Problems solved by technology

While the traditional suction cup plunger with a wide flat face may still be popular, it may be difficult to use these plungers on newer curved toilet drains.
These plungers still suffer from a great deal of slippage while in use and require additional pumping strokes to be effective.
In use, however, the pumping motion of these plungers often results in the undesired creation of waves, bubbling, and backsplash of the water within the toilet.
While spring plungers have the po

Embodiment Construction

[0033]With reference now to FIGS. 1 through 4 of the drawings, a new hydraulic plunger device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the present invention and generally designated by the reference number 10 will be described.

[0034]The hydraulic plunger 10 generally includes an elongated tubular handle or wand 12 configured to be connected to a source of pressurized fluid, such as water from a conventional water faucet, and a plunger head 14 that is secured to an end of the wand and through which the pressurized fluid is discharged. The plunger head 14 is positioned below the siphon discharge nozzle 18 of a toilet 20 so that the pressurized fluid is discharged through the drainage passage to release any blockages therein.

[0035]As best illustrated in FIG. 2, the plunger head 14 generally includes a carrier body 22, a coupling 24, a first 26 and second 28 flange, and a resilient foam body 30.

[0036]The elongated carrier body 22 has a liquid inlet end 32, a liquid outl...

Abstract

A toilet plunger device relating to a hydraulic plunger that may be inserted into a toilet to create a seal beyond or below the siphon jet that, further, may employ pressurized water to dislodge a clogged toilet drain. The plunger includes an elongated carrier body with a coupling, a first flange, a second flange, and a resilient foam body. This assembly is connected to an elongated tubular wand that is connected to a trigger valve which, in turn, is connected to a source of pressurized liquid. The foam body is inserted into the toilet drain and creates a tight seal around the drain. The trigger valve then operatively releases a flow of pressurized liquid through the tubular wand and the elongated carrier body to break up debris and clear the drain.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates generally to toilet plunger devices, and more particularly, relating to a hydraulic plunger device that may be inserted into a toilet to create a seal beyond or independent of the siphon jet that, further, may employ pressurized water to dislodge a clogged toilet drain.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Previous toilet plunger devices typically employed a manual hand operated plunger, typically consisting of a rubber cup and stick to dislodge a clogged toilet drain. While the traditional suction cup plunger with a wide flat face may still be popular, it may be difficult to use these plungers on newer curved toilet drains.[0003]Other hand operated cup plungers will not have the open face of the traditional plungers but, instead, are typically designed to fit the tubular curve-shaped toilet drains and often have a rubber flange extending from the bottom of the cup to allow for the plunger to fit in the toilet drain with a tighter...
