Portable bidet module

Abstract

A portable bidet module is an apparatus that connects to the incoming toilet water supply to function as a bidet on a standard toilet. The device has an adapter that tee's into the waterline and connects via a hose to a module housing that houses a pump for boosting the water pressure to a second hose having a spray nozzle at the end that is used as the bidet. The module housing may also hold disposable towels and a disinfectant dispenser.

 a water supply pipe;
 wherein said water supply pipe is adapted to supply water to said flush tank; and 
 
   a portable bidet module comprising:
 a water supply adapter including:
 an inlet;
 wherein said inlet is adapted to allow water to pass from said water supply pipe and into said water supply adapter; 
 
 a first outlet;
 wherein said first outlet is adapted to allow water to pass outwardly from said water supply adapter; 
 
 a second outlet;
 wherein said second outlet is spaced from said first outlet and adapted to allow water to pass outwardly from said water supply adapter and into said flush tank of said toilet apparatus; and 
 
 a valve;
 wherein said valve is adapted to direct water through said first outlet in a first position, and through said second outlet in a second position; 
 
 wherein said water supply adapter is adapted to be connected to said water supply pipe via said inlet and supply water therefrom;
