A toilet device with a system for inspecting the health condition of the toilet user includes a toilet having a bowl surface with a urine reservoir for holding a urine sample, a box having at least a water tank disposed rearwardly and upwardly of the toilet, the box having an outlet opening in a bottom thereof, a slider for holding a urine test paper piece, the slider being movable from within the box toward the urine reservoir to immerse the urine test paper piece in the urine sample in the urine reservoir, a urine analyzing device disposed in the box, for analyzing constituents of the urine sample attached to the urine test paper piece, a lifting and lowering mechanism for reciprocally lifting and lowering the slider through the outlet opening along a substantially vertical inclined path between the urine analyzing device and the urine reservoir, and a display panel for controlling the lifting and lowering mechanism and the urine analyzing device and for displaying results of a urine analysis effected by the urine analyzing device.

Toilet device with system for inspecting health conditions

A body part cleansing device for use with a toilet is provided. The device provides a jet of warm water which has been mixed with air to a desired body part of a user in order to cleanse the body part. The device includes a cleaning nozzle adapted to direct a jet of warm water in combination with air and includes a nozzle member, an injector member and a joint which are separably interconnected and which can be easily assembled and disassembled. By being so connected, the two members and the joint are satisfactorily aligned to provided a desired angle and direction of water jet for effective cleansing purposes. Air is mixed with water within the nozzle member, air being introduced in the nozzle member via an air intake unit which mixes air with heated water prior to the warm water jet exiting from a jet opening in the nozzle member. Optionally, an auxiliary nozzle unit can be provided which includes a nozzle member and a jet opening directed towards the rear of the toilet in order to clean the back portion thereof. Both the cleansing nozzle and the auxiliary nozzle unit are enclosed within a nozzle cover in order to prevent either the cleansing nozzle or the auxiliary nozzle unit from being subjected to an unhygienic environment.

Body part cleansing device

A topical washing device is utilized to clean a predetermined body portion of a user. The device includes a washing nozzle for discharging washing water and a water feed line connecting the washing nozzle to a source of water. A heat exchanger, heater, temperature sensor, heat-sensitive safety switch, and controller are provided to control the temperature of water which is discharged. By using the device, water will be discharged from the device which is always comfortable to a user, even after the device has not been used for relatively long periods and when water supplied to the device varies in temperature.
