A torque limiter includes: a first rotary member configured to be rotated by a drive source; at least one first friction member engaged with the first rotary member; at least one second friction member arranged so as to overlap the first friction member, and configured to rotate with rotation of the first rotary member by using frictional force generated between the second friction member and the first friction member; and a second rotary member engaged with the second friction member. It is preferable that the first rotary member and the second rotary member be pivotally supported by an identical rotary shaft, and that, while either the first rotary member and the second rotary member is fixed to the rotary shaft, the other one be supported so as to be rotatable about the rotary shaft.

A toilet having enhanced cleaning features includes a drain surface positioned behind a rear edge of a toilet bowl opening, which is sloped to direct the flow of liquid waste captured therein back into the toilet bowl. The toilet may also include a seat and lid having arms that are pivotably attached to the toilet, which are spaced so that they are laterally positioned to the outside of at least a portion of a deck surface when the seat and lid are resting thereupon. Additionally, the toilet seat and lid may pivot about an axis that is positioned behind the bowl opening and a proximate to a flushwater inlet of the toilet. Thus, such features of the toilet allow the seat and lid to be positioned so that the deck surface, as well as the drain surface, can be readily accessed and cleaned.

Two polymeric, cylindrical, and tubular bushings that each have an inner surface defining inner diameter, an outer surface defining an outer diameter, an upper end, a lower end opposing the upper end of the bushing, a bushing length separating the upper and lower ends of the bushing, and a bushing channel defined by the inner surface of the bushing and spanning the bushing length, disposed, respectively, within bowl bores defined by a toilet bowl, and with a threaded screw, coupled to a toilet seat, disposed within the bushing channel and coupled to the inner surface of the bushing, wherein the bushings prevent inadvertent loosening of the toilet seat when attached to the toilet bowl.

A toilet assembly includes a toilet with a bowl, a rim surrounding the bowl, and a water inlet pipe extending upward from a rear of the toilet, a toilet seat that rests on the rim and has an opening positioned above the bowl, and an attachment connected to the inlet pipe and the toilet seat. The attachment may include a coupling engaging the inlet pipe and a hinge connection connected to the coupling, where the seat is pivotably connected to the hinge connection of the attachment to pivotably mount the seat on the toilet, such that the seat is pivotable about the hinge connection between a raised position and a lowered position. The coupling may engage the inlet pipe such that the hinge connection is positioned and connected to the seat at a location spaced upward from the top surface of the rear of the toilet.

The invention relates to a mounting device for fastening a toilet seat set to a toilet bowl in a reversibly releasable manner, comprising a connecting segment which can be connected to the toilet seat set in a stationary manner, and a rod segment, which is arranged on the connecting segment and which can be fed at least partially through a mounting opening of the toilet bowl. Furthermore, the mounting device has a deformable blocking part, which is fastened to the rod segment (12) at a distance from the connecting segment, wherein the connecting segment and the blocking part can be arranged on opposite sides of the mounting opening when the rod segment is at least partially fed through the mounting opening of the toilet bowl. The mounting device is equipped with an actuating lever, which has a damping position, in which the blocking part is deformed in such a way that the blocking part cannot be fed through the mounting opening, and a released position, in which the blocking part is deformed sufficiently little that the blocking part can be fed through the mounting opening of the toilet bowl. The rod segment is connected to the connecting segment in a stationary manner in the clamping position and in a translatable manner in the released position, and the rod segment protrudes from the connecting segment at an identical predefined angle in the damping position and in the released position.

The present invention discloses a toilet seat reinforcement adhesive pad kit. The adhesive pad kit includes a pair of adhesive pads shaped and dimensioned to conventional toilet seat mounting tabs. The adhesive pads are configured to adhere to a toilet for preventing a toilet seat from moving laterally. More specifically, each adhesive pad includes a top surface, a bottom surface, and a bolt hole therethrough. The top surface, inner perimeter of the bolt hole, and the bottom surface can each include an adhesive layer or coating. Each adhesive pad is configured to be positioned on a toilet surface using the bottom surface and bolt hole aligned with a hole of the toilet surface. A mounting tab of a toilet seat is placed on the top surface of the adhesive pad such that a fastener can fasten the toilet seat to the adhesive pad using a mechanical fastener.
