  • Patent number: 8677519
    Abstract: A drainage connector communicates between a drain outlet of a toilet drainage path connected to a toilet bowl and a connecting port of a drain conduit led into a room equipped with a toilet body. The drainage connector includes a casing formed with a flow inlet connected to the drain outlet and a flow outlet connected to the port, and piping disposed in the casing. The piping has an upstream piping having an upstream opening communicating with the flow inlet and forming a downward flow path when the drain outlet communicates with the port and a downstream piping connected to the upstream piping and having a downstream opening open to the casing in a lateral direction along an inner surface of the casing so that flush water flows out in the lateral direction. The downstream piping forms an upward flow path when the drain outlet communicates with the port.
