Abstract
A toilet seat assembly is provided with a toilet seat (1) as well as a toilet lid (8), which can be separated for cleaning from each other and from a bidet (42) arranged in a hollow projection of the toilet seat (1) by simple manipulations and without tools. Flank parts (38, 39), which are pivotably mounted on the housing (17) of the bidet with support pins (12, 13) made in one piece on the inside of the housing, are made in one piece with the toilet seat assembly (1). Actuating members, which cooperate with an elastic tongue (25) or with a disk (21) of the bidet (42) to actuate a pressure switch (27) or a valve (28), are also arranged in these flank parts. The housing (17) of the bidet (42) is closed practically completely and is protected from splashing water even when the toilet seat has been removed.
