Abstract

A toilet includes a toilet bowl assembly having a toilet bowl and a trapway extending from the bottom of the toilet bowl to a sewage line. The toilet bowl has a rim channel provided along an upper perimeter portion thereof. In this toilet, the flush water flows through the rim channel in a path which is asymmetric and unidirectional along the entire perimeter portion thereof. The rim channel includes a plurality of rim openings distributed evenly along the perimeter of the rim channel. Flush water passing through the plurality of rim openings pre-wets the entire perimeter of the toilet bowl. The rim channel further includes a pair of water discharge slots which directs water directly into the toilet bowl in two powerful streams. The flush valve allowing passage of water from the water tank to the toilet bowl assembly is in the form of a valve inlet having a radiused port to generate greater energy throughput of the flush water.

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a toilet for the removal of human and other waste. The present invention further relates to a toilet which is resistant to clogging, increases flushing capacity, and delivers the flush water volume with greater energy.BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

[0002] Toilets for removing waste products are well known. Typically, toilets incorporate three systems that work together to perform the flushing action. Those systems are (1) the bowl siphon, (2) the flush mechanism, and (3) the refill mechanism. Working in concert, these three systems allow for the flushing function of the toilet.

[0003] Siphoning is used to transport fluid and waste from the higher elevation of the bowl to a lower elevation of the wastewater line. The flow channels in a toilet assembly are designed to begin siphoning when the water in the bowl rises above a certain level. The siphon tube itself is an upside down U-shaped tube that draws water from the toilet bowl to the wastewater line. ...
