substantially circular path of travel for said rotatable ring in relation to said stationary ring and which path of travel extends substantially concentrically with respect to said outer circumference;
• said rotatable ring being rotatably arranged upon said rollers for moving along said path of travel;
• said stationary ring having an inner surface;
• means for mounting each roller of said rollers translatably in respective directions extending substantially transverse to said path of travel on said inner surface of the stationary ring;
• said rotatable ring being provided with a substantially conical bearing surface;
• said rollers being provided at said upper portions thereof with surfaces of revolution which are substantially conical;
• said substantially conical surfaces of revolution engaging in substantially straight-line contact said substantially conical bearing surface formed at said rotatable ring;
• said rollers being arranged to define axes of rotation extending substantially perpendicular to said stationary ring;
• each of said rollers being provided with a shaft;
• a respective pressure-loaded spring means provided for each of said rollers;
• and
• said rollers being displaceable in the direction of their related shaft in the direction of the stationary ring and against the force of a related one of said pressure-loaded spring means.
