Toilet assemblies having various embodiments of a cleaning system are described herein which include a toilet assembly and a cleaning system. The toilet assembly has a toilet bowl, a toilet tank, a flush valve, a rim inlet port and a rim flow path (which may be an isolated rim path) extending from an outlet of the flush valve to the rim inlet port. The cleaning system has a reservoir for holding a liquid cleaning agent having an outlet port in fluid communication with the interior space of the reservoir body; a housing to receive the reservoir, a supply conduit in fluid communication with the interior of the reservoir; a flow control device capable of controlling flow through the supply conduit; and a control system activatable by an actuator feature, wherein upon activation of the actuator feature, the control system is adapted to initiate a clean cycle by: operating the flow control device for a first period of time sufficient to deliver a dose of a liquid cleaning agent from the supply conduit to an interior space of the flush valve in a closed position, the flush valve configured for delivery of fluid to the rim inlet port, and operating the flush valve to open the flush valve to introduce flush water to carry the dose of a liquid cleaning agent through the rim inlet port into the toilet bowl.

A sanitary facility formed as a toilet, including a body with an upwardly open bowl, a water chamber provided in the region of the upper rim of the bowl, to project horizontally into the bowl. Wherein at least one flushing opening on the chamber side directed downwardly into the bowl. At least one connection portion is provided in the rear region of the body for connecting a flushing-water feed line for feeding flushing water into the water chamber, from which the water flows into the bowl via the chamber-side flushing opening. The water chamber extends only in a rear rim region. A second and a third flushing opening are each able to be supplied with flushing water and allow the flushing water to be introduced tangentially into the bowl. The third flushing opening is positioned closer to the front side of the body than the second flushing opening.

A water passage in a front region of a bowl of a toilet includes an upstream side water passage and a downstream side water passage formed on the upstream side and on the downstream side, respectively, of a front end of the bowl surface. The curvature radius of the downstream side water passage in a plan view is set to be smaller than the curvature radius of the upstream side water passage in a plan view. The water passage in the front region of the bowl has a flow path vertical cross-section that is taken in the vertical direction and is formed between a shelf surface and an overhanging part. The cross-sectional area of the flow path vertical cross-section taken in the vertical direction is set to be the smallest in a front end of the water passage.

A siphonic flush toilet system and method of priming the same having a toilet bowl assembly comprising at least one jet flush valve assembly and at least one rim valve; and bowl having a rim and a jet defining at least one jet channel, the at least one jet channel having an inlet port and a jet outlet port configured for discharging fluid to a sump area, wherein the sump area is in fluid communication with a trapway. The bowl has a closed jet pathway including the jet channel and extending from the jet flush valve assembly outlet to the jet channel outlet port to maintain the jet channel in a primed state with fluid from the jet flush valve assembly so as to assist in preventing air from entering the closed jet pathway. Flush valves are also disclosed having back-flow preventer mechanisms and/or at least partly flexible valve covers for use with the toilet systems and methods herein

A flush toilet comprises a bowl including a shelf formed on the top edge of a bowl-shaped waste receiving surface, and a rim forming an inner wall surface rising from the outside edge of this bowl; and a rim spout portion for spouting flush water to the inside of the bowl. The rim spout portion is disposed on the bowl rim and forms a single rim spout port over the entire perimeter of the rim for spouting flush water, and the rim spout port is disposed on either the left or right of the front side region, and spouts flush water rearward. The region to the side of the rim spout port in the inner wall surface forms a continuous band over the entire bowl perimeter.

A flush toilet comprises a bowl portion including a waste receiving surface, a rim portion formed on the top edge portion thereof so that inner circumferential surface thereof rises essentially vertically, and a shelf portion formed between the rim portion and the waste receiving surface; a water spouting portion for spouting flush water onto the shelf portion to form a swirl flow; and a water conduit for supplying the flush water to the spouting portion. The water spouting portion is formed in the front region of the bowl portion, and a part of the inner circumferential surface of the rim portion is formed in an inward-facing overhanging shape; and the water spouting portion is covered by the overhanging part of the rim portion such that a user cannot observe the water spouting portion when viewing from diagonally forward and above the bowl portion.

A toilet includes an inlet structure, a bowl structure, and an outlet structure. The inlet structure is configured to receive water. The bowl structure has a toilet bowl including a rim and a sump, a split fluidly connected to the inlet structure and including a first passage and a second passage, a shelf located below the rim of the toilet bowl and fluidly connected to the first passage, a side channel fluidly connected to the second passage, and a diverter that redirects the water from the side channel to the sump of the toilet bowl. The outlet structure is fluidly connected to the sump and is configured to discharge water from the sump into a drain.

A toilet having a water inlet structure, a bowl structure, a rim, and an outlet structure. The water inlet structure is configured to receive water from a water source. The bowl structure includes a toilet bowl and a water channel, which is fluidly connected to the water inlet structure and is configured to feed water into the toilet bowl from an outlet of the water channel that is located between a back portion and a side portion of the toilet bowl. The rim has a solid, annular member disposed around a top of the toilet bowl and entirely above the water channel, is formed separately from and coupled to the bowl structure. The outlet structure is fluidly connected to the toilet bowl to carry the water and contents from the toilet bowl to an outlet.

A flush toilet includes a first rim spout port provided in a rim on one side in a left-right direction of a bowl and a second rim spout port provided in the rim on the other side in the left-right direction of the bowl. The first rim spout port is disposed further in the front than the front end of a well portion. The second rim spout port causes the second rim spout to traverse a swirling direction of a swirling flow of the first rim spout and guide the flush water interfering with the swirling flow of the first rim spout to a rear region of the howl further on the rear side than the well portion.
