  • Publication number: 20090084452
    Abstract: The device—COEZE—prevents the overflowing of the toilet stool contents upon the floor of the bathroom when the toilet is flushed-usually caused by an obstruction or cloggage of the main house sewer line. When a cloggage occurs, fluid and pressure build up in the sewer line. This causes the float ball (inside the vertical cleanout pipe} to rise and in turn the finial (resting on the top cap) to also rise. This exposes the ¾ inch hole in the top cap allowing the pressure and fluids to be released outside the home rather than inside.

  • Publication number: 20030051655
    Abstract: Now, most home and business water/sewer pipes are fitted with a four inch diameter PVC pipe running from the confluence of the subsidiary house outlet pipes and the main home sewer pipe to the surface. This pipe is fitted on top with a screw-in top cap. A hole is drilled into the center of this top cap and the cleanout alert inserted into the cap with the rod running thru the cap-the float is adjusted to set at the confluence of the outlet pipes and the main house sewer pipe. A finial is attached to the top of the rod on top of the screw-in top cap. Any cloggage/stoppage evident at the sub-surface level (evidenced by a movement of the finial above the surface) alerts the tenant to the fact, preventing damaging consequences if the situation is not corrected. There are not now any sub-surface warning devices of this type alerting the tenant, very early, that a cloggage is occurring and preventing a damaging sewage back-up.
