Abstract
A bidet comprises a frame adapted to be mounted to a toilet bowl. The frame includes a water chamber. A nozzle pipe is slidably connected to the frame so as to be slidable between first and second operating positions. The frame carries a motor-driven valve actuator, and the nozzle pipe carries two valves, one of which is aligned with the valve actuator when the nozzle pipe is in either of its operating positions. By actuating a first motor an operator positions an outlet of the nozzle pipe in either of two positions, and by operating a second motor the operator causes water to be ejected through the outlet.

A bidet-type washing device for attachment to a toilet bowl for washing an anal area or genital area of a human body, comprising:
- a frame for attachment to said toilet bowl, said frame having a motor-driven valve actuator;
- a nozzle pipe mounted in said frame for movement between first and second positions corresponding to anal and genital positions, respectively, said nozzle pipe having a water outlet including a plurality of nozzle openings;
- power-driven displacing means for displacing said nozzle pipe between said first and second positions;
- first and second valve means mounted on said nozzle pipe and arranged to be selectively positioned for actuation by said actuator, when said nozzle pipe is in said first and second positions, respectively;
- and
- water-supplying means for supplying pressurized water to said valve actuator so that when either of said first and second valve means is opened by said actuator, water is ejected through said first or said second valve means and then through said nozzle openings.
