Abstract: A bidet assembly comprises at least one jet nozzle, connected to a multi-port tube fitting, which is connected to a water supply tube, which may comprise of four sections, and which is connected to the toilet bowl refill nipple, and a non-permanent mounting means. Said bidet assembly is a one-size-fits-all for retrofitting toilets of all sizes and shapes, has no moving parts, valves or controls and which provides fine jet streams of cool water spray—even from chilly cold water source—for cleansing a user's private parts during a toilet bowl refill cycle. Said bidet assembly is mounted inside and behind a toilet tank and inside a bowl and, therefore, is completely hidden from view and keeps water from splashing outside of the bowl. Said bidet assembly can be mounted or removed without tools, in less than two minutes and leaves neither mars nor damage on a toilet.

Abstract: A bidet assembly for toilets comprising a non-permanent mounting means, such as a “C” clamp device and a long stiff wedging member with spring-back property, one or more nozzles mounted inside a toilet bowl under the rim lip, and a water supply tube that connects directly to the bowl refill nipple on a ballcock. Said multi-parts bidet assembly forms one integral tubing unit. Said bidet assembly can be mounted or removed, without tools, in 2 minutes or less and leaves no mar or damage on a toilet. Said bidet assembly is hidden from view, provides clean water for cleansing a user's private parts during the refill cycle and keeps water from splashing out of a toilet, and has no moving parts or controls of any kind to manipulate. Said bidet assembly can retrofit toilets of any size and shape and can be fabricated from commonly available merchandise.

Abstract: This invention relates to fluoropolymer fibers and films which can be modified by cationic agents, such as cationic dyes. The fiber or film comprises a blend of a first and a second copolymer, or it comprises a terpolymer, the blend or terpolymer having (1) an acid or ionic functionality provided by a pendant group represented by the formula —(O—CF2CFR)aO—CF2CFR′SO3−Z+, wherein R and R′ are independently selected from F, Cl or a perfluorinated alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, a=0, 1 or 2, and Z+ is H+, an alkali metal cation, or a cation derived from a compound selected from the group consisting of a cationic dye, a cationic whitener, a cationic flame retardant, a cationic antistatic agent, and mixtures thereof, and (2) a larger amount of a fluoroalkylvinylether, a fluoroalkene, or ethylene functionality. Such fibers and films are useful in various consumer goods where the product is desirably colored, whitened, antistatic, or flame retardant.
