Methods and systems for equipping a toilet with hygiene and safety features by controlling and reducing potential escape of liquid waste from the toilet.

A urinal assembly having a frame and a plurality of posts or posts extending from the frame. The frame can include a plurality of openings. The openings can be defined by a plurality of sides and corners. The posts can extend from the corners and/or from the sides of the openings. In some embodiments, posts extend from a first face and a second face of the frame.

The toilet apparatus includes a main part and a toilet seat. The main part includes a function part, and a case cover covering the function part. The main part is attached on a toilet bowl. The toilet seat is attached rotatably to the case cover. The toilet seat has a closed state and an open state. The case cover includes an extending portion, a height of the extending portion becoming low toward forward, and a toilet seat pivot support portion provided backward the extending portion, and pivotally supporting the toilet seat. The toilet seat includes a first portion positioned forward the case cover in the closed state, and a second portion rising backward from the first portion in the closed state, overlapping the extending portion, and being pivotally supported to the toilet seat pivot support portion.

A toilet tissue mist with a liquid discharge device for spray application to toilet paper. The liquid dispensed onto the paper in small quantities is for personal cleansing of the human body and results in a cleansing and freshening up of the selected areas. The mist turns the toilet paper into the equivalent of a wet wipe or cloth which would be soothing to sensitive areas. Likewise, the mist is scented and helps freshen up any unwanted odors. The device is portable and compact and may be used on the go as well as being used at home. Likewise, the resulting moistened wipe can be discarded by flushing it down the toilet, just like regular toilet paper. In a preferred embodiment, the device is configured to provide a diameter of mist to the toilet tissue with a dry outline circumscribing it.

A gas sensor system is for use in, or in the vicinity of, a toilet, for detecting a target gas. A gas sensor detects a concentration of at least the target gas and a further, reference, gas which is received from a controlled gas release device. These concentrations are processed to obtain a concentration of the target gas relative to the concentration of the further gas by combining a change in the detected concentration of the target gas, a change in the detected concentration of the further gas, the sensitivity of the gas sensor system to the target gas and the sensitivity of the gas sensor system to the further gas. This approach avoids the need for extensive calibration operations to tune the sensor response to the environment in which it is used.

A urinal assembly having a frame and a plurality of posts or posts extending from the frame. The frame can include a plurality of openings. The openings can be defined by a plurality of sides and corners. The posts can extend from the corners and/or from the sides of the openings. In some embodiments, posts extend from a first face and a second face of the frame.

An automatic purifier switch cover comprises a protective shield configured to be used in conjunction with the Cogswell Toilet Air Purifier. The switch cover shields the motion detector of the Cogswell Toilet Air Purifier from activation when the toilet is not in use.

An emanator device for emanating an air treatment agent into the surrounding air comprises a housing which contains a solid or liquid source of the air treatment agent, wherein the housing comprises a blister or capsule containing an air treatment agent and a plurality of openings which are sufficiently small that they can be closed by a film or plug of water. For example the openings may be provided by a gauze or mesh. The openings do not inhibit the emanation of air treatment agent released from the blister, but when the emanator device is subject to wet conditions, as may happen in a dishwashing machine, the openings are blocked by a film or plug of water. The air treatment agent does not therefore enter the water, where it may have caused adverse effects, or simply have been wasted. Under dry conditions, however, emanation occurs normally.

An automatic dispensing device for volatile fluid operable to apply one or more agent to a local environment for more than 14 days. Preferred devices dispense a first agent for air freshening, and may optionally dispense a second agent, such as a drain cleaner. A workable drain cleaner is structured to permit a slow release of drain cleaning agent. A dispensing device may nonexclusively operate by evaporation of volatile fluid from a polymer or rubber-like carrier material that is infused with the volatile fluid; gravity-induced drip from a bulk supply of volatile fluid through a small orifice onto an emanator; osmotic transfer of volatile fluid from a bulk supply; gas-pump drive of volatile fluid at controlled pressure; or diffusion of volatile fluid through a wall of a container of bulk volatile fluid; and combinations thereof.

A stacked type quantitative toilet cleaning agent dispenser includes a housing, an inner box mounted in the housing and defining the housing a bottom chamber beneath the inner box and an aisle around the inner box and above the bottom chamber, and a cover covering the inner box and having a first water inlet in communication with the inside space of the inner box and a second water inlet. Further, the inner box has an open end tube that keeps the second water inlet in communication with the bottom chamber and isolated from the inner box. Further, the cover has a first water outlet below the elevation of the first water inlet. The aisle is disposed in communication with the space outside the housing via a second water outlet that is disposed below the elevation of the second water inlet.
