Color releasing toilet overflow indicator
11726001 · 2023-08-15 ·

A device adapted for installation onto a toilet overflow pipe to indicate a leaking condition of a toilet flush valve. The device having a stem portion with a diameter configured for receipt within an interior diameter of a toilet overflow tube. The device including a housing forming a reservoir for collection of water prior to entering the overflow tube. The reservoir including a cavity for the placement of a water soluble pigment, wherein the pigment is dissolved within water in the housing and into the overflow tube. An alternate embodiment of the device, includes a stay member configured to support a ball float member in an off condition.

Toilet overflow prevention system and method

A system for preventing overflow of a toilet includes a sensor, a processor and an actuator. The sensor senses a parameter caused by fluid dynamics within the toilet during a flush cycle. The parameter may involve vibration, sound, pressure, fluid flow rate or other detectible characteristics of the toilet. The processor uses information regarding the parameter that is gathered by the sensor to evaluate the condition of the flush cycle to determine if an impeded flush condition exists. In the event of an impeded flush condition, the processor directs the actuator to close a valve, which may be the toilet flapper valve in some embodiments. Also disclosed are methods for preventing toilet overflow, detecting an impeded flush condition and calibrating the system.

A contaminant type detection system and method, which enable detection of the type of the contaminants contained by wireless signals, before or after the use, by the liquid within the component of the ceramic sanitary ware that provides the connection of the ceramic sanitary ware with the wastewater installation, in other words, within the elbow structure, and which, in case a contaminant other than the expected is encountered, enable to inform the user and/or third parties about the contaminant.

Toilet bowl with clog removal function
11162252 · 2021-11-02 ·

Provided is a toilet clog removal device installed in a toilet bowl. The toilet clog removal device comprises cartridge provided in an upper portion of a toilet body and configured to generate or store gas with pressure; a toilet cover hinged to the cartridge and configured to open and close above a toilet seat and the toilet body. The cartridge stores a compound for generating the gas with pressure inside and, when the compound decomposes by igniting an igniter, the gas with pressure is generated and discharged from the cartridge.

Toilet-Type Device
20230313517 · 2023-10-05 ·

Toilet like device, which saves water through the separation of solid and liquid depositions, in a hygienic, comfortable, simple, autonomous and aesthetic manner. It's composed by a main toilet body, which has an open space within itself, connected to the main toilet bowl, a space which is open in its front and superior sides. This space works as a water and urine recipient, the water and urine come from the urinal, which at the same time works as a drainage for urine and water. This space also works as a liquid recipient when the urinal is in vertical position, since it is very likely that, after a liquid deposition, the urinal needs to be raised towards a vertical position, for various different reasons. Any liquid remaining in the urinal falls into this space, without going into the rest toilet body, and much less onto the user.

Toilet with digitally controlled manifold to distribute fluids

An analytical toilet comprising a bowl for receiving excreta from a user; a flush mechanism for cleaning the bowl after use; at least one analytical test device wherein a sample of excreta is analyzed; a manifold comprising conduits and valves for distributing one or more fluids to and from the at least one receptacle; and a digital control device controlling the valves to distribute the sample to the analytical test device for analysis; and distribute fluid to remove the sample from the analytical test device after analysis and to clean the analytical test device is disclosed.

Table accessory for a toilet
11825935 · 2023-11-28 ·

A table carried at the distal end of a table leg that is configured for anchoring entirely on a toilet. The table leg is anchored at its proximal end to an upside-down J-bracket configured to couple with the rim of a toilet bowl. A J-bracket typically includes a clamping mechanism to horizontally squeeze the rim. Table elevation above floor level may be adjusted by way of a telescopic table leg, and/or a coupling mechanism between the proximal table leg end and the J-bracket. Horizontal orientation of the table top surface may be maintained by an anti-twist mechanism and an anti-roll mechanism.

DEVICE FOR COLLECTING LIQUID AND SMART TOILET COMPRISING THE SAME
20220276133 · 2022-09-01 ·

The present invention provides a device for collecting liquid and a smart toilet comprising the same. The device comprises a fixing support, a swinging mechanism, a suction tube assembly and a pump body mechanism; the suction tube assembly (9) comprises a slide rail component and a retractable suction tube component disposed therein, one end of the slide rail component is connected to the swinging mechanism; the suction tube component comprises a suction tube internally provided with a cavity and an opening disposed above the cavity, and a first conduit disposed in the suction tube one end of the first conduit is inserted in the cavity, the other end of the first conduit is connected to the pump body mechanism. The fixing support is fixedly connected to the toilet body; the suction tube component swings towards the center of the toilet under the effect of the swinging mechanism, the suction tube component is used for receiving the urine. The device further comprises a liquid-level sensing mechanism for monitoring the amount of the urine in the cavity in real time and controlling the start and stop of the pump body mechanism according to the amount of the urine. The device takes the urine sucked in the air as a sample for health analysis, avoiding the problem of cross-contamination caused by sucking the urine from the inside surface of the toilet.
