Abstract: An apparatus for containing overflow water from a toilet comprises a base member having a central bore therethrough and an upwardly extending exterior wall extending around a periphery thereof and a sleeve extending through the central bore having a top end sized to be slidably received within a drain pipe for the toilet. The top end of the sleeve extends a riser distance above the base member so as to form an annular trap around the sleeve. The apparatus further comprises a top support extending substantially radially outwardly from the top end of the sleeve having openings around a periphery thereof so as to permit water introduced to a top surface of the base member to drain into the trap and a plurality of apertures extending through the sleeve proximate to the top support so as to drain water retained in the trap into the drain pipe for the toilet.

Abstract: A complete sanitary system for any toilet site area which allows for the utilization of pressurized domestic running water transferred through a hose connected to a water valve diverting structure further connected to the main toilet domestic water feed line to that particular toilet's water closet. A floor structure with the aforementioned toilet mounted to its top surface side provides the structure to collect, retain and drain the spent waste water from the hose after the water has been used to cleanse the toilet site area. An alternative drainage location in the retention basin of the floor structure with coinciding plumbing piping method allows for a possible solid waste contamination scenario by an overflow toilet or otherwise to be effectively transferred directly into the main sewer pipe.

Abstract: An insulated cover for toilet water closets intended to prevent condensation and its associated damaging properties is herein disclosed. The water closet section of the toilet is covered on the bottom and all four (4) side surfaces up to a water line with a preformed foam covering. The foam is envisioned to be of a closed cell design similar to that used on insulating sleeves for glasses and canned beverages. The foam is approximately one-quarter (¼) inch thick and available in a wide variety of colors to match all bathroom decors. The foam covering would be made in halves that meet in a shiplap joint on the sides of the water closet. Finally, the cover would be held in place on the water closet with multiple strips of hook and loop fastener material, thus allowing it to be easily removed for replacement or cleaning.

The collection system may include a collector, a drain tube, and a catch bottle. The collector may consist of a funnel positioned vertically between a mounting flange and a kick-up. A spout may extend from the funnel at an acute angle to the mounting flange. A wastewater pipe may connect through a center of the kick-up so that a portion of the wastewater pipe resides within a funnel interior of the funnel and a remaining portion resides below the kick-up and outside of the funnel interior.

Abstract: An ergonomic, contoured urinal floor mat for use with wall-urinals with the purpose of positioning a user center, up and toward a wall-urinal so as to prevent urine spillage and drippings from reaching floor below a wall-urinal. The floor mat consists of a heavy duty, permanent material with topside anti-slip and floor conforming anti-skid surfaces and is designed with three unique contouring angles which, in combination, elevates heels above toes, spreads legs, pushes toes outward, pulls heels inward, and creates a lift in the inner arch of the foot. The system also incorporates a replaceable drip tray, located between the users' legs and the urinal lip (to catch the inevitable last drops), a topside perimeter gutter (for complete urinal misses), and underside seal (to prevent liquids seepage under mat). If spills do occur, the overall contouring guides liquid into the gutter and keeps the topside foot areas dry.

Abstract: An inexpensive and disposable highly absorbent pad for placement on a floor surface directly in front of a toilet flush bowl or commode for absorbing fluid not deposited within the confines of the toilet flush bowl which would otherwise drip on the floor. Fluid absorbed by the pad is prevented from reaching the underlying floor area thereby eliminating the problems associated with fluids being deposited on the floor. The pad includes an upper absorbent layer of material and a lower non-skid fluid impervious layer of material that are glued together. The configuration of the pad includes a truncated base portion at the lower edge and the recessed portion for the commode or toilet flush bowl at the top portion.

Abstract: The TOILETFLOOR SHIELD will be a new product in line with the toilet fixtures and bathroom supplies. It is a clear flat light weight product that can come in four basic bathroom fixture colors. It is made from a thin sheet of steel. It has a soft white weather stripping complete around the outer edging of the model. The TOILETFLOOR SHIELD resembles a bathroom mat that will attractively fit in place around the toilet basing. It can fit or slide neatly in under the toilet base to the flange. It slides far enough in, to the flange that any urine will stay on the shield and not reach the original flooring. The experiment is, that all urine stay on the TOILETFLOOR SHIELD and not reach under the shield to the original flooring. This is how the TOILETFLOOR SHIELD saves and protect the flooring to last longer and cut down on those unwanted stale urine odors around the toilet base areas. It is a non-toxic chemically treated product.

Abstract: A protective mat is positioned on the shelf of a cabinet. A portion of the protective mat extends upwardly along a sidewall of the cabinet and forms a seal therewith. The shelf and sidewall define an inner volume of the cabinet. The protective mat is positioned in the inner volume so that water carried thereon is flowed out of the inner volume.

Abstract: A surface protection system consisting of three pieces, (1) cartridge-top, (2) absorbent core, and (3) base unit. The cartridge-top, made of semi-flexible material with a waffle grid design of drainage holes, traps and directs liquid spills into the absorbent core. The core is a thin layer of material attached to the entire underside of the cartridge-top, forming one unit. The core material, consisting of cotton-fluff and a super-absorbent polymer or fiber, holds and wicks the liquid away from the surface, turning it into a jell. The cartridge-top is snapped onto the top of the base unit covering it completely. It is disposed via routine trash collection during maintenance (usually weekly) and replaced by a fresh one. The base unit is also made of semi-flexible material and is extremely durable. It is placed on the floor under a urinal and secured to the floor to prevent its accidental displacement.
