Wiping board apparatus

1. A wiping board apparatus for use in combination with a toilet seat for cleaning a user's rectal area following defecation, said apparatus comprising:

a base for mounting on the toilet seat;

an elongate rail element attached to an upper surface of said base and extending longitudinally along said base in a generally front to back orientation relative to the toilet seat, said elongate rail element protruding upwardly from said upper surface of said base; and

at least one flexible wiping sheet releasably secured to at least one of said base and said elongate rail element such that said at least one flexible wiping sheet covers said elongate rail element;

wherein the at least one flexible wiping sheet includes a flexible fabric material and at least one layer of toilet paper attached above said flexible fabric material;

whereby following the user's defecation, said base is mounted on the toilet seat with said elongate rail element facing upwardly and extending generally front to back on the toilet seat and the at least one flexible wiping sheet is connected to at least one of the base and the elongate rail element; the user sits upon the base, straddles the sheet covered elongate rail element and slides forwardly along the elongate rail element such that the at least one flexible wiping sheet wipes and cleans the rectal area of the user.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 in which said base includes a generally flat board.

3. The apparatus of claim 2 in which one of said board and said elongate rail element carries one or more positioning pins, each positioning pin engaging a corresponding positioning hole formed in the other of said board and said elongate rail element to position said elongate rail element on said base.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 in which said elongate rail element is secured to said upper surface of said base by at least one elastic band wrapped about and encircling said base and said elongate rail element attached to said base.

5. The apparatus of claim 4 in which the at least one flexible wiping sheet is releasably attached to the at least one elastic band holding the elongate rail element in position on the base.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 further including a toilet seat adapter piece for mounting on the toilet seat and disengagably supporting said base, said toilet seat adapter piece having an elongate defecation slot alignable with an opening through the toilet seat, said elongate defecation slot being exposed when said base is disengaged from said toilet seat adapter piece to allow the user to sit on said toilet seat adapter piece and defecate through said elongate defecation slot.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 in which said base carries a guide assembly received by said elongate defecation slot for restricting movement between said base and said toilet seat adapter piece when base is engaged with said toilet seat adapter piece and during use of said wiping board apparatus to clean the user's rectal area.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 in which said guide assembly includes a pair of guide blocks that respectively abut forward and rearward edges of said elongate defecation slot when said base is engaged with said toilet seat adapter piece.

9. The apparatus of claim 6 in which said toilet seat adapter piece carries at least one skid resistant band for interengaging the toilet seat to which said toilet seat adapter piece is mounted.

10. The apparatus of claim 6 in which said toilet seat adapter piece includes a generally planar board.

11. A wiping board apparatus for use in combination with a toilet having a toilet bowl, said apparatus for cleaning a user's rectal area following defecation, said apparatus comprising:

a toilet seat adapter piece for mounting on the toilet bowl and having an elongate defecation slot alignable with an interior of the toilet bowl;

a base for removably mounting on said toilet seat adapter piece;

an elongate rail element attached to an upper surface of said base and extending longitudinally along said base in a generally front to back orientation relative to the seat surface toilet seat adapter piece, said elongate rail element protruding upwardly from said upper surface of said base; and

at least one flexible wiping sheet releasably secured to at least one of said base and said elongate rail element such that said at least one flexible wiping sheet covers said elongate rail element;

whereby following a user's defecation, said base is mounted on the toilet seat adapter piece with said elongate rail element facing upwardly and extending generally front to back on the toilet seat adapter piece and the at least one flexible wiping sheet is connected to at least one of the base and the elongate rail element and the user sits upon the base, straddles the sheet covered elongate rail element and slides forwardly along the elongate rail element such that the at least one flexible wiping sheet wipes and cleans the rectal area of the user;

said elongate defecation slot of said toilet seat adapter piece being exposed when said base is disengaged from said toilet seat adapter piece to allow the user to sit on said toilet seat adapter piece and defecate through said elongate defecation slot.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 in which said base carries a guide assembly received by said elongate defecation slot for restricting movement between said base and said toilet seat adapter piece when said base is engaged with said toilet seat adapter piece and during use of said wiping board apparatus to clean the user's rectal area.

13. The apparatus of claim 12 in which said guide assembly includes a pair of guide blocks that respectively abut forward and rearward edges of said elongate defecation slot when said base is engaged with said toilet seat adapter piece.

14. The apparatus of claim 11 in which said toilet seat adapter piece is hingedly connected to the toilet bowl, said elongate defecation slot extending front to back relative to the toilet bowl and being no greater than about four inches in width.

15. The apparatus of claim 11 in which said toilet seat adapter piece includes a generally planar board that is releasably attachable to the toilet bowl for replacing a toilet seat.

16. The apparatus of claim 11 in which said toilet seat adapter piece includes a tactile user positioning groove formed along a longitudinal edge of said elongated defecation slot for enabling positioning of the user on the toilet seat adapter piece.
