Powered commode including bidet

Abstract

A commode includes a frame, a platform coupled to the frame, a supply reservoir supported by the frame and configured to store a fluid, a waste reservoir supported by the frame and configured to collect the fluid dispensed from the supply reservoir, a toilet seat rotatably coupled to the platform and configured to support a user above the platform, and a bidet nozzle coupled to and disposed below the platform. The bidet nozzle is in fluid communication with the supply reservoir. A power assembly is disposed below the platform and includes a power supply and a pump powered by the power supply. The pump is in fluid communication with the supply reservoir and the bidet.

1 . A commode comprising:
 a frame;   a platform coupled to the frame;   a supply reservoir supported by the frame and configured to store a fluid;   a waste reservoir supported by the frame and configured to collect the fluid dispensed from the supply reservoir;   a toilet seat rotatably coupled to the platform above the supply reservoir and the waste reservoir;   a bidet nozzle coupled to and disposed below the platform, the bidet nozzle being in fluid communication with the supply reservoir; and   a power assembly disposed below the platform and including a power supply and a pump powered by the power supply,   wherein the pump is in fluid communication with the supply reservoir and the bidet nozzle.   
     
     
         2 . The commode of  claim 1 , wherein the supply reservoir includes a rim opening adjacent the toilet seat, an outlet opening that is selectively in fluid communication with the waste reservoir, and a toilet bowl disposed between the rim opening and the outlet opening. 
     
     
         3 . The commode of  claim 2 , wherein the toilet bowl includes a flush nozzle that is in fluid communication with the supply reservoir. 
     
     
         4 . The commode of  claim 3 , further comprising a flush actuator coupled to the frame and moveable between an open position, in which the fluid is discharged from the supply reservoir through the flush nozzle, and a closed position, in which the fluid is inhibited from being discharged through the flush nozzle. 
     
     
         5 . The commode of  claim 4 , further comprising a waste door moveably disposed on the waste reservoir, wherein the waste door is opened when the flush actuator is moved to the open position, and wherein the waste door is closed when the flush actuator is moved to the closed position. 
     
     
         6 . The commode of  claim 2 , wherein the fluid within the supply reservoir at least partially surrounds the toilet bowl. 
     
     
         7 . The commode of  claim 1 , further comprising a bidet actuator coupled to the frame and moveable between an activated position, in which the fluid is pumped from the supply reservoir to the bidet nozzle, and a deactivated position, in which the fluid is inhibited from being pumped from the supply reservoir to the bidet nozzle. 
     
     
         8 . The commode of  claim 1 , wherein the waste reservoir is removable from the frame to enable a user to empty the fluid and waste from the waste reservoir. 
     
     
         9 . The commode of  claim 1 , wherein the power assembly is coupled to a rear surface of the supply reservoir. 
     
     
         10 . A commode comprising:
 a frame;   a toilet seat including a hinge post removably coupled to the frame via a hinge bolt and fastening nut;   a supply reservoir supported by the frame below the toilet seat and configured to store a fluid, the supply reservoir including a toilet bowl;   a waste reservoir disposed below the supply reservoir and in fluid communication with the toilet bowl, the waste reservoir configured to collect the fluid dispensed from the supply reservoir;   a bidet nozzle adjustably coupled to the frame and disposed below the toilet seat, the bidet nozzle being in fluid communication with the supply reservoir; and   a power assembly coupled to a rear surface of the supply reservoir and below the toilet seat for distributing the fluid from the supply reservoir to the bidet nozzle and the toilet bowl.   
     
     
         11 . The commode of  claim 10 , wherein the toilet seat is a first toilet seat that is removable from the frame and replaceable with a second toilet seat. 
     
     
         12 . The commode of  claim 10 , wherein the supply reservoir includes a rim opening adjacent the toilet seat, an outlet opening that is selectively in fluid communication with the waste reservoir, and the toilet bowl is disposed between the rim opening and the outlet opening. 
     
     
         13 . The commode of  claim 12 , wherein the toilet bowl includes a flush nozzle that is in fluid communication with the supply reservoir. 
     
     
         14 . The commode of  claim 13 , further comprising a flush actuator coupled to the frame and moveable between an open position, in which the fluid is discharged from the supply reservoir through the flush nozzle, and a closed position, in which the fluid is inhibited from being discharged through the flush nozzle. 
     
     
         15 . The commode of  claim 14 , further comprising a waste door moveably disposed on the waste reservoir, wherein the waste door is opened when the flush actuator is moved to the open position, and wherein the waste door is closed when the flush actuator is moved to the closed position to separate the waste reservoir from the toilet bowl. 
     
     
         16 . The commode of  claim 10 , wherein the fluid within the supply reservoir at least partially surrounds the toilet bowl. 
     
     
         17 . The commode of  claim 10 , further comprising a bidet actuator coupled to the frame and moveable between an activated position, in which the fluid is pumped from the supply reservoir to the bidet nozzle, and a deactivated position, in which the fluid is inhibited from being pumped from the supply reservoir to the bidet nozzle. 
     
     
         18 . The commode of  claim 10 , wherein the waste reservoir is removable from the frame to enable a user to empty the fluid and waste from the waste reservoir. 
     
     
         19 . The commode of  claim 10 , wherein the power assembly includes a power supply and a pump powered by the power supply. 
     
     
         20 . The commode of  claim 10 , further comprising a housing coupled to the frame for supporting the supply reservoir and the waste reservoir adjacent to each other.
