Abstract
Abstract An excretions treating apparatus comprises a horn (54) which is vibrated by ultrasonics, a pump (6) for pumping cleaning liquid into a passage defined between the horn (54) and a protection cover (13) covering the horn (54), and a suction passage (25) formed in the horn (54). The excrements in a rectum crushed and emulsified by the ultrasonic vibration of the horn (54) and the cleaning liquid is evacuated by a suction pump (12) through the suction passage.
