Abstract

The present invention is a device attached to an S-trap (siphon principle) of a toilet and is integrally formed with the toilet, thereby allowing toilet clogs to be easily cleared by simply opening a lid of the present invention. In addition, the prevent invention relates to a device which allows a bacteria infiltration prevention mechanism to be attached to the inner portion thereof. Accordingly, the device is opened and closed through a tube valve (5) connected to a PVC pipe (3) and a magnetic band (4) attached thereto, and prevents bacteria, carried by backflow through the pipe (1) from the septic tank, from infiltrating the anus or the air via the S-trap (siphon principle).

Description

Toilets that can be equipped with a germ-prevention device through a new opening

[0001] The present invention is a device attached to the S-trap (siphon principle) of a toilet, and is manufactured as an integral part of the toilet, so that when the toilet is clogged, the problem can be easily solved by simply opening the lid of the present invention.

[0002] In addition, a bacterial penetration prevention device can be combined inside, and this device opens and closes through a tube valve (5) connected to a PVC pipe (3) and a magnetic band (4) attached thereto, and prevents bacteria flowing back through the pipe (1) from the septic tank from penetrating into the anus and the air through the S-trap (siphon principle).

[0003]

[0004] Generally, toilets installed in bathrooms are made of ceramic, so when the pipes are clogged, they are unclogged using tools, but in severe cases, a contractor is called to dismantle the toilet and unclogged. In order to simply solve this inconvenient situation, a case (6) that is integrated with the toilet is installed between the S-trap (siphon principle) that drains water and the pipe (1) on the floor, and the case cover (7), which is the lid, is opened to easily solve the problem without dismantling the toilet from the floor.

[0005] In addition, the additionally installed bacterial penetration prevention device blocks bacteria, pests, and foul odors from rising from the septic tank through the pipe (1), and prevents infection of the anus and bronchial tubes caused by bacteria spread into the air by the pressure generated when using the toilet.

[0006]

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a toilet, one of the most important items in daily life. Toilets are often used not only for defecation but also for disposal of food waste, which can lead to frequent clogs in the pipes. While numerous pipe-unclogging tools are available on the market, if these tools fail, the hassle of having to call a plumber to remove the toilet from the floor and resolve the clog can be a real hassle. The present invention aims to provide a simple solution by creating a new opening in the toilet.

[0008]

[0009] To solve this purpose, a case (6) integrated with the toilet is made in the S-trap part of the toilet, and when the clogged toilet cannot be unclogged with a tool, the case cover (7) can be opened to simply solve the problem, and a tube valve (5) made of PVC, rubber, or vinyl is connected inside, so that the entrance is normally blocked by a magnetic band (4) and isolated from the outside, but when the toilet is used and washed, the pressure generated naturally opens the entrance, and when the wastewater is discharged, it closes again to prevent bacteria, pests, and bad odors.

[0010]

[0011] In order to clear a severely clogged toilet bowl with the present invention, the case cover (7) can be simply opened from the integrated case (6) without having to disassemble the toilet bowl fixed to the floor, and the clogging problem can be resolved with a simple tool. In addition, a bacteria penetration prevention device that can be additionally installed inside blocks bacteria, pests, and bad odors.

[0012] The germ penetration prevention device is a magnetic band (4) of a tube valve (5) that is blocked when the toilet is not in use, so it can prevent bacteria from coming up from the pipe (1) connected to the septic tank from entering through the S-trap (siphon principle), thereby preventing infectious diseases and maintaining a pleasant health in the user's daily life.

[0014] Drawing 1 is a cross-sectional view of a basic toilet.

[0015] Drawing 2 is a cross-sectional view showing the installation of the present invention.

[0016] Drawing 3 is a detailed drawing of the installation of the present invention.

[0017] Drawing 4 is a detailed view of the present invention.

[0018] Drawing 5 is a detailed drawing of the bacterial penetration prevention device.

[0019] Drawing 6 is a cross-sectional view of the present invention with the case cover and the bacterial penetration prevention device installed.

[0020] Drawing 7 is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view of Drawing 5.

[0021] Drawing 8 is a partial enlarged cross-section view from another direction.

[0022] Drawing 9 is a cross-sectional view showing the operation of the toilet when in use.

[0023] Drawing 10 is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view of a double tube valve.

[0024] Drawing 11 is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view of Drawing 10 viewed from a different direction.

[0025]

[0026] The present invention is described below with reference to the attached drawings.

[0027] Drawing 1 is a cross-sectional view of a basic toilet widely used in the market, and Drawing 2 is a cross-sectional view of the new open port of the present invention installed. Drawing 3 is a detailed view of the present invention when installed in a toilet, Drawing 4 is a detailed view of the invention, and Drawing 5 is a bacterial penetration prevention device that can be installed therein.

[0028] As seen in Drawing 6, the structure of the invention is installed between the S-trap of the toilet and the pipe (1) buried in the floor for draining sewage.

[0029] As shown in drawings 7 and 8 (rotated 90°), the integrated case (6) installed between the S-trap of the toilet and the pipe (1) buried in the floor has a case cover (7) that can be easily opened and closed.

[0030] In addition, inside the integrated case (6), a PVC pipe (3), a tube valve (5) made of PVC, rubber, or vinyl, and a magnetic band (4) wrapped around the entrance are installed, so when the toilet is not in use, the entrance is closed by the magnetic band (4), thereby isolating the outside and the inside, thereby blocking bacteria, pests, and bad odors that may enter from the septic tank.

[0031] Also, as shown in Drawing 9 (rotated 90°), when using a toilet, pressure is generated as feces and sewage flow, and the pressure generated automatically opens the tube valve (5), and when all the sewage flows out, it closes with a magnetic band (4).

[0032] Drawings 10 and 11 show double connection of tube valves (5) made of PVC, rubber, or vinyl to more strongly block bacteria, pests, and odors.

Claims

1. A tube valve (5) structure in which a tube valve (5) is installed inside an integrated case (6) installed between the S-trap of the toilet and the pipe (1), and a magnetic band (4) is attached around the tube valve (5) so that it opens and closes magnetically so that it opens naturally due to pressure.

2. A magnetic tube valve (5) structure in which a low-flush band (4) connected to a tube valve (5) made of PVC, rubber, or vinyl is normally closed but can open and close due to the pressure of wastewater that naturally occurs when the toilet is used.

3. The case cover (7) must be opened and closed to allow insertion and removal of the germ penetration prevention device.

4. Install the bacterial penetration prevention device in duplicate as shown in Drawings 5 ​​and 6.
