  • Patent number: 4155129
    Abstract: A bottom discharge toilet in which a trap is formed integrally with the toilet base. While the trap plays no role in the flushing action of the toilet itself, it is adapted to receive the discharge from other plumbing fixtures and thereby to serve as a single, common trap for such fixtures. By directing the received discharge through the interior of the toilet, the trap also assists in keeping the toilet outlet line clear. To further reduce the overall cost, the toilet is formed in several interlocking pieces as a kit which can be conveniently shipped and handled, and then assembled on-site. A novel water inlet valve operates in cooperation with a flushing mechanism to clear the toilet and refill the bowl with a minimum of water consumption.
