  • Patent number: 8776280
    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.
