Among others, the present invention provides toilet seat assemblies for cleaning, disinfecting, and/or sanitizing toilet seat, each including a base configured to be secured to the top surface of the toilet bowl; a toilet seat attached to the base and movable between an open position and a closed position; and a cover attached to the base and movable between an open position and a closed position. The toilet seat assembly may include a liquid discharge and disperse means, which further includes one or more liquid discharge apertures for discharging a liquid, particularly with an atomizer for spraying the mist, and one or more gas discharge apertures for facilitating dispersal of the liquid, thereby enabling the liquid to contact, clean, disinfect and/or sanitize the toilet seat.

Toilet seat cleaning devices, methods and systems are described. Toilet seat cleaning systems may include a toilet, a toilet seat, a sensor, and a fluid dispenser. Toilet seats may include a flow way, at least one opening and at least one surface whereon fluids from a fluid dispenser may be communicated. Fluid dispensers may include a fluid container and a dispenser mechanism. Methods of using toilet seat cleaning systems may include a user influencing the activation of a dispenser mechanism; the dispenser mechanism influencing the communication of fluid from a fluid container to a flow way; the fluid being communicated through the flow way and out of at least one opening and onto at least one surface of a toilet seat; and the fluid on the at least one surface of the toilet seat being engaged by the user in order to clean the toilet seat.

A toilet seat assembly includes a base configured to be attached to the toilet bowl, the base including a toilet seat, a lid, and an energy source. A hydraulic cylinder in the base is operable to open and close the seat and lid using water from the mains water supply. The assembly can include a cleaning assembly at least partially housed in the base, such as one that includes a cleaning cassette configured to contain a cleaning product. A processor and valve assembly are configured to control a flow of water between the mains water supply and the toilet bowl in response to sensor or user input. The assembly is configured to clean the toilet bowl automatically and can also or alternately be configured for automatic opening and closing of the lid and toilet seat.

A toilet seat cover is configured to fit over a corresponding toilet seat, forming an air tight seal around the toilet seat at a lower edge of the toilet seat cover when the toilet seat cover is in a lowered position. The toilet seat cover provides a seat channel in the underside of the toilet seat cover in which the seat resides when the toilet seat cover is lowered. There is a gap between the toilet seat and the underside of the toilet seat cover in the seat channel to allow air to flow between the seat and the underside of the toilet seat cover. The toilet seat cover includes a fluid channel and a plurality of nozzles along the fluid channel which spray the toilet seat with a cleaning or sanitizing fluid when the toilet seat cover is in the lowered position. After stopping the spraying of sanitizing fluid, the toilet is flushed using suction, lowering the air pressure under the toilet seat cover. Holes in the toilet seat cover into the seat channel direct the flow of air over the surface of the toilet seat to dry the toilet seat.

The present invention generally relates to a toilet seat assembly and toilet cover assembly for toilet comprising a toilet seat assembly and toilet cover assembly, the toilet seat and toilet cover provided with seal(s) between the toilet seat and toilet cover and between the toilet seat and toilet bowl when in the closed position; a water conduit for the supply of water from a source of pressurized water; a spray assembly mounted on the toilet seat assembly and toilet cover assembly and comprising: a sprayer conduit adapted to accept a supply of pressurized water from the water conduit; and a sprayer array connected to the sprayer conduit and disposed on the toilet seat and toilet cover assembly, and adapted to direct a spray of pressurized water across an interior bowl surface of a toilet bowl once the toilet seat and toilet cover assembly are connected over a toilet bowl; and at least one valve to control the supply of water to the sprayer conduit. The present invention also includes a toilet fitted with the toilet seat and toilet cover assembly to create a self-cleaning toilet and the associated method of retrofitting an existing toilet with such an assembly.

This invention is an advanced toilet/bidet with a remote toilet seat that stores both the majority of the bidet hardware and an advanced software program, providing a toilet seat that is thinner and lighter than a traditional toilet/bidet combination. The toilet seat has a bidet nozzle, and an internal cavity in which additional hardware and software is stored. The toilet seat has sensors the record health-related data on each user and has a unique cleaning mechanism to ensures the highest sanitary standards.

A toilet assembly with a self-cleaning rim system is provided. The toilet assembly includes a toilet tank for storing water used by the toilet assembly. The toilet assembly includes a flush valve disposed within the toilet tank that opens and closes to deliver the stored water in the toilet tank. The toilet assembly includes a toilet bowl comprising a rim having a hollow section and a top surface forming an area suitable for water flow. The toilet assembly includes a rinse channel including a rinse channel inlet for receiving water from the toilet tank, the rinse channel configured to deliver the water for cleaning the top surface of the rim with each activation of the flush valve.

A toilet seat assembly is provided including a seat base with a housing and a seat lid, and further including a washing apparatus, a drying apparatus, and a spray canister device positioned in the housing. A controller having a user interface is configured to communicate with a control unit of the toilet seat assembly to control operation of the components of the toilet seat assembly. So configured, a user may operate the toilet seat assembly to clean the user's perineal region via the washing apparatus, dry the user's perineal region via the drying apparatus, and spray the user's perineal region with one or more liquid products via the spray canister device.

A plume cleaning system for a toilet is integrated with a toilet. In one example, a plume cleaner assembly adjacent to a toilet seat is independently removable with respect to the toilet seat. The plume cleaner assembly may include a plume cleaner, apertures, and a fan positioned to draw plume air through the plurality of apertures for treatment by the plume cleaner and expel the treated plume air out of the plume cleaner assembly in a direction at an angle to the apertures. In another example, a plume cleaner assembly with the toilet seat may include at least a fan, an electrostatic collector, and a mist generator. In another example, a plume cleaner assembly is integrated in a tank of the toilet to generate a sanitization fluid that is channeled into the toilet bowl through an overflow tube and/or rim channels.

An auto cleaning toilet seat assembly with a cover coupled to a toilet seat and defining a fluid transport conduit surrounding the toilet seat. The cover also includes an air deflector formed as part of the upper wall and at the front end of the cover, wherein the air deflector includes two opposing surfaces converging together away from the inner surface of the outer sidewall. The assembly is operably to emit a liquid on a rear portion of a toilet seat and induce a gas to transport that liquid from the rear of the toilet seat to the front of the toilet, whereby the air deflector directs the liquid and air through the fluid transport conduit and into a toilet bowl utilizing the two opposing surfaces of the air deflector.
