Abstract: A toilet for use with training a child is provided. The toilet comprises a main toilet portion having a backrest and a pair of arm rests. A bowl rests within the main toilet portion. A seat is positioned over the bowl. A CD player is integrated into the main toilet portion. A plurality of finger-shaped recesses are formed on a top surface and front surface of the arm rests with the child's fingers receivable within the recesses. A sensor is positioned between the main toilet portion and the bowl with the bowl resting upon the sensor wherein upon the child contacting the finger-shaped recesses, the arm rests and recesses light up and make sounds and wherein upon bodily waste entering the bowl, the weight change of the bowl against the sensor automatically activates the CD player.

Abstract: A water conservation system is provided public and domestic lavatories. The system includes a distinctive flush mechanism of two features. One of these features entails a “treatment button” which, upon depression, will cause to emit a fluid compound into urinated wastewater decolorizing and sanitizing it and bringing it back to its original, colorless, odorless condition. Accordingly, potable water is not used for flushing. The urinated wastewater is “treated” and, so, remains through subsequent “treatments” until such time when solid waste is deposited necessitating a conventional flush utilizing the flush lever and usual water use. The savings in volume of water is realized upon considering the number of times the “treatment button” is executed and potable water is “not withdrawn.” The system is revolutionary in that it dispenses with a “necessary flush” each time the toilet is used. Moreover, this novel system addresses the recurring local, and national, drought emergency situations.

Abstract: An integrated drain and fountain device having a stationary fountain nozzle integrated within a lower portion of a sink and disposed to produce a vertical stream of water at a user-defined water pressure. A concentrically located drain to the fountain nozzle is adapted to receive and collect water and is in fluid communication with drain piping. A water supply riser is in fluid communication with a water intake pipe that allows both hot and cold water to enter the water supply riser so that water can be discharged through the fountain nozzle. A controller for the fountain device is located on a counter top so that when a downward force is applied to the controller, the downward force is directed through a linkage including a flexible arm that redirects the downward force to an upward force causing an o-ring stopper of the integrated drain and fountain device to move vertically.

Abstract: A toilet flapper ventilation system includes a water-tight electric fan enclosed in a structure which slows the descent of the flapper section through the water in the toilet tank. A guiding system is used to direct the flapper section's rise and fall, and ensure its water-tight return to the flapper valve. The cusp at the lower end of the flapper section has an angled opening which directs the suction of the fan from the toilet bowl through the water discharge tube. The upper end of the flapper section is connected to a flexible, hollow tube which directs the air flow through a filtration system.

Abstract: A therapeutic tub device for receiving water and a person to allow the person to soak in the water includes a tub being filled with water. The tub receives a person to allow the person to soak in the water. The tub is insulated to maintain a temperature of the water in the tub. The tub includes a bottom wall and a perimeter wall extending upwardly from the bottom wall to define an interior space of the tub. An upper edge of the perimeter wall defines an open top end to permit the water and the person to enter the interior space. A telescopic cover is coupled to the upper edge of the tub. The telescopic cover telescopically extends from a foot end of the tub to a head end of the tub to cover the open top end of the tub.

Abstract: A toilet apparatus is adapted to put the excrement produced each time by the user of the toilet into a bag to form a package of waste, treating the excrement into a state of combustible substance before putting it into a bag. The toilet apparatus is equipped with a long, flexible and folded continuous cylindrical member set in position below a toilet seat as packaging member that is adapted to receive the excrement produced by the user each time and become sealed and transferred downward in the toilet bowl, a processing material for absorbing liquid and semi-solidifying the excrement being arranged at a side of the toilet apparatus, a quantity of the processing material being fed into the packaging member for receiving the excrement each time of production of excrement so as to absorb liquid from the excrement, the packaging member being subsequently sealed at an opening thereof.

Abstract: The present invention provides a two-level flush assembly that can be retrofitted to virtually any toilet with a tank that provides two different water volumes for toilet flushing with a full tank flush for heavy waste and a partial tank flush for light or liquid waste. The flush assembly may use the existing handle and provide tactile feedback for each of the two flush volumes. The two levels of flushing action may be achieved with two independent detent-latch mechanisms, one on each side of the tower, operating on the single toilet flapper. Two independent floats may be utilized, each connected to a release mechanism on either side of the flapper and the water level that supports the float may determine when the flapper is released to close on its seat. The two floats may be set at two different water depths providing a flushing action releasing different volumes of water.

Abstract: A bath tub rail assembly for use on a bath tub sidewall includes a hand grip and a clamping device. The hand grip and the clamping device are adjustably connected such that the hand grip may be adjusted in both height and angular orientation relative to the bath tube sidewall when the bath tub rail assembly is attached thereto.

Abstract: A portable baby sanitizer with air pump device is provided which allows a user to activate a pressurizable chamber, that will dispense a multiplicity of liquid streams onto, and in order to cleanse, a baby's bottom. The sanitizer device includes the pressurizable chamber which has an air pump and an air release valve. The chamber is in direct fluid flow communication with a seat. The seat contains a liquid holding reservoir which dispenses a liquid spray, when the air release valve is engaged, through a plurality of discharge holes that are disposed along the inner rim of the seat. The sanitizer device can be used in conjunction with an independently transportable stand or in conjunction with a standard toilet.

Abstract: A hygienic apparatus includes a urinal, a toilet bowl, and a water-storing device including a housing body interconnecting the urinal and the toilet bowl, a water tank disposed in the housing body, a water-feeding tube allowing flow of water into the water tank therethrough. A drain tube unit is in fluid communication with the urinal and the toilet bowl. A flush unit includes a urinal-flushing tube in fluid communication with the water tank and the urinal, and a toilet-flushing tube in fluid communication with the water tank and the toilet bowl. A swivel mechanism includes a base, a vertical shaft disposed fixedly on the base and extending into an assembly of the urinal, the toilet bowl, and the water-storing device, and a driving unit operable to drive rotation of the assembly of the urinal, the toilet bowl, and the water-storing device relative to the base about the vertical shaft.

Abstract: The present invention is directed a splash guard for containing the contents of a toilet during plunging, comprising: a substantially ovular pliable shield having a top side, a bottom side, a peripheral edge and a blunted posterior end, the pliable shield having a size from 5-20% greater than the size of said toilet seat; a drape member having an upper edge, a bottom edge, and a distance between the upper edge and said bottom edge of 3 to 8 inches; and a resilient element; the top edge of the drape member circumferentially affixed to the peripheral edge of the pliable shield at a seam, the resilient element being tensioned and operatively affixed along the length of the seam but optionally the elastic element not being affixed to the seam at the blunted end; the pliable shield further having a minor opening sized and positioned for slideably receiving a plunger handle, whereby when the splash guard is positioned on the underside of the toilet seat and the resilient element is stretched outwardly, and then upw
