Abstract: A flush toilet 1 has a toilet flushing tank device 7 for discharging flushing water to a toilet bowl 2. This tank device is built into a tank storage region 5 to the rear of the toilet bowl 2, and comprises a flushing water tank 8 and a jet pump 13 disposed submerged in this flushing water tank 8. Flushing water (operating water) is supplied to this jet pump 13 via a flush valve 11 and a pipe 12 downstream from this valve. The jet pump 13 comprises a spray nozzle 131 and a throat 132 opposite thereto. Because the jet pump 13 is connected directly to a pipe 14, all of the flushing water jetted from the jet pump 13 passes directly to the pipe 14, and is guided by this pipe 14 to a rim water channel 4b.

Abstract: A water efficient toilet includes a self pressurized tank connected to a water supply through conduits and includes a valve operatively connected to the conduits. The toilet assembly has a bowl with inner walls, the bowl having a lower reservoir connected to a trap way and an upper rim with a channel therein. The channel is provided with a plurality of openings and the lower reservoir of the bowl has through holes. The through holes of the lower reservoir and the channel of the upper rim of the bowl are connected to the valve by a first and second conduit. When flushing the toilet by opening the valve, a phased inflow of water in the toilet is induced. The phased inflow of water includes an initial and an intermediate inflow of water. The initial inflow of water passes into the first conduit and through the through holes of the lower reservoir to initiate the evacuation of the contents of the lower reservoir through the trap way into a drain pipe.

Abstract: The flushing device comprises a flush bowl (1) comprising an odor trap (8) on a bottom part (7) and comprises a flushing conduit (2) with flushing openings (14, 15, 16) on an upper edge (3). Flushing openings (14) in a frontal area (13) of the flushing conduit (2) have a greater throughput than laterally arranged flushing openings (15, 16) do. The flushing openings (4) in said frontal area (13) are arranged in an asymmetric manner and the flushing water (17) forms a flushing vortex (17c) in the bowl (11). The flushing device makes it possible to effectively flush with less flushing water.

Abstract: A flushing device has two water outlets, wherein one outlet is connected to an arch of a trap of the toilet bowl. This outlet is connected to means with which a portion of the flushing water present in a flushing tank can be pressurized and released to this outlet. The water is briefly set into motion with the pressurized flushing water, and more effective emptying of the trap is achieved. The flushing device according to the present invention represents a lower load for the water pipes and operates with less noise than flushing valve-type devices.

Abstract: The flush toilet has a waste receipt surface section (10) of a bowl section (1) formed continuously integrally with an inner rim wall surface section (15) of the rim portion disposed at a peripheral edge of an upper opening (13) of the bowl section (1) as a curved surface; and the inner rim wall surface section (15) of the rim portion acts as a flush water passage (16) of the bowl section. The flush water passage (16) of the bowl section is further configured such that the inner rim wall surface section (15) of the rim portion is shaped in an overhanging form inclining so as to hang over inside of the bowl section (1). The flush toilet of this configuration can be cleaned with ease and kept clean in sanitation.

Abstract: When a cleaning button for cleaning the toilet bowl is operated, by a manner as pressing, a switching valve 41 switches the flushing water supply destination to a position for cleaning the bowl part. The flushing water is then jetted out of a spout nozzle 35 disposed inside a Z water conduit 161 as a jet flow. The jet flow from the spout nozzle 35 causes water inside the Z water conduit 161 and water inside the flushing water reservoir 104 to flow through the Z water conduit 161 and to be spouted toward an inlet 121 of a waste trap 102, like a jet flow spouted by a jet pump. This supplies a heavy flow of flushing water amplified in the volume into the waste trap 102 all at once to flush out the filth in the bowl part 101.

Abstract: A toilet provides a traditional water filled bowl with flushing action as well as a bidet in one unit. Heated air is forced into the toilet bowl interior and directed onto bidet washed surfaces for drying. Water is directed into the bowl under pressure for flushing and for operating the bidet. The upper rim of the toilet bowl contains a channel which dispenses flush water downwardly for cleaning the interior of the toilet during flushing. Flush water is also directed from two additional outlets to provide flushing action. The toilet is fixtured for wall mounting at an adjustable height which may be changed by merely repositioning mounting bolts on a pair of vertical supports. Sewage pipes are telescoping or extendable for accommodating a vertical positioning range.

Abstract: A flush toilet (10) is operated by a flushometer (14) which passes water to a water chamber (36). The chamber is sized to assure that the bottom (48) of the toilet bowl and waste outlet (22) are resealed against sewer gas backup. The chamber has outlets (30) and (32) that direct water to a jet outlet (20) and a rim rinse outlet (21) to flush the toilet and provides drainage of water after the flushometer is closed to reseal the toilet bowl (12).

Abstract: A flush toilet system includes a bowl that is drained in a flush operation through a flow path including a trap and a siphon. A bypass passage supplies a back jet of water in the reverse flow direction in the flow path. A back jet valve assembly opens to permit back jet flow during only the first part of the interval during which flush water is supplied to the system from a water supply. The kinetic energy of the back jet is converted to static pressure to block or impede flow of flush water through the flow path. Water level increases in the bowl, and when the back jet flow is discontinued a siphon flush operation proceeds. The back flush valve assembly also releases water after the flushing operation in order to reseal the trap.

Abstract: The flushing means has a flushing tank, which is connected to a flushing channel of a toilet bowl via a flushing elbow and to a nozzle (jet) via a connection pipe. During flushing, part of the flushing water is released from the top into the toilet bowl via the flushing elbow and the flushing channel, and another part is released into the lower area of the toilet via the connection pipe and the nozzle. The flushing water entering the nozzle is taken up by an opening of the connection pipe, which extends into the flushing elbow and is always open. To prevent the connection pipe from being suctioned empty and consequently to prevent the suctioning of a suction siphon from being interrupted, the connection pipe has a hydraulic seal, which hydraulically seals this pipe against a vacuum at the outlet opening of the connection pipe during a suction process. Valves and the like, which are susceptible to the deposition of lime, are not employed.

Abstract: A sanitary cleaning apparatus is disclosed, which comprises a cleaning water discharge device, a functional device including another cleaning water discharge device or a private parts dryer, a member for turning on and off the cleaning water discharge device, and a human body (presence or absence) detector. Only while the human body detector produces a human body detection signal, the on-off member for the cleaning water discharge device or the functional device is turned on, thereby selectively actuating a corresponding device. One of the devices thus turned on as selected above is de-energized by (a) the turning off of the on-off member of the selected device, (b) the turning on of the on-off member of the other device not selected, or (c) extinction of the human body detection signal of the human body detector.

Abstract: A water saving apparatus for water conservation which is achieved by minimizing the amount of water required to flush a toilet effectively. A specially configured toilet bowl is combined with a small toilet tank which houses two independent flushing systems. They can be operated singularly, simultaneously or in sequence selectively, depending upon the degree and type of flushing deemed most appropriate by an operator for the occasion. The functions of expelling waste matter present in the toilet bowl and of washing the internal surface of the toilet bowl are separated and each function is performed by the flushing system deemed most effective to accomplish the task, and each task is completed with a minimum amount of water being required for this specific task. The operator alone selects which flushing mode is to be used and retains control of the proper flushing sequence. The operator then is the sole judge as to the extent of water saving that is justified.

Abstract: A water-conserving toilet is disclosed and includes a bowl for receiving waste and a waste outlet extending laterally from the bowl and defining a first, shallow trap arranged so that a relatively shallow body of liquid is normally retained in the bottom of the bowl for preventing gaseous flow through the trap. A flush system is provided and is arranged, when operated, to deliver a charge of flushing liquid into the bowl in a direction to cause said body of liquid to be discharged through said outlet. A waste holding tank communicates with said bowl outlet for receiving waste from the bowl and the holding tank has an outlet extending outwardly from the tank and adapted for connection to a sewer inlet. The holding tank outlet defines a second trap of substantial height capable of preventing reverse flow of sewer gas into the holding tank in use and the holding tank and second trap are arranged to contain a volume of liquid substantially in excess of the volume discharged from the bowl at each flush.

Abstract: Disclosed are an integral plastic bowl, waterway and trap for a toilet and the method of making the product. The bowl is concave and leads into a trap which may be interconnected with a standard closet flange. The waterway is vertically aligned with the trap and slopes downwardly from an inlet to an outlet, which is preferably at a position near the bottom interior of the bowl and which also preferably includes a wall surface in overlying alignment with at least a portion of the downwardly sloping waterway portion. During flushing, water from a reservoir flows down the waterway, against the outlet wall surface causing a vortex in the bowl, and then out of the bowl into the trap. In the method of making the product, a plastic parison is positioned between the sections of a blow mold. Next, the mold sections are closed, pinching portions of the parison shut to partially form the trap and waterway and enclosing another parison portion in a bulbous mold cavity.

Abstract: An essentially all-plastic toilet includes a plastic bowl, trap, waterway, tank and rim flush retained within an outer plastic housing. Polyurethane foam fills the space between the outer housing and the internal components to provide a rigid and strong, yet light weight structure.
