09809967 · 2017-11-07 · ·

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.

A toilet apparatus comprises a base including a bowl and a rim. The bowl retains water and waste material. The water and the waste material emitting an odor. The rim extends inwardly from an upper periphery of the bowl, wherein the inwardly extending rim includes an upper surface, a lower surface, and an inner surface. The inner surface of the rim including one or more ventilation ports providing fluid communication between an interior of the bowl and a ventilation chamber. The ventilation chamber is connected to a ventilation pipe. An exhaust fan ventilates the odor through the ventilation chamber and the ventilation pipe from the interior of the bowl.

The rim area includes a flange defining an opening. The nozzle system includes a nozzle having a first end configured to be fluidly coupled to a water supply conduit and a second end fluidly coupled to the rim area. The second end defines an outlet formed at a compound angle. The connector assembly detachably couples the nozzle to the flange such that the nozzle extends through the opening.

Retractable urine-splash mitigating device
09822518 · 2017-11-21 ·

Described herein is an apparatus mitigating splash-back during the use of a conventional toilet while urinating. The apparatus uses a plurality of upstanding baffles that provide for a large target area mounted on a base with a central opening. Additionally, the baffles rotate into and out of operative configurations, relative to the inner-toilet surface, to allow the use of the toilet for solid waste. The baffles mitigate the effect of splash back as the urine stream makes contact with the baffles and reflects the droplets laterally. Additionally, droplets generated when the urine stream contacts either the base or pool of standing water is mitigated by the baffles intercepting the reflective path back to the user.
