A toilet comprising a base structure which is divided into separate upper and lower sections. The lower section is mounted on a support, while the upper section is releasably secured to the lower section from outside the lower section which allows access to the internal parts of the toilet without removing the base from the support or disconnecting the inlet water line. The front and side walls of the base are devoid of any openings, except for the control lever, so that water cannot splash into the interior of the toilet base.
The toilet with a deflector shield covering the flush nozzle to deflect a portion of the flush water. The deflected water flows downward to wet the bowl in the area beneath the flush water nozzle. The undeflected water flows onto a ledge at the upper end of the bowl and flows around the bowl where it gradually falls off the ledge and wets the remaining portion of the bowl. Both a foot pedal and a hand lever are provided for flushing the toilet and a cable is used to couple the foot pedal to the hand lever. The hand lever is operably connected to the flush water valve as well as the bowl discharge opening closure member to open both for flushing of the toilet.
A flush toilet bowl of water reservoir containing and pedal operating type which is compact, easy to assemble and convenient and economical in operation is provided. The toilet bowl comprises a bowl unit including a bowl and a water reservoir formed between the bowl and an outer case and a supporting unit separable from the bowl unit and having a dropping port normally closed by a slidable valve and communicated with discharging port in the lower part of the bowl. The supporting unit comprises a diaphragm pump communicated with the water reservoir in the bowl unit for pumping its water to inner wall of the bowl, means for sliding the valve to open the dropping port, means for operating the diaphragm pump and treading pedals for operating the respective means separately. A further pedal is provided for simultaneously operating the treading pedals.
An essentially all-plastic toilet includes a plastic bowl, trap, waterway, tank and rim flush retained within an outer plastic housing. Polyurethane foam fills the space between the outer housing and the internal components to provide a rigid and strong, yet light weight structure.
A toilet backflow preventing valve and toilet bowl support for mounting between a standard soil pipe mounting flange and drain horn of a standard toilet bowl supports the toilet bowl closely adjacent the floor level, receives standard toilet bolts clamping the valve between the toilet bowl and the soil pipe and has a manually actuated slide with an open position that does not obstruct flow and a closed position sealing the soil pipe to prevent blackflow into the toilet bowl. A feature includes O-ring seals for the opposite faces of the slide and relative rotation of the slide and seals to facilitate the sliding action without damaging the seals.
A portable toilet of the type having two vertically stacked sections, the lower section (12) being a holding tank, and the upper section (14) including a toilet bowl (22), a water tank (26) for storage of water for flush purposes, and flush apparatus (32) for flushing the toilet bowl. Handles (78) and (80) are provided for separately carrying the lower section (12) and the upper section (14), the handles being arranged so that they form a unitary handle for carrying the toilet (10) without the need of a clasping mechanism for holding the sections together. An improved flush apparatus (32) including the flush bulb (84) is provided so that priming of the flushing system is unnecessary. A valve assembly (46) is mounted within the confines of the lower section (12) by providing a planar member (58) that is a part of the valve body (56) and can be inserted through an opening (72) in the top wall of the lower section (12) for attachment to the top wall within the holding tank.
