Water disposable system using unwanted water
The present invention relates to a water disposable system comprised of a connecting member having first side connected to at least one unwanted water source and one valve to control the flow of an unwanted water. A toilet water tank is connected a second side of the connecting member, wherein the water tank comprises: a strainer in a stand pipe; a two float system, wherein a first float is set at a minimum tank volume water line, and a second float set at maximum tank volume water line. A button is coupled with a second float allowing the intake of the fresh water from the fresh water pipe upon actuation. A transparent window or gauge is positioned on the front wall of the tank for determining the volume of water in the toilet tank.
Control of toilet bowl fill flow
Various systems and methods of controlling the flow of water from a fill valve in a toilet tank to a toilet bowl of a toilet using a bowl fill valve are provided. An inlet of the bowl fill valve is coupled to a bowl fill outlet of the fill valve and the outlet of the bowl fill valve is channeled to the toilet bowl. In illustrative embodiment, a method is provided comprising the steps of determining when the toilet tank has been substantially drained of water during a flush cycle, and opening the bowl fill valve for a predefined period of time after the toilet tank has been substantially drained of water to fill the toilet bowl of the toilet with water. The predefined period of time is less than a total time of the flush cycle.
Clean water conservation tank for a toilet
A clean water conservation tank for a toilet providing a secondary clean water source to a toilet holding tank from a secondary holding tank mounted to a surface above and in fluid communication therewith. The secondary holding tank includes an outer container having an actuation body therein, a drain, a hollow puncture body attachable to the drain, and a portable internal container, or a substitute container such as a milk jug, removably disposed therein. The internal container has a one-way spring valve controlling the water level therein. Upon the engagement of the actuation body with the spring valve, the spring valve provides selective fluid communication between the internal container and the toilet holding tank. The puncture body, removably disposed within a cap inside the internal container, is used to puncture the substitute container for water flow through the drain and into the toilet holding tank.
Portable Restroom Safety Center
The disclosed invention improves on portable toilets for use in hostile environments. The improvements also provide a mechanism for the portable toilet to interface with transportation devices to facilitate transport. The portable toilet is constructed to withstand wind and explosive forces to protect the user. Equipment is also installed in the portable toilet for user safety.
FLUSH TOILET
A flush toilet of present invention includes a bowl that includes a bowl-shaped waste receiving surface, a rim formed above the waste receiving surface, and a pooled water portion formed below the waste receiving surface, a discharge passage that has an inlet connected to the pooled water portion and discharges waste, and a spout portion that spouts flush water onto the bowl and forms a swirling flow on the waste receiving surface. The waste receiving surface of the bowl has a sectorial recess that is formed between a front end portion of the waste receiving surface and a front end portion of the pooled water portion so as to spread from the pooled water portion toward the front end portion of the waste receiving surface.
LEAK-PROOF WATER VALVE OF TOILET TANK
A leak-proof water valve includes a water inner tube, an outer tube group and a buoyant housing. When the sealing plug of the toilet tank is leaking, leak-proof structure of a buoyant housing for automatically detection is provided to stop the water inlet valve supplying water, so that a user could be aware of the leaking situation to thereby avoid the waste of water resources.
SPACE SAVING BATHROOM COMPONENTS
Water and space saving bathroom components especially useful for a comfort station. Included are a novel toilet having a cistern with a sink in combination with the toilet, a novel waterless urinal and a hand sanitizer dispensing station. The sink is an integrally formed sink into the top of the cistern and has a drain formed into the sink for draining effluent from the sink into the toilet cistern. A faucet is installed in the surface of the sink to provide a clean water source for hand washing and the like that generates grey water after washing. The waterless urinal can be plumbed and mounted to a comfort station wall or on a mobile stand, while the hand sanitizer dispensing station may be adapted for multiple dispensers. The dispensers may be mounted at different heights to accommodate adults, children and disabled persons in wheelchairs.
AUTOMATIC ANGLE STOP
An automatic angle stop assembly, comprising a fluid inlet port and a fluid outlet port; a controller; a solenoid valve; a flow sensor; and a power source; wherein the flow sensor and solenoid valve are in flow communication with the fluid inlet port and fluid outlet port; and the flow sensor, the controller, the solenoid valve, and the power source are in electrical communication. The automatic angle stop assembly is useful upstream of a toilet tank, an ice machine, a refrigerator ice maker, a washing machine or a dishwasher.
Cistern, in Particular In-Wall Cistern, for a Toilet or Urinal, and Drinking Water Pipe System Having a Cistern
The invention relates to a cistern, in particular an in-wall cistern, for a toilet or urinal, with a drain valve which has a closure body which can be lifted from a closed position into a flushing position. The closure body is designed as an overflow pipe and has a seal which rests tightly on a valve seat in the closed position, with at least one water intake line, with a valve assembly for letting in drinking water present in the water intake line, with a water discharge line for discharging the drinking water let in by the valve assembly, and with a controller which generates a control signal for actuating the valve assembly as a function of a sensor signal and/or when a predefined time interval has been exceeded since the last withdrawal of drinking water from a cold water or hot water line connected to the water intake line. The valve assembly lets in water from the water intake line as a function of the control signal. According to the invention, the water discharge line is designed in such manner that it discharges the drinking water let in by the valve assembly directly into the overflow pipe. The cistern according to the invention makes it easier to maintain the drinking water hygienic, offers the possibility of carrying out required hygienic flushes with relatively low water consumption and enables a hygienic flushing independent of the flushing water level.
SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND DEVICES RELATING TO A URINAL
Systems, methods, and devices relating to urinal, in some examples having a movable portion able to pivot from a generally closed to a generally open position. The urinal may have a drain line engaged with a proximal end of the funnel for conveying urine and rinse water into a sewer line or a toilet bowl and a rinse line coupled with a water supply for rinsing urine therein. The urinal may be movable with the assistance of one or more sensors that may automatically signal other electrical or mechanical components to move one or more portions of the urinal, and may be include elements that seal portions of the urinal when not in use or during cleaning to reduce gas or liquid escaping from the urinal system.
